CLEARLY you had a Karen , legally known as Michelle sitting at the front welcome desk today BUT there was nothing welcoming about her! My family and I have been visiting my mom, my kids grandma there for years now and NEVER has anyone taken issue with our getting a cup of water as we EXIT !! Today at approximately 3 pm we got water as we were leaving AND Michelle says loudly “ Alrighty then AS IF SHE HAD a problem with black peopke getting a cup of water ! She was the most rude/racist individual that we’ve ever run into at that front desk and if you’re going to have ppl like her REPRESENTING Acclaim at East Beach then I’m going to tell my brother who’s a Doctor to STOP referring his patients loved ones to this place !!!

My family and I had a very disappointing experience with the receptionist, Michelle. As we were leaving and stopped to get some water from the lobby, she looked at us, shook her head, and said “alrighty then” in a dismissive tone. Her demeanor made it seem as though guests were not welcome to use the water, and the way she acted came across as unprofessional and potentially discriminatory.<br><br>Someone with that attitude should not be working as a receptionist, let alone in a place that serves seniors who deserve kindness and respect.
