About the company
Why Tellegacy was started. After finding out from a community Chaplain friend that older adults in retirement communities were passing away, not from a pandemic, but from an epidemic of loneliness and a broken heart due to isolation from family and friends, Jeremy Holloway, PhD, decided to create a flexible, relationship-oriented mindfulness, goal setting and guided imagery curriculum that can be facilitated by University students via phone or virtually one-on-one with older adults in retirement communities. Tellegacy program make meaningful intergenerational connections, we think it can save lives.
