Christian Science nursing care is provided 24 hours a day for those individuals relying on Christian Science for healing. The Christian Science nursing staff creates an uplifting environment to support spiritual growth through skillful Christian Science nursing care. Christian Science nursing care is for those in need of supported care—help with dressing, bathing, etc. Meals are communal, or can be taken in one’s room when needed. There are activities scheduled, both in-house and off campus for all interested in participating. Residents enjoy the atmosphere of uplifted thought, the loving support of Christian Science nurses & staff, and the companionship of others who are relying on Christian Science for healing and spiritual growth. Friends and relatives of residents are welcome to visit and to schedule outings like shopping, meals out, or anything else the person would enjoy. Twenty-four hour in-room audio is available in all rooms, with access to the weekly Bible Lesson, hymns and the periodical articles read aloud.
Care is provided under the oversight of an experienced Journal-listed Christian Science nurse. All nursing patients are expected to be working daily with a Journal-listed Christian Science practitioner. All care is consistent with the theology of Christian Science.
