At Abby Services we believe that the consumer who elects to privately pay for their own or family member’s care has the right to assess their own care needs, make decisions about how they want their care delivered, select the personnel who will deliver that care and choose how, when, and where that care will be delivered.
The Abby Services Story
Abby Services was founded by Tom Strachan in 1997 after recognizing a local need for quality, cost effective, in-home care. Many people ask where the name Abby Services came from, as well as why a yellow rose was selected as a logo.
The name Abby Services actually came about due to a misunderstanding. When originally developing his business plan Tom was listening to the popular Beatles album “Abbey Road”. Tom mistakenly thought the album was called “Abby Rose”. In a moment of clarity it came to him. A yellow rose symbolizes friendship, it would be the perfect logo for a new In-Home Care service called Abby Services, and as they say, the rest is history.
