Our seniors are in good hands with Dakota Klinkefus

Meet Dakota Klinkefus, assistant administrator for Guardian Angel Homes in Post Falls. Dakota has been in the senior care industry for nearly 15 years, getting his start in the certified nursing assistant program at his high school located in Cottonwood. Dakota, having been reared in the small farming community of Cottonwood, was no stranger to large family gatherings and spending quality time with the seniors in his family. He took part in the town’s 4-H program for 10 years, participating in raising sheep, swine and steer as well as learning to work with leather, cook and decorate cakes. It was in his junior year of high school that he discovered a passion for healthcare in pursuing his CNA license. Fifteen years later, he still finds joy and purpose in caring for one of the most vulnerable and greatest parts of society, our senior population.
