Our read on Abbott Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
Abbott Skilled Nursing runs 55 beds in Lynn under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a story of steady hands rather than flashy ones. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 19 percent below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is turnover at 23.1 percent, about half the national rate, which suggests people actually stay. Inspections in May 2025 produced 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, a category you should ask about directly. Recent inspections and solid marks on health, quality, and staffing round it out.
