ABOUT ME


My name is Igor Molchanov and this is a little blog about my history and background. I was born in Odessa, Ukraine and moved with my family to Los Angeles in 1979 where I was raised.
I attended UCLA and obtained my B.S. degree in Physiological Science in 2000 and went on to work in the field of geriatric services/health care. Currently, I am pursuing an MBA degree from California State University, Channel Islands. Since 1999, I have been fortunate enough to be a part of a team that provides adult day health care services to seniors. Serving as administrator of the facility, I have been able serve and offer an assortment of therapeutic activities and treatments to many seniors who suffer from various illnesses and those who need assistance with acitivities of daily living. Unfortunately, our ADHC has recently undergone an ownership change and the new owners are bringing in their own management team, so I was forced to look for a new job and was successful in landing one with a great company: Sunrise Senior Living. I will serve as their Alzheimer's Care Director for their Santa Monica facility. I am very excited to be making this career transition.
My greatest blessings in life, undoubtedly have been my wonderful wife, Violet, and my son Nicholas. They are my motivation and the main reason why I am pursuing my MBA degree at CSUCI.
In 5 years from now, I hope to climb the management ranks at Sunrise Senior Living and become an Executive Director in about a year or so. As boring and mundane as it might sound, I strongly believe that my career calling in life is healthcare and given the demographic projections of the aging population in the next 20-30 years, I am confident that the geritric services industry will continue to grow. On the family front, I hope I am lucky enough to have another child in the next couple of years...
