Acclaim at East Beach

I have lived here for three years. The staff is great. Amenities are over the top. Feels like just got home for first time every day. The view is amazing. 24/7 concierge.

My mom moved into Acclaim at East Beach. It's one of the newer places. It's in the East Beach area, Norfolk. And she has a view of the Marina and the naval base, which is nice. The people who work there are awesome. There's also a restaurant there. People who live there could get on a meal plan and just eat there when they want to, a couple of meals a day. They have so many activities to choose from. There's something for everybody there. What they do provide is a continental breakfast every morning. So my mom goes down for coffee and you can get like fruit and croissants and stuff like that. But the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and you can get on a meal plan, so you don't have to cook. Each room has its own kitchen. But you can make up your mind if you want to do the meal plan or just cook yourself.

My tour experience with Acclaim at East Beach was good. The size of the apartment was good, and the windows looked out onto a courtyard. They also had a breakfast bar downstairs. It reminded me more of hotel living, where they had a formal dining room set up with linens and china. It was nice. They had a gym, where they could go on the treadmill and bike. The staff we met were nice.

I enjoyed my tour at Acclaim at East Beach. I got to see the different apartments. There was one resident there, and she said, 'I think I'm 90. I was born in 1936,' but she was very lively. We ate dinner that night and there were a lot of residents, but they were not as friendly as at the other place. I interacted with a couple of staff members. Teresa was awesome, but their concierge would only talk when you ask her a question. The facility itself was awesome, but they didn't have a lot of activities going on. My understanding is that a lot of the residents there needed assisted living, so they didn't have a lot of activities going on. They had four activities every day, and they were the same four activities. So I wasn't as hyped about it as I was with the other place.

We are choosing Acclaim at East Beach for mom. It's a very active community. It's brand new, so everything is up to code. The apartment is beautiful, and the people are really friendly, both the staff and the residents. The menu looks wonderful, but I have not tried the food. They have classes all the time, classes in arts and different books. There were people doing puzzles, playing bingo, and going on trips. They take them to the movies and the theater. They have shuttles to take the residents to the grocery store and doctor's appointments. The staff was very friendly. The apartment mom is moving into has never been occupied before.

I will be moving to Acclaim at East Beach. It was home-like, I felt at home when I walked in. It's a newer facility and it's beautifully appointed. The people are just gregarious or outgoing, and very friendly, and the residents are friendly and very happy. They have a monthly charge for meals ranging from $200 to $600 a month. They're pet-friendly and they also have a dog-watching spa. In terms of amenities, they've got an indoor saltwater pool, and a gym and they have many activity rooms for puzzles or crafting. Since it's a new facility, I'll be the first person living in my apartment. I've been in twice for lunch and I am more than happy with it. As far as I'm concerned, the portions are a little on the large side, but that's beside the part.
