About Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent

The Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent (ASCK) was started by a group in 1983 that was affected by Alzheimer's disease. It was identified that there was a lack of resources and support services available. Informal meetings were first held at the home of Grace LaMarsh. In 1986, the Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent received its charitable registration number and achieved full chapter status.

ASCK offers a variety of programs and services for those affected by dementia and their care partners such as In-Home Respite Care, Day Program, Cognitive Assessments, Counselling, Support Groups and Education Programs.
