Vineyards at Concord: Nutrition Plan Failures - OH

Healthcare Facility
Vineyards At Concord, The
Frankfort, OH  ·  1/5 stars

The inspection, completed April 28, stemmed from a complaint. What inspectors found was a chain of ignored recommendations stretching back months, with a resident caught in the middle.

When the resident was admitted on January 2, 2026, no initial nutritional assessment was completed. That assessment would have established what the resident actually needed. It was never done. No care plan addressing the resident's nutritional status or weight loss was created either, a fact the administrator confirmed when inspectors asked directly on April 16.

The dietitian had recommended the facility use Ready Pass, a commercial supplement, for residents at risk of or experiencing weight loss. The facility stocked Ready Pass. As of April 16, only two residents were receiving it.

Everyone else was getting the house supplement, a whey protein powder blend containing creatine and amino acids, mixed by the cook without a consistent formula. The cook told inspectors the supplement wasn't intended for weight loss at all, but for extra protein, and that she varied the ingredients batch to batch.

The dietitian said she had become aware the facility was using the whey powder and had recommended they stop, specifically because of how inconsistently it was being prepared. Her recommendation to switch all eligible residents to Ready Pass had not been carried out.

The medical director learned about the whey protein powder for the first time during his interview with inspectors on April 16. He said he would have recommended whatever the dietitian suggested.

The dietitian had already suggested it. Months had passed. The resident still had no nutrition plan on file, no assessment in the record, and no guarantee the supplement reaching them each day contained anything close to what the last batch had.
