Also, they wound give green beans instead of the Key [NAME] blend because they believe the green beans were easier to hold on to then the Key [NAME] blend which tends to get mushy when cooked. She indicated the cook gave the Cheetos puffs in place of the pasta and verified this was not an appropriate substitution. She indicated the alternate sandwich was a chicken patty and the resident does not like chicken, so the cook put ground meat on a bun for her. She did not know why she did not get the veal patty because she was a regular diet not a mechanical soft. She stated she did not do the menus, so she did not 365440 Page 4 of 6 365440 08/18/2022 Arlington Care Center 98 South 30th Street Newark, OH 43055
