Objective: to identify the demands of hospitalized elderly, and of their companions, after correction of proximal femur fracture by fall, and to propose health education measures. Method: this convergent care study was conducted from January to December 2016 with 102 hospitalized older adults and their companions, after correction of proximal femur fracture by fall. Data were produced by conversation interview and participant observation. Results: the older adults’ demands and those of their companions involved doubts and fears about mobilization, restrictions on movement, obtaining and using walkers, and the need for guidance from professionals about modifications to the home and preventing further falls. Conclusion: the problematization and dialogue enabled them to set out their needs and think about possible strategies to meet or alleviate their demands. It is important to involve the older adults and their companions in educational actions for care consistent with the needs and realities they experience.
