About the Article
In this timely piece, Dr. Holloway sheds light on a critical yet under-discussed issue: the connection between social isolation and increased fall risk among older adults. Drawing from both research and lived experiences through the Tellegacy intergenerational program, the article explores how meaningful social engagement can improve balance, motivation, and mental well-being—factors that significantly reduce the risk of falls.
Dr. Holloway emphasizes that fall prevention isn’t only about physical therapy or home modifications; it’s also about human connection, routine, and feeling seen. The article encourages aging service providers and health professionals to think more holistically about their prevention strategies.
