Improving Care for Frail Older Adults Using a Digital Needs Assessment Tool

The goal of this trial is to evaluate whether a digital needs-assessment tool can improve care planning and outcomes for frail older adults (aged 60 years and above) hospitalized in Singapore. The tool is designed to identify patients' health and social service needs and support better care coordination after hospital discharge. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of a digital needs-assessment tool improve the identification and management of health and social service needs in frail older adults? * Does this approach improve patient outcomes, such as quality of life, care satisfaction, and healthcare utilization after discharge? Participants will: * Respond to a baseline questionnaire * Receive a personalized care plan based on identified needs by the tool * Be followed up at 1 month and 3 months after discharge through surveys * Some participants will receive additional follow-up phone calls to review care needs and service use * A subset of participants will take part in interviews to share their care experiences

Preoperative Use of Peripheral Nerve Blocks in Elderly Patients With Hip Fractures

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of different peripheral nerve blocks in older adults with hip fractures. It will also explore the safety of preoperative administration of peripheral nerve blocks. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * which peripheral nerve block is the best regarding analgesia * which peripheral nerve block eases positioning and decrease time necessary for applying spinal anesthesia? * which peripheral nerve block is associated with reduced intake of analgesics, both oral and intravenous? * which peripheral nerve block lasts long enough but does not interfere with the start of physical therapy? * what medical problems do respondents have during their hospitalization, after administration of peripheral nerve blocks, spinal anesthesia and surgery? * what medical problems arise as a consequence of their complex medical history? Researchers will compare respondents who receive peripheral nerve blocks to those who do not. Those who do not receive blocks will be given fentanyl preoperatively, which was until recently standard at our institution. All respondents will, in addition to obligatory intraoperative monitoring,: * be thoroughly examined by anesthesiologists before surgery * be closely monitored after surgery, until their hospital discharge.

Cognitive Groove (Brought to You by GERAS DANCE)

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a community-based rehabilitation intervention (Cognitive Groove, Brought to you by GERAS DANCE), compared to usual care, on clinical outcomes in community-dwelling older adults living with frailty. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. In community-dwelling older adults living with frailty, is Cognitive Groove more effective than usual care in improving functional movement, physical performance and strength? 2. In community-dwelling older adults living with frailty is Cognitive Groove more effective than usual care in improving frailty status, fear of falling, balance confidence, mood, cognition, grip strength, activities of daily living, life space mobility, loneliness, and quality of life? 3. As a community-based rehabilitation intervention, is Cognitive Groove a cost-effective intervention embedded within the community for older adults living with frailty after 12-months? Participants will participate in Cognitive Groove classes twice per week for 3 months or receive no intervention (usual care).
