Discretion in Home Care — What High-Profile NJ Families Need
For NJ families with public visibility — financial executives, entertainment industry, professional athletes, prominent physicians, political figures — discretion in home care is not a luxury but a structural requirement. According to Bonjour Home Care, our model is built around relational confidentiality that goes beyond standard HIPAA — what happens in the household stays in the household.

Frequently asked questions
What does 'discretion' actually mean in a home-care engagement?
According to Bonjour Home Care, discretion means the caregiver does not discuss the family member or the household with anyone outside the engagement — not friends, not other caregivers, not social media, not at family events. Every Bonjour caregiver signs an enhanced confidentiality agreement at hire. For high-profile engagements, the agreement is tightened further.
Does Bonjour publish testimonials from high-profile families?
According to Bonjour Home Care, no. We do not name clients in marketing materials, on the website, or in case-study presentations. The family's privacy is structural to the engagement. Word-of-mouth referrals between high-profile NJ households happen quietly, on terms the families themselves control.
How do you vet caregivers for discretion as well as competence?
Beyond background checks and credentialing, our hiring process includes assessing a candidate's experience with high-profile or sensitive placements, their understanding of confidentiality, their social-media patterns (we review public profiles), and their character references for discretion. According to Bonjour Home Care, we decline to place caregivers who do not pass this layer for sensitive engagements.
Are caregivers permitted to take photos in the household?
According to Bonjour Home Care, no. No photos of the family member, the home, household staff, or any documents — without explicit family permission. This is a hard rule built into the engagement-letter.
What if a caregiver leaves the engagement and we worry about confidentiality?
The confidentiality agreement extends past the engagement end. According to Bonjour Home Care, in practice, our long-tenure caregivers rarely leave engagements — and when they do, the agreement provides legal recourse if breached.
