My dear friend has been a resident of Iris Senior Living for the past 32 months. I visit two or three times a week and eat there at least once a week. The facility is clean, well maintained, with no unpleasant odors and has adequate staff on duty at all times. The staff in spite of normal turnover always seem to be suited to work with the elderly. They are consistently cheerful and prompt to accommodate the needs of the residents.The meal selections are varied and well prepared. There is a variety of activities both in house and out daily for residents to attend. There never is a problem if residents need transportation to medical or other appointments. Staff are available to transport either by scheduling ahead or for short notice if necessary. Medical emergencies are handled in a timely fashion and confidentiality is maintained with respect to all residents. Several times a year there are special events that residents can invite friends and family to attend. There never seems to be an issue with noise.....it is relaxing and busy feeling but not overstimulating. The grounds are kept well and snow and ice removed in a timely fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to anyone interested in Senior Living.

The Iris is outstanding. Everything from the employees to the building itself meets all our needs. We couldn’t ask for a more caring, compassionate, helpful and social place for our mom to be. My husband describes the Iris as a cruise ship. So many activities are available, if you’re bored it’s your own fault. You’re fed delicious food, and can go back to you comfortable ‘cabin’ when you want peace and quiet.🙂🙂
Mom and Dad have been here almost a year now. We love knowing they are closer to us. They like the independent living with the perks of housekeeping, cooking and activities all being taken care of. Highly recommend for your seniors who need more than home alone but no assistance. Staff makes sure to greet everyone by name and family is encouraged to hang out with and eat with them anytime. They go all out for holiday parties for residents and families. Each apartment is different and can be individualized to make it “home”. There is exercise equipment on every floor as well as puzzles which seem to be a hit. Visiting family can stay in a guest apartment with all the amenities needed for a very low cost.
I feel this is the best independent senior living facility in Great Falls. As soon as we had our tour of the place, we knew this is where we want them to live out their life. I have my parents there now and they love it. The staff is so friendly, helpful and they always encourage the families to be with their loved ones, even for a free meal anytime. They have lots of activities for them to keep busy and to enjoy, as well as lots of bus adventures outside the Iris. I can not say enough about how great the staff has been and willing to bend over backwards to help in anyway they can.
The decision to place my parents in an assisted living facility was difficult all on its own. Finding one I trusted and felt comfortable with my parents residing in seemed like an impossible feat. A relative recommended Iris because her mother resided there and she appreciated the positive experience. I could not be happier with my decision to entrust them with my parents care when I'm not available. It's hard to find a place capable of relaying the love and gratitude we want to show our parents in their older years, but Iris has done well to relieve some of the worry and emotional stresses when it comes to the well-being of my parents. When my father was placed in the hospital overnight and my dog, Louie, stayed and sat with my mom in their apartment, Todd was an amazing help and a friendly face. He helped with taking Louie outside and has always done his best to lend a helping hand and leave everyone with a smile. Iris is a really good facility and the gratitude I feel is more than I can relay in this review.
