Mom is Happy At The Gardens
reviewed on: 11/14/2013 by DaughterFrom my mom's stand point she'd say it's a good value. My mom loves it. They do have activities. I couldn't tell you all of them but I know she plays the bingo that they offer. I think she's going to join their residents' committee to. The only thing I would say for an improvement is I've notice that the sliding doors to the rooms, to me, seem like they were installed backwards. Maybe they have a reason for doing it that way. They are doing their best accommodating my mom for security purposes. My mom loves it. She's so happy there!
Sincere people and they try very hard at what they do
reviewed on: 09/12/2015 by AnonymousDefinitely 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.
Very Flexible
reviewed on: 08/05/2015 by AnonymousThe 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.
Warm and inviting
reviewed on: 11/07/2017 by AnonymousThis facility exceeds my expectations. Shirley has been phenomenal in helping us. They have been really nice and friendly. Everyone here is just so warm and inviting. When we toured, they had rooms available on the spot for us to pick out. When my Father moved in, I was on vacation, and he got really sick. The facility brought him to the hospital and back home. When I said I was going to come back home to see him, they said there was no need that they were taking care of him and they would call if anything changed. They have his genuine interest in mind. For activities, they have arts and crafts, movies, they take them to Walmart, and to the casino. This is just a great facility and I really recommend it.
Nice place, overall!
reviewed on: 04/09/2015 by AnonymousMy 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.
