reviewed on: 12/28/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerThis facility is nice. Will take mom to see when she arrives. Mom wasn't real keen on this community. Felt like a hotel.
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

Gardens At Park Balboa is a nice place!
reviewed on: 06/06/2016 by AnonymousThe 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.

reviewed on: 10/11/2013 by A Place For Mom Customerthe guests there seem very happy and the staff is friendly and upbeat. The building is in a noisy neighborhood but has a nice courtyard. I really liked Abby. She was super helpful with giving tips on how to deal with dementia and the transition to a new place.
