“Living in Florida has made it extremely difficult to help my brother who lives alone in San Diego. Thanks to the help that he has received from the staff at Balboa he is finally able to walk without assistance. Our family is extremely grateful to all the professionals at Balboa for their care, skill, and professionalism.”

“If you need to go to skilled nursing and rehab, this is the place to go. The daytime charge nurse Oscar often made me laugh without even realizing. The therapists were all truly helpful in preparing me for going home. Thank you for going out of your way; you truly are a treasure.”
