Friendly Staff

Everyone was very nice and helpful! The man at the desk was wonderful. I think he mostly works nights. The financial lady was very helpful. The medication man was great. Really everyone I dealt with was great. My cousin wanted to be miserable, complained about everything, refused to make friends or participate in any activities. I feel really sad that she would not try.

Review for Forest Lake Manor

It was a good place but my husband just doesn't want assisted living situation. I did get the impression that women were generally more satisfied than men. Food was so so. Most of staff was decent; a couple did a lot of sitting. The director was not there many times when I tried to see her, but I think there's been another change

Staff is nice, office not as helpful with paperwork, insurance as would like. Activities pretty nice. Not a diverse population of residents. Mostly white females… haven’t been happy with level of attention to cleaning units. Food mediocre. .

Trusting the professional and heart felt staff with your loved one.

When the time came for Mom to move to an assisted living facility I was torn, green and unsure of what exactly to do. A place for Mom was recommended by the nurse in charge of her short term home assistance. From that point the Atria was one of the rcommendations. The staff is incredibly helpful and made the experience smooth and we felt more than comfortable with her moving in. They have kept and exceeded those standards. They have a wide range of fullfilling Activities for the Residents. They have special guest come by, special Holiday functions and engage the relatives of those in their care.

Review for Atria Forest Lake

I was very pleased with the level of service, wide variety of activities, upkeep of the overall facility and the respite room, and attention to individual residents.The only drawback is that they do not accept vouchers from our county's caregiver respite program.

We have toured facilities, met staff, brought new resident into meet people, & we’ve signed lease.

Excellent staff- ALL. Clean friendly environment, & especially nice to prospective resident. Explained paperwork thoroughly, & seems very caring to residents. We are happy with our choice of Atria Forest Lake

They will make your experience smooth, and calm your soul

My loved one is currently a resident at Atria Forest Lake. We chose the Atria for many reasons. The staff is incredible and they truly care about the residents and their well being. It feels like your are "at home" there. The food is wonderful! The Chefs and staff are as caring as the rest of the people working there. They bring in support staff for entertainment, Bible study, and other activities. I would absolutely recommend the Atria Forest Lake to other families.

Friendly and Involved Staff

The staff at Atria Forest Lake is extremely friendly and involved, and the food is great. It does not feel like a nursing home. Small staff to patient ratio is a plus.

Friendly Staff

They are good at listening to concerns and finding solutions. We picked this community, because it was closer to where I lived, smaller than other facilites, and recommended by a lot of people at church. I would recommend to other families.

Review for Atria Forest Lake

Atria was nice but didn't have a protected front entrance and they did not specialize in memory care. It looked more like a locked mental facility. I'm a nurse so I've seen one. It was very depressing. The assisted living part looked great, and wasn't locked but we didn't need that.

Lots of personal attention!

My mother has been at the Atria for several years and it has been a great experience. It is a small facility and the staff all know my mother by name. They are always willing to try to accommodate special requests and tailor her care to her needs. Unfortunately my mother doesn’t participate in many activities but the staff is always coming up with ways to engage the residents.

I have found staff to be friendly, professional and caring above all else. The activities program, headed by [name removed] is fun, and is all in. She's fun, creative, always smiling, and is great at her job. [name removed] at the front desk is jack of all trades and master of all. She gets your questions answered and assists whenever she can. She's always pleasant and very professional. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for care for their loved one.

I absolutely love living at Atria. i was living alone during the start of the pandemic. Here it is wonderful to be around people, exercising and eating. Great back yard. Also, a group has gotten together and we play UNO. Great place.

Great resident engagement

As a provider that visits numerous assisted living facilities, Atria by far has the most activities and interaction with residents. The residents are treated with respect and encouraged to engage, not as individuals who are just there to live out their last days. As a provider I recommend Atria, and if I had family in need of an assisted living facility I would be happy to send them to Atria.
