Iris Memory Care of Edmond

The numerous physical and mental activities along with the musical guests were the highlights of his final days. We fully appreciated the many memorable pictures and videos you posted of him via Facebook which we'll always cherish. I highly recommend your team to any family dealing with loved ones suffering from memory issues. Your team is awesome and caring!!!

My family began our search for a community Mom could call her home around August 2021. We wanted a place that was one story, had an open floor plan, staff that engaged with the residents and a home that had a comfortable feel to it. Upon touring IRIS, I immediately knew we had found a new home for mom. The staff was highly informative, answered all of my questions, the residents were happy, and the home was very clean. The IRIS staff continues to assist our family with daily updates, answering our evening phone calls to Mom and actively communicates ( both talking and listening) every time we visit. We love the Facebook activity updates and photos. Mom calls IRIS her Home Away from Home. She loves her private room and bathroom, enjoys the meals/snacks, likes that IRIS does her laundry, and loves going on the bus to the various activities. When we check Mom out of IRIS, her friends are always waiting for her to return with open arms, big smiles, and hugs. Thank you, IRIS!!

When searching for a memory care for my mother, I visited all the neighboring homes with memory care. My family and I thought we had an idea of what we wanted for her. That was until we visited Iris. D.D. gave us more education about our mother’s disease and type of care she needed than we have received in the last three years since my mom’s disease has progressed and she has had to be in a home. The things we thought we wanted for her were more for comfort for us, I believe… The staff was and is always attentive. They seem to really love all of the residents. Their knowledge of this disease and how to treat while letting their residents live in dignity, let me know she is in the best place. My mom is doing as well as she can with this disease. She seems so much more calmer and relaxed at Iris. She is full of smiles. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Placed my Mother at Iris Memory care a little over a month ago. We spent a lot of time searching different facilities and talking with families from other facilities. We were impressed with Iris from the first meeting and facility visit. The residents were doing activities and seemed happy. The facility was beautiful and cozy, clean with no unpleasant smells. They have met and exceeded my expectations on every level. My mother says “You don’t need to come up here everyday now, they take real good care of me and are so kind. I love my room they keep it so clean and the food here is real good.” Couldn’t ask for more than that!

We chose Iris Memory Care of Edmond because I was referred to them from others. I would give the staff above a 5 if I could, they are very invested in their residents and you can tell that they truly care. It has been an awesome experience and I would highly recommend to other families looking.

They have the most wonderful activities director here. It is a place to go when you need to place for your loved one. During COVID, they allowed me to see one hour a week. The location was good for us, as it was close to me. The buildings were well kept.

This community is wonderful. My sister and I comment regularly on how blessed we are to have found it. Everyone is so pleasant.

My Mom lived at Iris for two years until her recent passing. Everyone at Iris provided the best most compassionate care. Communication with the Director and Head Nurse was amazing. I was always able to reach them for any questions or concerns about my Mom or just to receive reassurance of how she was doing. The peace of mind they provided was priceless. During Covid when I was unable to see my Mom in person, I never worried about her care as I knew she was in the best hands. All the staff treated her like their own family member. I can not recommend Iris enough! Wonderful place, with amazing activities program as well and food that is GOOD! It really does feel as close to home as possible.

Iris took care of our mother. Iris provided the best care she has ever gotten. They truly loved her like family.

I am a real estate sales agent with Remax. I referred a family I sold a home for. [name reoved] was very helpful, she helped this family thought very difficult transition. I would recommend this community to anyone who is looking for memory care for the loved one.

The staff are always very friendly and very professional. My husband is receiving excellent care, says the food is good and he has no complaints. I appreciate the effort of the Wellness Director to arrange visits with family and patient as allowed by the state health department.

We moved my mother to Iris in July 2020 and have been very happy from day one! Iris has not only taken care of her memory but her physical well being as well. My mother smile looks healthy, eats well, and takes part in activities much to our surprise! She is always saying how nice everyone is to her and how much she likes it at Iris. It has been a blessing to our family to have the Iris family in our lives.

My sister has resided at Iris Memory Care of Edmond for six months. Every time we visit, I am more convinced that we made the right decision in choosing Iris for her care. She was furious about being placed in memory care, but Iris staff members have been wonderful at helping her adapt and feel at home. For the most part she is now content there. She'll say things like, "Why, this hotel has everything you could possibly need!" or "If you have to be in the hospital, this is the one to be in because everyone is so NICE to you here!" I like that there are planned activities every day. My sister doesn't often choose to participate, but I'm glad there are fun things to do and outings to go on, if she so desires. All in all, an excellent choice!

My husband has been a resident at Iris for 11 months and I feel that he is loved and well cared for by their staff. I don't know what I expected, but I have found Iris to be a community that not only tends to their residents' needs, but also has a great support network for the residents' families. The administrators are all on site and often assisting the staff and interacting with the residents. They have also made it clear that they can be reached for advice or concerns at any time. I would highly recommend Iris Memory Care of Edmond to anyone needing dementia related care for their loved one.

Between my mother-in-law and my mom, I have personal experience with five senior care homes. Iris Memory Care in Edmond is by far the best. It came highly recommended by the social worker at the geriatric psychiatric ward my mom was treated at. When my brother and I visited, the staff spent a lot of time with us answering our questions. My brother and I also knew two families with loved ones at Iris, and both families were very pleased with their care. Once we moved our mom to Iris, we were surprised and extremely pleased with the environment and her care. Iris has a unique setting, in that their executives’ offices are right there with residents’ rooms, and the executives are hands on in helping to care for the residents. At my mom’s former assisted living home, the attitude seemed to be waiting for her to pass. At Iris, she experienced life again. She loved to walk, and staff spent the time walking with her! She was included in many outings like Braum’s and even the circus, even though she was in the advanced, final stages of Alzheimer’s Disease. Her quality of life was the absolute best it could be during her last months of life, and for that we are so grateful! Communication is so important to me, and the staff did a wonderful job calling and texting to keep me informed of Mom’s care. I don’t know that anyplace can replace home, but through our experience, I believe that Iris is the absolute next best thing! I will forever be grateful to them for what they did for Mom!
