ABBEYVILLE SKILLED NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENT
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Abbeyville Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerns about care quality. It ranks #381 out of 653 nursing homes in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #20 out of 31 facilities in Lancaster County, suggesting that there are better options available locally. The facility is showing improvement, reducing issues from 16 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. However, staffing remains a concern, with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a 61% turnover rate, which is higher than the state average, indicating instability among staff. Specific incidents include failures to notify the state ombudsman about hospital transfers for several residents, inadequate infection control measures, and a significant pest problem, with reports of mice in the dementia unit. Despite these weaknesses, the absence of fines is a positive aspect to note.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
