Palmer Home Transitional Care
Palmer Home helps young men and women ages 18–24 as they enter adulthood and pursue their next steps. Recognizing this critical time of life, Palmer Home’s transitional care guides young adults as they begin healthy, independent lives.
A Safe Space to Land
The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be daunting for anyone, but for young adults aging out of foster care, it presents unique challenges.
Programs like Palmer Home’s Transitional Care are crucial because it fills a gap that often exists for young adults who are no longer eligible for foster care but are not yet ready to be completely independent.
Why Palmer Home Provides Support Into Adulthood
At Palmer Home, we are committed to our children for a lifetime. We recognize that young adults need guidance and coaching to build life skills as they work toward independence, successful adulthood, and responsible citizenship.

Palmer Home transitional care communicates the love of God as young adults discover who they were created to be.
built-in support network

skill development
Through intentional mentorship, young adults develop the interpersonal skills, accountability and responsibility adulthood requires.
6+ Students in College
Last year, Palmer Home guided more than half a dozen students into their college years and independent adulthood.
Aryanne's Story
Aryanne came to Palmer Home at age 13 with her guard up—angry and scared. Over time, as her houseparents listened and gently guided her through middle and high school, she began to trust and grow.
Aryanne recently graduated high school and is looking forward to the opportunities ahead of her. Read more here about Aryanne’s goals for the future!
Michael's Story
Michael came to Palmer Home in 2019. He was 14 years old when he learned that his mother had a terminal illness and could no longer care for him. While at Palmer Home, Michael excelled in home life and the classroom. We found that not only did he have a great sense of humor, but he was also hard-working.
Today, having received several awards and scholarships, Michael is a Junior in college with plans to graduate and eventually attend culinary school.
