Community Reviews
Wonderful staff and layout
reviewed on: 09/04/2013 by LoriEverything's going fine, they're really great and it's working out really well. I mean, my parents have complaints but I'm thrilled with them. So far it's been really clean, I haven't seen any problems with it, that was one of the things I liked about it, it's kind of built like an old school california hotel, everythings outside so there's none of that hallway smell. The staff is one of the main things that sold me on this place, they have a ton of heart. I think the activities are good, my parents are having a harder time getting to them cause my dad's handicapped a little bit, its hard sometimes for him to get around but its more just the psychologically getting to places thats hard. The staff does try to get everyone up and going so id say that theyre doing their job, my parents just aren't doing theirs. This is the first place we've been to and hopefully itll be the last!
Check them out

Good Community
reviewed on: 08/09/2013 by AnonymousJust wasn't right for our loved one. We would like to see a better care giver to resident ratio. The community and the staff did a good job and took care of our loved one. They were friendly and helpful and we would recommend them to anyone.

reviewed on: 12/25/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerMy parents very much enjoyed the visit at this complex. We toured 4 apartments and had a great lunch. The Director is a wonderful person and my father was very impressed with her as well as the staff. I really think that her and her winning personality "sold" the Gardens at Park Balboa to my father. The facilities are dated, but everyone was so friendly including the residents that my father has decided to put down a deposit to secure an apartment. My mother is having so much difficulty navigating the stairs to their current apartment that my father wants to move as soon as possible.
Doing good
reviewed on: 08/29/2016 by T.I.Moved my mom in recently as she is no longer to be safely on her own. She is having her moments and wants to go back to her "old life" but overall she seems to be doing well. The staff is great always friendly have a smile on their face. Her first event was the Luau and she loved it. She even met a woman who's husband she used to work with 50 + years ago! GAPB has given me a peace of mind that I haven't had in months. I realized I was running myself into the ground. I am so lucky to have had the help of Michelle from A Place for Mom and the ladies at GAPB Klara and Vickie. Thank you all so much
