It is BRAIN INJURY AWARENESS MONTH!! All month we will be sharing fun facts, inspiring stories, and more! #brainhealth #brain #braininjuryawareness #stroke #survivor

Dante came to TASS late September after being involved in a car accident. He has persistently worked hard and pushed through every obstacle in his way. We are so proud of Dante and all of the amazing progress he continues to make every day and cannot wait to see what else is to come!! #brain #braininjuryawareness #caraccidentsurvivor #stroke #therapy

PROGRESS PROGRESS ALERT!!! Tony admitted to TASS in Covington one month ago. Every day we see gains and we love being able to show our clients how far they have come. We cannot wait to see all the progress Tony continues to make! #brainhealth #braininjuryawareness #strokesurvivor

TASS recently celebrated Prom!! It was such a fun night with clients and current and past employees!

Where have we been lately?? We are incredibly proud to announce that we have made it through another CARF accreditation! The Ponchatoula program has been accredited for another 3 years. The Covington program received their first 3 year accreditation!! Thank you to CARF for continuing to help us improve the quality of our services.

Embracing carnival season this week during art therapy. Our clients were about to make their own crowns that go perfect with their individual personalities!💜💛💚

We are so grateful to our amazing clients and staff that help us do what we do year round. Merry Christmas!

Meet Our Team!! Alex is the director of our newest Covington location!

Last night we had the best time at the Brain Injury Association’s bowling event! #braininjuryawareness #braininjury

Big day in Covington! Upon popular request, we have built out a new therapy area for our clients! Check out our before and after!

We had the best weekend taking one of our longest clients home to Wisconsin for the weekend! #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #family #wisconsin

Director’s night out! It has been a long couple of years for everyone and we could not be more grateful to these 3 amazing directors for everything they do. Last night, these ladies got to enjoy a Kenney Chesney concert together for a well deserved night out.

TASS Stroke and Brain Injury Rehabilitation (our 3rd location) is located in Covington, LA on a beautiful piece of property in River Forest neighborhood. Our clients get to enjoy the outdoors daily with activities, therapies, and socializations.

We had the best day supporting the ST. Tammany Hospital Foundation! We love that we can be involved in our local community.

Happy Friday! Today we spent the day enjoying the outdoors with therapies. #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #braininjurysurvivor

It’s therapy but why not have a little fun with it on a Monday!? #therapy #physicaltherapy #strokesurvivor

What a beautiful week! Our clients at TASS had a full week enjoying the outdoors. Located on a beautiful piece of property, it’s no wonder most of our time is spent outside.

All smiles for St. Patrick’s day last week! You know the party was fun when we almost forgot to take a single picture!! 💚💚

Progress Progress Progress!! Eric has been working so hard in therapies and has come so far since his accident in October. #rehab #braininjurysurvivor #caraccident #occupationaltherapy

Today was a big day at TASS! We could not be more excited that Eric is finally able to begin the process of getting a prosthetic!

Happy Mardi Gras!! How adorable are our clients in Mississippi?!? A little hand eye coordination but make it fun!!

Let’s go Hawks!!! We love supporting our family members!!

Sometimes you just need a childhood reminder to get through the day ☺️ #braininjuryrecovery #braininjury #braininjuryawareness

Family time is the best time!! Family involvement is crucial to programming at TASS. We love for our families to be involved in their loved one’s care. Their family become our family and we love every minute!! #braininjuryrecovery #braininjuryawareness #braininjurysurvivor

For those who have kept up with Mrs. Peggy, her daughter sent us this video last week. Peggy was with us for a total of 150 days. In that time, there were plenty of ups and downs. When she came to TASS she used s hoyer lift to transfer. Today, she is walking with almost no assistance! We could not be more proud of her and everything she accomplished at TASS!

Another fun day at TASS. Those smiles are EVERYTHING!!! ☺️☺️

As important as individualized and one-on-one therapy is, group therapy is a huge part of programming at TASS. #braininjuryrecovery #braininjuryawareness #strokesurvivor #rehabilitation

It’s all in the holiday spirit! We have been having an absolute ball getting the house decorated for Christmas and getting some occupational therapy in at the same time!!

We got a runner!!! Wow wow wow the improvements!!!!!!

We hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! Many of our clients got to enjoy the day at home with their loved ones!

Art therapy was a success today! We love incorporating different styles of therapy into our days at TASS.

Seeing our clients make such amazing progress in such a short amount of time!

We love to see the progress our clients make! Our properties are designed to be able to incorporate therapies inside, outside, and throughout the community.

We’ve really been burying the lead in our posts lately. We have yet to mention that we also offer DAY TREATMENT PROGRAMS!! Stay tuned to find out more and how day treatment (also know as outpatient treatment) works at TASS!! #braininjury #stroke #braininjuryawareness #braininjuryassociationofamerica #recovery #therapy

BIG NEWS!! We officially have a contract with Blue Cross in Covington!!

Weekend fun! We are so happy to finally be able to get back into the community and enjoy fun days like this with our clients!

Nothing but smiles on this weekend’s outing!!

We’d like to wish a happy birthday to one of our original clients! Kenny has been with the Lentz family for 20+ years. To say he is family would be an understatement! We look forward to many many more birthdays together!!!

Family training is extremely important when our clients get close to discharging home. The therapists at TASS work closely with the families to be sure they have every tool necessary to take care of their loved ones at home.

Notice anything missing?? Ms. Peggy hit a MAJOR milestone yesterday in therapy. We are just a few steps away from independence!!

Brendan when he first came to us after his accident to today. The progress he has made and continued to make when discharged from TASS is truly remarkable.

We’ve got a walker! This week Ms. Peggy has started to walk primarily with her walker instead of her wheelchair and we could not be more proud! Therapy is not always easy on the client or family but determination and hard work will pay off every time! We work tirelessly with our clients to encourage them every step of the way!

It is amazing to see how hard work results is monumental progress. When Becky first came to TASS, she used a wheelchair as her primary form of getting around. After the first few days, she graduated to using a walker. Today, she is successfully conquering stairs!! Programming at TASS looks different from traditional hospitals and nursing homes and it truly works wonders!!

THE PROGRESS!!! Ms. Peggy has made such strides the last couple of months. It’s truly remarkable what hard work and good care can achieve together.

We love when nature loves us!! 🐞🐞🐞 #braininjuryawareness #nature #braininjury #braininjurysurvivor

Full weekend of fun!

Today has been a GOOD day!! Ms. Peggy has been working SO hard and it shows!! In the beginning, standing at the sink required 2 people at almost max assistance. Today, she only required one staff who barely had to hold on to her! We could not be more proud!

At TASS, we have the ability to combine our locations and activities to change up the routine sometimes. Especially during these stressful times, it is nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors with some new company! #braininjury #stroke #braininjuryawareness

We hope everyone is staying safe today! Our spirits are high as we enjoy good food and music before the storm.

What a day!! We had the BEST time today putting flowers in the back yard and going out to eat. Today we felt “normal” and that’s a win.

We are making huge strides today!! For those who have been keeping up with Ms. Peggy, today was a huge accomplishment! Little improvements each week have made all the difference!

What a weekend! It was so nice to finally have a rain free weekend and we made the most of it! From dinners out, brunch at the house, and nail appointments, we had a FULL weekend!!

We had the best time at the park today! Being a family business really does mean family. Alex is the director of our Covington location and Sydney is finishing her last semester of nursing school. Both have grown up in this business and we love that we can incorporate our family with Ms. Peggy’s family.

All in the eye of the tiger!! 🐯🐯

We love being able to see all the progress Ms. Peggy has made. The first video is from her first week in Covington and the second is from this morning! She has made amazing strides in the last two weeks we cannot wait to see the future!!

TEAM USA ALL THE WAY!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

We mean it when we say family and a good support system means EVERYTHING! Today we enjoyed bringing our family and our client’s family together for a true family Sunday lunch.

Look at these guys go! We are proud of all of the hard work our clients have put into their therapies this week!! #braininjuryawareness

AMAZING PROGRESS MADE THIS WEEK! Our first week in Covington has been a whirl wind and we could not be more grateful to Ms. Peggy and her family for trusting us through this process! We have been working so hard and cannot wait to see what this week brings as well! Check in throughout the week for updates on Ms. Peggy’s progress!!

Fridays are for fun in the kitchen 👩🏼‍🍳

We are proud sponsors of the Brain Injury Association on Louisiana. If you haven’t already registered it’s not too late!! This is an amazing opportunity for CEUs and marketing.

It was all giggles and fun this weekend! These best friends have been going strong for close to 20 years!! One of the best parts of our long-term care are the friendships you make! #braininjury #friends #braininjuryawareness

From beautiful old trees, outdoor seating areas, private bedrooms, and a spacious kitchen, TASS Covington is the perfect spot for post acute rehabilitation.

The temptation was at an all time high this weekend! Kenny had a blast with his new friend for the day! #goat #braininjury #braininjuryawareness

Rainy day activities!

Some weekend fun!

Meet Kenny Paul! On February 20, 1997 Kenny was a 20 year old rookie cop on the Plaquemine police force, a job he worked for less than 8 weeks. On Kenny’s last day on the job he and his partner answered a call to back up Iberville Sheriff’s deputies investigating a shooting. This call resulted in Kenny being shot in the forehead. Kenny has been with our owner, Suzanne, since that injury in 1997 and has truly become a key member of the TASS family. At TASS Kenny thrives. He enjoys fishing in our stocked pond, feeding the ducks and geese, and most importantly he enjoys joking with the staff.

What a weekend! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there!!

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO FROM TASS BRAIN INJURY!! We had a blast today celebrating with all our clients and staff 🌮🌮

There’s nothing like a good card game especially on St. Patrick’s day!

TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center is a proud sponsor of the Brain Injury Assosiation of Louisiana’s Unmasking Brain Injury exhibit. Currently this exhibit is being displayed at St. Scholastica Academy (SSA) in Covington, La. The purpose of this exhibit is to bring more awareness and education about brain injuries and the emotions people experience when living with a brain injury.

Vaccinated and finally getting back to a normal routine. TASS is a community based reintegration program with the main goal being to get our clients back into the world as independently as possible.

In this month’s issue of Sophisticated Women magazine, they highlight the story of Brendan David, a vibrant young man that suffered a traumatic brain injury in May of 2019 as a result of a four-wheeler accident. In the article, Brendan’s mom, Yvette, talks about Brendan’s recovery. TASS Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center is so very proud to have played a part in Brendan’s recovery. This small community-based program in Ponchatoula specializes in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation and is a CARF accredited program. The program focuses on ensuring all clients have the individualized attention they need and deserve. TASS caters every component of therapy to the needs of each client while maintaining a high standard of care. We wish Brendan and Yvette the best as they continue to navigate the world of brain injury. For more information about TASS, visit www.tassbraininjury.com.

Occupational Therapy has many forms! At TASS, we try to implement activities throughout the entire day that works with coordination and cognitive skills. Bingo is a great game that allows our clients to work on motor function.

Therapy on a Sunday never looked so fun!

TGIF!!! A little humor goes a long way!
