    Great care, but payroll concerns

    I’m very happy with my experience — the homes are incredibly clean, the care is attentive and high-quality, and Ellen and Preston lead a fantastic, caring staff I’d gladly recommend. My only concern: I’ve noticed some unqualified workers and been told about payroll delays/owners not paying staff on time, with employees worried about retaliation.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the review summaries is strongly positive about the resident experience, cleanliness, and day-to-day caregiving at Enchanted Care Center - Spring Villa, but there are notable administrative and staffing concerns that recur in a subset of reviews. Multiple reviews explicitly praise the quality of care as great or amazing, and many single out staff as caring, attentive, exceptional, and fantastic. Several reviewers express high satisfaction and say they would recommend the community to others, indicating a strong level of confidence among residents and families about personal care and the environment.

    Facility and environment are also highlighted as strengths. Reviews describe the homes as looking great and the center as incredibly clean, suggesting that maintenance, housekeeping, and the physical presentation of the property are well managed. These positive comments about the physical environment reinforce the favorable impressions of daily living conditions and sanitation standards.

    Staffing is a mixed but largely positive theme. The majority of comments focus on outstanding caregivers and leadership, with several reviews naming leadership figures (Ellen and Preston) and describing them as superb. That kind of leadership praise, combined with repeated mentions of exceptional staff, points to a team that provides compassionate and attentive care. However, this strength is tempered by other reports that raise concerns about worker qualifications. A minority of reviews specifically mention unqualified workers, which introduces a conflicting signal: while many residents/families are highly satisfied, there are instances where staff competency is questioned. This could represent isolated incidents, variability between shifts or teams, or deeper training/hiring gaps that management may need to address.

    The most serious consistent concern across the summaries involves payroll and owner-level administrative practices. Multiple reviewers allege payroll or pay issues, including statements that owners are not paying workers on time. Those claims are coupled with expressed fears of retaliation when issues are raised. Even if these accounts come from a smaller number of summaries, they are operationally significant because payroll problems and fears of retaliation can directly harm staff morale, increase turnover, and ultimately erode care quality over time. The combination of alleged late pay and retaliation concerns suggests potential organizational risk that could destabilize otherwise strong caregiving performance if not resolved.

    Notably, the reviews do not provide specific commentary on dining options, social activities, programming, or medical services beyond general statements about care quality. That absence means there is insufficient evidence in these summaries to assess those areas; they were simply not a focus for reviewers. Given the strong emphasis on personal care, cleanliness, and leadership in the positive comments, prospective residents and families should still ask targeted questions about dining, activities, and clinical services during tours.

    In summary, Enchanted Care Center - Spring Villa receives robust praise for compassionate caregiving, cleanliness, attractive homes, and visible leadership. These are compelling strengths for prospective residents and families. At the same time, reviewers have raised meaningful administrative red flags — namely reports of unqualified staff in some cases, payroll and owner payment problems, and concerns about retaliation — that could affect staff stability and long-term service consistency. Prospective families should weigh the strong positive reports about daily care and leadership against the administrative complaints, and should directly inquire about staff hiring/training practices, turnover rates, payroll stability, and how management addresses employee concerns when evaluating the community.
