Meet The Manager
Adeola Adeboyejo is Care Manager at Luff House.
Adeola joined Luff House in 2022 as a carer and, through dedication and hard work, progressed to becoming the manager. Working at Luff House has never felt like just a job to Adeola as she is very passionate about caring for people. Her love for caring for older people comes from her personal experience of being the sole carer for her grandmother until she sadly passed away. Supporting our 'family members' (as we call those who live with us) and helping meet their needs gives her a sense of fulfilment every day.
She loves spending time by the beach and taking long walks along the seafront, as she lives in Clacton-on-Sea. When not at work, you’ll usually find her at the beach, in the gym, or at home spending time with her goddaughters.
Luff House is a 28-bed residential care home in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex.
We offer residential care for the elderly, including for those who are living with dementia. We can provide respite care to those who need it and we are able to offer care at the end of life. Our rooms are available on two floors, the ground floor and the first floor

At the heart of The Way We Care is our commitment to making sure we know each person really well so we can care for them in the way that’s best for them. When someone comes to live at Luff House, a senior member of the care team will discuss their needs with them and create an individual Care Plan which covers everything from their history to their social interests, personal relationships, hobbies, and emotional, spiritual and cultural needs. We call those who live with us ‘family members’ reflecting our commitment to creating places where those who choose to live with us feel truly at home. We support those who live with us to remain as independent as possible but our care team provide support with activities such as bathing, dressing and mealtimes for those who need it. We focus on seeing the individual person first before seeing any form of illness or disability. This is especially relevant when caring for those living with a form of dementia. |
