Most people don’t think about dementia care… until they have to.

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Paul Chambers shares how he went from a career in sales into the world of dementia care, and what that journey has taught him along the way.

This is an eye-opening conversation about what really happens when dementia enters a family’s life. From recognising the early signs, to getting a diagnosis, to navigating care options and the reality of costs, the episode covers it all. It also breaks down what to look for in a care home, the mistakes people make when choosing one and the questions more families should be asking before it’s too late.

More about Paul

Paul Chambers is the Dementia and Wellbeing Lead at Willow Bank Residential Dementia Care Home in Pershore. After more than 30 years working in sales and business development, a serious car accident in 2019 prompted him to reassess his career and move into the care sector. He began working in domiciliary and live-in care before moving into a customer relations role within a care home, where he developed a strong interest in supporting families navigating dementia.

Today, Paul focuses on improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, helping residents remain engaged, stimulated and supported while also guiding families through the challenges of diagnosis, care decisions and long-term support. He is particularly passionate about dementia awareness, cognitive stimulation approaches and ensuring residents continue to live with dignity and purpose throughout their care journey.
