This is a quasi-experimental design with repeated observations, taken at baseline, post-intervention, and at one and three months post-intervention. Participants will be patients hospitalized with cognitive disorders o dementia and a femur fracture. The study will be developed in four general hospitals in Spain and will include 430 patients with dementia (PwD) and their informal caregivers (IC). The study sample will be assigned to the control group (n=215) from each hospital involved and will receive the standard treatment. After completing the recruitment for the control group, the investigators will start to recruit patients until experimental patient group is complete (n=215) from each hospital to whom the CARExDEM intervention will be implemented.
