Cognitive 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.

How Cognitive Rehabilitation Works at CIREN Across East Coast

Cognitive rehabilitation is a structured, evidence-based therapy that aims to maintain or improve cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Unlike medication, which targets the underlying biology, cognitive rehabilitation directly stimulates the brain's remaining capacity — leveraging neuroplasticity to maintain function for as long as possible.

At CIREN, cognitive rehabilitation includes memory therapy (reminiscence, memory books, spaced retrieval), attention training (sustained, selective, divided attention), language therapy (word-finding, comprehension, expression), executive function training (planning, problem-solving, reasoning), visuospatial therapy, and computer-assisted cognitive training. Each session is delivered by a trained specialist and coordinated with other disciplines by a single multidisciplinary team.

The program is adapted daily based on the patient's performance, fatigue level, and progress. This intensity — 4–6 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 4–8 weeks — is what makes CIREN's cognitive rehabilitation fundamentally different from U.S. standard care, where therapy is limited to 1–2 hours per week. It is the primary driver of functional improvement reported by American families.

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.
