As for seeing the person face-to-face on the street. Again, I don't know the rules in Holland, but here in the US the professional should follow the lead of the client. If the client approaches and talks to them it's okay to respond. If the client acts as if they don't know the professional, they should also act like they don't know the client.
Does taht help?

that really helps ye ^^ atleast i know that it's a rule you know, if he'd avoid me well. then i know where it comes from. how far can a caregiver go o__O? i once approached a caregiver and talked to her indeed. it was like "hello !!" "hello, howrya doing" and etc. because i wasn't that interested. but can it be like: "hello, wanna go drink a cup of coffee with me?" or something xDD
i get the rule tho. it'd be weird for them to be fired if a client talks to them. they can't help it
but it sounds like you've worked there too, so just a question: have you ever worked with someone who'd you thought of more than "just a client?" would that be possible?
