The increasing elderly population in Indonesia, particularly in Palangka Raya City, presents various health challenges including fall risk that can lead to morbidity and mortality. This community service activity aimed to conduct early detection of fall risk among the elderly in the working area of Menteng Community Health Center, Palangka Raya. The method used was observational assessment using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and fall risk factor questionnaire. Results showed that 42.5 percent of elderly had high risk for falls based on TUG results (greater than 14 seconds), 38.2 percent had poor balance based on BBS (less than 45), and the main risk factors identified were muscle weakness, vision impairment, and unsafe environmental conditions. Interventions included fall prevention education, balance exercises, and environmental modifications. Post-intervention evaluation showed improved knowledge among the elderly about fall risks and prevention methods. This activity successfully increased awareness among the elderly and their families about the importance of early detection of fall risk and can serve as a model for similar programs in other regions
