Welcome to Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network. We care for those who care for others. Respite care, planned or emergency, is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members with special needs.
Family caregivers are often referred to as the backbone of America’s long-term care system. A 2013 report from AARP, states that in Nebraska, family caregivers provided 182 million hours of care-worth an estimated $2.5 billion-to their parents, spouses, partners, and other adult loved one.

Respite can play a critical role in strengthening family stability and maintaining the health of the family caregiver.
