“This acquisition marks a significant milestone in Best Life Brands’ commitment to enhancing the quality of life for seniors by offering an entirely new service vertical,” Best Life Brands said in a March 25 news announcement. “Under the umbrella of Best Life Brands, Next Day Access will continue its mission to provide innovative accessibility solutions, including wheelchair ramps, stairlifts, grab bars and bathroom modifications. With this acquisition, Best Life Brands aims to further strengthen its position as a comprehensive resource for aging adults seeking to maintain independence and improve their quality of life.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Next Day Access to the Best Life Brands family, as this strategic acquisition aligns perfectly with our vision of empowering aging individuals to live their best lives, regardless of mobility challenges,” said J.J.
