Transition to Community Referral (TCR) Program

The Mississippi Access to Care Center is the designated Local Contact Agency to support the resident’s expressed interest in being transitioned from the nursing facility to community living.  Once the LCA has been notified of the resident’s request, information about community living options and available supports and services will be provided to the resident or their responsible party.  The Transition to Community Referral Form is the tool used to initiate the process and identify services needed for a successful transition.
