Understanding Your Options

What Can Be Done

If you or a loved one has received an Alzheimer's diagnosis, you are likely searching for every available option. While there is no known cure, international treatment programs — including Cuba's neuroprotective approach — offer additional pathways worth exploring alongside your US care team.

Early-Stage Treatment Options

For early Alzheimer's, treatment typically combines FDA-approved medications with cognitive stimulation, lifestyle changes, and care planning. Cuba's program adds neuroprotective therapy to this foundation.

Cognitive Rehabilitation

Structured cognitive rehabilitation aims to preserve memory, attention, and executive function. Cuba's intensive, multidisciplinary approach delivers 4–6 hours of daily therapy during program cycles.

Neurological Rehabilitation

Beyond medication, neurological rehabilitation addresses the whole person — mobility, speech, daily function, and emotional well-being — coordinated by a specialized multidisciplinary team.

Second Opinions

A second opinion can confirm a diagnosis, explore alternative treatment pathways, or simply provide peace of mind. Our neurology team reviews US medical records remotely — at no cost.
