Our Life with Mom at Iris House

When mom first moved in there were staffing issues. It took a full month to get them settled. During that time daily jobs such as trash, bedding, toilet cleaning, and wash did not get done so I had to step in for mom's room care. There were no problems with meds except for not always getting them in a timely manner. There were issues such as a broken shower head, air vent problems, tv issues, and yard work that I had to address with the owner, [name removed]. He took care of them immediately.

Non welcoming experience. The home feels like they are in it for the money. Assertive and not where we will be placing mom.

Our experience

The staff is very caring and careful. The phone system is troublesome sometimes. No one answers and no return call in a timely manner.

Very satisfying.

It was homey, small and quiet, had a room with a big window for Mom to look out and a nice view out the back. Most staff is foreign so sometimes hard to understand. Very caring though.

Mom liked it there

The staff was for the most part very good to my mom. I chose that facility because of the 24 hour awake staff and it was close to where I live. There was an employee that started towards the end of Moms life that didn't speak very good English so was hard for her to understand. Other than that she was happy there and liked the other tenants.

I would highly recommend this place. Staff is very good and encouraging

Staff and house owner are friendly and caring. I think they need to provide more activities such as walking or other exercises.
