Nighttime Care Testimonials

Dear Desiree,

Jane, Benjamin and I owe you our sanity.  I must admit, being a Pediatrician, I was somewhat skeptical when Jane said she heard of this “amazing baby whisperer” that can get babies sleeping through the night by 2-3 months.  We spoke to a few other couples that had given their account of your miracle ways, and we were sold.

Words cannot describe the warmth, patience, and overall calming presence you brought into our home and Benjamin’s life.  During our most overwhelming and stressful period, you were the calm around the storm.  We tried to crack your shell of patience with our Type A personalities, but you wouldn’t budge.  Every question was answered as if it was the first time we asked.  We cannot quantify the collective sigh of relief when you came in the front door the first night we brought our little man home.  You explained why you have had success in the past and what would help us in creating a plan that would work for our family.  Not every family is alike, and you took the time to get to know us and what would be best for our lifestyle.

Thank you for being there for us, and your continued help. We hope to one day bring home a little brother or sister for Benjamin.  Meet you in the driveway when that day comes! Until then, we look forward to more of your wisdom and passing along to our friends the secret to our success.

The Berkowitz Family

So it’s been just over 2 weeks since Baby M was born, and all is going well.  As a matter of fact, most people that see me, a first time mom, in action, are telling me I seem pretty calm.  I have to credit this calmness to Desiree Nessline of Arizona Baby Services.

Thankfully, I met Desiree through another first time mom (thanks Lori M) and planned ahead (aka booked her services months in advance), so that Desiree was able to spend our first 48 hours at home with us and the baby.  Desiree is not only a night nurse.  She’s a newborn specialist and her services include:

  • Nighttime Care
  • Infant Sleep Training
  • Infant Sleep Consulting
  • Infant Care Consulting
  • Correction of “Poor Sleep Habits”
  • Reflux/Colic Relief
  • Around the Clock Infant Care (24/7)
  • Preemie Care
  • Multiples Care
  • Preparing Baby’s Nursery
  • Short Term Night Nanny
  • Short Term Day Nanny
  • Traveling Duty

Basically, Desiree is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything and everything baby-related.  She helped me with preparing for the baby, the essentials I needed for the nursery, getting the baby on a sleep schedule, breast-feeding, pumping, swaddling, diaper changing, and so much more!  Even after the time that Desiree spent with us, she’s made herself available to answer questions of all sorts… I am sure I will continue to use Desiree’s services in the future as needed and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help whether you’re a first-time mom or if you have experience already.  She is trustworthy, extremely talented and passionate about what she does, and fun to be around too.

My only advice: call her asap as she books out way ahead of time!

The Messenger Family

As a first time mother, having extremely premature identical triplets daughters was scary and daunting. When I brought them home after 13 1/2 weeks in the NICU, it was round the clock chaos. The best thing I could have done was to call Desiree. Not only did she provide me some much needed nights sleep, but she was extremely helpful in helping me get them on a schedule and on their way to healthy sleep patterns which eventually got them sleeping through the night earlier than I’d imagined. She gave me excellent advice all along the way. I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done to help me keep my sanity during those crazy first couple of months they were home. I’d highly recommend her to anyone wanting to hire a baby nurse to get their newborn’s early days on the right track.

The Jansen-Brisbane Family

Prior to the birth of our son, several friends and acquaintances urged us to consider hiring a baby sleep specialist. As proponents, they were emphatic about the positive results for their children and for themselves as parents. As we researched the topic, as well as professionals in the area, Desiree Nessline’s name rose to the surface as an outstanding provider. Desiree’s client list included three families we are familiar with.

In interviewing Desiree, her knowledge and passion for babies and children was immediately evident. Desiree was engaging, warm and enthusiastic and anxious to share her experiences and techniques. Her professionalism and personality made her a perfect fit for our family.

We contracted with Desiree to assist with teaching us how to care for our new born son, and to develop an eating and sleeping plan. During the first week home with our newborn, Desiree patiently taught us feeding, bathing, swaddling and sleeping techniques and schedules. Over the course of the following weeks, Desiree stayed overnight tending to our Son while we were able to sleep and rest, a significant factor in my wife’s rapid recovery from her C-Section.

As promised, our Son is now on an eating and sleeping schedule that works for him and he’s a very happy 4 month old baby. He sleeps from 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M each day without fail. His napping and eating schedule is consistent and works for him, my wife and me. In short, we could not have wished for a better outcome. My wife and I are equally well rested and able to enjoy Mommy and Daddy time each evening.

We look forward to working with Desiree when our second child arrives, and we strongly and without reservation recommend Desiree. We would be happy to discuss our positive experience with any of her potential clients.

The Vallone-Claflin Family

We literally sleep better at night knowing that Desiree is caring for our babies. We hired Desiree at Arizona Baby Services during the first trimester. Her help preparing for the arrival of the twins greatly reduced our anxiety during the pregnancy. Desiree regularly kept in touch during the gestation to answer questions, prepare the nursery and ensure she was aware of any eventualities.

Desiree began caring for our babies the first night we were home from the hospital. As you might imagine, we were a little unraveled and she was awesome. Her experience greatly reduced our anxiety and she helped guide us through those first few weeks with much less stress and lots of sleep! Desiree allowed both of us to sleep as much as possible given the constraints of breastfeeding. I was regularly able to sleep overnight and I continued to practice without issue. My wife was able to sleep in large uninterrupted blocks and Desiree’s help with breastfeeding greatly improved my wife’s nights. I can not begin to explain the benefits of sleep; however, I will state empathetically that we are both better parents and partners when we are rested. It has made all the difference in the world. We actually enjoyed the first three months of our babies lives. We have no doubt that Desiree’s experience and techniques have lead to happier babies and that is evident by the fact that at 12 weeks, they are happily sleeping from 7pm-7am every night!

The Harris Family

This letter is to serve as the highest recommendation possible for Desiree Nessline. My husband and I initially met Desiree at our Jewish Baby University Class, where she came to educate several families on the basics of newborn care. I was so impressed with her tremendous knowledge of infants, their development and care, and sleep training. Her kind, gentle manner and professional expert advice for the new parents were invaluable. I knew I just had to hire her!

We then had Desiree come for an in-home consultation, as our baby not get on a schedule and would not sleep at night or for naps. In fact, he was only sleeping for 20 minute intervals. Desiree was a LIFESAVER! She immediately came to our rescue and helped put our baby on a schedule with feedings and naps. It was amazing how our son responded. She also taught us swaddling, bathing, diaper changing, feeding and everything in between. When Desiree became available, we hired her for infant sleep training, surprisingly leaving us at the end of six weeks with our baby sleeping through the night! Desiree’s knowledge and help was crucial and she has certainly impacted not only our lives, but that of our baby’s as well. When it was time for her to leave, we felt confident to care for our little bundle of joy.

Desiree is a wonderful baby nurse, who shows extraordinary gentility, and provides tender care for her little patients. As new parents, we were so thankful for the guidance that she offered, and the peace of mind her presence provided. We are so grateful for her loving hands and infinite knowledge, especially at 3 am! We were so fortunate to start our “new lives” with her help and support. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home. We will hire her again when we hopefully have another child. Any family would be so lucky to work with her. Desiree is a complete professional with a warm, personal touch.

The Feinstein Family

My name is Alexander, and I was born the day before Thanksgiving in 2010, a whole month early. We were working with another baby nurse to help sleep train me before Mommy had to go back to work — Mommy and Daddy are both attorneys, which means they are Very Busy People who sometimes need to do attorney-things after I go to sleep. But our baby nurse only worked during the weekdays, and suggested Desiree as my weekend sleep buddy. My parents could not have made a better choice in hiring her! Mommy and Daddy were very uneasy when I was born, since I was their first baby — a preemie, even — and neither of them had any experience with such little creatures. Every evening Desiree came to take care of me, she would ask them about my day, and sit with them to see if they had any questions or concerns about how I was doing. Desiree was so helpful in providing advice and really just being there for them. Talking with Desiree, who is a very warm, caring person and very knowledgeable about the secret ways and habits of babies like myself, always made them feel better. Not to mention that Desiree was a wonderful sleep buddy for me! Everyone commented that I always seemed to sleep the best on the weekends, when she was there watching over me. Desiree was my weekend sleep buddy for almost three months. This was a huge help for Mommy especially, since she was pumping every few hours during the night at first. I was a challenge to sleep-train, especially since I had some reflux problems and was rather fond of crying several times during the night for some attention and a bottle. But little by little, Desiree helped stretch me from a point where I was getting four small bottles per night, to where I only needed one! Unfortunately, Desiree had to leave before I was completely sleep-trained due to a prior commitment, but she made sure to set us up with a colleague to see me through to the end. And sure enough, within a few weeks after Mommy went back to work, I was sleeping through the night completely — from 7:30pm until 7:15am! I am now over six months old, and still sleeping soundly through the night, which Mommy and Daddy are very thankful for.

The Akbar Family

I’m not a first time mom, and when I hired Desiree at Arizona Baby Services, I assumed it was all about one thing: Sleep.
As in, she would come, I would sleep. A perfect situation.

It turned out to be about more than that.

Desiree is a genius with babies.
My baby wasn’t particularly easy.
She spit up a ton: Desiree knew what to do.
She liked to be awake for two hours from midnight until 2am: Desiree knew how to fix that.
She screamed in the bathtub: Desiree had a recommendation, bath time became a pleasure.
She liked to eat every two hours all night long: Desiree trained her to not require food in the night by seven weeks old.

Yes, at first it was all about sleep – and it still is, a little. But in reality, it has been about swaddles and burping, baths & establishing good habits. I’m not sleep deprived, but neither is my baby…and THAT is priceless. You and your baby are in good hands with Desiree.

The Rendelman Family

It is an honor and privilege to recommend Desiree Nessline as a Newborn Care Specialist/ Night Nurse. She lived with us for two weeks and for six weeks came to our home in the evenings. We feel so good about the start we have given our baby in his life and for us as a family. It is so overwhelming to come home from the hospital with a newborn baby. Our little guy also had to spend one week in the NICU. Desiree has had plenty of experiences with all different babies from multiples to babies with health issues. We have a beautiful baby boy who is a great sleeper, has a comfortable routine but can also be flexible. Desiree receives the credit for these gifts. She is so warm, caring, loving and confident. She knows babies so unbelievably well. She taught us how to hold him, how to burp him, how to read his different cries and most importantly to relax and enjoy him. She gained our immediate trust for our greatest treasure. Desiree made us feel so confident and organized as new parents. We love giving our baby a bath because Desiree taught us so patiently while she was in our home. It was important to me to nurse our baby. When I had questions or concerns Desiree was a tremendous resource. It was Desiree who first noticed that our baby boy had a hernia and was persistent about it even when it went unnoticed by our pediatrician.

If Desiree is available to take care of your baby you need to hire her immediately. She is worth every penny. Instead of feeling completely overwhelmed, we felt like human beings. So many of our friends state that the first couple of months with a newborn is horrible. My husband and I can honestly say that when we first brought our baby home we were truly able to enjoy him. Having Desiree helped us to be able to sleep, yes we as new parents got a decent amount of sleep and we are hands on parents. I was able to recover from a c-section delivery. In addition, getting sleep helped me nurse since my milk supply came in much better. My husband and I could not believe that we actually went out to dinner as a couple during the first week that we brought our baby home from the hospital.

We were nervous about having another adult in our home but Desiree always had such a good instinct for when to give our family alone time. She is extremely self-sufficient and does not need entertainment. If anything, we really enjoyed spending time with her. She is inspirational as a person and as a mother to her two children. She is such a breath of fresh air. We feel so blessed that such an amazing person was a part of our beginning memories as first time parents. There is no question that she cares deeply for our son. In fact, she has recently called to stop by to see him because she misses him so much. Desiree is the reason why my husband and I began as parents feeling healthy, happy and excited. I give her my highest recommendation and strongly urge you to hire her immediately. We certainly plan on it when we are blessed to have a second baby.

The Burech Family

Having Desiree as our night nurse has changed our lives! She came into our home during the day, for 5 days and changed the whole dynamics of it in that short amount of time. Our son was 7 weeks old and had reflux and colic, according to our pediatrician. I had made an appointment with the G.I. Specialist to help get some sort of relief for him and us. I also had Desiree come in to put our son on an eating and sleeping schedule and within the 5 days that Desiree was here, she put him on such a schedule and he was responding to it so unbelievably well, that she felt he didn’t actually have reflux or colic at all. We cancelled our appointment with the G.I. Specialist after seeing dramatic differences in our son. Desiree actually informed us that he was being over fed and under slept. She worked with him, and us, all week and by the end of the first day even, he was a much happier baby. The difference was night and day. She also worked with me to help understand why certain things needed to be done and helped support me emotionally as we worked with our son to establish a schedule. She has so much knowledge and really knows babies. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for her. She has made our home a happy place to be and we will forever be in her debt.

The Savage Family

Desiree is a wonderful and warm baby nurse whom we immediately felt comfortable entrusting the care of our second child. She is a complete professional, from arriving on time, to washing her hands prior to touching our child, to her detailed notes of events throughout the night, to her fair billing policies and procedures. She has tremendous knowledge of infants, their development and care, and sleep training. We spent many nights tapping our brain regarding questions about sleep training and our son’s development. She would always explain the pro’s and the con’s of each direction and then let us decides what we felt most comfortable for us. Once we made a decision, she would always support us 100%. She also kept a regular log of our son’s feedings, attitude and overall health. She did everything she could to help our son sleep through the night including offering the use of her “miracle blanket.” She spent time going over how to use this complicated wonder and it is now part of our regular nighttime routine. She even pointed out abnormal skin patterns, which we later brought to the attention our physician. She was also a terrific resource regarding breast-feeding. She supported my wife and helped make the process positive and comfortable. Each night of her employ, we would immediately relax knowing that Desiree was caring for our child. This allowed us to rest and prepare for the next day’s excitement. Desiree was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, professionalism, and caring attitude were present each and every night without fail. We are honored and pleased to have known her and had the benefit of her assistance.

The Feldman Family

It is with great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. She came highly recommended to us from another NCS. She started when our babies were 1 week old and was our Newborn Care Specialist for 8 weeks. When she started with us, we immediately felt comfortable with her. When she first came in she could tell we were overwhelmed. She thoroughly explained what her role was to be and really put our minds at ease. She was a tremendous resource to us and really helped us to fully enjoy our experience as first time parents.Desiree is very punctual and professional. She has so much knowledge and true love for her job and that really shows in everything she does. Also, we were able to catch up on much needed sleep and we never once worried about our babies when they were in her capable hands. Desiree was able to help me get the babies on a day/night schedule. She is also very observant and brought to our attention that one of the babies was beginning to develop a flat head and we took immediate action to help correct this. She also made a reflux nest for the crib, as one of our babies had reflux. Again, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Desiree. She made such a huge difference in our home and we will, without any hesitation, recommend her to any and everyone that we know that has a baby or is getting ready to have a baby.

The Zigron Family

Desiree Nessline worked as our night nurse for our family from April 1st – June 30th, 2008. She took amazing care of our newborn son.

The Mishkin Family

Desiree was our newborn care specialist for our son during his first 5 weeks of life. She was extremely loving, gentle, and attentive to him, which was so important to us. She was a delight to have in our home, and we knew our son was in excellent hands. She was also an amazing resource to us. She helped us understand breastfeeding and his eating and sleeping habits, as well as answer questions we had regarding his overall well being. My husband and I always had questions or ideas about sleep training and daily routines…Desiree would always explain the pro’s and con’s, but go with what was most comfortable for us. She kept extremely detailed notes of each night with the baby, so we knew what was going on with the little guy. Desiree was always clean, reliable, responsible, punctual and professional. She was even willing to come early on occasion, so that my husband and I could have an evening out .We would absolutely recommend Desiree Nessline to someone that is looking for a Newborn Care Specialist. It is so obvious that she loves her job and the infants that she cares for.

The Langbein Family

It is with great pleasure that I write a letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. She was our night nurse from August 1, 2006 through September 17, 2006. Desiree not only exceptionally performed all her duties as a night nurse, exceeding all our expectations, but also was an integral, positive part of our daughter’s first weeks of life.

Desiree eagerly began her responsibilities from the moment we returned home from the hospital with our daughter. Beyond duties as a night nurse, she took on the role as our educator. Desiree shared her vast knowledge and experience of infants with us by example, in addition to numerous hands-on guidance. One of the most important aspects or working with Desiree was for her assistance in getting our daughter on a schedule (eating, sleeping, etc.). I am proud to write that with Desiree’s help, our daughter was on an ideal schedule and sleeping through the night at six weeks of age.

Throughout her time with us, Desiree was always extremely professional, punctual and demonstrated great pride in her ability. Our needs changed during the time that Desiree was working with us as we realized we needed more help than we originally planned and contracted. Desiree was flexible and able to accommodate our requests. In addition, we hired Desiree to stay in our home with our daughter while we were away for a twenty- four hour period. Desiree not only took wonderful care of our daughter, but also was extremely responsible in caring for our home.

I am honored to have had the pleasure of working with Desiree Nessline. Our daughter’s health, happiness and advanced development are all proof of Desiree’s outstanding abilities. I recommend her to any family that is fortunate to hire her as their night nurse.

The Raskin Family

First Letter of Recommendation

It is with great pleasure that I write a second letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. She was our night nurse for our first daughter in 2006. When I found out I was pregnant again, Desiree was the second phone call I made (after my husband). After such great success with our first daughter, it was essential that we hire Desiree as our night nurse for our next child. And, once again, Desiree not only met all our expectations, she exceeded them. Desiree eagerly began her responsibilities from the moment we returned home from the hospital with our daughter.

Beyond her duties as a night nurse, she took on the role as our educator. Desiree shared her vast knowledge and experience of infants with us by example, in addition to numerous discussions and hands-on guidance. One of the most important aspects of working with Desiree was for her assistance in getting our daughter on a schedule (eating, sleeping, etc.). I am proud to write that with Desiree’s help, our daughter was on an ideal schedule and sleeping through the night at seven weeks of age.

Throughout her time with us, Desiree was always extremely professional, punctual and conscientious and demonstrated great pride in her ability. Additionally, she made herself available to help train our daytime nanny on newborn sleep training. Desiree took a personal interest in our daughter’s life; even after her job with us, she wanted to ensure our daughter’s well-being. I am honored to have had the pleasure of working with Desiree Nessline on two occasions. Both of our daughters’ health, happiness and advanced development are all proof of Desiree’s outstanding abilities. I highly recommend her to any family that is fortunate to hire her as their night nurse.

The Raskin Family

Second Letter of Recommendation

Desiree came highly recommended to us from several of our “family friends.” We hired her in May and she was there for our family the moment we came home from the hospital with our third child. With us already having two young children at home, she helped make the transition of bringing home our baby easy for everyone. Desiree is extremely professional and has a great gift with babies. She is very loving and caring, even our older kids loved her right away. She was there for me to help me with breastfeeding, organizing the nursery, feeding and bathing the baby and to give me the emotional support I needed. The most amazing thing she did though was to help our baby to sleep through the night by 10 weeks. Our baby is now the best sleeper in the whole house! We did not have to go through the sleepless nights that we experienced with our first two babies. Our baby is a very happy baby because he is getting the sleep he needs and we are much happier parents because we are also getting the sleep we need. Instead of being sleep deprived, we are truly able to enjoy and cherish these times with our beautiful family… that is priceless and we owe it all to Desiree. If you have the chance to hire her as your Newborn Care Specialist, do so right away. She is a phenomenal resource and infant sleep trainer and was worth every penny.

The Marks Family

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline out of pure thankfulness and appreciation of her! I absolutely do not know what we would have done without her guidance. We are first time parents and needed help right when we got home from the hospital. Her professionalism and expertise were just what we needed, from helping us learn to change a diaper, give a bath, sleep scheduling (our 3 month old sleeps though the night!), breastfeeding tips, swaddling, etc. we really learned a lot! What I really admire about Desiree is that after she finished working with us her sincere care about our baby. She is always willing to answer questions over the phone or e-mail. She is accessible, flexible, and wants what is absolute best for the baby. You can tell right away from meeting her that she is a passionate baby lover. I would give my highest recommendation to any new parents to have Desiree in their home. Please feel free to contact me with any questions if you are considering hiring her because I am sure you will be able to tell how ecstatic we were to have her by speaking with us!

The Pulver Family

What can we say that others before us have not already said? Until babies start coming out with instruction manuals, she is the next best thing. We were hesitant to entrust our newborn to a stranger, but after speaking with friends and family who worked with her, we gave in. She is amazing! She made the first month of our daughter’s life a pleasure, even relaxing. When we had our first two children, our house was like a circus trying to figure everything out. Our daughter is 4 weeks old and she has better sleep habits now than our 5 and 3 year old. For anybody who wants a little sleep and sanity during this wonderful time, Desiree is the answer.

The Feldman Family

It is with great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. Desiree was initially hired to be our Baby Nurse for our new born baby from December 16- 30. We were so delighted with Desiree; we extended her employment until February 1.

As new parents we realized that when we left the hospital our baby didn’t come with an instruction manual. We relied heavily on Desiree to assist us with all aspects of our new venture. Desiree was take charge and showed us everything we could have possibly asked for. Desiree explained and showed us how all of the new items for our baby worked. This entailed everything from bottle sterilization to swaddling and everything in between. Desiree not only showed us how to perform these tasks, but also explained to us why and how they will benefit our child.

Our baby responded beautifully to the ways Desiree interacted with her. Desiree knew at every time why our baby was crying or being fussy. She helped us understand those needs and showed us how to accommodate them.

Desiree was extremely accommodating to our needs as she worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for us during the first few weeks. Once we felt more comfortable as new parents, we transitioned to a 40 hour work week. Desiree was prompt and arrived at our home on time every night.

I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone who is looking for a Baby Nurse. I have referred her to all of our friends that are expecting. I know she will meet and exceed all of your expectations!

The Pinkus Family

It is my pleasure to provide a letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. Desiree has worked for us from February 2, 2006 to the present, as both a 24 hour and nighttime newborn care specialist, for our new born child.

From the moment Desiree arrived, she provided guidance, caring, and support to help first time parents become more comfortable in caring the needs of our baby daughter. Coming home from the hospital with a 3 day old baby can be a traumatic event, but Desiree helped to make us feel competent and ensure all of our baby’s needs were taken care of. Since I had a C- section, it was difficult to get around, but Desiree provided tremendous support in helping me and my husband during these first few weeks of recovery. Desiree has so much knowledge, experience and genuine love for babies that shows in all she does and all that she has taught us.

Desiree was not only a newborn care specialist for our child, but a teacher for us as parents. From the basics of breastfeeding, to caring and bathing our child, to establishing a daily routine, Desiree has clearly helped during these most anxious times. She quickly established a great rapport with us as well as a very nurturing relationship with our daughter. Desiree is very reliable, always positive and cheerful and extremely trustworthy. As just one example of her incredible care and commitment, Desiree changed her personal plans and rushed to our house to care for our daughter when I had to be taken to the Emergency Room. In many ways, she has been more that a baby nurse and more of a part of our family!

Not only would we highly recommend Desiree to anyone seeking a baby nurse, we will surely seek her assistance if we are fortunate to have another child. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

The Qualantone Family

We highly recommend Desiree Nessline to anyone who has a newborn and wishes to train their baby to sleep through the night.

We hired Desiree to help us for 10 weeks after our son was born. Desiree was always very prompt, courteous and professional. We felt very comfortable entrusting our newborn to Desiree.

By the end of the 10 week period, our son was consistently sleeping through the night for a stretch of 12 hours. Desiree also was very observant and quickly notified us when our son was beginning to develop a flat head in the back and she provided us with corrective action which has worked.

Desiree was also a terrific resource regarding many other issues of our son’s care and development.

Desiree also helped us to re-train our two year old son to sleep through the night and to end his nightly tantrums.

We greatly appreciate the care which Desiree gave to our newborn son and we are pleased to have had her help.

The Lessler Family

Desiree Nessline was our Newborn Care Specialist immediately following the birth of our daughter. As first time parents, is was welcoming to see her upon our arrival home from the hospital. Desiree was a wealth of knowledge, education and support. She was loving, gentle and took much care with every interaction.

Desiree trained us as parents on how to care for our baby. She educated us on the basics of our daughter. Several things we learned were how to correctly swaddle, burp and bathe her. Perhaps the most helpful thing we learned from Desiree was getting into a routine and placing our daughter on a schedule specific to her personality and needs. This provided us with consistency and stability at a time when our lives changed completely. Desiree’s watchful eye helped alert possible problems and bad habits that would be detrimental to our daughter’s well being. She discussed these issues with us and gave us several different solutions to remedy them.

Desiree helped empower us as first time parents to gain the confidence and tools needs to do the job effectively. Not only was Desiree helpful in teaching us newborn care, she was also an incredible support system in regards to breastfeeding and after care for Mother. Desiree helped us with locating resources for further stages of development, as well as assured us that she would be available should we have any pressing questions or concerns.

It was comforting to watch as Desiree took care of our baby as if she was her own child. Without hesitation, we recommend her to provide services for any family in need of newborn care. She will be a valuable asset to any family seeking assistance.

The O'Neil Family

For a period exceeding ten weeks, Desiree Nessline worked for us as a Newborn Care Specialist for our daughter. The main focus of her job was centered on the issues inherent in the birth of a 27-week old, premature baby, but quickly developed into a more expansive role encompassing the care of our 2 year old, our pets and our home.

Desiree’s duties included, but were not limited to:

  • Placing our baby on a schedule.
  • Helping us understand how to work with our baby’s acid reflux.
  • The nightly feedings, administering medications throughout the night and monitoring of surgical issues from a stomach operation.
  • Care for our 2 year old during times of urgency.
  • Care of both children while we traveled out of the country for 5 days.
  • Care of our pets and our home while we traveled out of the country.
  • Urgent response availability while we overcame post-birth health issues.

We were extremely pleased with the trust and friendship that developed between Desiree and our family and highly recommend her to families requiring the utmost attention and care.We hope that you are fortunate enough to hire Desiree.

The Carnal Family

Desiree came highly recommended to me from two other families that had the opportunity to work with her. It was not until my twin girls came home that I realized what a blessing she truly was. I have learned so much from her and don’t know how I would have gotten through these early weeks without her.

Desiree is warm, professional, dependable, extremely knowledgeable and has a true passion for her job. She has taught me how to establish a routine that has my 9 week old daughters sleeping effortlessly through the night, even though they were 6 weeks premature and no one thought this was a possibility. Any questions I have had, she has answered with the wisdom of her experience and knowledge. She really seems to know everything there is to know about newborns!

I really can’t say enough great things about Desiree. She has made my first few months with my twins not only manageable, but truly more enjoyable than they would have ever been without her.

The Williams Family

It is with great honor and a pure privilege to write this letter of recommendation for Desiree Nessline. We started our search for a night nurse the week we found out we were pregnant. We asked friends, neighbors and co-workers who they had used, as we didn’t want to go through an agency. We wanted someone that came recommended from someone we knew and trusted. We came across Desiree Nessline’s name 8 times. It was a “no brainer” who we would bring into our home to work with us.

Desiree worked with our newborn son for 12 weeks. She worked with our son so he could sleep for a 12 hour stretch at night, which we are forever grateful for. Desiree is very down to earth, extremely comfortable to be around (which we were a bit worried about), trustworthy, punctual, professional, knowledgeable and definitely has a genuine love for her work that shines through. Desiree was flexible, coming in early if needed and always trying to be of help to our chaotic family. She definitely goes above and beyond! We loved having Desiree in our home and my family misses seeing her at night. (My older children LOVED her.) She stays in contact with us, making sure that we are doing well and things are going good.

We recommend her to all our our friends in need of a night nurse. She is the best!

The Wilson Family

I can’t express enough how thrilled we were that we hired Desiree to sleep train our newborn twins. After only 8 short weeks they were sleeping twelve hours a night! Not only is Desiree an expert in sleep training, but she is a wealth of knowledge and helped to guide us through all sorts of questions and things that came up in the first few months of our babies’ lives. As new parents with not much experience around infants this was extremely helpful. She helped put our minds at ease and truly made our experience as new parents SO much more enjoyable. We trust her completely and consider her as part of our family. We were even able to sneak away for a much needed Vegas trip without worrying at all because we knew our girls were in great hands…How priceless is that!!!

The Ben Aviv Family

Desiree is wonderful! She is so sweet, and takes into consideration all of the factors that affect you and your baby’s sleep. Her confident manner convinced me to follow her schedule even though I was hesitant to do so. Within 24 hours the proof was in the results! My baby slept more in the next few days than he had in a week of me trying everything I could think of. Desiree is always available to answer questions and provide advice. She checks in multiple times per day to make sure everything is going well for baby and parents, cheers on successes and creates solutions for lingering issues. Desiree is a baby whisperer!!! For your sanity and your baby’s health, the cost is well worth it; it’s an investment towards baby’s development and everyone’s happiness.

Bullying in the Three Services

DEFENCE BULLYING REPORT - RAF Worst of the Three Services

A recent report by the Equal Opportunities Audit Team has found that allegations of "a culture of widespread bullying and brutality" within the British Forces are, in the most part, unfounded. The audit team, which travelled to every Defence establishment across the UK and abroad and interviewed staff from all three services, found surprisingly few cases of unfair treatment and bullying within the Army and Navy.

When it came to the Airforce, however, the report told a different story. Complaints to the EOAT came from a total of 13,555 RAF members, compared with three from Navy and just one from Army.

While this statistic is alarming in its own right, it becomes horrific when one considers that each complaint represents a sad story of abuse, mistreatment and neglect. As one senior RAF officer put it, "Each story is, in itself, a sad indictment on the RAF. When taken as a whole, however, they demonstrate a reprehensible lack of regard for personnel on the part of RAF managers at all levels."

One young pilot told of having to spend two nights in tented accommodation, despite the fact that there was an empty five-star hotel just 1km away.

Another said that he had been forced to endure a gruelling fitness test every year since he joined in 1997.

One airwoman alleged that she had been overlooked for promotion on numerous occasions, simply because she was fat, lazy and stupid.

Shockingly, RAF Senior Ranks are also subject to mistreatment. One SNCO Flight Sergeant stated, "I was deeply upset when I was addressed as 'Flight Sergeant' by an officer. He knew my name was Robert. It was just horrible - I have never been more humiliated in my life." In response a senior RAF officer stated, "the officer in question has been moved on..."

A number of personnel complained of having to attend courses that were not relevant to their jobs, such as rigorous ground combat courses and drawn-out lectures on occupational health and safety. To add insult to injury, a young corporal was even ordered to pack up chairs in the classroom after one such course.

The huge backlash against treatment of Air Force personnel should provide senior officers with a vital clue with regard to the massive retention problems experienced by the RAF in recent times. Over the past two years, Defence has spent some Â£19.8 million looking into the issue.

Not all of the Air Force's hierarchy, however, were upset by the revelations. Said outgoing Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Errol Flynn, KCB CBE DSO ADC BSc(Eng) FRAeS RAF, "I'm delighted with the result. I am very happy that our retention problems are due, in the most part at least, to something as harmless as bullying. I thought everyone was leaving because of me."
I know it is an old one but, having served in a joint unit for the past two years I just have to say that EVERY word of it is true. The RAF are a breed unto themselves.
RAF Managers. Many a true word spoken in jest...
I was at Cranwell two months ago watching RAF recruits carrying a telegraph pole. Not fast , like "running " or anything , just carrying . Then they put it down and went for a walk .

Yep as biscuits said, an old one.

But you are correct Daytona, 'Jointery' is sh1te.
Biscuits_AB said:
Yep. Haven't heard that one for at least a fortnight now.
You miserable git!

Anyway, do have a good weekend! I'm off to Stonehenge with 40,000 of my closest chums to 'do the Solstice'!!
Did the report uncover the physical abuse as well? I hear that bra-snapping and suspender belt twanging is rife. No complaint from the females though.

Did you get to the henge queensman?
The Henge..... Nah! Had a change of heart - It was pishing with rain and frankly too bloody cold! I'm too old for that sort of caper these days.
Mind you, it was popular nonetheless. On the way home on Friday they were queuing up to get in, with the local pigs demonstrating how to make a simple traffic exercise into a complete and utter cake and arrse party. Give three short fat women a Hi Vis jacket and a funny hat each and they turn into arm waving Nazis.
Drove back into Salisbury on Saturday morning past a very sad sight - mud, broken down VW Combis, strange fellows with scruffy hair and inappropriate apparell littering the road sides! Good training for Glastonbury, I guess, but I wont be going to that!
There's always next year!

Help needed to identify Regiment

I have just joined in the hope that an expert on this forum can help me out. I have a picture of a relative in uniform and I wondered if anyone could identify his rank and regiment. The picture dates from WW2 time frame give or take a few years. looking forward hopefully to some good insights.

Evan Lewis, Dads brother..jpg
Royal Flying Corps, going by the ears.

Joking aside, the cap badge looks a bit like a dragon, so, a Welch regiment?
Or Royal Berks.....

Nope. Buffs.

As an aside, Saffers play Cricket at Buffalo Park in the port city of East London.That is near the Buffalo River.
The sports club is know as the Buffs, and has the East Kent badge.
The regiment was based there back in the 1800s
And wear buff-coloured kit.
Thanks guys for the responses so far. The Welch connection is something I might have expected as he was from Swansea. Is there enough info to guess at a rank?
Another vote for The Buffs. My first thought was The Wessex Regiment but then google put me right in that it didn't exist pre-1971

Surprised it's not The Rifles - everything else seems to be at the moment.
I thought the same, but look at respective depths of ground. Bloke was too good a soldier and the badge is shining back at us, though as you say, shape of the scroll bottom should be there.:smile:
The depth of ground is small, in my mind definitely not Buffs as the ground is way too small and Berkshire is a non starter for me, totally wrong shape.
It might be Brecknockshire as their title scroll was straight and quite narrow. Which brings us back to a better photo.
If a Swansea lad Brecknockshire is looking the most obvious. The badge fits and Brecknockshires had a location at Ystradgynlais, this is just North of Swansea.
Need a better photo of his arm, that will tell me all.
I have one more picture that probably doesn't help but thought I would post it anyway. Its a good job the ears dont run in the family....

Uncle Evan, date and location unknown.jpg
Scroll only, Brecknockshire.
mons has no scroll and buffs has more metal at the base. If you can get a picture of the badges on his arm that would help.

Wellcome Trust

The Wellcome Trust, a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health, asked our students to create art to display in the windows of its new London headquarters.

The Wellcome Trust teamed up with Camberwell BA Graphic Design lecturer, and internationally renowned artist, Sigune Hamann and students across various disciplines to commission a large-scale window display.

Following a site visit, students developed concepts, pitching them to a panel including Wellcome Trust leadership and curatorial staff. Ideas included performative, photographic and illustrative artwork.

Kate Forde, Senior Curator at Wellcome Trust, said: "We were delighted with the shortlisted proposals for the Wellcome Trust’s new windows commission which were thoughtful, imaginative and inspired. The students engaged with a challenging brief, showing real vision and commitment to working within our institution."

The winning piece, The Changing Perception of Images, was designed by Camberwell BA Graphic Design student Phoebe Argent.

A folded narrative of an urban dweller moving through space was installed in two 11 metre long windows with a production budget of £35,000.

The project was such a success that the Trust also commissioned the second place entry to the competition, Eye Contact, which was designed by Camberwell BA Graphic Design student Peter Hudson.

The Eye Contact video installation will be displayed throughout 2014 and consists of over 650 coloured pixels, lit by over 16,000 LEDs. It uses real footage of the eyes of 68 volunteer staff from the Wellcome Trust and changes over time, displaying the idiosyncrasies of each individuals gaze.

The eyes will be awake and active through the day and will close at sunset to sleep through the night. Unless, this is, they are woken by a passing pedestrian.

Doxey Pool – Staffordshire, England - Atlas Obscura
Free iron-on Atlas Obscura badge when you preorder our new kids’ book. Shop now.

Staffordshire, England

Doxey Pool

This tiny little pool is said to be home to a malicious mermaid named Jenny Greenteeth.

The mysterious Doxey Pool can be found on the path that runs across the top of the Roaches, a gritstone escarpment not far from the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border. The pool is relatively small, measuring 49 by 33 feet, but its sinister reputation far exceeds its diminutive size.

Some accounts maintain that this strange body of water is bottomless; others say that it is connected to Blake Mere, another nearby tarn, via a deep subterranean passage. Both pools are reputed to house a malignant mermaid called Jenny Greenteeth, sometimes described as a blue nymph. In 1949, a Miss Florence Pettit claimed to have witnessed a weird creature emerge from the water just before she was about to take a morning swim.

Although it’s likely that the spirit was a figment of Miss Pettit’s imagination, there’s still a haunting atmosphere surrounding the mere and it’s easy to imagine that otherworldly creatures lie concealed beneath its surface. Whether this atmosphere is due to the pool’s isolated location, and grim waters or the presence of an otherworldly nymph is not known. But unfortunately it’s definitely not the mermaid.

If visiting the Roaches however you may see a very unusual creature (for the area, at least).

During WW2 five Bennett’s Wallabies escaped from a nearby private zoo and, despite the harsh winters, managed to breed. A colony of up to 50 has been established with the size varying greatly over the years. Sightings are rare but one was reported sighted in 2015, and a video was taken by David Hobson in 2009.

Spring Colour

We went to Bosham last Sunday, which is a little village just along the coast from us.  It is on an inlet within the Chichester Harbour Basin, and is a bit of a mecca for sailing types.  It's also very pretty, and makes for a rather nice walk, afternoon tea and duck-feeding experience.

Unfortunately, both Lara and Sophia decided to take their naps whilst we were there, so it was Mummy and Daddy feeding the ducks and eating the cake.  (The second of those was obviously a great hardship!)  I did get some lovely photos though, even with grey skies and light drizzle on and off.

I don't know about elsewhere in the country, but the light has been really unusual here this past week or two, everything seems slightly clearer and brighter somehow.  Most strange.  Has anyone else noticed that?  Let me know what you think of the pictures, Lx

And don't forget to enter our competitions!

  1. Beautiful pictures! I especially love the contrast of last one with the moss on brick.

Monty after surgery

by austinpetsalive • Posted in: Foster, Special Needs Pets

monty-legMonty had surgery on his second leg on Wednesday, which went well, and has already started physical therapy.  His foster mom has been doing exercises with him this weekend 3x per day and will be taking him to PT 4 times next week.  He was up and starting to use his worse leg right after that surgery, but strangely, he’s still not really using the leg that seemed to have less damage.  He was not happy while doing PT on that leg.  But his foster reports that he loves the work on the bouncy ball and he is much less stiff after those sessions.

His back is quite hunched after all the walking around on his two front legs and the exercises are also helping that.  They plan to get him in the pool next week when his sutures are healed.

His foster is crazy about him and says he has an amazing personality.  He’s incredibly happy and wants to be friends with everyone he meets.   Naming him after Monty Python’s Flying Circus seems to have been appropriate in a couple of ways!

Right now, the hardest part about caring for him is trying to keep him calm.  As she’s weaning him off of the pain medication, his energy level is increasing and this boy really has a zest for life.  He’s already trying to run around on his three legs and jump in the air to catch bugs.

She says that he loves to lie on people or other dogs, which you can kind of see in this photo.  Her dog seems to like letting him lie on her.

We’ll have more information at the end of the week when the physical therapist can assess his improvement with the intense PT.

    Great to hear Monty is doing so well. I was in Austin a couple of weeks ago and saw his story on the local news. I wish him and his foster family the best for his full recovery. Thanks for being there for Monty and all the pets in need.

    I love that he’s named Monty after the flying circus!!! I have a cat at my parent’s house by this name, and it moves me to see the progress this pup is making. I used to work for a non-profit, so I definitely understand the will and the support that this pup receives. Love it!!! Keep up the good work, and do it one animal at a time. Thank you to the foster family and the organization that is helping these animals. It moved me to tears to even read this website. You guys make all the difference!!!

  4. Suzanne Shapssays: September 30, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    What a wonderful, happy ending story. To Monty’s foster mom: good on you for your big heart and willingness to take on the major effort for Monty’s rehabilitation. It’s a lot of work but it is already clear that he will return your effort and love in spades. I hope you get to be his forever mom, too.

Fighting for cheetahs amidst an illegal pet trade

Photo of lone adult cheetah standing in savanna grassland

In 1900, cheetahs thrived across Africa and parts of Asia. Today, that picture is vastly different. Africa’s cheetahs occupy a thin slice of their former habitat and number only 6,674. This vulnerable big cat has lost 89 percent of its historic range — and the remaining habitat falls outside of protected areas. The reasons for the crisis include human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss and fragmentation, loss of prey, and a lesser-known threat: the underground pet trade.

With its graceful beauty and astonishing speed, the magnificent cheetah has become a status symbol, especially among young, wealthy people — often in Gulf states. Smugglers traffic cheetah cubs to the Middle East most commonly from the Horn of Africa, especially Ethiopia and Somalia, taking advantage of political instability in this region. The journey is dangerous for the cubs and, sadly, up to 70 percent die en route to their buyers.

The good news is that in January 2017, the United Arab Emirates set harsh penalties for owning or trading cheetahs and other big cats — fines of up to $136,000 and jail time up to six months. Other states in the Gulf region have yet to pass similar regulations on the possession and sale and of dangerous animals like the cheetah. However, in spite of the UAE’s tough stance, the underground trade persists — investigations have recorded more than 50 social media accounts within the UAE selling cheetah cubs.

Many cheetah owners post pictures of their illegal exotic pets — big cats, critically endangered chimpanzees and orangutans, plus gibbon monkeys — on Instagram and other social networking sites. In 2016, CITES approved new recommendations designed to curb the cheetah pet trade. The measures include working with social media and e-commerce platforms to raise awareness of the problem, as well as coordinating regional law enforcement.

Photo of three juvenile cheetahs in African savannah grassland

Securing transboundary habitats

Cheetah protection groups monitoring the trade in Somalia have estimated that up to 300 cheetahs are smuggled out of the war-torn country every year. The number is likely higher, as black-market transactions are largely hidden and undocumented. Confiscations in demand centers in the Gulf are low. Between 2010 and 2014, CITES reported that UAE authorities seized only 31 cheetahs; Saudi Arabia seized eight during the same period. The origin of the confiscated cheetahs is unknown.

The cheetah is a wide-ranging big cat, with up to 77 percent of its global population occurring outside protected areas. The range stretches across boundaries — more than half of the world’s cheetah are found in a single transboundary population spanning Namibia, Botswana, south-western Angola, northern South Africa, south-western Mozambique, and southern Zambia.

With support from African Wildlife Foundation, Kenya’s Mara Cheetah Project and Mara Lion Project monitors lion and cheetah populations in the Maasai Mara — a significant stronghold for these cats. Studies based on the behavioral data found that cheetahs avoid human presence and require both open and semi-vegetated habitat for successful hunts. Wooded areas offer concealment for cheetahs to stalk while open stretches are needed to pursue prey. In addition to establishing population densities and trends for the species, AWF works with local communities to limit habitat fragmentation and mitigate retaliatory killings of wildlife straying into settlements and farms.

AWF also helps restore and maintain critical wildlife corridors so big cats and other migratory species can access new habitats. The Amboseli-Chyulu Wildlife Corridor is an integral wildlife corridor for the cheetah that spans from Amboseli National Park to Chyulu Hills and Tsavo West National Park. Through an innovative land-lease program, AWF partners with local landowners to protect critical habitat and corridor land for cornerstone species like the cheetah while also creating incentives for local communities to participate in conservation.

Birth Position | Back Home Again: Birth Position

Birth Position

With the imminent arrival of my nephew and several friends that are due this spring, I've been thinking a lot about birth position and the effects it has on labor and caesareans. Before Cecily was born, I was terrified she would be posterior like Ewan and it would result in another c-section. In doing some research, I discovered that Ewan was right occiput transverse, posterior with his head in my hip.
ROT - second from the bottom.
This is a difficult position for labor, and if you're stuck laboring lying down and not given time, then it almost always results in a c-section. While I feel a little better knowing that this is a really difficult labor position, I'm still so angry that I wasn't allowed out of bed, much less given more than 24 hours in the hospital. I know it was over two years ago now, but I don't know if I will ever get over it. It makes me so angry when someone says all that matters is that you have a healthy baby, especially if it's coming from a woman who hasn't had a c-section Yes, of course I'm glad Ewan was born healthy, but that's not all that matters. Unless you've been through it, you have no idea.

I have deep rooted feelings about Ewan's birth. I know that not everyone feels the way I do about c-sections, but I want to share the knowledge I have gained in the off-chance it may help someone else that is in the position I was in. If I can save one woman the agony I went through and the anger and disappointment I still feel about Ewan's birth, I would do it.

How will interacting with robots affect us? £1.5m ERC Grant

Robots and other types of artificial agents, such as avatars, are set to become increasingly commonplace in the near future - we’ll interact with them in workplaces, public spaces, and our own homes, as well as in education, health and care settings. Technologists have worked hard to develop useful machines to perform complex tasks in social settings, such as lifting patients from hospital beds, providing companionship for individuals with depression or dementia, or teaching children algebra.. But do we know whether long-term interactions with such robots might have any effect on us?

Ethiopian ‘Church Forests’ are a crucial resource deserving of world heritage status

Nearly all of the natural forest cover has been lost in the highlands of Ethiopia, except for small areas of sacred forest surrounding the many individual churches of the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church.

The first study to assess the conservation value of these forests has shown that the Ethiopian ‘church forests’, as they are known, play a crucial role in the protection of many species in this global biodiversity hotspot. Although these forests are managed individually, together they form an important network of habitats spread right over the vast area of the central and northern highlands of Ethiopia.

Give a small (and portable!) garden to a mom from the entire family!

Posted on

To mix things up, we asked our friend Lisa who lives in Tokyo to help us come up with a few Mother's Day flower ideas! Since the "family" as an entity is culturally very celebrated in Japan, we thought it would be fun to come up with an idea that a family can come together to create a "family gift" to mothers or grandmothers.

Here are Lisa's words...

"Japanese word "Yoseue" implies to "group planting". Expanding from this concept... a family can get together and create a casual “garden” made of 3 - 5 pots. Idea is easy as each member of your family select one favorite pot of flowers or plants... and put them together into one! Each pot can be as small as it sits in a palm. A family can put these planters in an iron basket, wooden box or any other container available to them so together it becomes one gift and looks like a little garden. A mother (or a grandmother) can enjoy the portable garden as is in the basket, take out each pot and place each one as she wants, or plant them in her yard if she has one!"

This is how you can put them together!

and this is how it will look like when you share the gift!

The gift can be displayed at a new home as-is in the basket... or planters can be taken away from the original basket and be placed as individuals (a perfect solution for a small space living!).  If there is a space, flowers can also be planted in the actual garden... bringing smiles that will surely last over multiple seasons!

Concept and photography by Lisa Yamaguchi.

Oculus lifts headset game restrictions

HTC Vive headset Image copyright Reuters
Image caption Oculus initially sought to stop owners of rival HTC Vive headsets trying out games made for the Rift

Virtual reality pioneer Oculus has removed software locks that stopped people playing games made for its Rift headset on a rival device.

The locks were introduced after VR fans made software called Revive that let people move or port Oculus games on to the HTC Vive.

A software update for the Oculus Rift released over the weekend has stripped out the software controls.

Revive developers said they were still in "disbelief" about the change.

Locked in

Oculus worked closely with many studios and developers to ensure that there was a significant library of games available for owners of its Rift headset when it launched in March.

Many of these games became available on the rival HTC Vive via the Revive software which was released in April this year - soon after the headset itself went on sale.

Shortly afterwards, Oculus sought to thwart Revive by updating its core software to carry out a headset check to ensure a Rift was being used to play the games. The decision stood at odds with statements by Oculus founder Palmer Luckey who said it did not want to succeed by "locking" people into using only its hardware.

Online, many VR headset owners criticised Oculus's efforts to keep people playing games with only its headset.

The developers behind Revive sought to get around the Oculus check to ensure games still ran - though some users reported problems because each headset uses different types of controllers to let people play with objects in virtual worlds.

The headset check has now disappeared from the software needed to get the Oculus working. The change was noticed by Revive developers who posted a message about the update on their page on the Github code-sharing website.

In a statement to tech news site Ars Technica, Oculus confirmed that it had stripped out the headset checks and added that it would not use them in the future.

It added: "We believe protecting developer content is critical to the long-term success of the VR industry."

The Case for Not Signing That Nursing Home’s Arbitration Clause

Caring for an aging loved one involves various difficult, important decisions. Often, many families decide that nursing homes are their best option. But what happens if the professionals you entrust with your family member’s well-being are responsible for their untimely death? In some cases, you may not be able to challenge them in court.

One of our clients found themselves in this dreadful situation. Not only had a nursing home’s negligence killed our client’s mother, but the facility denied any wrongdoing. To make matters worse, an arbitration clause in the contract prevented the family from seeking justice in court. Despite this, firm partner Evan Jones took the case to arbitration, proved the nursing home committed malpractice and secured our client an arbitration award of $617,295.24, one of the largest nursing home arbitration awards in the State of Georgia.

The family’s ability to pursue true justice came down to an unnecessary arbitration clause.

The Challenge: Signed Arbitration Contract

A growing trend among nursing home facilities is to include an arbitration clause in their contracts. Should a dispute arise, these clauses require the two parties to settle the conflict outside of court. By contractually agreeing to arbitration, you waive your 7th amendment right to a jury trial for civil cases in all courts. Should something happen to your loved one while in the nursing home’s care, you can’t take the facility to court.

What does this mean for the nursing homes?

With no ability for families to sue, nursing homes can absolve themselves of responsibility and prioritize profits over the quality of their residents’ care.

The Trouble: Resident’s Death

While under the facility’s care, our client’s mother (who also had Alzheimer’s) suffered from bilateral fractures of her femurs, which the nursing home never reported. A full day later, the untreated fractures led to respiratory distress, sending her to the hospital. While there, the care staff discovered a hip separation and fractures so severe that she was unfit for surgery. Her condition worsened, and she languished in pain until her untimely death 22 days later.

Throughout the experience, the nursing home denied any responsibility. They failed to record the accident and even made up information they reported to the state. They blamed others for her injuries, including the resident herself and the EMT who came to help her. Further, they never completed their own investigations of the incident, stating “no answer” for the cause of her injury.

Not believing the nursing home’s stories, our client sought justice. In order to soundly navigate the case, they contacted BBGA for dependable legal guidance.

The Goal: Justice

Upon representing our client, we scrutinized their contract and discovered they’d already signed an arbitration clause when admitting their loved one into the nursing home. With their right to a civil case waived, we knew we had to pursue justice as creatively as possible.

By analyzing the case from all angles, we found flaws and gaps in the nursing home’s story beyond denying responsibility. Hired medical experts helped us confirm the injuries indeed resulted from negligence. We were even able to prove the nursing home had altered records to cover up any wrongdoing.

In short, we worked tirelessly on behalf of our client to help them pursue the justice they deserved.

The Result: Largest Arbitration Reward in Georgia

Our team came together to help ensure the best legal outcome for our client. By proving the injuries occurred as a result of the facility’s treatment, our client received more than $600,000.

Though we helped them find closure, the arbitration clause deprived the family of their day in court, and the opportunity to have a jury hold the nursing home accountable.

The Takeaway: No Arbitration Clauses

Remember, you don’t have to waive your 7th amendment right to a trial. The law doesn’t require you to sign arbitration clauses when admitting loved ones to nursing homes.

If you have a loved one who’s been injured in a nursing home, call us today at 866-354-3544. We can help you understand your rights and the legal opportunities you have to pursue justice.

About Bembridge

Bembridge is a village located on the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight, lying behind the spectacular headland of Culver.  It is also claimed to be the largest village in England, with a population of approximately 4,000 residents.  Bembridge stretches around most of the Eastern tip of the Isle of Wight which includes its harbour and three beaches, and has its own airport.

Prior to land reclamation, the area of Bembridge and Yaverland was almost an island unto itself, separated from the remainder of the Isle of Wight by Brading Haven. Before the Victorian era Bembridge was a collection of wooden huts and farmhouses, which only consolidated into a true village with the building of the church in 1827 (later rebuilt in 1846). The historical heart of the village is located close to the church in the north of the village, consisting of a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, along with the Village Hall. Bembridge Community Library serves the village and there is a local museum in the same location.

The Lane End district is located in the east of the village. It is largely composed of modern bungalows and a small shopping area which includes a Co-Op store. The lane comes to an end at the beach, where Bembridge Lifeboat station and the Bembridge Coast Hotel are situated. Further inland from Lane End you will find Bembridge C of E Primary School and the Bembridge Youth & Community Centre, which is situated in Steyne Park.

Bembridge is currently represented on the Isle of Wight Council by the two members of the ward of Bembridge, St. Helens and Brading.

Bembridge is governed by a Parish council of 12 members. For parish council elections the village is divided into two wards, the North and South, each electing six members to the body. The parish council has succeeded in obtaining Lottery funding for improvements to the village recently, including a play-park in Steyne Park. It is also one of the few Parish Councils that has a village centre office open 5 days a week on Foreland Road 9.30am to 12.30pm.  The Parish Council manages all the public toilets in the village found at Station Road, Steyne Park, Lane End carpark and behind 5/7 High Street, as well as the Lane End Cemetery, Steyne Park/Playing Field, the War Memorial Gardens, Palmer Memorial, Lincoln Way Pond, Scouts Hut/Bowling Green and a number of other small areas.

Bembridge Windmill is the only remaining windmill on the Isle of Wight and is located to the west of the village. Dating from around 1700, it is a National Trust property generally open from April to October.

The RNLI station is particularly significant, as it extends into the sea to the east of the village. Here lies the notorious “Bembridge Ledge”, a large, rocky outcrop which poses a major threat to passing boats.   The former Bembridge lifeboat, the RNLB Jesse Lumb (ON 822), is part of the National Historic Fleet, and was until recently exhibited at Imperial War Museum Duxford; she is now back on the Island and will be displayed in the IW Historic Lifeboat Centre in West Cowes once it has been completed.   The current Offshore boathouse was completed in Autumn 2010 and houses RNLB Alfred Albert Williams (Tamar 16-17).   A new concrete walkway was built, with the new station made completely of naturally durable timber.  The Offshore boathouse is open to visitors most days of the year (see www.bembridgelifeboat.org.uk for details).  The Inshore lifeboat station, which houses RNLB Norman Harvey (D-778), was rebuilt in 2014 and includes parts of the original Victorian boathouse that was built in 1867.  The building includes an RNLI shop which is open similar hours to the Offshore boathouse.

The Coastguard lookout is further along the coast from the Lifeboat Station. Positioned at a high elevation, this offers views of the Solent meeting the English Channel to the east of the Isle of Wight.

A short distance from the village centre is Culver Down, the white cliffs of which can be seen from Sandown Bay all the way through to Shanklin.  The chalk down of Culver has a fascinating mixture of wildlife and natural features, mixed with several remaining military features including a monument with the adjoining remains of a former barracks, a substantial fort owned by The National Trust and a 2nd world war anti-aircraft battery at the end of the cliffs.  Beneath Culver on the Bembridge side is the magnificent Whitecliff Bay, a sheltered cove well worth exploring.

Bembridge Harbour is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the nearby Brading Marshes are home to the first RSPB site on the Island. There are many picturesque walks in and around the area, historic sites to visit, beautiful beaches to enjoy and a busy Harbour where there’s always something to watch.  A surprisingly busy little harbour, Bembridge is one of the Isle of Wight’s best kept secrets; its relative remoteness adding a certain charm. It attracts keen yachtsmen from all over who are lured by the excellent conditions, beautiful location and superb facilities.
