ADMISSION
Who can come to Redwood Community?
Redwood Community provides Christian Science nursing care in a homelike atmosphere for students of Christian Science. We accept students of Christian Science who need some kind of nursing and are relying on prayer exclusively for healing. We do not administer medication or provide a diagnosis. Additionally, we may sometimes accept people with independent or assisted living needs if it seems like a good fit.
Call us at 707-542-2562, if the phone goes to voice mail, please leave a message with your name, telephone number, and a brief description of the need, and a staff member will return your call soon.
If we have an opening and you have been requested to download our admission form, please download and print out the admission packet: download Admission Application.
About US
How did Redwood Community get started?
Around 1993, a number of members from the Sonoma County churches began prayerfully considering how to help their older church members who needed care in the area. Step by step, they incorporated and gained their non-profit status. Agnes Buttle, C.S., left her duplex to Redwood Community in 2005, which is where Redwood Community continues to be today. Redwood temporarily ceased operations between 2017-2019. Redwood reopened its doors in 2020 with the help of Fern Lodge, a Christian Science nursing facility in Castro Valley, CA.
While Fern Lodge is no longer involved in Redwood Community’s operations, we’re grateful for all their assistance which included major renovations to its interior and re-landscaping to make the front yards water-wise.
