Staff members sat at "nurses" station on their phones, most were unfriendly, and non-engaging. There was only 1staff member that was "qualified" to administer meds. Had 1 experience where my family member ran out of pain meds and it was not recognized by staff. My family members room was kept fairly clean but we (the family) swept, mopped cleaned bathroom when we visited. The kitchen, dining room and hallways were dirty. Food was not cleaned from the dining tables or the dining room floor after meals in a reasonable time frame. Food was palatable but not very warm. Daily "snacks" were nonexistent as far as I know. The entrance to the AL area gave a "convincing" portrait of good aesthetics. But the moment u entered the"Dungeon" (what staff called memory care) everything changed for the worse. Administrative staff changed 3 times in the short time our parent was there. It was next to impossible to reach any one of them by phone. Quality of care--all I can say is I never witnessed mistreatment but I could be there for hours and no one would come in the room to check on her. My parent was attacked and injured by another person living there, yet that person was allowed to wander as usual. Activities were nonexistent. Value for the money--absolutely unbelievably Horrible. That place should be ASHAMED!! If there had been another choice I would have moved within the first month but I needed my family member close to me. It is very shameful how the "owners" are padding their pockets and have no remorse for taking advantage. The residents in Memory Care are not afforded the DIGNITY that they rightly deserve I WILL NEVER recommend this AWFUL place to ANYONE!

I was concerned that memory care didn't monitor the patients well. My husband had to be transported 3 times in 2 days because he fell out of the bed. He then got pneumonia and was transferred to nursing home care. We were extremely pleased with the care and staff in the nursing home care area

My loved one is currently a resident at Kruse Village. Most of the staff are friendly, but they appear to be understaffed. The facility, at first appearance, is neat and clean. However, my loved one's bathroom is not as clean as I feel it should be. Communication with the family is non-existent unless I initiate it. The move in process went very smoothly. I am very disappointed in the appearance, taste and temperature of the meals. Medications have also been an issue, as far as my loved one getting them in time and also meds being re-ordered in a timely manner so as not to run out.

They are short handed. It is an older facility but still decently kept up. For the money I think it is a good deal. They also have rehab and independent care too as well as a nursing home section. I would absolutely recommend Kruse Village to others looking.

On [date removed] my family and I moved my Dad to Kruse Village, hoping he would get more care as they promised. I was wrong, from the first day nothing was what I was told. First I was informed that my Dad's room would be ready on [date removed] and he could be moved on that day. My sister and I walked into his room with hands full and saw that the room wasn't ready because the commode was sitting in the shower and no running water. Since hospice had been assigned to my Dad a bed was already set up and his two recliners were already in the room. My sister and I should have taken my Dad back to where he was staying or to his home, that was a mistake leaving him there. So, from [date removed] till [name removed] my Dad was not taken care of properly. Examples, I had asked if Kruse personnel would help my Dad during meal time feeding him. I was informed by employees that they were not allowed to feed the residents, even the hospice nurse assigned to my Dad requested them to do the same, she was told the same. I asked employees that were contracted to Kruse and they told me to contact their boss and they would gladly do it. My Dad was left a lot alone in his room, of which, he slept a lot. On days I would visit many times other residents would walk in his room and look in his closet, etc. I also saw a resident leaving his room as I was walking down the hall to my Dad's room and when I came in they had been in the bathroom using his toilet. Not happy about these things and asked why residents were allowed to walk into any other resident's room and I was told it was okay. I did not agree and looked up in the residents' rights, of which I signed for my Dad, and read that a resident must be invited to another resident's room. I did not pursue the matter any further until one day, in September, I walked into my Dad's room to visit and smelled a foul odor coming down the hall. I saw my Dad laying in his bed asleep, and I thought someone had come in and used his restroom, as I turned to examine the room further, I saw someone had used my Dad's recliner as a toilet and a huge pile of human feces was in his recliner. It took me about a week to realize that it was not going to be good for my Dad to stay in this environment any longer and contacted the hospice nurse assigned to my Dad to get him out of Kruse Village and in two days, [date removed] my Dad was brought home to his residence in Brenham. The day he came home he had the biggest smile on his face and was so grateful I brought him home. My Dad lived 13 more days and died on [date removed]. I will not recommend this facility to anyone, especially the memory care department.
What we really like about Kruse Village is that it feels like family and we would recommend this community to other families .
They seem very responsive, my loved one is very content there. She says the food is good, they give her medications on time. They have lots of activities around for residents to participate in. Even get to take trips to certain places or to go get ice cream.
My grandmother was housed in Kruse village in Brenham for 5 years before she finally passed. At first the staff wasn't that great the first 4 years we had issues but they let go of all those people and had all new staff and OMG these people go above and beyond. I'm so glad god took care of my Nanny and she was well taken care of in her last year. The nurses and CNA's are angels and the most kind and caring people I've ever met. I would recommend if you care about your nanny being dry and clean and well taken care of.

The Kruse Village community was perfect, we have absolutely no complaints to say about them. They were really good with the COVID numbers, and they took really good care of our loved one while she was there.

There are multiple buildings and types of apartments to stay in. The food is average in restaurant style dining. We chose this community because it is close to our family and they had good recommendations. When we toured they were on time for appointment and the director of the community a the tour and he answered every question that we had. I would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

This place was ok but I was not impressed with the room. Someone had just left and it was very messy and unable to imagine what it would love like with my father's furniture. Very small and no other options available.

Oh my, where do I start. My mother and father are in this facility. My father needed the memory unit (assisted living)and the care he received there was first class until the head nurse was replaced. He then needed more care and was moved to LTC facility. He walked to the LTC facility and within 4 days he was in a fetal position in the emergency room semi comatose. My mom is in assisted living and they chart that they check on her hourly, but don't. Very poor care. We are looking at moving them. Poor Long Term Care unit. This place has really gone downhill since it has been taken over by the new owners. My great aunt was there 5 years ago and it was excellent. New owners, terrible care.

Had a great visit with [name removed], very impressed with Kruse Village. Strongly considering moving into one of the Kruse Village duplex's. Brenham is a great town, not overcrowded, good places to eat. Met and talked with several seniors that are living in the Village, they all love everything about Kruse Village.
