Levels of Care
Christian Science nursing is based on a Christian foundation of understanding that healing is possible through God’s love of all of His children. Christian Science nurses demonstrate this tender care of God for His creation through the presence of their spiritual reassurance and attending to physical needs.
Sheltered Living
One early evening as I was taking a walk around Sunland the lights were on in the Sun Room. I looked in to see a nurse helping a patient with her dinner. The scene was so lovely, the patience and care obvious, and smiles. I feel comfortably at home living at Sunland. My joy is full.
My dear friends, I want to thank you for the joy of staying at Sunland this past weekend. I was in need of a quiet place to pray and study, and you provided it. I truly felt the healing Christ expressed by every staff member. Thank you all for making my stay absolutely perfect in every way, with deepest gratitude.
Words cannot express my deep gratitude for the calm, yet joyous healing atmosphere surrounding my two plus weeks stay. I rejoice in the healing of the physical belief, of course, but most importantly is the change of thought that took place due to uninterrupted days of deep study of the Bible and our dear Leader’s writings – a priceless gift!
