Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Baden-Württemberg e.V.

What Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Baden-Württemberg e.V. does

Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Baden-Württemberg e.V. (ASB Baden-Württemberg) is a registered German welfare association (eingetragener Verein) and regional state chapter of the federal Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Deutschland e.V., headquartered in Stuttgart. It is one of the largest providers of diverse social services in Baden-Württemberg, operating across 21 regional divisions with 69 nursing homes (over 4,000 care places), 65 assisted living complexes (~2,500 apartments), 16 day care facilities, and more than 20 outpatient care services. Its service portfolio spans emergency rescue (Notfallrettung), medical transport (Krankenfahrten), inpatient, outpatient and day elderly care (Pflegeheime, Ambulante Pflege, Tagespflege, Kurzzeitpflege, Betreutes Wohnen), disability support, child and youth welfare, first aid training, meals on wheels, and a home emergency call system. It also runs the Wünschewagen, a donation- and volunteer-funded program fulfilling last wishes for terminally ill individuals, and publishes a quarterly members' magazine.

The organization's revenue model is driven primarily by reimbursements from Germany's statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) and long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) under SGB V and SGB XI, supplemented by individual membership fees, donations, and limited training/event service fees. Service delivery is human-care intensive with no proprietary technology platform described in available sources; the organization's competitive position rests on geographic density, regulatory status as a Wohlfahrtsverband, brand recognition, and its in-house Landeschule training infrastructure across four cities. Major workforce and policy moves in 2024-2025 — including a renewed Ver.di collective bargaining agreement (effective May 1, 2025), the introduction of a Fachkraftzulage for skilled workers, and joint advocacy with PARITÄTISCHER Wohlfahrtsverband — reflect active labor and policy positioning amid Germany's chronic care-sector labor shortage.
