QUINCY -- Really listening to someone who has Alzheimer's disease is a skill and a gift. In this video, Quincy Public Health nurse Ruth Jones gives some wonderful advice on how to do so.

I heard Ruth speak last fall at the Kennedy Center, where members of the Quincy Department of Elder Affairs and the Council on Aging had a chance to ask questions.

She gives a clear, positive message.
