Respite provides caregivers of those with long-term or lifelong disabilities an opportunity to have some time away from their caregiving duties.

A respite break can be as short as a few hours or as long as a couple of days or weeks. The Panhandle Partnership Respite Program is one of six Nebraska Respite Network sites.

The Respite Network offers information and referral services for families and potential or current respite providers. You can access your local coordinator by calling:

866- RESPITE (737-7483)

Caregivers need an opportunity to have time for themselves. Here are some examples:

 - Go to the grocery store
 - Visit their doctor
 - Have lunch with a friend
 - Attend church or a school function
 - Take a nap
 - Go out of town for a couple of days or weeks
 - Just relax
