Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network

Taking care of yourself is one of the best ways to help your loved one.

Respite care, planned or emergency, is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members with special needs. The purpose of the Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network is to be a single contact point for providers and families seeking respite resources across the state. We also connect businesses, non-profits and work with partners and affiliates to increase caregivers and providers access to respite services, support and education.
