I am very thankful that we found Iris Memory Care of NW Oklahoma City for my mom. It was a difficult time for our family when her care needs exceeded what we could provide, and we were unsure where to turn. From first contact, Iris was responsive, informative, and caring. Laura was extremely helpful from the beginning. She set up a tour and answered every question we had.<br><br>Iris specializes in memory care, and it shows. Residents are treated with dignity, compassion, and love. Tonja, the wellness director in my mother's building, has clearly found her purpose. She genuinely cares for the residents, takes the time to understand who they are, and makes real connections with them.<br><br>When I visited my mom after her first two weeks, she could not stop talking about how well she was being treated. She called Iris "top notch." She said things like "isn't it peaceful here" and "they treat you so well here." Hearing that from her gave our family enormous comfort.<br><br>My mom's stay was short. Her condition declined, she moved to comfort care with hospice, and she passed a few weeks after moving in. The staff at Iris was wonderful throughout, providing consistent care, support, and compassion during the hardest days. I wish we had more time with her, and I wish she had more time to enjoy Iris. I take comfort in knowing her battle with this disease ended in a place worthy of her.<br><br>I will miss the other residents I connected with, especially Sue and my buddy Joel. If you are looking for a place for your loved one, I highly recommend Iris.

My mom was at this facility years ago, then we moved them both in together to a different facility. After my mom passed we moved my dad back to Iris. We did this because of the care and attention we received. My dad is well cared for and the staff is attentive and respectful of his wants and needs. The facility is clean and well maintained. Activities go beyond to involve residents and provide memorable experiences.

Iris Memory Care has been a true blessing for my dad and our family. The staff is kind, compassionate, and treats him with dignity and respect every day. Knowing he is safe, well cared for, and surrounded by people who genuinely care gives us tremendous peace of mind. We are so grateful for the love and support they provide.

We are so thankful for the Iris Memory Care team! My dad has been there for six months and we have been so pleased with his care. The staff members are a huge blessing to my dad and our whole family.

My family decided to move my dad into Iris NW OKC about six months ago. From day one, we have felt at peace that this was the right decision. We have been heartbroken for quite some time over his Alzheimer's diagnosis, but Iris welcomed us with open arms and were ready to help with his care. We have felt genuinely loved and cared for by the entire staff. With daily visits to see my dad, we have a lot of chances to observe what goes on inside the facility. I have never once seen a resident that was not being cared for, or a staff member who was not attending to their needs. Our expectation is not total perfection, but it is clear that Iris is dedicated to the loving care of their residents. I would love more than anything to see Alzheimer's Disease become a thing of the past, but until then I'm very thankful for the support we can rely on at Iris.
