Families in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes are about 1.5 hours from NeuLife Rehabilitation of Louisiana in Hammond. We treat adults after brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke.
NeuLife Rehabilitation of Louisiana is in Hammond, north of Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes. It is about 85 miles from Houma and about 76 miles from Thibodaux.
Our team treats traumatic brain injury from falls, motor vehicle accidents, assaults and sports. We also treat stroke, aneurysm, brain tumors and infections such as meningitis. Anoxic injury, lasting concussion symptoms and spinal cord injury are part of our work too.
There is no NeuLife clinic in the bayou region. Every patient, residential or outpatient, comes to our one facility in Hammond.
Both routes finish on I-55 heading north to Hammond. From Houma, the route follows US-90 east before joining I-55.
| From | Route | Distance | Typical drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houma | US-90 E and I-55 N | about 85 miles | about 1.5 hours |
| Thibodaux | I-55 N | about 76 miles | about 1.5 hours |
Both times vary with traffic. In smaller communities across the two parishes, map your own route.
Get directions from Houma to NeuLife
Relatives in New Orleans who help with visits have a drive of about an hour. Our page for New Orleans families covers their route.
An hour and a half each way is a reasonable trip for a family visit. Making that trip every day for outpatient therapy is much harder.
Patients live at NeuLife with care 24 hours a day and a full day of therapy across several disciplines. For most patients from the bayou region, this is the more workable choice.
This is for patients who can live safely at home, and every session is in Hammond. That means about 1.5 hours on the road each way, which is a lot for most families.
Our clinical team reviews each patient and talks through both options with you.
Every program runs at the Hammond facility. A residential day includes therapy from several of them.
