Alzheimer's Speaks

Chirag Patel MD Chief Medical Officer of Hansa Medical Groupe will join us today to discuss his Medical Concierge Service Model…”The Horse and Buggy Service of House Calls isn’t new, it’s just not utilized much these days.”  Here how this type of service can really help those in need

Hansa Medical Groupe is a novel concierge practice in which the physician comes to the patients/members' home for their appointments. Service and care is provided at the members' convenience. Your Physician at Hansa is available and ready to respond 24 hours a day. This is the first in-home concierge style medical practice in the region. Please browse our website for more information on why we believe this program provides the premier medical service in the greater Chicago area.

"Walking In Their Shoes," is a sociological perspective on communicating with people diagnosed with moderate-severe Alzheimer's disease and where/how negative behaviors originate. This book includes true stories and illustrates how to successfully understand behaviors, resolve conflict, and redirect persons diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
 
From his first experience with Alzheimer’s disease, he learned that through observation, non-verbal and verbal communication, he could effectively communicate with people who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and considered non-commutative, by observing their actions and locating “their reality.” Once this was accomplished, he used two simple techniques to communicate and “redirect” what some people call “behaviors,” meaning negative behaviors. Although these techniques were not successful all the time, with every success, Michael was rewarded. Now he would like to share these simple techniques, so you can have the same positive results and see that communication is possible with those you love.
