A Message from Our Executive Director Faye Ellrott
Life at our community is tailored to the interests and desires of our residents. Here, seniors can live comfortably while taking advantage of opportunities they may not have had while staying at home alone. We take care of the cooking; we take care of the cleaning; we take care of the driving - that way, our residents can focus on doing what they love and choosing what they want to explore next. Welcome to a lifestyle that's full of possibilities. Welcome home.
And we’ll respond accordingly. After all, it’s insights from people like you that help us continue to improve the Atria experience for our residents, their families, our staff and those connected to our communities.
Thank you for sharing. Don’t forget to rate us by clicking the stars below!

I try to attend most Family nights at Atria and I always look forward to the events. Debbie and staff always put together fun themes for the evenings. The entertainment, food and decorations are always so nice. Last evening we especially enjoyed the visit from Cocky (USC mascot) and the cheerleaders from Benedit College. My Aunt Mickie loves Inviting her family to attend. Thank you for all you do to make the residents happy!

During my five months of living at Atria Forest Lake, I have found the staff to be very friendly, accommodating, helpful and concerned for the welfare of the residents. Social engagement is encouraged with opportunities to participate in a wide variety of stimulating activities. The location is ideal considering its proximity to fine restaurants (for periodic excursions), shops of all types, lovely residential neighborhoods and churches. The style of the building itself has great charm, warmth, and gratefully, only two floors and no extremely long halls. There are attractive seating areas throughout and lovely landscaping which enhances the knoll on which it rests. One begins to feel a part of a larger family of friends.

Atria Forest Lake has a number of wonderful staff. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that each resident gets personalized care and attention. It may be a smaller Atria, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in personal care.

Questions/Comments Anna is the first person to greet you each time you enter Atria Forest Lake Senior Living. Anna is the center's secretary, receptionist and go-to person. She is an asset to the organization. She is always professional, as is everyone else working at this location. I rate this Atria 5-stars.
