My mom was at Kruse for rehab for about 3 weeks. I am a LVN and I have worked at a few SNFs in the Houston area for over 21 years and worked with hospice, visiting numerous facility for 7 years. The staff at Kruse were very professional and caring. The facility is a little older, but well kept,.very clean and has a wonderful atmosphere. My mom has been in several facilities for short rehab stays past hospital admissions. She said that if it comes time to live in a facility, she would pick Kruse Village. Thank you to the staff for your wonderful care.

My loved one was in rehab for a week. After 3 visits they said no visitors due to Covid. They sent him home with his arm all marked up from a fall, and a fungus around his catheter. I would not recommend Kruse to anyone. I know there are happy people there that buy/ rent rooms and homes. However when you put your loved one in for care (that they don’t ended up receiving). Come on, if their bathing/cleaning them… how did he come home with fungus that he did not have prior to going to kruse? That lazy lazy people. Also I don’t want to hear about short staff, that’s kruse’s decision on how many people are hired. 🤔
