Shady Acres Senior Center

Nestled along West Main Street in the heart of Houma, Louisiana, Shady Acres Senior Center provides warm, personalized assisted living care for seniors in Terrebonne Parish. Houma is a vibrant bayou city known for its rich Cajun heritage, welcoming community spirit, and easy access to healthcare and everyday conveniences — making it an ideal setting for older adults who want to maintain an active and connected lifestyle. Residents at Shady Acres benefit from assisted living services designed to support independence while providing hands-on help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and mobility. The community's caregiving team takes time to understand each resident's preferences and routines, fostering a sense of home rather than facility. Families are reassured knowing that Terrebonne General Medical Center — a full-service regional hospital located nearby on Main Street — is minutes away in the event of a medical need. Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center also serves the area, offering additional emergency and specialty care resources. Outside the community, Houma offers a rich quality of life for seniors and their visiting families. The Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum provides fascinating cultural outings, while Southdown Plantation and Museum, located on Museum Drive, offers a window into Louisiana's storied history. The Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center hosts community events throughout the year, and the nearby Walmart Supercenter and local shopping along Main Street keep daily errands simple.

The area's bayou waterways and mild climate mean outdoor enjoyment is available year-round. At Shady Acres Senior Center, the commitment is straightforward: provide attentive, compassionate assisted living care in a community that feels like family — right in the middle of one of Louisiana's most spirited small cities.
