Get directionsI still uphold my rating on this nursing home. They have been great people to my mom while she was alive.
This facility is one of the good ones out there. I say that because the rehab staff is very professional and caring. However, the nursing side is not so good. The food is mediocre. Mistakes are made regarding medications and treatments (unfortunately, some dangerous). By and large, the call lights don't help much as response time is minimal. Everything is always referred to the doctor in charge (who never answers the phone). So why the 3rd star? As I mentioned, the rehab staff is really good!
My father was discharged from Balboa today, having spent nearly seven weeks on the 4th floor -- after badly breaking his leg, he has gone from bedridden to walking about at home with a walker, thanks to the excellent care he received.

I opted for a rehab center because of daily physical therapy, but in my mom's case, all it co... read more
Cannot say enough good things about this facility. Top notch place and all employees are very nice and very professional Ten stars for all.
My neighbor moved here over two years ago and she loves this place, when she first arrived she was in poor health and didn't speak too much but over the course of time and the care she has received while living there, she has become healthier and more active and engages in conversation much more then she did before. She loves the staff here and remembers their names and is so appreciative of their sincere concern for her as a person rather than just a patient. Thank you to all the staff who work there, every time I come to v... read more
The nurses don't really do much they go I'll grab a CNA... So That's annoying .... It doesn't smell like other places which is good. It's just heartbreaking leaving my gram here. It's one of the better nursing homes I've visited. They listen to us and her
June 2 I was omitted to Mercy Hospital for extensive foot surgery for 3 days, and then off to Balboa Skilled Nursing for 10 days. I cannot express enough gratitude to all the staff! I would be naming everyone! My care was 5 STAR PLUS from everyone at Balboa. I will always look back with fond memories and much appreciation. All the staff are assets to Balboa skilled Nursing and Rehab Center. All the best, Mary Cady
