Diversified Health Services Inc.

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

A very good possibility

Smaller group. one central room for community. Clean and nice.

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.

My mom is living at this community and she is getting the right care and safe in the facility. They have activities available for my mom and the residents. She likes the meals they make very much.

Beautiful, clean facility. Concert with a lot of interaction during our visit. No Spanish speaking residents. No availability. Did not care for Memory Care unit.

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.

Very quiet location and nice garden."Blended Living" Independent and Assisted are not separate. 80 units. Memory Care 15 residents $4900 to $6500 per month. Skilled Nursing close by. No Buy-in. $2000 application fee, refund prorated over 3 months. Only two 2 bedroom units. Month to month $6150 for 2 people. No oven, only 2 burner stove top, nice walk in closet. Very light and airy. All meals included, designated seating. Transportation within 10-12 miles. Parking free, but limited. Wi Fi spotty, suggest getting cable bundle. water and dryer on each floor. Small exercise room, some classes. No pool.

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.

I like the people. The facility is nice, undergoing renovation. Would be able to move through the place through hospice. Pilot program with kaiser.

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.

Abby is wonderful. Spent quite a while discussing my family's needs. The grounds and apartments are very nice. Amenities are also nice. The Alzheimer's section was also nice, but a little smelly (urine). We ultimately decided that my mom would be better off in a small board & care facility.

We are extremely pleased with the Gardens at Park Balboa. My mother who is 91, spent 14 days to determine if this was the right place for her. During the 14 days she became healthier, she walked better and she was happier. The guests are very friendly and the staff is friendly and you can see they enjoy their job. After the trial period we moved my mother into the Gardens at Park Balboa. She is thriving! She goes on trips, joins the excercise classes, plays bingo and attends many of the activities scheduled throughout the day. I highly recommend the Gardens at Park Balboa. We were lucky to see the ad on TV for A Place for Mom. They recommended several places and we chose The Gardens at Park Balboa.
