Sharp Memorial Hospital and Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego are also nearby, ensuring excellent continuity of care for medically complex residents. Pacs Group brings operational discipline and a genuine commitment to resident dignity to every community they manage. At Balboa Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, this translates to compassionate nursing staff, robust physical and occupational therapy programs, and clear, consistent communication with families throughout the care journey.
