Review for Acclaim at East Beach Independent Living

Acclaim EB community is clean & comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food is on the high side of mediocracy. We find the residents are warm and friendly. [name removed] is finding the transition to be difficult. From what little I know, this is normal for her stage of Alzheimer's. The staff has been kind and helpful to us.

The studio apartments are too small. The blinds are cheap and do not work very well. Maintenance is slow to respond. The floors are uneven.

Hands down, the staff is personable, helpful, and very hands-on! The apartment is a very adequate size and they are very happy with it and keep saying that it is all they need. My parents love it so far!

Highly Recommend

The entire staff members are above a 5. They are very friendly and helpful to all the residents! The sizes of the apartment determines how much space you have. If you only need a one bedroom apartment and prepare for the size by downsizing beforehand, I would say that they are adequate. I am surprised by the amenities offered. Also the food offered is very good.

Definitely worth a look

I would have to give each category a 5+. It is bright and cherry inside on the exterior is lovely as well with plenty of parking. Everybody is very friendly, even if they don't know you and you don't know them there's always a."hi." Of course it's a bit of an adjustment coming from a three bedroom condo to a one bedroom apartment, but I also found it was a great time to purge items I hadn't used for years. Why did I keep them?! You didn't ask, but there is a housekeeping service available if you so desire, extra from the rent. There's also a trash shoot on every floor easily accessible. And to top it off happy hour every afternoon and Fridays there are free drinks, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic, as well as entertainment We introduce ourselves and we laugh about forgetting names and then we start over again! Quality of care: this place is not about caregiving. However, the entire staff goes out of their way to be helpful if anyone is in need. It is spotlessly clean all the time. Administrative staff is friendly and helpful and always accessible without appointments necessary. Everyone has been supportive of me, having just moved in in October and still learning the ropes and having boxes to unpack. They all say, "oh it'll just take you some time be patient. You'll get there." Activities are plentiful if one so desires or if you feel like being in your apartment for the day, that's OK too. There's a library of books. There's always a jigsaw puzzle waiting to be completed. A weekly and monthly calendar come out and we simply sign up for what we are interested in at the front desk. The food is outstanding. You can get as much or as little as you want and again if you weren't want company for dinner, you go to the dining room and if you want to cook for yourself, you do so. Kitchen is quite adequatefor one. Depending on the location of the apartment views are spectacular. I have enjoyed having the deck outside my living room. And at this time of year, there are Christmas lights and decorations all over everywhere inside and out, very festive. I seem to have gone on and on. But I wanted to mention there is a physical therapist on staff always open with a doctors order. I intend to partake of that as soon as my doctor order has been completed. There is a very lovely workout room and also an indoor pool.

The staff at Acclaim at East Beach makes family feel welcome. The move in process was a bit rocky, but has improved. You pay extra for housekeeping, but its worth it. The food is okay. The menu doesn't change much, great fish tacos and a Cobb salad to die for. We would highly recommend Acclaim at East Beach to others.
