    About The Gardens At Park Balboa

    The Gardens At Park Balboa is a distinguished assisted living community nestled in Van Nuys, CA, serving seniors in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. With a legacy that spans over fifteen years, the community has established itself as an innovative leader in both Independent and Assisted Living, offering thoughtfully tailored support to meet the evolving needs of each resident. The personalized approach to care ensures that every individual receives adaptive, ongoing assistance, promoting comfort, independence, and well-being within a welcoming residential setting.

    One of the signature features at The Gardens At Park Balboa is the Safe Haven HAPPINESS Program. This distinctive initiative is expertly crafted to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The program blends the science of medicine with the art of compassionate human interaction, addressing the unique needs of residents in a secure and structured environment. By doing so, it provides families with peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are supported with dignity and sensitivity.

    Understanding that circumstances sometimes require short-term stays, The Gardens At Park Balboa offers a dedicated Respite Program. This program allows seniors to make the most of community life for a period of up to 30 days, whether the need arises from a caregiver’s temporary absence, the desire to experience the community before making a long-term commitment, or the requirement for extra care during recovery from an illness, injury, or surgery. Residents participating in the Respite Program receive attentive support with daily living activities, ensuring continuity of care and social engagement.

    Additionally, The Gardens At Park Balboa supports seniors who are not yet ready for full-time community living through a specialized day program. This unique offering provides enriching socialization and engaging programming in a safe, nurturing setting designed for those who may benefit from added structure and companionship throughout the day. The commitment to each resident’s unique journey is evident in every aspect of life at The Gardens, from the customized care plans to the diverse array of programs and services available. Ultimately, The Gardens At Park Balboa strives to create a true home for its residents, where new friendships and a sense of belonging thrive alongside exemplary care.
