A homecare provider with locations in Cheshire and Westport has acquired Putnam-based Day Kimball Homemakers, a division of Day Kimball Health.
Assisted Living Services Home Care Services Inc. said the acquisition will allow it to expand into northeastern Connecticut, which Day Kimball Health serves.
Day Kimball Health is a healthcare system composed of Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, Day Kimball Medical Group and Day Kimball Healthcare at Home, along with healthcare centers in Danielson, Dayville, Plainfield and Putnam.
The sale does not involve Day Kimball Healthcare at Home, which will continue to operate under Day Kimball Health.
Assisted Living Services is a family-owned homecare agency that provides non-medical services, including assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming; medication reminders; transferring and mobility; meal preparation; incontinence care, light housekeeping and safety monitoring.
“It’s our mission to build upon and grow the strong tradition that Day Kimball Homemakers has established among the senior population in the area, while bringing some enhanced services to the community such as Live-in Companion, Adult Family Living/Foster Care and technology solutions for aging-in-place,” said Mario D’Aquila, chief operating officer at Assisted Living Services.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Day Kimball Homemakers employees were offered positions with Assisted Living Services and their clients will not experience any interruption in services, according to the company.
D’Aquila said that Assisted Living Services is unique in the homecare industry because all of its homemaker and companion providers are employees, not independent contractors.
Assisted Living Services has more than 700 employees and was ranked on Inc.’s list of 5,000 fastest-growing companies in 2020.
