Care Options

Home Care

In many cases the Christly touch of comfort’s art – found in Christian Science nursing care – can be delivered in your home. After assessing the type and extent of care needed, a Christian Science nurse will arrange with you the times and frequency of visits. Services consistent with the practice of Christian Science will be established at the outset. Fees will be discussed and information about benevolent financial help provided.

Each Christian Science nurse has an independent practice and charges between $30 and $50/hour, depending on the need. Rates are reduced for 24-hour care. If care needs are extensive and a client cannot easily afford their invoice, benevolence is available. Where round-the-clock, in-home care is required, the Christian Science nurse will call upon fellow nurses or others with requisite skills to provide a team.

The Christian Science nurse can be an advocate for your reliance on Christian Science for practical and reliable care. They are prepared to discuss with your family the care they provide, and show family members ways they can help. Christian Science nurses are also knowledgeable about available community resources.

Facility Care

At times, being cared for in your home is not ideal. In such cases, a Christian Science nurse will determine if you can be nursed more helpfully at Sharon House. The Sharon House nursing facility is a gracious, home-like setting with the benefits of accessible facilities, professional nursing equipment, and a well-stocked library for Christian Science study.

To be nursed at Sharon House, your needs must be assessed by a Christian Science nurse who advertises in the Christian Science Journal. This Christian Science nurse will then contact Sharon House to make arrangements to rent a room for you. A team of nurses and assistants will be assembled for round-the-clock presence. They will provide meals and do laundry, in addition to nursing you, during your stay.

24-hour Christian Science nursing at the facility costs around $350 per day. Financial concerns should not prevent you from relying on Christian Science in overcoming health challenges. Benevolence is available from various sources and may be applied for to assist with expenses for Christian Science nursing and practitioner fees.
