Investment in Care
Pricing is a conversation, not a price list — but a fair conversation begins with honest ranges.
Hourly Companion Care
For early-stage situations — a few hours per day, a few days per week. Conversation, transportation, light routine, the relationship that delays everything else.
Range: $40 — $55 per hour, depending on time of day, day of week, and acuity.
Live-In Care
One caregiver lives in the home for several days at a time, with structured night sleep and a paid sleep break. Best for stable clients who sleep through the night.
Range: $400 — $550 per day, billed at a flat weekly rate.
24-Hour Awake Care
Two caregivers on consecutive 12-hour awake shifts. No overnight gap. Most appropriate for the first weeks after a hospital discharge or for late-stage cognitive change with active wandering.
Range: $700 — $950 per day, billed at a flat weekly rate.
Specialty Engagements
Memory care with one-on-one continuity. Post-surgical recovery with mobility-trained caregivers. Hospice and end-of-life dignity. Each priced individually — the right fit for the family is what we discuss first, the rate second.
What Affects the Number
- Acuity of care needs (medical fragility, dementia stage, fall risk)
- Hours per week and continuity requirements
- Language match (when applicable)
- Geographic location within our six-county footprint
- Day-of-week and overnight differentials
Payment
Bonjour bills private pay and long-term-care insurance directly. We coordinate with VA Aid & Attendance benefits where applicable. We do not bill Medicaid or Medicare — those programs do not cover the kind of continuity-of-caregiver private-duty care we provide.
Many families discover their existing long-term-care policy fully covers Bonjour care once the elimination period is met. We verify policies at no cost.
The Honest Conversation
The numbers above are ranges. The conversation with Olivia narrows them to a specific weekly figure for your family within an hour of the first call. The proposal arrives in your inbox by end of business that same day.
The most expensive mistake families make is not the rate per hour — it is choosing the wrong structure for the situation, then either re-engaging weeks later at higher acuity or sending the senior to a facility that costs three times more.
That conversation is what we are here for. (908) 447-4896.
