    Warm homelike facility; excellent care

    I moved my mom into their small six-resident house and I'm very pleased - the facility is beautiful, always clean, nicely decorated and homelike. The staff and owners are attentive, kind, and communicative; they listen to family needs and provide quality care with low turnover. Meals are excellent, the dining room and family room are comfortable, and there are stimulating activities and outings. Good value and a warm, welcoming community.

    Summary of reviews

    The Enclave elicits strongly mixed feedback. Positive comments emphasize the physical environment and small-house model: residents and families frequently note attractive, well-decorated, and clean homes with home-like dining rooms, family rooms off the kitchen, and a generally welcoming small-community atmosphere. The facility model (including six-resident houses) is described as supporting personalized attention, and several reviewers praised the owners for being responsive and involved, especially during difficult family situations.

    Care quality and staffing present a divided picture. Many reviews describe attentive, kind staff who listen to resident and family needs and provide quality care; some homes are reported to have low staff turnover and consistent caregiving. Conversely, other reviews identify operational problems: inconsistent staff conduct and professionalism, favoritism or unequal treatment of residents, and instances where staff appear more attentive when family members are present. There are also concerns that some employees are overburdened and that new or undertrained staff are covering shifts, which may reflect varying staffing stability between houses.

    Dining and activities are recurring strengths in the positive accounts. Meals are often described as very good and served on time, with an attractive, home-like dining setup. Reviewers also mention stimulating activities and organized outings, which contribute to resident engagement and a positive daily routine.

    Management and operational issues are a notable source of negative feedback. Several reviewers reported gaps in scheduling and staffing management — promised hours or days of care not being delivered — and poor communication between management, staff, and families. These operational weaknesses appear to be a primary driver of dissatisfaction where it occurs, and they are tied in some accounts to turnover and compensation pressures.

    Overall, The Enclave offers many of the attributes families seek in a small residential model: clean, well-appointed homes, good food, and a personable ownership style. However, there is variability across homes in staffing stability, scheduling reliability, and staff conduct. Prospective residents and families would be advised to tour specific homes during mealtimes, observe staff–resident interactions, request written staffing ratios and care-hour commitments, and ask about turnover and staff training to assess which individual house aligns with their expectations for consistent care and communication.

    About The Enclave

    The Enclave is a senior care home with space for up to 6 residents at a time, offering personalized and affectionate assisted living in an upscale setting with over 3,000 square feet of accessible open space, and the staff really work hard to deliver individualized care, whether someone needs help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medication management, or more specialized support for memory issues like Alzheimer's and dementia, and they've got a lot of staff training in dementia care so each person gets their own treatment plan that helps them feel dignified, independent, and respected. You'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can chat or relax, and the home has features like accessible showers, private rooms, and resident parking, plus easy access to public transport which is handy for outings or visits. There's 24/7 care and support, an emergency response system for peace of mind, and meals are prepared with quality ingredients, including options for vegetarian and kosher diets if needed, and then there are chef-inspired menus, which is a nice touch, and everything's kept clean with regular housekeeping. You'll also see a lot of activities-exercise, gardening, art, book clubs, and knitting-to keep everyone social and busy, and there are devotional activities both on and off-site, intergenerational programs, senior wellness classes, and monthly cultured outings, so people don't just sit around and do nothing all day. Staff speak both English and Spanish, and encourage mental and social engagement for every resident, and The Enclave holds to a family care home model that allows each resident to feel like part of a small, close-knit group, and everything from mental and social care to nutritional and physical support gets attention. They take special pride in supporting seniors with different care needs, whether someone's there for respite care on a short-term stay or for a longer period, and transportation for errands or trips is arranged when needed, parking's available, and the building makes security a focus with controlled entry, so families can feel comfortable knowing their loved ones are safe. The Enclave operates homes in Durham and Clayton, North Carolina, with connections to places like the Flowers Plantation area and also has a presence in Raleigh, so families in eastern North Carolina have several options to consider, and funding can come from month-to-month leases, private funds, or long-term care insurance, so there's some flexibility for different situations. The staff at The Enclave keep residents active and included, with life enrichment programs and regular activities that are really meant to make each day meaningful, and memory care residents get special support suited to their own needs and interests. The community works to create days that are both structured and enjoyable, giving residents chances to keep learning, socializing, and enjoying themselves in a safe, friendly space. The Enclave uses professional, multilingual staff, has medication administration and wellness programs, and sticks to a model that supports dignity, independence, and self-direction for each person who lives there.

    No, The Enclave does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
