Kitchen & Appliance Layouts (MDH)

Under Minnesota Rule 4626 (Food Code), all kitchens in Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) must comply with strict standards for food safety, sanitation, and operational efficiency. Our Kitchen & Appliance Layouts are designed to ensure your facility meets these requirements by detailing the placement of stoves, sinks, refrigerators, dishwashers, and designated food preparation areas.

These layouts also include an enlarged kitchen plan, specifically designed in accordance with MDH requirements, providing a clear and detailed representation of equipment placement, circulation, and zoning as required for licensing approval.

These layouts are more than simple diagrams, they establish a logical and safe workflow:

Proper separation of clean and dirty zones to avoid contamination.
Compliance with inspection requirements from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).
Optimized appliance placement for efficiency, staff workflow, and food safety.
A hygienic, resident-centered kitchen environment that promotes quality of life and regulatory approval.

By integrating these layouts into your licensing package, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your facility’s kitchen will meet every inspection standard and support both staff performance and resident safety.
