CS Nursing Facilities
Christian Science nursing facilities or houses provide a sanctuary where an individual’s desire to rely solely on prayer for healing is upheld by the spiritual reassurance and practical care given by Christian Science Nurses.
These organizations offer 24-hour skilled Christian Science Nursing care. They may also offer:
- “Outpatient” care for those in need of a single visit, or requiring brief daily attention, such as a bandage that needs changing.
- “Home visits” for those whose needs can be met within two or three hours.
- “Rest and study” rooms for those who desire a haven for prayer and study but do not have Christian Science nursing needs.
- “Respite care” for short-term assistance at the facility, so that caregivers looking after loved ones are temporarily relieved of ongoing responsibility for care.
These are non-profit, independent organizations—each setting its own fees for payment. To find a facility near you, please visit the Association of Organizations of Christian Science Nursing.
