I would tell others that the director here is very responsive to any concerns or issues you may have and seems to be very on top of things with her residents. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

My loved one requires a level of care that is higher than the general population, and sometimes it can be a challenge for the community. The residents that have low care levels seem happy here. They have activities for the residents to partake in. [Name removed] is an incredible person. My loved one loves it here. The food variety is good.

You have to have a negative test each week to visit, The communication could be better, They are good to let us know if there was an incident but if we call it to take way too long for them to respond.. They do have a newsletter they send out. The community has a nice vibe too. The community is very nice, and if everything was back to normal I would recommend this community to others

During the two weeks our loved one was there almost every single staff member we had encountered was absolutely wonderful. The food was very good, the place was very clean and overall a really nice facility.

It's like a hotel. Bright and airy. It is however, slightly above my budget... but do-able, maybe... still looking

This was my favorite so far. The people were so nice, the residents seemed happy. It was really clean, even though the outside of building was fairly old looking. I would like to discuss pricing with someone - the person giving us the tour didn't know anything about that.

I toured the Gardens while looking at living options for my mother. I did like it, and I thought it was a nice place, but it was more expensive than other places I looked, I ultimately liked some of the other places better. Comparatively, it seemed to me that while this was a nice community, more was offered at a better price elsewhere.

Love this place but out of our price range and not super costly compared to most but they are pretty non-negotiable. Medication management is an extra charge which is a major reason we need assisted living so counts this one out.

My mom is FINALLY on a schedule. Something that couldn't be accomplished at home. She and her quarters are always neat and clean when we visit at any hour of the day. She loves the food and her new roommate. The med staff is on point with her meds and the care staff is attentive.

The community is very clean and the grounds are nice. I would recommend this community. The only complaint I have is dealing with one person and the insurance paperwork. The staff is nice and helpful. The food is good and she likes to participate in the numerous outings offered.

Definitely a great place. They try really hard. Their efforts are very sincere. A well meaning group of folks there. They have room to improve but are working on these changes.

The staff at Gardens At Park Balboa are very accommodating and very flexible. If you need something a little different, they are always willing to work with you, so they are not rigid, which is helpful.

My loved one has only been here a short time, but overall I think things have gone well with Gardens at Park Balboa. The community is clean and well kept, and for the most part the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They've also got a good variety of activities and events to keep the residents entertained. However, I do wish they'd be a little more involved in getting the residents to participate, I'd like my loved one to join in more but it isn't the sort of thing she'd go and do on her own.
