Social XChange – Values with Every Purchase Social XChange is a platform that brings products made by people who are moving on up into the hands of those who value hand-crafted products made by people fulfilling their goals. There is socially responsible (do no… or minimal… harm), and then there is socially valuable*. Through Creative@Work, we have helped many non-profits maximize their communications strategies. While so doing, we kept encountering job-readiness social enterprise** departments of these non-profits where the fruits of training programs were yielding superiorly made items, but the selling of these items did not go beyond word of mouth. Two things came to this realization: 1. We now had access to purchase these items for ourselves! 2. Many conversations were sparked about the barriers to bringing these products to market. • The major barriers were funding-based: just enough funds to run the programs; not enough to pay for bringing the products to market. • The minor barriers, though, were perception-based… or due to compartmentalized thinking. If non-profits are seen as business-savvy, then they may not be seen as requiring traditional funding. It’s the same double-edged sword that individuals accessing services may face. The truth is, the more independently-gained […]

Community Living Oakville was founded by parents who dreamed of a better life for their sons and daughters. They wanted their children to learn in school, have friends, and be welcome in their communities.  We continue that vision within the Town of Oakville. Today the organization includes individuals, families, staff & volunteers dedicated to making sure that people with developmental disabilities are able to enjoy their right to lead active and productive lives in their communities. A Brief History… Community Living: Bringing Full Citizenship to the Most Vulnerable Members of Our Community. Fifty-five years ago having a developmental disability was a sentence to be isolated. Education was denied. That changed when the Kelley and Gunn families decided their five-year-olds shouldn’t be “retired” from school. They independently hired a teacher and a tiny school grew to seven children and found a home at St. Jude’s Church. From the vision of two parents to community-wide service in less than fifty years, the changes are monumental. Yet there is still a long way to grow. Community inclusion still remains elusive to many. Our goal is full community participation for the people we support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do you sell through Home Healthcare stores? We do not sell through stores but sell and supply directly from our website.   Due to the exceptional quality of the Volaris rollators Made in Sweden, the cost is much higher than the Chinese manufactured rollators.   If we were to go through a middleman (the store) the price would be much higher and perhaps out of the reach of many people.  Unlike many other rollator sites we put up large pictures of the rollators so you can really see what you are getting, and we try and provide as much information as possible so that you are comfortable with your choice.  The people who purchase the Volaris are those that have done their research, read the testimonials, and had all their questions answered. These also tend to be experienced rollator users who have had the cheap rollators in the past and now know what they are looking for.  (In Ontario, Canada only we sell the SMART through ADP approved Home Healthcare stores for those who are getting funded through ADP).    Does Medicare pay for a portion of the cost? No, the rollators listed with Medicare are the cheaper, made in China rollators.   Should I […]
