Helping People Live Better Lives
About us
The Department of Health and Human Services team contributes to the lives and health of Nebraskans every day. Our mission, “Helping people live better lives,” provides the motivation to make a difference. Some DHHS programs impact all Nebraskans; for example, we educate and protect people through public health activities like ensuring clean and safe drinking water and we license and certify all health care professionals. We also touch our state’s most vulnerable citizens. Our services assist the elderly, low income and those with disabilities; we provide safety to abused and/or neglected children and vulnerable adults; and thousands of Nebraskans rely on the services of our ten 24-hour facilities. At every level of our organization, our goal is to be honest, trustworthy, competent and loyal. We strive to be transparent and accountable. We’ve established a set of Values and Core Competencies to guide how we work to achieve our mission and effectively serve Nebraskans.

Caring for a loved one is rewarding but caregivers need support, too. Respite services provide temporary care and supervision, giving primary caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, run errands, or simply recharge. Respite support can help: 💙 Reduce caregiver stress 💙 Promote family well-being 💙 Maintain healthy caregiving relationships 💙 Support long-term care at home If you are a caregiver for an individual receiving services, talk with your Service Coordinator to learn about available respite options. https://lnkd.in/dA98MG9V
