For East Coast FamiliesAlzheimer's Rehabilitation in Cuba in East Coast
The East Coast of the United States — spanning from Florida in the south to Maryland and New York in the north — is home to over 2.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. The region's dense senior population, significant African American communities, and high healthcare costs make intensive cognitive rehabilitation programs particularly relevant. Miami, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale offer the most convenient direct charter flights to Havana, while Baltimore, Atlanta, and Charlotte provide connecting flight options.

CIREN's Intensive Rehabilitation Model Across East Coast
The International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN) in Havana is one of the world's leading institutions for neurological rehabilitation. Its Alzheimer's program is built on a simple but powerful principle: intensity and coordination matter.
In the United States, Alzheimer's rehabilitation is typically limited to 1–2 hours of therapy per week — constrained by insurance authorizations, therapist availability, and cost. At CIREN, patients receive 4–6 hours of daily therapy, five days a week, for 4–8 weeks. A single multidisciplinary team — neurologist, neuropsychologist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, and physical therapist — follows the patient throughout the entire program, ensuring coordinated, personalized care.
The rehabilitation program includes cognitive rehabilitation (memory, attention, language, executive function), neuropsychology (mood, behavior, coping), occupational therapy (daily living skills), speech therapy (communication and swallowing safety), and physical therapy (mobility, balance, overall health). This concentrated, coordinated approach is virtually impossible to replicate within the U.S. healthcare system. Many American families report meaningful improvements in cognition, daily functioning, and quality of life — though results vary and no outcome is guaranteed.
No treatment currently cures Alzheimer's disease. Cuba's program aims to slow cognitive decline, maintain function, and improve quality of life. NeuroEPO is investigational and not FDA-approved. Treatment suitability is determined after individual medical evaluation. Individual outcomes vary.
