For Southeastern United States FamiliesCognitive Rehabilitation in Cuba in Southeastern United States
The Southeastern United States — including Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and neighboring states — is home to over 1.1 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. This region has some of the highest Alzheimer's prevalence rates in the nation, driven by large senior populations, significant African American communities (who face disproportionately high dementia risk), and high diabetes rates that compound cognitive decline. Miami, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale offer the most convenient direct charter flights to Havana, while Atlanta, Charlotte, and New Orleans provide connecting flight options.

How Cognitive Rehabilitation Works at CIREN Across Southeastern United States
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.
