Carolina Haven provides up-to-date information of a nursing care nature and can answer questions about the proper care of a physical need. This could be:
* Care of a wound
* Meal modifications for someone with an eating difficulty

* Facilities for Christian Science nursing care
* Air and ground travel arrangements to Christian Science facilities
* Residential homes for Christian Scientists

* Wills and powers-of attorney
Carolina Haven offers the following programs:

* Helping Hands Workshops (available on request for church members to learn practical ways to help fellow church members)
* Mentoring Program (the Christian Science Nurse Coordinator is available to mentor those seeking additional Christian Science nursing skills to become Journal listed nurses)
Branch Churches of Christ, Scientist can also arrange for a Carolina Haven Board Member or the Christian Science Nurse Coordinator to speak by calling 1-800-538-7296. Care committees are always welcome to call to ask practical or ethical questions about caring for members or to ask for a visit by the Christian Science Nurse Coordinator.
These services are provided by the Carolina Haven Foundation to show that Christian Scientists can care for their own within the Christian Science community.
