Area Served
Located near our Nation's capital, Lynn House serves the nursing needs of Christian Scientists located primarily within the surrounding six-state area.

Services Provided
Lynn House provides Christian Science nursing care to patients who choose to rely exclusively on prayer for healing and arrange for daily treatment from a Christian Science practitioner listed in The Christian Science Journal. Please note that charges for treatment from a Christian Science practitioner are not included on Lynn House invoices but are billed separately by the practitioner.

Lynn House offers the following nursing services:

Christian Science Nursing Care: for those needing the nursing skills, judgment, and spiritual readiness of a Journal-listed Christian Science nurse.
(Christian Science Nursing Care is covered by Medicare for those eligible; it is also covered by some private insurance companies.)

Christian Science Care: for those needing lighter nursing care that can be given by a student nurse. (Medicare does not cover this type of care; very few insurance companies will pay for this category.)

Rest and Study: for those seeking a healing atmosphere in which to pray and study, free from intrusions of the world. We offer three meals a day with access to our lovely grounds and to the library, which has Concord, bound volumes, the Christian Science Bible Lesson, and the Christian Science Monitor. (Rest and Study guests should be completely independent, needing no assistance or nursing care.)

Christian Science Visiting Nurse Service: We are able to send Christian Science nurses from Lynn House to private homes on a short term basis.

Outpatient Care: A Christian Science Journal-listed nurse is available on a walk-in basis for adults or children needing immediate care and assistance, such as cleansing and bandaging. (Please call in advance to let us know if you would like to use this service.)

Opportunities for Christian Science Nurses Training: A ten-week introductory course is offered periodically for those interested in exploring the possibility of a Christian Science nursing vocation. (Please contact Lynn House by mail or by phone for further information.)

Residential Assisted Living Program: Please turn to the section called Assisted Living for more details about this porgram.
