VMA Presents: Life Care Management Discussion
Adrianna Stankovich
Aging Services Senior Program Manager
If managing your health care, personal care, and daily living have become stressful for you and/or your family, you may find comfort with Life Care Management (LCM). This is a personalized service that helps people and their families plan, coordinate and manage care across medical, social and daily living needs, especially as those needs evolve over time. Please plan to join Adrianna Stankovich on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 from 11:00 to 12:00 in the Sequoia Room as she discusses how her company Ability Link can help you stay in your own home longer, simplify complex insurance and housing systems, how to navigate key transitions, and how to support you and your family. The focus of Ability Link is on the whole person. Beyond doctors and medications, true wellbeing includes social connection, daily support, and quality of life. LCM helps support long-term wellbeing.
Adrianna Stankovich is the Aging Services Senior Program Manager at Ability Link with extensive experience designing and leading programs that support older adults and family caregivers across community and healthcare settings. Her work is driven by a commitment to strengthening the safety net for older adults and caregivers.

VMA Presents: A Journey Through Loss and Grief
Karen Kleinberg
When we lose someone, we love deeply, our entire world changes. Maybe you have lost someone you love. Maybe a dear friend is struggling with grief. To understand the journey toward hope and healing, please join Karen Kleinberg on July 29th at 11 AM in the Sequoia Room. Karen will discuss the physical and emotional impact of grief and help us see how healing is not about “moving on”. Healing is about learning to carry love and loss together. At the session, Karen will provide a handout with important “to do’s” in the days and weeks after the loss of the loved one.
Karen is a fellow Villager who moved here in 2022 with her husband Jerry Kleinberg. Karen and Jerry were high school sweethearts who married in 1964. When Jerry passed away in 2025, Karen began her own journey of grief and healing. She continues to tackle her life alone, with incredible support and encouragement from her friends, family and church.
Please register online or by phone at 408-238-4029.
