Iris Memory Care of Edmond provides a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including advanced stages. The community is equipped to admit individuals who wander during the day or night, display exit‐seeking behavior, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, or are younger than 60 years old. Staff members are trained to manage these needs safely within a secured environment, giving families an option for residents whose care requirements may exceed those offered in traditional assisted living settings.
The secured campus operates with round-the-clock staffing and accepts residents with co-existing psychiatric conditions. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can eat independently are encouraged to do so. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person or two-person physical assistance, and the team is comfortable working with walkers and wheelchairs. Continuous monitoring and targeted interventions help reduce fall risk, prevent elopement, and maintain consistent behavioral management.
Accommodations are furnished and arranged to reduce confusion and support independence, though individual rooms may differ in size, layout, and specific features. Families should review the options during a tour to confirm which units meet particular mobility or personal-space needs.
Meals are prepared on site and offered through a set menu with the added flexibility of on-order selections. Staff can modify textures, portion sizes, and seasoning to align with physician-ordered dietary plans such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered diets. Scheduled dining times are structured to promote routine, yet accommodations can be made for residents who prefer to eat at other times.
The building is wheelchair accessible throughout and includes an exercise room, a wellness center, campus-wide internet access, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands.
