Financial & Legal Assistance
“The human affections need to be changed from self to benevolence and love for God and man, changed to having but one God and loving Him supremely, and helping our brother man.”
Miscellaneous Writings
Mary Baker Eddy
It is the right of each Christian Scientist to demonstrate the healing power of Truth and Love. Sometimes practical wisdom also requires the services of a Christian Science nurse. Our desire is that those seeking Christian Science healing, who require proper nursing care, should not be deprived of those services for financial reasons alone. Further, it’s a privilege for the Christian Science community to come together to support their “brother-man” to access Christian Science nursing care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for assistance?
Christian Scientists living in Indiana and nearby communities in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois who desire Christian Science nursing care and who have established financial need through an application process may qualify.
Applicants must be getting care from a qualified Christian Science Nurse* at home or in a facility, and must be working with a Journal listed Christian Science practitioner. The fund benefits individuals by payment directly to the facility, nurse or practitioner or through reimbursement for expenses directly incurred by the individual for their care. Midland at Home is a secondary source of aid.
Those who have gone through the process of requesting assistance from the National Fund for Christian Science Nursing (NFCSN) and still require additional funds, may apply to the Midland Fund.
* One should be working with a Christian Science Nurse. Our guidelines for a Christian Science nurse are as stated in the Manual of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ Scientist, Boston, MA, Article VIII, Section 31.”
How is Eligibility Determined?
An application establishing genuine need and commitment to spiritual healing is submitted to the Midland Board. The application must be signed by the facility representative or the Christian Science Nurse who is providing the home care. Every applicant and their nursing case are handled with the utmost confidentiality.
The Midland Board makes the determination based on individual need and available resources. Primary responsibility for meeting the nursing costs rests with the patient/family/custodian, who is encouraged to explore every possible avenue of support from their Branch Church, Christian Science student association, insurance, deferred payment options, and assignment of assets.
We help defray nursing costs only, not associated bills such as food, lodging, assisted living, or rest and study.
How does Midland at Home differ from other funds?
Medicare does not provide assistance for home nursing. There are also restrictions on the use of Medicare in nursing facilities. Short stays and long stays may not qualify for Medicare.
