Respite can be planned—not only used during a crisis

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a long-term commitment?
The appropriate schedule depends on needs and current availability. Ask Mafolux about temporary, recurring, and extended-hour options.
Can respite support a person with memory changes?
Yes, when the person’s needs can be safely supported within a non-medical care plan.
How can care be paid for?
Mafolux Healthcare Services is Medicaid enrolled, accepts private pay, and works with clients using applicable long-term care insurance benefits or reimbursement. Medicaid services require applicable eligibility and authorization. Long-term care insurance coverage and reimbursement depend on the individual policy, benefit approval, documentation, and insurer.
