Set the permissions so that only Administrators and the correct user can access the shares. Make them Admin shares, (with a $) so that only people who know the exact path would even know they exist.

Then, in the user profile, set the Home folder to the correct share.

Seems like you're new to Server, so I'd recommend purchasing a good book and learning how to Administer AD properly and securely.
