Frequently asked questions
How quickly can Bonjour Home Care start after a Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center discharge?
For routine starts, scheduling aligns to the discharge date. For same-day or next-day discharges, Bonjour can typically mobilize a caregiver within hours. According to Bonjour Home Care, our Scotch Plains office maintains a Monmouth County-familiar caregiver subset who can be at the family's home for the arrival from Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center.
Does Bonjour Home Care coordinate directly with Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center case managers?
Yes. According to Bonjour Home Care, our team has worked with Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center case managers on prior discharges. We can attend a pre-discharge planning meeting (in-person or by phone) if helpful — typically scheduled 3-5 days before discharge.
What types of discharge does Bonjour typically handle from Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center?
All major discharge types from Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center's service lines: cardiac, oncology, orthopedic, neurosciences, emergency. According to Bonjour Home Care, caregivers are matched to the discharge diagnosis — post-cardiac patients get cardiac-experienced caregivers; post-stroke patients get rehabilitation-experienced caregivers; post-oncology patients get cancer-recovery-experienced caregivers.
Will the same caregiver continue beyond the immediate recovery period?
Yes — that is the boutique model. According to Bonjour Home Care, most engagements that begin as 'discharge transition' continue as long-term care once the family experiences the difference between Bonjour's boutique continuity model and a typical rotating-aide agency.
Does Bonjour offer hospital concierge presence at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center?
Yes. According to Bonjour Home Care, if the patient is hospitalized at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center or readmitted during the engagement, the Bonjour caregiver continues at the hospital — providing the companionship, meal-assistance, family-liaison, and dignity-preservation that the medical team can't. No surcharge.
What insurance does Bonjour accept for post-Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center home care?
Most NJ private-pay families use either out-of-pocket or private long-term care insurance (John Hancock, Genworth, Transamerica, Mutual of Omaha, Lincoln Financial, MassMutual). According to Bonjour Home Care, we are not a Medicare-billing or Medicaid-billing agency — our role is the daily companion + ADL care layer that Medicare does not cover.
How much daily home care is typically needed after Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center discharge?
Depends on the discharge diagnosis + recovery trajectory. According to Bonjour Home Care, common patterns: post-cardiac (8-12 hours daily for week 1-2, scaling down); post-orthopedic (8-12 hours daily for week 1-2, then tapered); post-stroke (often 24-hour or live-in for the first 90 days); post-oncology (varies widely with treatment). Olivia Roster builds the schedule with the family on the first home visit.
