Community Reviews
Very active community
reviewed on: 04/01/2014 by L UWe toured this location when we were looking into care options for my loved one. The residents here all seemed very happy, and extremely active. When I visited I saw all sorts of people walking around interacting, there was a band playing, and a (very competitive!) bingo game going. I wasn't as impressed with the aesthetics of the place, the inside seemed shabby and worn down, and the carpets were in need of replacement. And, although the rooms were very spacious, they also just seemed worn down and gloomy.
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!
My review of The Gardens at Park Balboa
reviewed on: 10/06/2021 by helen oMy name is [name removed] and I'm fairly new to The Gardens. So far I had a good taste of the community, the staff is very good. [name removed] the buisness office director and the marketing director [name removed] are very friendly. The community is very quiet, and some activities are fun. (except bingo im not a fan) But the painting class is good.
Great memory care
reviewed on: 03/12/2014 by B IMy loved one has only been here a brief time, but thus far the experience has been wonderful. The aides and care staff are very attentive, and take great care of him. They seem very familiar with the sorts of issues that come up when dealing with memory care patients, and handle everything very well. I'm a fan of the layout of the facility, it is an enclosed secure facility, but it has places to walk and outside courtyard areas to get fresh air in. He's settling in very well here, he's already met a few people, and he's been participating in a few of the activities. On top of all of this, this was one of the least expensive memory care communites that I saw! This place is definitely worth a look.
