Creekside Light Care
Creekside helps meet the needs of Christian Scientists to continue their demonstration of home in a sheltered, structured environment, with services and activities that would:
Encourage, stimulate, and support their quest to continue their study and practice of Christian Science so as to challenge and overcome many aspects of the so-called aging process through spiritual growth, regeneration and healing.
Promote normalcy, filled with engaged interest, vigorous and purposeful activity in an atmosphere free of medical intrusion.
Offer a home that is safe, attractive, comfortable, and affordable, and provide freedom from many of the routine cares involved in maintaining homes completely on their own.
Creekside is a key element in The Leaves' determination to broaden its mission to assist greater numbers of students of Christian Science to successfully deal with the wider variety of challenges confronting them today.

“I was so grateful to have come for a two-week trial at The Leaves. This allowed me the opportunity to prepare my family and belongings before making the move to Texas – and what a wonderful move it was! I am so appreciative of the good cooking, housekeeping and laundry services, and the wonderful residential staff. All the staff encourages independence but is happy to step in and assist with what is needed. They are all very caring and serious about demonstrating Christian Science, which is evident and vital! I cannot suggest living here enough! It’s so nice to be able to study the Bible Lesson with other Christian Scientists. It’s also lovely to join in activities like a Book Club. The grounds are beautiful! I love to share and give back to Christian Science by loving and praying for my place in this facility and community. I am so grateful to be here and have the opportunity to be partaking in this tender ministry that Mary Baker Eddy envisioned in her Manual bylaw.”
