A Visit to Rock County Advocacy Services, Inc. – Empowering Our Community

Today, I had the chance to visit a truly important organization here in downtown Beloit—Rock County Advocacy Services, Inc. If you're not already familiar with them, they're doing some really meaningful work in our community, and I’m excited to share more about what they offer and how they’ve been making a difference since 2012.

Getting There

Rock County Advocacy Services, Inc. is conveniently located at 136 W Grand Avenue in downtown Beloit. Now, the office is on the third floor, so it’s easy to miss if you don’t know exactly where to go. But don’t worry! Just walk through the main doors of the building, head to the elevator, and take it up to the third floor. You really can’t miss them, and when you walk in, the welcoming and supportive atmosphere is immediately apparent.

The Heart Behind the Organization

Tammy, the founder of Rock County Advocacy Services, started the organization in 2012 because she saw a significant need for representative payee services in the area. She wanted to ensure that people who might be struggling with managing their finances could still maintain control over their lives with the proper assistance and support. Tammy and her team have been dedicated to empowering those in need ever since.

Services Offered

The services they offer fall under two primary categories: Corporate Guardianship and Representative Payee. So, you might be wondering, "What exactly are those?" Essentially, these services help individuals who are unable to manage their own financial or personal decisions for various reasons—whether due to age, disability, or other challenges.

1. Corporate Guardianship: This is where the organization steps in to assist in making major life decisions on behalf of individuals who may not be able to make those decisions themselves. It’s all about ensuring that people are supported in living the best life they can.
2. Representative Payee: For individuals who struggle with managing their finances, Rock County Advocacy Services can act as a payee, making sure their money is managed properly and essential bills are paid on time, while still protecting the dignity of those being helped.

This type of service helps so many people in need, from managing finances and ensuring rent gets paid, to making sure that bills don’t go overlooked. It's a vital safety net for many in the community.

The Impact on the Community

Walking through their office and talking with Tammy, it’s clear how dedicated the entire team is to their mission. They really work to meet each person’s individual needs and ensure that everyone they serve gets the support they need to live independently and with dignity. It’s not just about managing finances or paperwork—it’s about making sure people are being looked after in the most caring way possible.

What stands out about Rock County Advocacy Services is their personal approach to care. Every individual who works with them feels supported, not just as a client but as a person with value and potential. That’s what makes this organization special. Tammy and her team do far more than paperwork—they provide peace of mind for families and create an environment of trust and respect.
