Beth's Story

 

Beth Houghton has recently gained her degree of 'Bachelor of Science with Honours in Adult Nursing'. We are so proud of Beth's achievement and have enjoyed supporting her along the way.

Beth started at Right at Home East Lancs back in 2020 so she could earn as she studied.

Working at Right at Home East Lancs for Beth was more than just for financial support, it was a valuable experience working with clients on a one-to-one basis, all while demonstrating a person-centered approach and assisting clients to remain independent in their own homes. Beth has continuously maintained the high quality values that we promote and has always displayed a 'going above & beyond' approach to all her clients. It gave her more of an insight to see how we are able to support clients with dementia at home, maintain their dignity and encourage independence where we can. Beth's clients have said 'she is an absolute delight and they always look forward to the next visit'.
