The Gardens at Park Balboa offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care in a single setting, allowing residents to move between support levels without changing communities. Short-term respite stays are available for families who need temporary help, and diabetes management is in place for residents who require daily monitoring. Licensed nurses and an on-site physician guide care plans, while the secured campus design helps protect individuals who may wander, an essential feature for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments.
Additional medical resources are delivered on site, so residents rarely need to travel for routine appointments. Services include visits from an optometrist, dentist, podiatrist, hospice team, and a range of rehabilitation specialists such as physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Medication management, incontinence support, ambulatory care, and coordinated end-of-life care are all available. The community is built specifically for memory loss, with dedicated spaces and staff training that focus on consistent routines, visual cues, and minimized overstimulation.
Apartments come in multiple floor plans and may include kitchenettes, private decks or patios, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Some suites are pet friendly, and other layouts prioritize extra living space or outdoor access. Because features vary by apartment, not all living quarters offer every amenity listed. Housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry are provided, and parking is available for residents who still drive.
Dining is overseen by a professional chef who offers restaurant-style service with all-day dining hours. Menus feature standard, vegetarian, kosher, and organic choices, and guest meals can be arranged with notice. Residents who prefer lighter fare can find snacks on demand, while those with therapeutic diets receive meals planned in coordination with clinical staff. The culinary team works closely with caregivers to track nutrition for individuals with diabetes or other dietary restrictions.
Daily life is supplemented by an activity center, fitness and chair-yoga classes, live music, karaoke, birthday parties, dances, happy hours, and regular social outings. Residents can take part in Montessori-based and reminiscence programs, sensory sessions, and intergenerational events. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, swimming pool access, a library and computer lounge, clubs, and other interest groups encourage movement and engagement. Fitness programs are scheduled throughout the week, and the secured outdoor areas allow safe time outside for Memory Care residents.
