Bestcare

What Bestcare does

Bestcare is a privately held medical device manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered at 2920 Pacific Dr, Norcross, Georgia. The company designs and manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of patient lift and transfer products sold under six sub-brands: BestLift (mobile patient lifts), BestStand (stand assist lifts), BestMove (stand aids), BestTransfer (transfer aids such as sheets, belts, and turn disks), BestScale (digital patient lift scales), and BestSling (universal, replacement, and disposable slings). Underlying technology includes hydraulic pumps, battery-powered electronic control systems using TiMotion actuators (TA23, TA24, TA37) and TC12 control boxes, mechanical lifting mechanisms, and a patented spreader bar and sling hook system with a downward-pressure locking mechanism. The product line spans weight capacities from 350lb to 700lb and includes bariatric, home care, and acute-care variants.

The company manufactures in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified facilities audited by SGS, with products certified to ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, ANSI/AAMI HA60601-1-11, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601-1, and ISO 10535:2006 standards covering both US and Canadian markets. Bestcare's business model is hardware sales of durable medical equipment through an authorized dealer network, supplemented by a parts and accessories e-commerce storefront (MedicalPartsWorld.com). Pricing is dealer/quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with select products eligible for Medicare reimbursement under code E0630. The company sells replacement slings compatible with competitor systems from Liko, Guldmann, Hoyer, and Invacare, positioning itself to capture aftermarket sling consumption from rival installed bases.

Bestcare serves three primary vertical segments: hospitals (acute care patient handling), nursing homes (long-term care resident transfers), and home care/private residences (portable and foldable product variants such as the PL350CT and PL400EF). Customer concentration is opaque in the available data, with no named end-customer logos disclosed. The company has 11-50 employees and operates as a profitable, independent private company with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership transitions in the source material. Recent strategic activity is concentrated in product launches (PL600P and SA600P powered-base models in 2025; PL400H and PL400HE home care models in 2026) that extend the portfolio into premium ergonomic and home care tiers.
