The
Residences at Lynn House is a sanctuary
for the progressive practice of Christian Science. Here
you, along with other active students of Christian Science,
can find sheltered living with the availability of light
Christian Science nursing care and support.
At
The Residences, you can fashion a simple,
lovely home in a prayerful community - a spiritually
nurturing atmosphere supporting growth and regeneration.
Located on the lovely, rolling grounds of Lynn House,
The Residences is situated in a quiet neighborhood,
just 15 minutes from downtown Washington, DC. Residents
will discover a wide range of resources for shopping
and activities easily available in the area. For example,
Ford Ward Park, just across the street, provides a wonderful
place to stroll and to attend outdoor concerts and events.
The
Residences at Lynn House is eager to welcome
you!
There are six beautiful single rooms, where the residents
have brought their treasured furnishings, and made the
space their own. At present we have a waiting list and
you are welcome to inquire, should you wish to place
your name on it.
There
is a lovely Common Room with a fireplace, a craft and
activity area, a
modern, fully-appointed kitchen for making snacks and
treats, as well as a
small parlor for intimate gatherings or family visits.
A Fresh Idea of Sheltered Living
As practicing Christian Scientists, residents
and staff do not accept declining health and the need
for ongoing nursing care as an inevitable outcome of
advancing years, but affirm the continuity of spiritual
growth, timeless being, health, independence, and dominion.
Therefore,
The Residences is not considered a "continuing
care facility", and there is no predetermined length
of stay.
The
Residences has developed as a distinct ministry
of Lynn House of Potomac Valley, Inc. It is undergirded
by the Lynn House nursing mission - to cherish the practice
of Christian Science, as discovered by Mary Baker Eddy,
with its expectancy of quick and whole healing, and
to provide spiritually-based nursing care that is in
accordance with the Manual of The Mother Church
by Mary Baker Eddy.

The Residences is professionally and prayerfully
staffed by a Director of Residential Services, a Residential
