There are many definitions of "assisted living." We have defined it as residential living in a Christian Science setting with care provided by or under the supervision of a Christian Science nurse.
If this sounds like a helpful arrangement for your situation, please take a look at this resource. It provides a brief description and contact information for organizations and facilities that accommodate Christian Scientists requiring some assistance. (Note: the name of the service at each facility is in parentheses.)
