The Christian Science Visiting Nurse Service for Michigan is a service provided to Christian Scientists, offering Christian
Science nursing care to patients who are working with a Journal listed Christian Science practitioner, and who wish to receive care in the home. Our Christian Science nurses are listed in the Christian Science Journal and are not medical nurses.
They do not administer drugs or medicine of any kind as part of their care. The Christian Science nursing scope of practice stating what we do
and do not do, is outlined in a printable document by

Assistance Provided:
Our Home Helper Classes:

We provide one-day workshops for members of The Mother Church or
a Christian Science branch church who would like to learn how to give basic
minimal assistance in the home. Home Helpers are contacted on an individual basis.
They are also contracted independently of our service. Home helpers are available to help individuals
who need simple aid in their home which does not require bandaging or full nursing care.
