Conveniently located near North Oaks Health Systems between Hammond and Ponchatoula, United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital's 20-bed facility is designed to maximize patient functional abilities by providing a home-like environment that stimulates independence. Patient rooms and common areas are completely handicapped-accessible.

A transitional living area makes it possible for patients to practice skills they've re-learned, with the help of a family member or caregiver, in a safe environment before returning home.

By facilitating as much self-care and social interaction as possible, our environment helps patients become more motivated and assists them to gain the confidence to tackle greater challenges in therapy. The result is a facility in which therapy continues throughout the day, whether an individual is participating in a structured session or simply enjoying a meal with family or friends.
