Iling-Junior is on-loan at West Brom for the season from Villa.
He told the Express & Star: "They are in touch, and they keep checking.
"They've got a loan system, so they've got a management that keeps in contact with us, sees how we're feeling, makes sure that we're good. They're really good with that."
On Villa manager Unai Emery, Iling-Junior added: "He's very intense but a very calm guy at the same time.
"He's very calm, easy going. When it's on the pitch, he's like 'this is how I want things done'. But as a person, a lovely person, we had a conversation and that was good.
"In both pre-seasons I've had with him I've learned a big chunk and that's about how he plays his football and everyone else is different.
"He's got a winner's mentality. When I hear him speak, you think he accepts nothing less than winning. He's obsessed with football."
