About

Iris Memory Care of Tulsa is a memory care community at 9494 E 101st St in Tulsa, specializing in Alzheimer's and dementia care within a home-like assisted living environment. The community is built as three separate buildings, each designed for a maximum of 18 residents, emphasizing small, intimate settings with an open floor plan for easy navigation. Resident spaces feature hardwood-like flooring and calming wall colors, with comfortable living rooms, covered porches, and courtyard spaces.

Certified care staff are available around the clock 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, three chef-prepared and dietitian-approved meals served family-style, plus housekeeping and laundry. Enrichment activities span art, music, gardening, field trips, and spiritual support, and amenities include a full-service salon, a game and activity room, a secured walking path, and a pet therapy program, all within a life-safety-equipped, access-controlled environment.

OSP RatingOSP GoodHow we rate: the OSP Rating is built from this community’s Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) survey history — weighing how recent, how frequent, and how serious the state’s inspection findings are. (Assisted living has no federal star rating, so we base it on the state’s public survey record.)

Gooda clean, solid state inspection record — better than most Oklahoma communities.

Based on Oklahoma state (OSDH) survey history — assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.

What state inspectors found

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited

Iris Memory Care of Tulsa's most recent state inspection, in April 2025, was a full relicensure survey combined with a complaint investigation, and it ended with no deficiencies cited. The complaint alleged there were not enough staff to meet residents' needs; inspectors arrived unannounced, watched staff with residents at meals, during activities, and during personal care, reviewed schedules and time sheets, and interviewed residents, staff, and family representatives before concluding staff could meet residents' needs. That is a meaningful result, because the state looked directly at the concern a family had raised and did not sustain it. Only one survey falls within the last 24 months, so this is a single point in time rather than a long track record.

  • The state's April 2025 inspection, which combined a full licensing review with a complaint investigation, ended with no deficiencies cited. 04-02-2025
  • Someone had complained that there were not enough staff to meet residents' needs. The state investigated that specific concern and did not sustain it. 04-02-2025
  • During an unannounced visit, the surveyor watched staff with residents at meals, during activities, and during personal care, and found residents' needs were being met. 04-02-2025
  • Inspectors went beyond watching — they checked work schedules and time sheets and talked with residents, employees, and family representatives, and concluded staff could meet residents' needs. 04-02-2025

  • The investigation began without warning to the community, so what the surveyor saw was an ordinary day, not a prepared one. 04-02-2025

What the state also noted

  • Only one survey falls within the 24-month review window, so this reflects a single inspection rather than a pattern over time.
  • The documents describe staffing and daily care but do not address other areas such as medication administration, infection control, or the physical environment, so nothing can be said about those.
  • Some sentences in the report are garbled by scanning, though the conclusion that no deficiencies were cited is stated clearly in two separate places.

Call me before you call them. Once you contact the community directly, they treat you as a walk-in — and I usually can't step in as your advocate anymore. Reach me first and you keep someone on your side for the whole search, free. There are a couple of things about this community I'd tell you on the phone that aren't on this page.
