What CDM, CFPP
Means to Me...
Jenni Matz, CDM, CFPP
Certified Dietary
Manager, Christian
Community Homes and
Services, Inc.,
Hudson, WI
Amy Lou Inez Clark,
CDM, CFPP
Nutrition Director,
Montesano Health and
Rehabilitation Center,
Montesano, WA
" I have worked at my facility for 19 years and have
been the CDM, CFPP for the last eight years. In the
next year, our current director is retiring, and I am
hoping to take that position then. I have done many
positions since coming to this facility. I started out
as a dietary server, then a line cook, then an office
assistant, then a CDM, CFPP, and hopefully will
become director. Being in each of these past positions
has really helped me in my current position. Even
though not every day is rosy, as you all well know, I
think the impact we make on the lives of our residents
is important and the reason I still enjoy my job as a
CDM, CFPP.
" These last few months dealing with the daily changes
and challenges due to COVID-19 has shown me
how resilient and strong my team is here. We have
employees with varying degrees of panic about what
these next few months will bring as our cases increase
around our community. However, even the ones that
feel that the apocalypse is coming are still showing up
every day and working hard. Our management team
has been trying to alleviate as much fear as possible.
I think just the fact that our building was one of the
first in our area to not allow visitors, to make every
staff member take their temperature when they come
in, and to wear a mask makes people feel better.
Also, our maintenance staff is busy making one of
our halls a negative pressure isolation area so if we
do get COVID-19 in our building, those residents can
be in that hall. We have daily meetings to address
the concerns of our staff and to update them on any
changes that have been made (which is almost daily).
I am very proud of everyone who works here and how
well they have been willing to pitch in wherever they
see a need. "
" I have been in Nutrition for the past 30 years and a
member of ANFP for the past 19 years. I have seen
several changes along the way. This position is always
a challenge and I learn every day. That is what makes
this a great position for me, as I am always willing to
learn and enjoy challenges to the fullest. "
