Day
and Overnight Passes
A home pass is
highly recommended close to discharge. This will allow the family and
rehabilitation team the chance to see how the patient functions in the
home and community. A pass may also help with discharge planning. Sometimes
unforeseen problems occur during a pass. This gives the family, patient,
therapists and physician an opportunity to correct the problem prior to
discharge. Community and home passes also help motivate the patient for
the transition home and for increased independence.
