Roughley appeared in the dock at Liverpool Crown Court today, when her case was adjourned until next month for sentencing.
In total she has admitted responsibility for draining £325,613 from her victims.
Roughley pleaded guilty to one charge of theft that states she stole £91,437 belonging to her dad, Raymond Roughley, between January 1, 2014 and March 31, 2020.
She admitted another charge of theft that states she stole £158,735 belonging to her mum, Delwyn Roughley, between the same dates.
Roughley has pleaded guilty to another charge of theft that states she stole £58,221 belonging to the estate of her grandmother, Theresa Leyland, between June 17, 2019 and October 7, 2019.
She has also admitted stealing £17,220 belonging to a woman she cared for, Jean Almond, and Mrs Almond's husband Geoffrey Almond, between December 10, 2019 and February 23, 2020.
Roughley also admitted fraud, namely that on or before March 4, 2020 she "dishonestly made false representations" that she was Mrs Almond "and was entitled to set up and use a credit card in that name".
Judge Andrew Menary, QC, said Roughley had admitted "very serious offending".
The Honorary Recorder of Liverpool said she would be sentenced on October 13.
He remanded Roughley on bail until that date.
