Today the ASB covers numerous areas, including nursing services, driving services, a senior citizen forum and the nursing home in Dahlen, which is particularly known for its high quality in support. There, 73 people not only find a home, but also professional support from 60 employees who take care of the residents with a lot of commitment. asb-ov-brb.de confirms that the nursing home has existed since 1952 and was taken over by the ASB in 1994.
