I am very impressed with the level of care my mom is receiving at this rehabilitation center. From her daily care and meals to her overall routine, everything has been handled with professionalism and compassion. The PT and OT teams are truly on it and very attentive to her progress. I also want to highlight the case manager, Brenda, who was extremely helpful and provided me with valuable resources to help my mom continue to advance in her care. I highly recommend the Balboa facility and am grateful for the care and support my mom has received.

I was a patient at Balboa Nursing Facility for over a month and have absolutely NO complaints. Housekeeping is excellent. The laundry care is awesome. The cafeteria did the best they could to accommodate everyone, and I enjoyed the meals. The care I received there was of the highest level and the staff always made sure I was comfortable and that my needs were met. Always cheerful, and often, I was comforted by the sound of laughter. I'm lousy with names, but everyone on the 4th and 3rd floor were great. The social service folks were attentive and caring. Physical therapy knew what they were doing and got me back on stable feet. Occupational therapy made sure I know what to do to get back to doing everyday things. If you or a family member need care after an accident like me, this is where you want to go in San Diego. My better half had to go to a couple of rehab facilities and none of them compare to Balboa Nursing and Rehab. Clean, comfortable, and most importantly kindness. Hospital level care. The more I put into it, the more encouragement I received. Thank you, everyone at Balboa. You guys are awesome!!

The staff & care provided to my 92-year old mother-in-law after hospitalization from a fall & fractures was wonderful. PT & OT staff were knowledgeable, patient & kind. Nutritionist tried to accommodate her likes & dislikes. Social workers were always around to answer questions. Nurses & CNA’s did their best to meet her needs in a timely manner!

My best friend is in this facility for rehabilitation because she broke her shoulder. I can tell you why they are so busy and unable to answer the phone, because they are giving people in their care top quality attention. I saw staff actually caring about their patients and how they are doing. This is a great facility and I'm glad my best friend is being cared for by them.

Care for a family member always met and often exceeded my expectations. Staff were always attentive, kind and thoughtful to patient and visitors- even when it was not obvious that loved ones were paying attention. In other words, staff were “caught being good and kind.” There were follow up phone calls to family members to answer questions, text alerts sent out when there were cases of COVID or other contagious illnesses, and always decorations for every holiday, even minor ones, with fun and related holiday activities for the patients. In our particular case, staff paid careful, ongoing attention to caring for a large and challenging wound, as well as dispensed the appropriate and on-schedule psychotropic and other meds. Front desk staff were polite, and there was always coffee and tea in the lobby. We’ve experienced the worst of care facilities, truly horror shows that should not be allowed to exist. Given my experience, a family would be fortunate to have a loved one at Balboa Rehabilitation Center - a five star care facility.
