Suddy Salgado
Administrator, Oakton Pavillion
As Administrator, Suddy has had prior experience having been Generations at Regency’s administrator from 2019 to 2022. She began her 10-year career in long term care as a volunteer in the activity department. Shortly after, she started working as a receptionist. After observing and admiring how the facility took care of their residents, Suddy knew that health care was where she wanted to work.
Once she graduated from Amundsen High School, Suddy immediately began to excel in her professional career. She worked in the business office where she assisted in Human Resources and finances. Her talents did not go unnoticed as she was offered the role of Business Office Manager. In this role, she managed departments like Admissions and Human Resources. Most recently, Suddy has worked in the capacity of Generations at Regency’s Assistant Administrator for the past 5 years and just obtained another achievement by obtaining her Nursing Home Administrator license. Most recently, she was the Administrator at Generations at Regency, and now has taken on the role to serves as the Administrator of Generations at Oakton Pavillion.
She chose working in health care because, “I get to help people and positively make a difference in their lives. I am a very family-oriented person and I get to practice that every day.”
