Mike Seabrook has been appointed home manager at Hartford Care’s Bethel House care home in Barton on Sea, Hampshire.

Seabrook has worked in the care industry for more than 20 years and joined Hartford Care last year as deputy manager at Bethel House.

He said: “I have always had a passion for supporting people who require extra care; having helped my nan who was living with vascular dementia, I gained knowledge and a good understanding of the condition which has helped in my day-to-day duties. I’m thrilled to be stepping up to home manager and to be able to develop my career within Hartford Care. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and knowledge in my new role, driving forward outstanding care at Bethel House.”

Harold Santiago has taken over as deputy manager at Bethel House. He said: “Having worked at Bethel House since 2017, I feel valued and like I am part of a big family. I am extremely passionate about working in care and I’m very excited to take up my new position as Deputy Manager and to be able to mentor and pass on my knowledge, skills and enthusiasm to my colleagues.”

Bethel House offers day care, dementia care, end of life care, residential care and respite breaks across its 30 en suite bedrooms.
