PUTNAM --- Day Kimball HomeMakers recently reached its 25th anniversary of providing homemaking and personal care services to northeast Connecticut. Susan Esons, executive director of Day Kimball HomeMakers, said, “Part of our success is due to the fact that we are always reinventing ourselves to respond to changes in our environment and client needs. It takes a team and a community of caring people to make this wonderful work happen.” In 1985 Day Kimball HomeMakers, formerly known as Northeast HomeMakers, began with merely eight employees and 50 clients.
In the 1980’s, Day Kimball HomeMakers’ services included mostly chore and companion tasks with only female employees.
Today, Day Kimball HomeMakers is comprised of 90 employees including seven males, and serves nearly 500 clients per year.
