Meet the Team
Scott Strachan | Owner
Scott Strachan is an RN and Administrator of Abby Services. His extensive experience makes him a key member of the Abby Services Team.
He has been a caregiver with Abby Services while working as a CNA. Scott attended Nursing School at Penn State University. As an RN he has worked in a variety of settings throughout the country including Med-Surg, Hospice, Palliative Care, Oncology, Ortho, Medical ICU, Surgical ICU, Neuro ICU, Cardiac Rehab, and In-Home Care, including cardiac rehabilitation care in Baltimore, Maryland. He has worked at hospitals such as Phoenix Memorial Hospital, and locally at Healthpark Hospital and the Pavilion at Shell Point, among other local facilities. Scott has also served on the board of the Lee County Injury Prevention Coalition.
Scott would most likely say that he grew up in Western Pennsylvania but has worked throughout the country as a Travel Nurse. Fort Myers has been home for some time though. Although not a huge sports fan, you can tell where he is from by the Pirates, and Steelers hats he wears when not working.
Scott holds an active RN license in good standing and has spent his career connecting clinical expertise with real-world caregiving. Beyond Abby Services, Scott is the founder of C-E-U.com, an accredited continuing-education platform that originally served Florida nurse registries and caregivers and has since expanded nationally to serve the broader healthcare industry, MyHealthForm.com, and NurseRegistryConsultant.com, which helps other entrepreneurs launch and operate compliant Florida nurse registries. He currently serves as Vice President of the Private Care Association of Florida (PCAFL) after multiple years on its Board of Directors, is running for PCAFL President in the upcoming term, and regularly speaks at PCA national conferences on nurse registry operations, caregiver education, and compliance. Scott also hosts the Nurse Registry Podcast, sharing insights on nurse registry operations and the home care industry.

A Legacy of Care: Honoring Our Founder, Tom Strachan
At Abby Services, we believe that great care starts with great people — and for us, that began with John “Tom” Strachan, our founder.
Tom started Abby Services in 1997 with a simple but powerful goal: to make it easier for families to find dependable, compassionate caregivers. After decades working in senior care, he saw firsthand the difference that personalized, consistent support could make in someone’s life — and he knew our community needed more of it. So he built Abby Services from the ground up, focused not on profits or quick fixes, but on honesty, fairness, and real human connection.
Nearly 30 years later, those values still guide everything we do.
Tom wasn’t just a founder — he was a listener, a problem-solver, and someone who treated everyone with dignity and respect. Whether you were a caregiver, a client, or a family member, he made time for you. His quiet leadership and deep belief in doing the right thing set the tone for what Abby Services has become.
Tom passed away in 2024 after a long and courageous journey with Parkinson’s and dementia. His legacy lives on in the trust families place in us every day, and in the dedication of the caregivers we support. Abby Services is still family-owned and operated — and still grounded in the mission Tom started: connecting people to care they can count on.
To every caregiver and every client who continues to walk this path with us — thank you. You are part of Tom’s legacy.
