From the Administrator's Desk

Hello Brookings Health System! My name is Jeremy Klinkhammer and I am the new administrator here at The Neighborhoods. I couldn’t be happier to join the team here. I have been here for about seven weeks and I am blown away at all of the great people that work within this health system. The Neighborhoods is a wonderful building and has a great history of being one of the best nursing homes in the state. I look forward to continuing that tradition and using my years of experience to making The Neighborhoods an even better place to care for the wonderful people of Brookings and surrounding communities.  

As I said earlier, I have been here for about seven weeks. I have 16 years of nursing home administrator experience. I have a passion for long term care and I don’t see myself anywhere else. My wife, Lexy, is a CRNA at the new Avera hospital in Sioux Falls. We have three children, Langdon (12), Bentley (10) and our little self-proclaimed “boss princess,” Berkley (4). The boys are active in all sports, with wrestling being their main sport. Berkley loves—well maybe not loves—but enjoys going to all of the boys activities and is going to be starting preschool this fall. We love to spend time as a family and enjoy sneaking away on vacation as often as our busy schedules allow.  

As we continue to navigate our way through this pandemic, we will keep everyone posted on any and all of the new guidelines. We would all like this to go away and get back to normal. What that normal looks like, I am honestly not sure. We will do everything we can to assist in meeting the needs of all the loved ones we have here at The Neighborhoods. I look forward to continuing to meet everyone and assisting any way I can to continue the wonderful tradition of The Neighborhoods!  

Take care and God bless!
