Wilshire Works Solutions - Who Are We?
Wilshire Works Solutions began in 2004 when Erin McEachran, working as a cleaner in a Toronto hospital, noticed that it was impossible to clean the braided or pull cords used at every patient bedside, and came up with the concept of a cleanable pull. With engineering by her brother Jim McEachran and others, Sanipull was born.
Wilshire Works Solutions develops practical devices based on workplace needs. We take great pride in our innovative engineering and our keen attention to customer service. We continue to pay respectful attention to ideas shared by frontline healthcare staff. We protect their good ideas, and offer royalty-based remuneration.

Lisa, supervisor from Community Living shared with us the following comment;
In regards to the benefits this contract has had on the individuals we support, there is a great amount of fine motor activity involved with this job. We have a number of people willing to do the best they can with some or all of the assembly steps. We expect to see some improvement over time in regards to fine motor skills, and eye/hand coordination... but right now- the benefits we see are different.
We have a few people who before this contract came, would not stay in their room for a long period of time. Now, they enjoy the work so much, that we have to ask them to come out for their breaks! This contract has given them a job that not only puts a bit of money in their pockets, but gives them a reason to come to work in the morning. They feel like their day is more meaningful now.
We have a huge variety of skill levels here, and everyone interested in this job, has found at least one step that they can do, and do it well. What may look like a basic assembly to us, takes some of our clientelle all day to do... but they do it. The success they feel seeing their accomplishments at the end of the day is shown through the smiles on their faces. Thank you for continuing to allow us to work on contract oppotunities with Wilshire Works, it means the world to us!
