Buzz Kemper speaks with Kayla Clinton, Abby Becker, Keith Abler, and Governor Tony Evers about Rocky Knoll's century of caregiving. Rocky Knoll Health Care Center began its century of caring for Sheboygan County residents in 1926 when it opened as a facility to care for people diagnosed with tuberculosis. Today, Rocky Knoll is licensed to serve up to 149 residents, providing short-term rehabilitation and long-term care care. In a unique model, Rocky Knoll also offers on-site child care and fosters intergenerational connections between the residents and the facility’s youngest visitors. The facility was also home to the family of Gov. Evers, whose father was the medical director of Rocky Knoll until he retired in 1982.
