They have some amazing staff the only real complaint is the food. I’m there almost 5 days a week to see my Father and the food is so processed and just really sad. The pictures on their website are not at all like the food daddy gets. I really wished they would fix it. They are great to make pops a sandwich (which is good) to replace the normal meal. The late overnight shift seems a little lazy but there are also some amazing caregivers as well whom I love!

My family and I are grateful for the outstanding, and compassionate care my Mom received while at IRIS Memory care. Debbie, Tolley and the entire care staff have been wonderful to work with since the day we dropped in to find Mom a new home. Chasity was always a breath of fresh air and the team made Mom feel welcome from the day we moved her in. The care staff gave Mom love and attention she needed to acclimate to her new surroundings. The staff at Iris really understand the disease of Alzheimer’s/ Dementia and provided a safe, nurturing environment for Mom and our family. This facility is one of the nicest and cleanest I have been in. The Iris ensure they have adequate staff to care for the residents, this gives family peace of mind when they can’t be there. The families you meet here are caring and supportive as well, we formed a bond with several families.
