•Embedded qualitative study:
•1. Patient-caregiver dyads and physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nursing staff who deliver the HIP HELPER intervention who consent to participate in the qualitative study
•2. Patient cognitive impairment in 30% of dyads includedin the qualitative study

•1. Acute, unstable, or terminal illness which would make participation in the rehabilitation strategies contraindicated and/or impractical
