BRISTOL Tastes of home will fill the Sheriden Woods Health Care Center under the guidance of the new director of dining services, Matt Mazzone.

His mission is to create diets that are as close as possible to what the residents would eat at home while still following doctors considerations, such as residents with diabetes getting smaller slices of cake or pie. The center specializes in providing its patients with Lymphedema management, short-term and long-term rehabilitation, respite and hospice and dementia care.

Mazzone is motivated by making a difference to the variety of guests who he serves.

You never know if its their anniversary or even their last meal in our situation. I want to make it as memorable as possible, Mazzone said.

Its a 365 day job. Thats assumed, but it really is. You have to feed 400 meals a day, 365 days, whether there is a blizzard or other catering functions. You have to make sure they put out the top quality product to the audience, make sure deliveries are there, and that staffing is where it should be, Mazzone said.

One challenge he faces that people might not expect is as more things are easier to research online, people have a tendency to think they are more educated than professionals, Mazzone said. Sometimes he finds it difficult to explain everything from start to finish.

Everything is so accessible through cell phones, so they want things instantly and think they know better than you do, he said.

With his education and work at a country club, fine dining restaurant and an Italian restaurant, he has many years of experience contributing to his knowledge.

Mazzone didnt always know that he wanted to work in the culinary arts, but found that it was always really easy for him. He grew up watching The Food Network when it began to take off in the mid to late 90s with his dad and it inspired him.

He began to make his passion a career in the culinary program at HC Wilcox Technical High School. His next step was continuing his education by majoring in Food Service Management and minoring in Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales.

To this day, Mazzone never wants to stop learning and educating. He plans to help develop the team at Sheriden Woods and take time for self-reflection on how he can improve. His main focus in his new role is to enhance the life of the residents through the dietary program and educate and train the staff while ensuring the food quality is to the five star standards. Educating the staff will involve culinary exercises and daily group meetings.

Last year Sheriden Woods was deficiency free, according to the Department of Public Health. Mazzone would like to continue that record and improve resident satisfaction through the dietary experience he helps provide.
