Iris Memory Care of NW Oklahoma City is a dedicated memory-care community that specializes exclusively in serving residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions, including advanced stages. The care team is trained to recognize and manage behaviors common to memory loss, and the setting is structured to reduce the risk of elopement while honoring resident dignity. Special dietary protocols are available for therapeutic or physician-ordered diets, and meals are prepared with consistency to help residents who may rely on routine.
Daily operations are supported by licensed nurses, an activity director, and 24-hour awake staff. The building is protected by alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and pull-cord alert systems that connect directly to caregivers. On-site care accommodates residents with psychiatric diagnoses, and assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and all transfer needs, whether a resident uses a walker, wheelchair, or requires hands-on help from one staff member.
Accommodations include suites that may feature a private bathroom, individual climate controls, and cable service. Not every room has every feature, so touring families should confirm which options are included in specific floor plans before making a decision. Rooms are designed to support orientation cues that benefit memory-care residents.
Dining follows a set menu to support consistency, with snacks offered between meals. The culinary team can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered nutrition plans, including low-sodium, diabetic, or other special diet requirements.
The community is wheelchair accessible throughout and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center for exercise or rehabilitation programs, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and local errands.
