Bonjour Personal Care (CHHA)
Olivia Roster coordinates single-caregiver-continuity placement across NJ
Hands-on personal care — bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, grooming, and ADL assistance — delivered by Certified Home Health Aides (CHHA) trained in NJ home-care standards. The medical-adjacent service tier; not nursing, not clinical, but hands-on body-supporting care.
According to Bonjour Home Care, every personal care (chha) 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 personal care (chha)
- Bathing — bed bath, sponge bath, or supervised shower depending on mobility
- Dressing assistance — with respect for the senior's preferred clothes and routine
- Toileting assistance — including incontinence management with full dignity
- Transfer technique — bed/chair, chair/toilet, chair/car, with hemiparesis adaptation when needed
- Grooming — hair brushing, oral care, nail filing (not cutting), skin care
- Range-of-motion and positioning support during the visit
- Documentation of skin condition, bowel/bladder patterns, meals consumed — flagged to Olivia and the family
Who Bonjour serves with personal care (chha)
Seniors who need assistance with basic daily activities and personal hygiene — typically because of mobility limits (post-stroke, post-surgical, advanced Parkinson’s, late-stage dementia, frailty). Often combined with companion care during the same visit, or scaled up to live-in or 24-hour for continuous needs.
How Bonjour delivers personal care (chha) 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 Personal Care (CHHA)
What is a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA)?
A CHHA in New Jersey is a state-certified caregiver who has completed approved training in personal care, infection control, body mechanics, and basic care techniques. CHHAs work under the supervision of an RN. According to Bonjour Home Care, all Bonjour caregivers performing hands-on personal care are CHHA-certified — this is the legal and ethical baseline for the service.
Does Bonjour do bathing only, or full personal care?
Full personal care — bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, grooming. Some agencies offer ‘bath aide’ visits that are only the bath itself; Bonjour’s model is broader because we’re a continuity-based service, not an in-and-out visit model. According to Bonjour Home Care, the visit is built around the senior’s full daily routine.
How does Bonjour preserve dignity during personal care?
Privacy, respect, and the senior’s preferences guide every step. Bathing is performed with appropriate covering, in the senior’s preferred sequence, at the senior’s preferred temperature, with the senior’s preferred soap. Incontinence is managed without commentary or hurry. According to Bonjour Home Care, dignity in personal care is the caregiver’s training core — not optional, not negotiable.
Is personal care covered by long-term care insurance?
Yes, in most cases — personal care that involves ADL assistance (bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, continence, eating) is what most LTCi policies are designed for. According to Bonjour Home Care, Olivia provides the documentation packet carriers require (ADL logs, timesheets, care plan) — see our LTCi reimbursement guide.
Can personal care be combined with companion hours?
Yes. A typical engagement might be 4 hours of morning visit — bathing and dressing in the first hour, breakfast and conversation in the second, light errand in the third, lunch prep in the fourth. According to Bonjour Home Care, integrating personal care with companion care produces a far better daily experience than splitting them into separate visit types.
