Kayla Clinton, Rocky Knoll Nursing Home Administrator, presented the facility’s February 2026 report to the Sheboygan County Health Care Center Committee on March 19, 2026, reporting an average daily census of 138 residents compared with a budgeted 132.
Clinton outlined staffing pressures in direct care: 17 open registered nurse positions, 5 licensed practical nurse positions and 42 certified nursing assistant openings. She reported February hiring of one personal care assistant and one CNA, and four CNA separations during the month, indicating ongoing turnover in front‑line roles.
Clinton also summarized resident activities and community engagement for February, citing intergenerational programming noted in UW–Madison articles, a choir visit from Plymouth Riverview Middle School, Valentine’s Day cards from Plymouth Parkview Elementary, Superbowl and Olympic activities, and a Life Enrichment Chordettes singing telegram. She noted four employee anniversaries — one 45‑year, two 35‑year and one 30‑year — totaling 145 years of combined service.
The administrator’s report was presented as part of routine committee business; no public comment was recorded at the meeting. The committee voted on financial items and adjourned after the report (see separate article for motions and approvals).
