Atria Forest Lake was a very nice, established facility that's been there for a while. They recently upgraded it. They had very nice grounds and plenty of room. We saw the dining room and the menus, which were fine. There was very little separation between the independent and the assisted living and while the apartment we viewed was excellent, the public restroom that I had to use could've used cleaning. It was smelly with urine on the floor. The part that really turned me off was they gave us one price when we came in and when they found out we were in the process of selling our house, the price suddenly went up by $1,000 a month. They were beautiful on the outside but not nearly so beautiful on the inside. They had a courtyard, a very small exercise room, and a library. The staff was nice, but I didn't get a really good vibe from them. The actual apartment was really nice, in good shape, and very clean, but the public areas could've used some more care, especially the restrooms.

Atria Forest Lake was pretty much a clean facility. The employees were friendly. However, the distance was not conducive to my schedule. I didn't want to put my sister there because I wouldn't have a lot of time to visit her or check on her there. The accommodations were really good. They were more on the same feel as the other facility as far as the way the apartment looked like. They had several different sizes. Their dining hall was accommodating. It was restaurant style.

We're very pleased with Atria. We have a smaller room, but it certainly meets all of my father's needs. The staff has been very helpful. It helped the family to feel like a part of their family. They offer a lot of activities, like exercises, programs, seasonal activities, games, and movies. I eat there at least once a week. The setting is lovely, and the food is good. The dining room is very nice and comfortable. I was most taken with the nice surroundings and the location. They're very attentive, friendly, and helpful.

I was very impressed with Atria Forest Lake. I thought the staff was great and very encouraging. The rooms were really good and I liked the whole atmosphere. It would certainly be on top of my list, if they hadn't been quite so expensive.

Atria is beautiful! When you think of assisted living, you tend to think of something similar to a prison! They have a different floor plans (granny got to choose the style that would work best for her), amazing food, you are allowed to have dogs (perfect for my granny cos she loves her dog!), an emergency call system (also perfect for my granny just in case she needs someone) and help if she needs it. The staff are amazing! They seem to really care for her like she is their grandma! That's really important because you know nowadays, people are taking advantage of the elderly! :( Atria just feels like home!
