About Us
Lundersveg Day and Respite Care Center is centrally located in Raufoss and is part of the Adapted Services in Vestre Toten Municipality.
We provide day and respite care services for children and youth with various disabilities and complex support needs. A children’s home is also affiliated with the facility.
The children and youth we work with have different needs, interests, and abilities. Some require extensive assistance and support, while others need guidance, structure, and accommodations to manage as much as possible on their own.
What they all have in common is the need to be seen, understood, and treated as who they are.
We provide individually tailored services and targeted environmental support, and we aim to further develop a professional environment characterized by collaboration, reflection, and knowledge-based practice.
With us, no two days are alike—and we hope you’ll enjoy that too!
