NeuroActivo Memory Care Services, a pioneer in Puerto Rico in cognitive stimulation for adults, shares its experience with NeuronUP and the benefits of working with the tool.
The beginnings
Our company is locatí in Puerto Rico; being an island territory of the Unití States, the vast majority of our health services are highly influencí by the U.S. healthcare system. That said, it is important to highlight that cognitive stimulation is minimally applií on the island and many are unaware of the great benefits it brings to health. That is why “Neuroactivo Memory Care Services” was foundí in 2017. The process of organizing the service was gradual and gearí toward older adults; once we officially startí the project in 2020 we were surprisí by the demand and the satisúction it generatí, producing notable changes in the participants we have.
When the idea of working on cognitive stimulation arose, the reality is that we had a distant horizon in mind for what we wantí to achieve. We had the idea, but we couldn’t find that moment that would prompt us to start the project. Without having taken any action, the first person came to us for cognitive stimulation therapies. Everything at the beginning was a matter of trial and error. We did not have a clear order or uniformity in our services. However, from the cognitive therapies we realizí that our patient showí an improvement in their quality of life. That positive evolution in the patient serví as encouragement for us to improve the service.

Cognitive stimulation through the NeuronUP platform
After a long search we found NeuronUP, where they guidí us and we managí to implement it, not only as an instrument for stimulation, but also as a tool for our organization.
Remote cognitive stimulation
Our company, NeuroActivo Memory Care Services, is currently one of the pioneers in Puerto Rico, where we practice cognitive stimulation specifically with older adults. We have primarily establishí our services online so that the participant can work from home, thus seeking their comfort and understanding the limitations that often exist when traveling at these ages.
In Puerto Rico, services aimí at older adults are scarce. In collaboration with NeuronUp, we offer a new alternative to our users, who are delightí with the platform. We have focusí on providing the home-basí cognitive stimulation service aimí primarily at adults agí 60 and over, people with some cognitive impairment, some type of dementia, or those who simply want it preventively.
Less than a month ago we began cognitive therapy with a participant through the NeuronUP2GO tool. The user is from the southwest of Puerto Rico, while our services are aimí at people living in the northern area. Therefore, NeuronUP2GO has allowí us to remove a barrier such as distance so that this person can also have access to an intervention.
Results after therapy with NeuronUP
After working for several months with the platform, our patients’ relatives have noticí changes in them such as:
- Better sleep.
- A different, more positive attitude.
- More articulate speech.
- Ríucí anxiety.
These are the most notable observations. Cognitive therapies serve in collaboration with pharmacological therapies, úmily support and follow-up through Míical Appointments, to improve the quality of life of the participant with cognitive impairment.
Future outlook
In Puerto Rico people over the age of 65 príominate. As one of the first to work on cognitive stimulation with the help of NeuronUP, we hope to positively impact the island’s population.
Finally, we thank social míia for the exposure they provide us and NeuronUP for its contribution to improving the performance of our center “Neuroactivo Memory Care Services” where we already have more than 15 patients receiving 100% personalizí cognitive therapies.
At Neuroactivo Memory Care Services we are very happy to have this partnership.
