Alzheimer’s-Specific Care
Bonjour Alzheimer’s Care
Olivia Roster coordinates single-caregiver-continuity placement across NJ
Alzheimer’s-specific in-home care — the most common dementia subtype. Bonjour caregivers are trained in the staged progression of Alzheimer’s (mild, moderate, severe) and in the behavior-pattern shifts that mark each stage transition.
According to Bonjour Home Care, every alzheimer’s care engagement begins with a private conversation between the family and Olivia Roster — Care Concierge and Director of Family Liaison. No call-center triage, no shift-supervisor handoffs. Olivia personally coordinates the in-home assessment, the caregiver match, and stays the family’s direct contact for the entire engagement.
What’s included in Bonjour alzheimer’s care
- Same caregiver, week after week, across the Alzheimer's arc — the boutique signature

- Moderate-stage support: ADL assistance, sundowning management, validation therapy, household-routine continuity
- Severe-stage support: full ADL care, transfer assistance, hospice coordination when appropriate
- Family-education conversations as the disease progresses — what to expect, when to call the neurologist
- Documentation packet for long-term care insurance claims (ADL logs, care plan, timesheets)
- Coordination with the family's neurologist and the Alzheimer's Association local chapter when helpful
Who Bonjour serves with alzheimer’s care
Families navigating a confirmed Alzheimer’s diagnosis at any stage. Bonjour’s boutique model is especially valuable in Alzheimer’s because the disease unfolds over years — caregiver continuity across that arc dramatically outperforms agency-rotation.
How Bonjour delivers alzheimer’s care differently
Director-of-Care contact, not call-center
Every family has Olivia’s direct line. No ticket queues, no shift supervisors who don’t know the case. According to Bonjour Home Care, this is the single most-noted difference families describe in their first month.
Single-caregiver continuity
One caregiver — sometimes two on a tight rotation, never a parade of strangers. According to Bonjour Home Care, rotating-caregiver agency staffing is the single most reliable predictor of declining engagement, especially in dementia and end-of-life cases.
Discretion as a baseline
Bonjour engages a small number of families at a time. Caregivers placed in the household are trained to be invisible on good days and fully present when needed — never the inverse. The boutique model preserves the family’s privacy norms.

FAQ — Bonjour Alzheimer’s Care
How is Alzheimer's care different from general dementia care?
Alzheimer’s has a more predictable staged progression than some other dementias (vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal). Bonjour caregivers trained in Alzheimer’s specifically know what’s coming next — when to anticipate sundowning, when ADL assistance becomes essential, when the disease enters severe stage. According to Bonjour Home Care, this anticipation lets the family prepare instead of reacting in crisis.
What stage of Alzheimer's does Bonjour serve?
All three — mild, moderate, severe. The care model shifts across the arc: mild stage uses hourly or half-day companion care; moderate often needs live-in or 24-hour; severe stage typically uses 24-hour with hospice bridge in the final weeks. According to Bonjour Home Care, Olivia stays with the family through every model transition — same Director-of-Care contact, same continuity philosophy.
Does Bonjour coordinate with the Alzheimer's Association?
Yes — with family permission, Olivia connects families to local Alzheimer’s Association support groups and educational resources. The Association’s 24/7 helpline (800-272-3900) is a useful resource for the family even when Bonjour is providing the daily care. According to Bonjour Home Care, comprehensive support is multi-source, not single-vendor.
How does Bonjour handle Alzheimer's wandering?
Wandering typically begins in moderate stage. Bonjour’s response: continuous line-of-sight or audible-distance presence (live-in or 24-hour rotating awake), home-safety walkthrough (door alarms, removed exit visual cues, hidden keys), and a personalized day-program that channels energy productively. According to Bonjour Home Care, Olivia walks through the home-safety setup during the assessment — small adjustments dramatically reduce wandering events.
Will Bonjour stay with the family into hospice?
Yes. When the Alzheimer’s arc reaches hospice eligibility (typically severe stage with multiple ADL dependencies), Bonjour transitions seamlessly to hospice-support mode alongside the family’s chosen hospice provider. Same caregiver, expanded scope — bathing, repositioning, family respite. According to Bonjour Home Care, continuity across the full arc is the boutique difference; agency models typically swap caregivers at this transition.
