Expertise You Can Trust: The Story of Better Living

Better Living is the dedicated consumer website of Beechfield Healthcare. For over 30 years, we have been a premier provider of specialised medical equipment to hospitals, nursing homes, and the HSE.

We launched betterliving.ie to give you direct access to that same professional-grade equipment, backed by the expertise of a team that has served the Irish healthcare system since 1996.

Why Choose Better Living?

While many online marketplaces simply move boxes, we are healthcare specialists. Every product on this site is selected based on the rigorous standards we maintain for our professional clients in hospitals, nursing homes and the HSE.

Our Key Features

• Clinical Heritage: Leveraging over 30 years of experience as a primary supplier to the Irish public health service.
• Local Support: Based in Portlaoise, our Irish team provides specialised aftercare and advice that international marketplaces cannot match.
• Professional Standard: Every item in our B2C range meets the same durability and safety criteria required by nursing home groups nationwide.

Our History

Beechfield Healthcare Ltd. was incorporated in 1996 to solve equipment sourcing challenges in the Irish care sector. Originally founded as an equipment division for nursing homes, we quickly gained a reputation for sourcing innovative, high-quality products.

In 2008, the company was acquired by Trevor Flanagan, a product specialist who relocated the headquarters to Portlaoise. This move allowed us to utilise the national motorway network, ensuring we could provide rapid equipment support to every corner of Ireland.

Milestones of Trust:

• HSE Partnership: Since 2011, we have been a key provider on the government 'Framework Agreement for the Supply of Aids and Appliances'.

• Hospital Integration: In 2022, we completed a total bed management replacement programme for Tallaght University Hospital, a first for a public hospital in Ireland.

• Specialised Care: We operate a family of specialised healthcare brands, including Beechfield Sleep (Sleep Apnoea), Beechfield Rehab (Stroke Recovery), and Beechfield Stairlifts (Home Access).

Our Commitment to You

As healthcare providers, our goal is to make professional-quality equipment accessible to everyone. Whether you are looking for a motorised wheelchair or daily living aids, you are supported by the same team that Ireland’s top clinicians trust every day.

Professional-grade mobility aids, backed by 30 years of clinical expertise.
