The Neighborhoods at Brookview sits along Yorkshire Drive near Brookings Hospital and Brookhaven Estates, offering a wide range of care options all under one roof, so folks can get skilled nursing, short-term rehab, long-term care, memory support, and both palliative and hospice care, and there's a Transitional Care Unit for elders who need a little extra help recovering from surgery, illness, or injury before heading back home. The place holds 79 certified beds and is licensed by the State of South Dakota Department of Health, with services covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and it's got a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, plus several honors showing a history of good healthcare. Staff provide help with everything from daily chores like bathing, dressing, and medication, to full nursing care with a 12-16 hour skilled nurse presence and a 24-hour emergency call system, and there's always someone ready for transfers or help for folks with limited mobility, so families get some peace of mind.
The community is designed around a Town Center with a chapel, library, salon, country store, and café, so people have spaces to visit, talk, and relax, and outside, there are gardens, courtyards, patio areas, picnic spots, and walking paths to enjoy some fresh air or keep up with gardening. Residents can join in on social and recreational activities, use the arts and activity rooms, visit the movie theater, and pick from resident-run or staff-planned events, which helps everyone stay connected and active. Fitness rooms and scheduled physical activities let folks work on their strength and balance, and therapy services like physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy happen right on site, so people don't need to travel far for basic rehab needs.
The dining room serves restaurant-style meals and handles special diets, and staff help with meal prep, cleaning, and laundry, while private rooms come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and telephone, with some rooms furnished if needed, making it easier for new residents to settle in. There's a mix of studio room layouts, and a big focus is on creating a comfortable, homelike feeling, so residents have access to shared living rooms, kitchen and dining areas, patios, and gardens, and if someone is part of the Bethel Community or needs assisted living, those services are available too. A day care program is offered for the elderly, along with adult day services and short-term respite care to help out family caregivers.
The Neighborhoods at Brookview is non-profit and part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, so people can move through different levels of care as their needs change, and there's also a strong resident and family council to help solve problems or make suggestions for improvements. Transportation and parking are provided for errands and medical visits, with extra support from nearby health facilities like Brookings Hospital, so emergency, lab, imaging, and respiratory services are close by if needed. Brookview aims to treat every resident with respect, supporting dignity and quality of life, and tours are welcomed so new folks can meet staff, see the spaces, and get a feel for life in the community before making any decisions.
