In care homes, kitchens aren’t just back-of-house – they’re vital to resident wellbeing.
Meals must be safe, nutritious, and prepared in environments that pass rigorous inspections.

Hygiene is Non-Negotiable
Layouts must prevent cross-contamination. Clear zoning of raw and cooked foods, colour-coded prep areas, and hands-free wash basins are essentials.
Staff Comfort & Workflow
Kitchens in care homes often run long shifts. Ergonomic design reduces fatigue: correct counter heights, clear sightlines, and logical equipment placement.
Meeting Regulation
Care kitchens are regularly inspected. Poor design can lead to penalties. Ovation ensures kitchens meet Environmental Health and CQC requirements.
Energy & Cost Efficiency
Care homes often work on tight budgets. Our designs specify energy-efficient equipment that reduces running costs without compromising compliance.
