Fayehagen

NKS Fayehagen is a respite residence in Bergen, Norway, offering support to families with particularly demanding care responsibilities. Its service is designed for adolescents and young adults with multiple disabilities, providing round-the-clock care and accommodation so families can receive planned or additional respite. The residence has seven places shared among 21 young people and adults from across Bergen, as well as one emergency place that may be used for a shorter or longer period. When unexpected circumstances arise within a family, the municipality may allocate extra respite care.

Fayehagen presents its approach as “your day, your way,” emphasizing an individual-focused service. The organization also shares information about its services, workplace, and history, and invites people to follow its daily life on Instagram. Based at Welhavensgate 72 in Bergen, Fayehagen can be contacted by phone or email. It welcomes open job applications, while vacancies are advertised on Finn.no.
