Preparation
Steps to complete before traveling to Cuba, so your program begins smoothly.
Send cognitive testing & imaging
Provide recent neuropsychological assessments, MRI/PET, and laboratory results so the neurology team can confirm cognitive stage and plan the program.
List current medications
Share a full medication list including dosages; cholinesterase inhibitors and other drugs may be adjusted by your neurologist.
Plan caregiver participation
Arrange for a family member or caregiver to attend the program — caregiver training is essential for home continuation.
Gather functional history
Note daily-living abilities, behavioral changes, and recent functional decline to help the team tailor therapy and safety planning.
Recovery
What to do after your program to protect your results and support lasting recovery.
Continue cognitive stimulation daily
Perform the prescribed cognitive exercises and stimulation activities consistently — regular practice is the strongest predictor of maintained function.
Follow the medication plan
Administer all medications exactly as prescribed and report any side effects or behavioral changes to your neurologist promptly.
Apply caregiver techniques
Use the communication, routine-structuring, and safety strategies learned in Havana to support daily functioning and reduce confusion.
Maintain social & physical activity
Encourage gentle exercise, social engagement, and meaningful daily routines to support mood and cognition.
Attend follow-up reviews
Schedule periodic cognitive reassessment (in person or via telemedicine) to track progression and adjust the plan.
