Home Manager - Sophie Betts

Hi!  My name is Sophie and I am the Registered Manager here at Saltwood Care Centre, Hythe Kent.

I have worked in the health care sector since 2008, I have worked in various different roles and developed my skills along my journey. I have worked for both private and public health providers.

I worked previously as a home manager and have supported a range of needs throughout my career including specialist Dementia and nursing care. I have gained qualifications such as my NVQ 5 in management & leadership.

I am passionate about delivering a high standard of care and making a difference to peoples lives. For any person, family member or loved one, choosing a care home can be understandably difficult and my aim is to make the transition as smooth as possible with care and understanding to all involved.

Customer Reviews

  • Thank you for your compassion and kindness
    Thank you for all you have done for Dad during the past few months.



    Your compassion and kindness shone through and helped us through such a tough time. So grateful.

  • Thank you for going the extra mile
    I am enclosing some cash for a staffroom treat (biccies, sweets...) for you all.



    Hurts too much to come near the home at the moment, if you can buy them!?



    Things must be a lot quieter there now Mum has gone as she was quite demanding!



    Thank you for all your hard work looking after her and especially to those who went the extra mile for her.

  • Incredibly Kind
    I just wanted to write a quick note to say 'Thank You' for all you did for our Mum.



    All your staff have been incredibly kind, especially XXX, during these difficult months.



    It is greatly appreciated by XXX and myself.

  • Love, care and kindness
    Thank you for the love, care and kindness you and your staff extended to my husband M during the last 10 days of his life. In an emotionally turbulent time you supported us, the family also. The acceptance of death, although expected, is still a verberating shock.



    It is the finality of it that takes the greatest toll. In M's memory we, the family, would like to show our appreciation to you and all the staff who cared for him with a small gift perhaps toward your Christmas Party to say thank you, you will be in our thoughts and prayers as we remember M,dad and grandad.

  • Took such good care of him
    Although none of us wanted Dad to come into nursing care we are all so glad that he came to you. You took such good care of him and he lived way longer than he would have anywhere else.



    And we have such wonderful memories of his 90th birthday party - his first party ever - and his beaming face in the photos testify how much he enjoyed it. With love and our absolute thanks.

  • Wonderful staff
    On behalf of all the family we would just like to say a big thank you for taking such good care of 'A' and showing her such kindness while she was with you. She always seemed happy and contented, never distressed and never complained about anything. We are grateful that she was in such good hands and appreciate all your hard work.

  • Saltwood Care Centre
    Thank you so much for all the care and kindness you showed our mother in the last days of her life. Whilst we are sorry that you did not get a chance to know the creative, compassionate person that she was we are grateful that you enabled her to have a calm, dignified death with one os us by her side.

  • Wonderful care and kindness
    My family and I would like to say a very big thank you for all the wonderful care and kindness shown to my mother throughout the 2 years she spent with you. I know she felt very safe and extremely lucky to receive such personal attention. She was always treated with dignity and compassion by every single staff member she came into contact with. If I had to mention any particular staff members then Elaine showed my mother exemplary kindness even giving her manicures and bringing in a Christmas cardigan and Tanya too, especially at the very end of her life. The management team led by example and help to create a happy, efficient and caring atmosphere. Together all the Saltwood team from reception to carers, cleaners and nurses helped to make the last 2 years of mothers life safe and dignified.

  • Thank you all for a very special day
    Thank you for the most wonderful surprise and for allowing me to spend my birthday with 'I'. I had thought that we would not be able to enjoy anymore celebrations, giving us lovely memories. How wrong I was. Thanks to the wonderful efforts from all of the staff we had a day to remember which will keep us smiling in the days to come. It was a complete shock to me andI thank you all for the decorations, presents and birthday cake. We certainly did feel like special people. Thank you all for a very special day and for the care you take of 'I'.
