Stroke survivors', caregivers', and health care professionals' perspectives on the weekend pass to facilitate transition home.

CONCLUSIONS: When offering weekend passes, stroke care systems should carefully consider patients' and caregivers' readiness, emotional state, and preparation for weekend passes. The weekend pass experience can inform in-patient therapy, provide patients and caregivers with insight into life after stroke, and help prepare patients and families for the ultimate transition home.
