Bette D., Home Instead Newton, IA


For Bette D, caregiving at Home Instead N Newton is more than just a job—it's a commitment to community. Bette comes to us with a background in i worked in early childhood education for 25 yrs. went to nursing school at age 47. worked as rn in nicu for 20 years. retired. wasn't done helping people. after 3 other part time jobs & going through breast cancer treatment i came to home instead. i let my nursing license expire. i wanted a job that i just "had to be nice". my goal is to work part time, but if i have formed a relationship with a client & they would benefit from me being with them more i am all in to help them & their loved one by being there more. the magic happens with consistency & a 1:1 relationship. i like to think i have worked with many "ages & stages" of life.. With 2 1/2 years at Home Instead, Bette has built relationships rooted in trust, compassion, and shared joy.

For Bette, the reward is in the connection. "I love listening to their stories. If they are non-verbal I like to hold their hand, play their favorite music & keep them as comfortable as possible. If they like going out & about, a care giver can make that happen if they can no longer drive. In summary - we get to know them, build a trusting relationship & meet them where they are. Sometimes we have to encourage them what the next phase of care could be," Bette shares. Through these shared moments, Bette has learned valuable life lessons, noting, "Everyone has a different way to find joy. Listen to what brings your client joy & help support that."

Bette's daily goal is simple: ensure every client feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Skilled in i feel i have experienced all 3 of these. companionship is the 1st step & it blossoms from there., Bette finds joy in the details of each visit. "Knowing a client so well you can automatically use time management to do what needs to be done plus any requests for that day. I have enjoyed a growing relationship with an elderly cat of a client," Bette says of a typical day.

Bette praises the local team for their dedication and communication. "They have your back. They support you with training, annual reviews, time off, & able to talk over any difficult situations you come across," Bette notes. "Annual night out & special recognitions. Annual Care Conference. I know that is 2."

In every way, Bette reflects the heart of caregiving: consistency, connection, and the quiet pride of knowing you've made someone's life better today.
