Every minute of every day, someone experiences a medical trauma that changes their ability to function as before. Stroke, injury to the brain, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic traumas and other disabling conditions leave families looking for help to care for their loved ones.

That is why the Rehabilitation Center of Thibodaux Regional was established with both inpatient and outpatient facilities. Our mission is to improve quality of life and maximize a person's ability to perform daily tasks. We assist patients in developing new skills, relearning skills that were lost and making adjustments in their everyday lives.

TEAM APPROACH

The rehab team at Thibodaux Regional is led by Dr. Todd D. Cowen, physiatrist. Together with a dedicated team of nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers and rehab techs, a personalized treatment plan is developed for each patient. Staff members monitor each patient's progress weekly and set goals with input from the patient and family. Depending on the needs of the patient, therapies consist of retraining to walk, self care skills such as dressing and bathing, memory and problem solving skills, coping with their disability and vocational training when necessary. Skills and strategies are taught to help patients get the maximum return of their abilities. Thanks to the personal attention and team approach provided by the Rehabilitation Center of Thibodaux Regional, countless people in our community have regained maximum quality in their lives.
