  2. Cleansing and covering wounds.

  3. Planning menus and preparing meals.

  4. Making friendly visits to support an individual’s study of Christian Science.

  5. Loaning mobility aids for a few months, at no charge.

Recipients of Olive Glen's Visiting Christian Science Nursing service are expected to be radically reliant on Christian Science for healing and to be working with a Journal-listed practitioner on the day of each VCSN visit. Membership of The Mother Church, or a local branch church, is not a requirement.

Though most visits from our Christian Science nurse are one hour to two hours in length, the duration of a stay is flexible, depending on the need. 

If longer-term service is needed and home care remains the appropriate option, the visiting Christian Science nurse may assist in arranging for a private-duty Christian Science nurse or aide.  The visiting Christian Science nurse may also provide information about Christian Science nursing facilities to a client and a client’s family members.
