Today, the BSB offers older adults self-determined living with professional services and comprehensive care to the highest standards. With its wide variety of offerings, the BSB also meets the diverse needs of people with disabilities: at the BSB, they find adapted workplaces and suitable living arrangements, and thanks to assessments, trial apprenticeships, and training, they receive professional prospects. In doing so, the BSB ensures their professional and social integration. The BSB is a company of the Bürgergemeinde Basel and makes a substantial contribution to Basel's social fabric.
