Iris Memory Care of Nichols Hills is a specialized memory care community at 8300 N May Ave in Oklahoma City, directly north of downtown just off Hefner Parkway, serving Nichols Hills, The Village, Bethany, Northwest Oklahoma City, and Edmond. It provides Alzheimer's and dementia care in a home-like setting rather than a traditional facility, with resident suites featuring hardwood-like flooring and calming wall colors, comfortable living rooms, covered porches, and beautiful courtyards.
Certified care staff are available 24 hours a day alongside an on-site nurse, with medication management, personal assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming, incontinence care, mobility and transfer assistance, and three chef-prepared, dietitian-approved meals daily. Amenities include a full-service salon, a game and activity room, and personalized daily activity programming, all within a controlled-access environment supported by life-safety systems and an emergency generator. Families are welcome 24 hours a day, and pet-friendly memory care is available on a case-by-case basis.
Care levels, room types and features at Iris Memory Care Of Nichols Hills. Not sure which of these your loved one actually needs? That’s where I can help — most families are guessing at this part, and guessing wrong is expensive.
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.
2 inspections in the last two years · 2 with no deficiencies cited
State inspectors visited Iris Memory Care of Nichols Hills twice in the past two years — a full relicensure survey in November 2025 and a complaint visit in December 2024 — and cited no deficiencies either time. Four separate complaints were investigated on site during those visits, including allegations about staffing levels, about abuse, and about families not being notified of a change in a resident's condition, and none of them resulted in a citation. During the unannounced visits, surveyors wrote that they saw staff assisting residents with activities of daily living and interacting with residents appropriately and respectfully, and they reviewed assessments, care plans, incident reports and nurse notes without finding a problem. Families and residents were interviewed directly about the care being given.

Every inspection Oklahoma has on record for this community. The rating is based on the last 2 years, so a community is not scored on something it corrected long ago — but the older record is here to read either way.

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.
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.
Oklahoma Senior Placement can get you current availability, the real monthly price, and a tour at Iris Memory Care Of Nichols Hills — at no cost to your family.
