Our Team

Janell Dunn

Executive Director

Janell comes to us with eight years of experience in senior living. She has a degree in social services and has had the opportunity to be a Life Enrichment Director and for the last six years an Executive Director. She loves the residents, associates, and families and doesn’t see herself doing anything else. Janell loves to travel with her husband, spending time with her two sons, and watching movies. Her youngest son just graduated high school this year and her oldest son graduated last year. Janell’s grandmother had Alzheimer’s and her mom passed away in 2011 from cancer. Janell’s mom was her best friend, and she misses her every day. She feels that going through these life events, it has made her more understanding of people’s situations and pain which makes her more empathetic to their circumstances. Janell values the relationships that she has made in the senior living industry and is super excited to be a part of the Atlas family.

Barbie Walmer

Business Office Manager

Barbie is a Florida native who grew up most of her life in West Orange County. She graduated from Seminole State College. When she started her first job in the senior living facilities it was just a job until she figured out what she wanted to do. It was not long after that she developed a passion for helping seniors. She says she really cannot see herself anywhere else. “This is my family.” Barbie has four children — three girls and one boy. In her free time, she enjoys playing pool, spending time with her family, and going to the beach. “I can’t explain the joy It brings me when I see my residents and families happy.”

Outside of work, Sharon is supported by her wonderful husband of 23 years and has three very busy children, ages 16, 18, and 26. Life is full of college tours, wedding planning, and soccer tournaments, but Sharon wouldn’t have it any other way! When she is not planning events, you’ll find her on the road as a soccer mom, getting crafty, or soaking up the outdoors.
