Nice Community
My loved one had issues with their plumbing and heating . Dripping faucet and furnace that kept on running without kicking off . They have fixed the issues but it was very frustrating for my loved one . The community try's to keep my loved one in the loop of any events or special things going on on certain days . They have friendly staff.

Best in Town
If you have the money this is the best community in town for your loved one. They have activities like card games, games projects and more for the residents to do. The activities are really good and I like them.

Enjoying My Time Here
I have been at Brookdale Great Falls for almost two months, and so far, it has ben great. I have really been enjoying my time here at the community, but I will say that it certainly is a different way of life for me. Overall, I feel I'm warming up to the place well, and I would definitely recommend the community to others.

Small Apartment, Not a Good Fit
It was a very nice community. We were shown an apartment that was small. It would have been a suitable place to eat and enjoy activities.

Dad's life at Cambridge Place
When it became clear that dad could no longer live alone, we toured senior living communities in both Great Falls and Helena, Montana. This was not an easy task as we wanted what was best for dad. From the moment we stepped foot into Cambridge Place, he was completely at home. The people were caring and loving and the atmosphere was lively. He spent almost 3 years there and always called it home. We cannot thank everyone there for the love they gave him. As dad's health deteriorated, we had to find a new home for him. He misses his family there very much (Gayle, Eric, Jim, Sonya, Diana and many many others). I would definitely recommend Cambridge Place.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Iris

The Iris offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Iris 8.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
