Response from The Iris
November 4, 2024Thank you Sharon for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that your mom is happy here and that you feel it’s a good place for her. We understand the importance of maintaining our facilities, and we’re committed to addressing any issues promptly. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we’re glad to have your family as part of our community.
It's ok but they have a lack of communication with the residence about maintenance or lack there of , When they do fix problems it's not done at 100% and just band-aided. They don't take into consideration that there are many residence that don't like salty or spicy foods and continually make food this way regardless. Everything is good but the lack of communication and maintenance needs help . The activities that they have are great . It's a clean facility, and friendly employees

My loved one had issues with their plumbing and heating . Dripping faucet and furnace that kept on running without kicking off . They have fixed the issues but it was very frustrating for my loved one . The community try's to keep my loved one in the loop of any events or special things going on on certain days . They have friendly staff.

May 27, 2022Thank you John for taking the time to rate and review the Iris Senior Living. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and it is a pleasure having you here with us!
If you have the money this is the best community in town for your loved one. They have activities like card games, games projects and more for the residents to do. The activities are really good and I like them.

February 4, 2022Dear Linda, thank you for taking the time to rate and review The Iris. Your feedback means the world to us and we appreciate the kind words. Thanks again!
I have been at Brookdale Great Falls for almost two months, and so far, it has ben great. I have really been enjoying my time here at the community, but I will say that it certainly is a different way of life for me. Overall, I feel I'm warming up to the place well, and I would definitely recommend the community to others.

It was a very nice community. We were shown an apartment that was small. It would have been a suitable place to eat and enjoy activities.

We walked in for our tour and Mom just knew this is where she wanted to live. We had lunch and met so many residents who just thought this was a wonderful place to live. Mom is very excited!

When it became clear that dad could no longer live alone, we toured senior living communities in both Great Falls and Helena, Montana. This was not an easy task as we wanted what was best for dad. From the moment we stepped foot into Cambridge Place, he was completely at home. The people were caring and loving and the atmosphere was lively. He spent almost 3 years there and always called it home. We cannot thank everyone there for the love they gave him. As dad's health deteriorated, we had to find a new home for him. He misses his family there very much (Gayle, Eric, Jim, Sonya, Diana and many many others). I would definitely recommend Cambridge Place.

A Place for Mom has scored The Iris 8.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
