The
Residences at Lynn House is a sanctuary
for the progressive practice of Christian Science. Here
you, along with other active students of Christian Science,
can find sheltered living with the availability of light
Christian Science nursing care and support.
At
The Residences, you can fashion a simple,
lovely home in a prayerful community - a spiritually
nurturing atmosphere supporting growth and regeneration.
Located on the lovely, rolling grounds of Lynn House,
The Residences is situated in a quiet neighborhood,
just 15 minutes from downtown Washington, DC. Residents
will discover a wide range of resources for shopping
and activities easily available in the area. For example,
Ford Ward Park, just across the street, provides a wonderful
place to stroll and to attend outdoor concerts and events.
The
Residences at Lynn House is eager to welcome
you!
There are six beautiful single rooms, where our residents
have brought their treasured furnishings, to make the
space their own. We currently have two available rooms,
each with a private bath, carpeting and window treatments.
One of the rooms has a lovely woodland view and the
other has a beautiful view of the lawn, trees and wildlife.
Should you be interested in seeing each one, please
feel free to contact us.
There
is a large Common Room with a fireplace, a craft and
activity area, a
modern, fully-appointed kitchen for making snacks and
treats, as well as a
small parlor for intimate gatherings or family visits.
A Fresh Idea of Sheltered Living
As practicing Christian Scientists, residents
and staff do not accept declining health and the need
for ongoing nursing care as an inevitable outcome of
advancing years, but affirm the continuity of spiritual
growth, timeless being, health, independence, and dominion.
Therefore,
The Residences is not considered a "continuing
care facility", and there is no predetermined length
of stay.
The
Residences has developed as a distinct ministry
of Lynn House of Potomac Valley, Inc. It is undergirded
by the Lynn House nursing mission - to cherish and support
the practice of Christian Science, as discovered by
Mary Baker Eddy, with its expectancy of quick and whole
healing, and to provide spiritually-based nursing care
that is in accordance with the Manual of The Mother
Church by Mary Baker Eddy.
Services and Staff
The Residences is professionally and prayerfully
staffed by a Director of Residential Services, a Residential
Manager, an Activities Coordinator, Christian Science
Residential Assistants, and the caring support staff
of Lynn House. If you are interested in sharing your
talents as a member of The Residences staff full time
or part-time, please contact us.
