Jill Kruse, D.O.

I had to wait a long time in the ER to get admitted to the hospital. My stay at the hospital was excellent.

Therapy people were very helpful. Aids sat me in the chair at 9 am never got me up to walk 'till after 6 and only because my wife came and asked why I was sitting that long without moving. I used the pics container so I didn't even get up to pee. Never once did anyone offer or put lotion on me they wiped me down with those alcohol wipes my skin was just flaking off by the time I hot out of there. Had nebulizer twice a day. Never once did they have me rinse my mouth and spit it out just had me take a drink of water. My wife even asked why I wasn't rinsing and spitting. Leaving hospital I was told when get home rinse and spit very important. Wife questioned it again so they called respiratory and oh yes need to rinse and spit. What does anyone know what goes on ... food was delivered and they waited for my wife to get the table ready what would they do if she wasn't there. Green beans were hard as a rock. The emergency room was a joke. The dr there I would never see again. A person is suppose to feel good knowing there is a hospital in there town but damn near have to dead before going there.

The staff is good overall but need more training in caring for an elderly person.

Only complaint is that I asked 2 - 3 times if my husband could get an actual shower instead of a sponge bath. My husband is handicapped and in a wheelchair so bathing is always somewhat complicated. We were always told yes - but never happened over a 5 day stay. All the facilities were there so I cannot understand why after being told several times that they would come back later to do a shower - never happened.

The staff at Brookings Hospital are very kind & caring people.

Some of your aides need to do better

Food service needs to understand that you can't serve beef gravy with chicken and mashed potatoes It is a terrible combination!

The nurses were wonderful!

Food is a little bit to be desired

The nurses all did a very nice job.

I left the Brookings Hospital via ambulance to Sioux Falls. Their care was also excellent. No complaints at all.

it was a pleasant stay with quick and direct care

Rest is hard to get, if possible to have nurse, lab, rad etc visits closer together vs lab hr later nurse hr later dv. So hard to rest back to a restful state esp when nurses are SO loud @ night.

I was so happy with the Brookings Hospital, everyone treated me so well. I cannot say enough. I am happy we have such a great place in Brookings.

I had excellent care while I was in the hospital. Thank you!
