The reviews for The Iris and Gibson Creek facilities present a mixed picture. Positive aspects include friendly and caring staff, a clean and well-maintained environment, and engaging activities for residents. The facilities offer amenities like a beauty shop, pet programs, and field trips, which are appreciated by residents and their families. Some reviewers highlight the excellent care provided, especially during emergencies, and the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, there are significant concerns about understaffing, high staff turnover, and lack of communication, which affect the quality of care. Many reviewers mention issues with misplaced personal belongings, inconsistent activities, and poor laundry services. The cleanliness of residents' rooms is often criticized, with reports of unclean conditions and inadequate response to hygiene needs. The food quality is another common complaint, with some describing it as subpar and poorly prepared. Pricing is a contentious issue, with some feeling that the cost is high for the level of care provided. There are also frustrations with billing and insurance paperwork, as well as unexpected price increases. The transition to new management has caused communication gaps and inconsistencies in care. Despite these challenges, some families appreciate the facilities' efforts to keep them updated with photos and reports, especially when living far away. Overall, while the facilities have potential, improvements in staffing, communication, and service consistency are needed to enhance the resident experience.

The is a really nice facility! It's a smaller builder which makes it feel like home. The care staff are very friendly, helpful and respectful towards the residents. They are also quick to respond to the residents requests and go above and beyond to provide great service. The kitchen cooks up yummy, fresh, home made style food each day and the servers provide prompt service. The activities are fun and keep the residents active and social!

The care that we’ve received here is really great and hands on. Even the managers that are not a part of the caregivers are so friendly and involved with the seniors. My dad is always happy when I visit him. The food is good and we love that it’s a smaller facility. It’s feel really homey. Highly recommend.
