Frequently Asked Questions

−
Who operates Rock Haven, and what does county ownership mean for residents? + −
Rock Haven is owned and operated by Rock County, Wisconsin's county government. This means the facility is accountable to the public and governed by county oversight rather than private shareholders. County operation often means a strong commitment to accepting Medicaid, serving residents who need financial assistance, and maintaining transparency in care quality and operations. Rock Haven has a public service mission that extends across all of Rock County.
Does Rock Haven accept Medicaid for long-term care residents? + −
Yes. As a government-operated county facility, Rock Haven is a primary resource for Rock County residents who rely on Medicaid (Wisconsin's BadgerCare Plus or standard Medicaid for long-term care) to fund skilled nursing services. The admissions and social work team can help families understand eligibility, application processes, and financial planning options. Call (608) 757-5076 to speak with the admissions office.
What hospitals are near Rock Haven on the north side of Janesville? + −
Rock Haven is located along County Trunk Highway F on Janesville's north side, with convenient access to Janesville's hospital systems via North Parker Drive and Highway 14. Mercyhealth Hospital on Mineral Point Avenue and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital Janesville are both accessible within a reasonable drive, and Rock Haven's nursing staff coordinates closely with both systems for care transitions.
What is the area around Rock Haven like for families who visit? + −
Rock Haven's north Janesville location is near Rockport Park, a popular county park along the Rock River offering walking trails, open fields, and river access—a great spot for family outings after visiting a loved one. The Highway 14 and Milton Avenue corridors nearby offer grocery stores including Woodman's, pharmacies, and a wide variety of dining options. The broader north side of Janesville is a growing area with easy access to community services.
Is Rock Haven appropriate for long-term care, or primarily short-term rehabilitation? + −
Rock Haven serves both long-term residents requiring ongoing skilled nursing care and short-term residents recovering from acute illness, surgery, or hospitalization. As a county facility, Rock Haven has historically been a cornerstone resource for long-term care for Rock County residents, particularly those with complex medical needs or limited financial resources. The clinical team supports both rehabilitation-focused stays and permanent residency.
