What it’s like

Iris Memory Care of Edmond is a residential memory care community at 2424 NW 178th St in Edmond, dedicated exclusively to Alzheimer's and dementia care as a home-like alternative to traditional assisted living. The community is built as two separate buildings, each housing a maximum of 20 residents, so that individuals with memory loss live in small, intimate settings. From the front door it is designed to feel like a single-family home, complete with familiar sights, soothing sounds, and homey aromas, and an open-concept gourmet kitchen encourages community engagement.

Certified care staff are on-site 24 hours a day with an on-site nurse, and the community maintains higher staff-to-resident ratios than typical assisted living. Services include medication management, personal assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming, incontinence care, mobility and transfer assistance, and three chef-prepared, dietitian-approved meals daily. Private suites feature granite bathrooms, custom tile showers, hardwood-like flooring, and calming wall colors. Enrichment includes a full-service salon, game and activity room, covered porches, courtyards with circular walking paths, Snoezelen therapy, and pet therapy, all within a secured, access-controlled environment.

State Inspection Record

Oklahoma inspects every assisted living and memory care community on a regular schedule, plus any time a complaint comes in. Inspectors are state employees, not part of this site — what follows is what they found, in their own words.

Built by Paul Swales, a senior placement advisor, from Oklahoma State Department of Health inspection records — not from reviews. Assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.

What state inspectors found

5 inspections in the last two years · 4 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings

Over the past two years Oklahoma inspectors visited Iris Memory Care of Edmond five times, and four of those visits ended with no deficiencies cited — including both 2026 visits. Complaints about abuse, falls, dignity, elopement, skin care and staffing were investigated and not sustained, and the May 2025 licensing inspection found the building clean and odor free with enough staff to meet residents' needs. There is one serious exception. In December 2025 the state cited the community after reviewing video of a March 15, 2025 incident: a resident with dementia slid out of bed at 5:47 a.m. and was not helped up until 6:24 a.m. — about 37 minutes. The video showed the aide who came in at 5:48 a.m. did not respond when the resident said 'Can you help,' turned off the bed alarm, was on their phone, provided incontinence care while the resident lay on the floor, and left the room; by 6:18 a.m. the resident was screaming for help and another resident went to find staff. Only one aide was assigned to that building overnight, and the director of nursing confirmed the facility did not call emergency services for lifting assistance. The community retrained all staff on fall response and the state verified in a January 28, 2026 revisit that the deficiency was corrected. The two inspections since then, in January and April 2026, found nothing wrong.

  • Four of the five state inspections in the last two years ended with no deficiencies cited at all, including the two most recent visits in January and April 2026. 04-01-2026
  • When the state investigated a complaint about physical abuse and about skin care and urinary tract infections, inspectors watched staff provide personal care, reviewed skin assessments, care plans and incident reports, and concluded the community was following the rules. 01-15-2026
  • After the December 2025 citation, the community's correction plan was accepted and the state verified in a January 2026 revisit that the problem had been fixed. 12-29-2025
  • During a September 2025 visit, the inspector saw staff in both buildings helping residents, tidying up, gently redirecting residents, and taking part in activities with them. 09-04-2025
Show all 8 findings
  • That same September 2025 visit included a check of employee files for licenses, abuse training and background screening, and no problems were cited. 09-04-2025
  • At the May 2025 licensing inspection, the surveyor found residents received incontinence care promptly, no soiled clothing, no odors anywhere in the building, and restrooms that were clean and fully stocked. 05-01-2025
  • In that May 2025 review, care plans and staff schedules showed enough staff for the residents' needs, and families, residents and staff who were interviewed raised no complaints about care, staffing or cleanliness. 05-01-2025
  • A separate May 2025 abuse complaint was not sustained; residents were seen calm and cooperative, and residents told the surveyor they felt safe. 05-01-2025

What the state also noted

  • The December 2025 finding involved overnight staffing: only one aide was assigned to building B while building A had two, and the DON confirmed emergency services were not called for lifting assistance.
  • This record is not spotless. Seven of the eight positives above come from the four surveys with no deficiencies cited; the eighth describes the revisit that closed out the December 2025 citation.
  • Only the May 2025 inspection examined cleanliness, odors and restroom stocking. The other clean surveys did not report on those areas, so the cleanliness findings reflect a single inspection day.
  • The cited incident occurred 03/15/2025 and was captured on video: the resident was on the floor from 5:47 a.m. to 6:24 a.m. The aide who entered at 5:48 a.m. did not respond to the resident's request for help, turned off the bed alarm, was on their phone, wiped the resident's lower back and anal area while the resident was on the floor, and left at 5:59 a.m. At 6:18 a.m. the resident was screaming for help and another resident went to summon staff.
  • One of the five surveys (exit date 12-29-2025) resulted in a cited deficiency under the resident rights and medical care rules, affecting one or a few residents, for failing to provide timely assistance after a fall for 1 of 3 sampled residents.
  • Statements about staffing adequacy and cleanliness reflect what surveyors observed on specific inspection days in 2025 and are not a guarantee of day-to-day conditions.

My help finding the right community costs your family nothing.

You never pay me — the community pays my fee, and only if someone I introduce moves in. And one person calls you back: me, not a call center.

  • The price above is not the price you’ll pay. Care-level charges, community fees, medication management and second-person fees all stack on top of that base rate. I’ll walk you through what this community really charges for someone in your loved one’s situation — and push to get the move-in fee and deposit reduced.
  • Whether they have a room, and would take your loved one. I’ll find out what’s actually open right now and whether they’d genuinely accept this level of care, before you spend a morning touring.
  • How it compares to the others nearby. I hold the same state record for every community in the metro. Their sales office will never tell you the place four miles away has a cleaner history.

Call me before you contact a single community.One conversation usually saves a family weeks, and costs you nothing — here’s why, and how I get paid.
Paul Swales, Senior Placement Advisor at Oklahoma Senior Placement

I’m Paul Swales, and this is what I do all day. A senior placement advisor is the person who finds the right community for your family and does the hard part for you. I’ve read the state health department’s inspection record on every community in this metro. I know which ones will genuinely take your loved one’s level of care, and I make the calls — so you’re not doing this alone at eleven at night on your phone.

It works like a buyer’s agent in real estate. Your family never pays me. The community pays my fee, and only if someone I introduce actually moves in. There’s no cost to your family and no obligation to keep using me.

The one catch is the order. They only pay my fee if I introduce you before you contact them yourself. Call them first and you’re a walk-in — I can’t step in as your advocate after that. It costs your family nothing either way. It only decides whether you have someone on your side.
