PositiveReview for Acclaim at East Beach Independent Living
Acclaim at East Beach is a place that I was looking for when I was considering Independent Living facilities. I'm content living here and I'm becoming more familiar with the area. I've made several friends at Acclaim and I play golf, and sail with one of our resident's son-in-law. I take the opportunity to work out with others here in the gym at our facility.
