The Lifespan Respite Subsidy Program pays for respite services to give the primary family caregiver a temporary break. Respite means the provision of short-term relief to primary family caregivers from the demands of ongoing care for an individual with special needs. The program serves people of all ages. Ongoing care means continuous, full-time supervision/care for a person with special needs. It is NOT for people who are receiving respite services from another government program. Respite may be provided in the care recipient's home or other family caregiver-approved location. Visit the DHHS Nebraska Respite Subsidy Program.
