The roots of Redwood Community For Christian Scientists go back to around 1993, when members from Sonoma County churches came together to find a way to support older church members in need of care. Through careful consideration and prayer, the facility was incorporated and gained nonprofit status. In 2005, Agnes Buttle, C.S., generously left her duplex to Redwood Community, where the facility continues to operate today. Although there was a period of temporary closure between 2017-2019, Redwood Community reopened in 2020 with the assistance of Fern Lodge, a Christian Science nursing facility in Castro Valley, California.
Redwood Community For Christian Scientists operates on the basis of serving up to five residents at a time, with the flexibility to discuss individual cases. As a tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, donations can be made to support their services. The facility prioritizes privacy and confidentiality, ensuring that all correspondence and interactions are kept secure. Redwood Community is committed to providing a supportive and healing environment for individuals who are seeking Christian Science nursing care in a nurturing and compassionate setting.
