The Rocky Knoll Foundation is a non-profit organization funded entirely through donations. This Foundation was created to fund projects that enhance the lives of residents at Rocky Knoll Health Care Center. Even though the Center is county-owned and included in the Sheboygan County budget, the Foundation is a separate entity and not supported by the Sheboygan County budget.
Enhancing Living for Residents
Rocky Knoll has a long-standing tradition of providing the highest quality of care to its residents, and the efforts of the Foundation assure that a good quality of life is a large part of our standard of care. Whether it is through updating physical surroundings or providing increased programming, everything the Foundation does is meant to spread joy and lift spirits.
About the Foundation
The Rocky Knoll Foundation began in September 2000 when a few Sheboygan County Board Supervisors envisioned a means to fund certain projects at Rocky Knoll that could not be included in the annual operating budget. Since Rocky Knoll Health Care Center is a county-owned and operated facility, the best alternative was to create a Foundation to raise money separately. The singular focus of the Foundation is to fund life-affirming services and developments to enrich residents' lives that are not covered in the County budget.
As members of the Board of Trustees we share the view that residents have earned our respect and appreciation for their work and participation in the community. We have a deep commitment to their life-affirming care. Your help will enhance their comfort and surroundings, and provide those extra touches that make each day brighter.
Mahatma Ghandi said it best, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” If we all do something, imagine the impact we can have together.
The mission of the Foundation is to pursue, promote, and commit to initiatives that enrich the overall quality of life for everyone living at Rocky Knoll Health Care Center.
