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 & referral services for families & potential or current respite providers. Call your local coordinator at 308.432.8190.
