Iris Memory Care of Tulsa

Iris Memory Care is a specialized memory care community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, offering assisted living services for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The community is designed as a home-like environment with three separate buildings, each built to accommodate a maximum of 18 residents, reflecting research showing that those with dementia thrive in small, intimate settings.

The physical environment features carefully chosen design elements intended to support memory care residents, including hardwood-like flooring for durability and fall prevention, and wall colors selected for their calming qualities. Resident suites and community spaces emphasize both privacy and dignity. An open floor plan allows residents to navigate easily while enabling staff to provide accessible supervision, supported by a higher staff-to-resident ratio compared to most assisted living communities.

Caregivers at Iris Memory Care are specially trained to assist residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, with a focus on understanding how memory loss impacts each person differently. The community offers activities and amenities designed around the sensory needs of memory care residents, providing opportunities for movement, social engagement, and mentally stimulating activities that encourage overall well-being.

The kitchen and dining areas are designed to encourage community and social engagement, with families welcome to join residents for home-cooked meals. The community accepts residents for respite care, short-term stays, or long-term stays.
