Iris Senior Living

This review is during COVID. From our understanding we believe they have taken great care of our loved one, we have not been able to go inside this community because of COVID. From some of the people we have talked to, they have talked well of the place. The staff members have been very accommodating to us during this time. We were able to walk in to the front desk and it seemed clean, but we have not been able to see his room. Everyone has been very friendly from top to bottom. We believe the value is pretty good, compared to the other places we researched. We have seen some activities on Facebook and it all looks fun and engaging, due to our loved ones memory he doesn't participate in them but for everyone else it looks to be fun.

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.

I am so grateful for Iris in Rowlett. My mother needed a safe place to be while I worked M-F. Iris was a perfect fit!! She thrived mentally and emotionally while there. She had activities to keep her engaged and had other’s around to chat with. The employees always greeted her with a smile and did all they could to make her feel welcome!! It is so nice to know there are places like this!!!

I moved my mom into Storey Oaks almost 3 months ago and have been very impressed with the staff there. They are kind, caring, and I have never seen anyone there be rude or in a bad mood towards my mom. Everyone there seems mindful and happy with their jobs. The management also respects its employees, which is so important in the general atmosphere of a nursing home, and directly relates to the treatment of your loved one. They are great at handling her carefully, as she is partially paralyzed and requires full assistance. I live out of town and they communicate with me about any issues that come up with her, and are willing to listen. And they can manage her special diet and swallowing issues with meals that she actually likes. The facility itself is also not too big, so the residents get a good amount of attention and personal care, and aren't just a number in a long hallway. Finding the right situation for my mom with all her care needs has been a real challenge for me, and I'm very grateful to have called A Place for Mom and to have found Storey Oaks. There are so many factors to a good nursing home and Storey Oaks has checked off all the boxes for me so far and I feel reassured that I don't have to worry all the time.

I feel I can relax knowing Mom is getting excellent care at Iris.

A small family-like community ... super casual, informal and relaxed making it feel just like home. It has Literally TONS of activities that aren't just "entertainment "or "distraction" but tools to make the residents feel useful, needed and valued..... all attended to both a caring staff that does a superb job of communicating with me as a family member too.

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.

We ended up placing my dad in Iris after trying a Memory Care center a little closer to home. Iris was a much better fit for our whole family! My dad is a difficult case and they were patient with him and worked with my family to find the best way to care for him. The whole staff always made my mom feel welcome and part of the family. We wish we would have made the switch sooner, but we are glad we found it now!

When I had to move both parents to memory care at the same time, the staff at Iris made a difficult transition go more smoothly than I would have expected. All of the staff are very caring and engaged with the residents. They have also been responsive to my concerns and requests. This is a nice place and the food is good too.

Mom is very happy here. The staff always make her feel cared about and listened to. They don’t mind that I like having input into Mom’s healthcare. I also love that this location has fewer residents and a sense of family.

My mother has been a resident at Iris (previously Silverado) for over two years. The staff at Iris treat her with respect and love. They actually care about her and want her to have the most fulfilling life that she can under the circumstances. They have so many activities to keep Mama engaged and active. They're really good at gently encouraging her to do things that are outside of her comfort zone. I have total peace of mind when I am not with my mom, because I know that she is truly being taken care of.

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!

Iris took very good care of my step-mother (a late-stage Alzheimer's patient). Very pleased with their professionalism and personal touch.

The facility is very designed to provide a comfortable and secure enviroment for individuals suffering from dementia or alzheimers. They have made our mom comfortable and provide superb care and oversight. Staff is very warm, friendly and knowledgable.

My mother has very high functioning vascular dementia and Storey Oaks has been a God-send to us. She came from a skilled nursing facility in a mid-sized town and they just didn't know what to do with her. Once we found Storey Oaks, my sister and I both knew this was the place mom needed to be. She has blossomed creatively and socially. There are many activities that interest her. Mom loves animals and there are 2 bunnies that the residents care for. I have been able to bring mom's cat up for a visit and, on a separate occasion, my own dogs. The staff is a good team and they know each resident and care for them personally according to their memory needs.

The staff is so very kind. It was stressful for me to find the right place for mom, and they worked me through every step. The facility is modern, well decorated, very clean and bright. It's a happy place to visit and mom seems content to be there.

I toured several memory care facilities and settled on Iris. I was impressed with the small size and low resident to staff ratio. Everything is first class. Residents are engages in many structured activities and treated with frequent day time trip outings. The facility is always clean and the meals are great.

Iris is the perfect small memory community! The staff is so helpful, caring and kind. The facility is clean. The nursing coordinator is very intuitive and really cares about the well being of the residents.
