Financial Assistance
Limited financial assistance is available from Arden Wood as well as other funding resources. Some insurance policies include home nursing care, which our Business Office can help you determine. Medicare does not pay for the cost of Christian Science nursing in the home.
The National Fund for Christian Science Nursing (a.k.a. the National Fund) invites anyone receiving Christian Science practitioner and/or Christian Science nursing care to apply for financial assistance. This fund will support patients receiving any level of care at home or in a Christian Science care facility. The application is short, and funding decisions are made quickly.
