Kruse Village breaks ground for new, larger cottages
Oct. 26 , 2006

BRENHAM, Texas - Where there is now pasture land, a group of 12 new and larger cottages will soon be constructed at Kruse Village, a community for seniors at 1700 E. Stone in Brenham.

A groundbreaking ceremony for The Greens of Kruse Village was held on Thursday, Oct. 26. The event was attended by Kruse Village staff and residents, Brenham community leaders and representatives of Lutheran Social Services of the South, the non-profit organization which owns and operates Kruse Village.

Located on five acres, the 1,400-plus square feet cottages (duplexes), called The Texas, will be the largest offered at Kruse Village. Each two-bath, two-bedroom cottage will include a two-car garage and covered porch.

The beautifully landscaped grounds will include a putting green and gazebo. Plans also call for a walking trail.

"Eventually, we will have 27 of the new cottages," said John Berkely, vice president for senior services for Lutheran Social Services. "With the large number of baby boomers retiring in the next few years, the demand for independent living will be increasing.

Kruse Village is one of the few full-service senior communities in the area, and offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing care and dementia care.
