Some patients may go home on day leave, or carers can come into the ward to practice the activities needed to care for the patient at home.

This helps family carers develop confidence and also identifies any additional support or equipment that will be needed at home.
Day leave is arranged by the treating team in consultation with the patient and carer.
Limited overnight leave is only permitted in special circumstances.
