About Us

Christian Science Nurse Service of New Hampshire provides practical, hands-on care to individuals relying on Christian Science for healing, typically in the home. We work in short visits, normally not exceeding 2 hours.

Our Christian Science nurses assess your current needs to determine the practical wisdom and proper care to meet those needs, and whether our brief visits are sufficient. We assist with personal care, such as bathing, shampoos, dressing, fingernail and toenail care, mobility, nourishment, cleansing and bandaging needs, while fostering an environment conducive to spiritual healing through prayer.

That includes reading to you from Christian Science literature. We can also guide family members with correct practical steps that support healing progress. If there is a need for longer periods of care, we can direct you to resources to find a private duty Christian Science nurse who can stay in your home for a while, or to consider an admission to a Christian Science nursing facility.
