What Is In-Home Christian Science Nursing?
In-Home Christian Science nursing (as available) is care provided away from the facility, wherever the patient happens to be-at home, in an assisted living facility, at an airport – wherever the need is. A Journal-listed Christian Science nurse is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to sudden needs, to schedule regular visits for preventative care, and to support an individual’s ability to remain in the home.
