What this service does for you
Unlike Baselland and Solothurn, Basel-Stadt has only one KESB for the whole canton, based at Rheinsprung in Basel's old town. It takes action when an adult can no longer manage their financial or personal affairs after a severe stroke and has made no private provisions. Family members can submit a report of concern or ask in advance about the available options. People who write an advance directive in good time can often avoid official measures.
