Nestled on Selby's eastern edge sits the Walworth County Care Center. The center originally opened in the 1960s and has served the area’s 5,300 residents for over six decades. But in 2018, the owners of the center deemed it unprofitable and notified staff the facility would be closed. They were given two months’ notice.

The community wasn’t satisfied with that decision. The town rallied together and raised over $500,000 to purchase the nursing home and keep it open. The care center’s administrator, Trista Bates, said there’s no secret to success, it’s just the people.
