About | Malik Senior Care Consulting

I'm Abdimalik Mohamud, most people call me Malik. Before any title or license, I'm a husband. That's the order I keep my life in, and it's the same care I bring into every building I'm responsible for.

Background

One of my first jobs was at Right Track, an organization serving troubled and under-resourced youth in the Saint Paul ghetto. As an underprivileged kid raised in that same neighborhood, Right Track is where I learned the professional skills I had never been taught at home, how to show up, how to communicate, how to carry myself in a workplace. It taught me early that people don't need to be talked down to, they need someone who shows up and does the work with them.

Right Track is also how I got my first professional job. At 16, through that program, I landed at the Minnesota Department of Health in the Home Care and Assisted Living Program (HCALP). I went out on state surveys, did clerical work, scanned licenses, tracked fees, shadowed every person in the department, and handled the little things licensors were too busy to do. I've been absorbing this industry ever since.

Experience & Education

I went on to the University of Minnesota and earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Healthcare Management, with a minor in Public Health and an applied business certificate. I took the Long-Term Services and Supports coursework and was grandfathered in as a Licensed Assisted Living Director based on my combination of experience and education.

For six years I was a manager at Hammer Residences, overseeing multiple group homes, intermediate care facilities, and a waivered 245D apartment program. I left Hammer in August 2026 to step into consulting full time, bringing everything I learned in those buildings with me.

Current Roles

Today I oversee five assisted livings as the director of record, including HuunoCare in Shakopee. I am still hands-on in the buildings, because I believe the best consulting comes from someone who is living the work, not just reading about it.

As the need for honest, experienced 144G guidance keeps growing, I am expanding the consulting side of my practice and building a team of high-quality experts who can step in and support operators the right way. My goal is simple: help more owners open strong, stay compliant, and keep residents at the center of every decision.

Husband first. Hard worker second.
