Alzheimer's Services of Cape Cod & the Islands, Inc. was formed in 1984 as an independent, community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit agency with the mission of supporting families and health care professionals caring for individuals with a dementia. While the population ASCCI serves has grown significantly over the years, we have responded with new programs and service. However, still today there is no cure or medicine to change the course of dementia like Alzheimer’s so ASCCI remains committed to offering free support services and information, respite grants for family caregivers, and education and training. We are 100% local organization and our services are sustained through local philanthropy, grants, sponsorships, and concerned citizens.
