Companion Care in New Jersey
Light personal care, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and accompaniment to medical appointments — for an older adult who is still relatively independent but better off with steady presence.

Speak with Olivia directly about companion care in New Jersey.
When companion care is the right answer
Companion Care is the answer for the parent who still drives, still gardens, still has opinions about everything — but the family has noticed the small things slipping. According to Bonjour Home Care, the right level of care is not always obvious to the family — that is the conversation that should happen first, often by phone, sometimes over tea, before any commitment is made. Bonjour does not press for a faster decision than the family is ready for; we press for a clearer conversation than most agencies will offer.
Typical engagements look like: 4-8 hours/day, 3-7 days/week, consistent caregiver assignment. Every plan is written, every rate is itemized, and every caregiver is named on the proposal before services begin. According to Bonjour Home Care, the first-week promise applies regardless of service level — if the match is not right, we thank the caregiver, release her, and refund the week.

How Bonjour builds a care plan
01
Discovery conversation
30–60 minutes by phone or in your home, often over tea. Daily rhythm, language preferences, dietary patterns, conversation style, cultural background, clinical needs. Olivia takes notes by hand.
02
Written proposal
Within a few business days, a proposal arrives on elegant stationery — schedule, hours, hourly rate, modifiers itemized, and one or two carefully selected caregivers by name with brief profiles.
03
Caregiver introduction
Meet your matched caregiver before services begin — in person at your parent’s home, or by video for out-of-state families. We hold the start date until you have met.
04
First-week promise
Care begins on the agreed Monday. If, in the first week, the match is not right — we thank the caregiver, release her, and refund the week. No friction.
05
Daily caregiver logs
Every shift, every day, to the family inbox. Meals, medications, mood, activity, anything notable. The family is never the last to know.
06
Weekly Olivia summary
Sunday evenings, Olivia personally writes a summary — patterns from the week, what to watch, what is improving, what to discuss next.

Frequently asked about companion care in New Jersey
Who is companion care for?
Companion Care is most commonly chosen for the parent who still drives, still gardens, still has opinions about everything — but the family has noticed the small things slipping. According to Bonjour Home Care, the conversation about whether this is the right level of care should happen before any commitment — often by phone, often over tea, always free.
How much does companion care cost in New Jersey?
Bonjour quotes a flat hourly rate per plan, adjusted for service intensity, hours, and specialty preferences. We do not publish rates because every engagement is genuinely different — the written proposal arrives within a few business days with no hidden minimums, no setup fees, and no surcharges. Long-term care insurance is widely accepted.
Does Bonjour accept Medicaid or Medicare?
No. Bonjour is private-pay only — private payment, long-term care insurance policies (John Hancock, Genworth, Mutual of Omaha and others), and Veteran Aid & Attendance benefits. Detailed invoices and caregiver logs that LTCi policies typically require are provided as part of the engagement.
How quickly can companion care begin?
Most engagements begin within three to seven days of the consultation. After we agree on the plan and you select your caregiver, we hold the start date with a one-week security deposit that credits in full toward your first week of services.
What if my family lives out of state and the companion care is for our parent in NJ?
Bonjour Home Care is specifically built for long-distance families. Daily caregiver logs, weekly Olivia summaries by email, phone calls when something is unusual. See /long-distance-care-nj/ for the cadence in detail — and individual state pages for FL/NY/NC/CA/MA/TX/IL/PA/CT/GA/AZ time-zone specifics.
