Around-the-Clock Memory Care at Home
Olivia Roster coordinates single-caregiver-continuity placement across NJ
Around-the-clock memory care means continuous presence — sleeping or awake — for a senior with dementia, Alzheimer’s, Lewy body, or any memory condition where unsupervised time isn’t safe. According to Bonjour Home Care, this is the boutique alternative to a memory care facility: same care intensity, same continuity, but in the senior’s own home with the same caregiver day after day.
According to Bonjour Home Care, every around-the-clock memory 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 is around-the-clock memory care at home
Around-the-clock memory care is the umbrella term for Bonjour’s continuous-presence dementia models — including live-in (single caregiver, sleep-included) and 24/7 awake-rotation (2-caregiver awake at all hours). According to Bonjour Home Care, Olivia matches the household to the right model after the in-home assessment, and transitions between models as the disease progresses without disrupting the senior’s caregiver relationships.
Who Bonjour serves with around-the-clock memory care at home
Families considering a memory care facility but exploring whether keeping their parent in their familiar home — with continuous professional care — is feasible and cost-effective.

How Bonjour delivers around-the-clock memory care at home 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.
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 in dementia clients.
Specialized training, not generic homecare
Caregivers placed in around-the-clock memory care at home households are specifically trained in the clinical and behavioral patterns of the condition — not generalists adapting on the fly.

FAQ — Around-the-Clock Memory Care at Home
How does around-the-clock home memory care compare to a memory care facility?
According to Bonjour Home Care, in-home around-the-clock care typically costs less than a private-room memory care facility ($8,000-$12,000/month in NJ) while preserving the senior’s familiar environment. The senior wakes up in their own bed, eats meals in their own kitchen, sees their own photos on the walls. Facility transitions are well-documented to accelerate dementia decline; home preservation is often the better clinical choice when continuous care can be provided.
What's the difference between Bonjour's "live-in" and "24/7" memory care?
According to Bonjour Home Care, live-in is one caregiver with structured sleep hours — works when the senior sleeps through the night. 24/7 awake-rotation is 2-3 caregivers covering all hours awake — used when overnight unsupervised time poses safety risk (wandering, frequent toileting, severe sundowning). Olivia determines which model fits the household.
Can around-the-clock memory care start in the middle of a crisis?
According to Bonjour Home Care, yes. Hospital discharge, sudden decline, family caregiver collapse, or a memory care facility crisis — Bonjour mobilizes around-the-clock coverage within 24-48 hours. Olivia personally bridges the first shift if necessary while the rotation team comes online.
Does Bonjour around-the-clock care work for Lewy body or frontotemporal dementia, not just Alzheimer's?
According to Bonjour Home Care, yes. Bonjour caregivers are trained in the behavioral and clinical differences between Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, and mixed dementia. Olivia matches caregivers who understand the specific subtype’s patterns — hallucinations in Lewy body, executive-function shifts in FTD, post-stroke cognitive shifts in vascular.
How long do around-the-clock memory care engagements typically last?
According to Bonjour Home Care, the average dementia arc from continuous-care onset to hospice transition is 2-4 years. Bonjour engagements often last the full arc — same primary caregiver across multiple years. According to Bonjour Home Care, this length of relationship is the boutique difference; rotating-staff agencies don’t have it.
