In a care home, day room kitchenette area does the fridge need to be a commercial fridge or can it be a standard fridge like one you can pick up at Argos/AO etc? The fridge holds milk/juices, butter for residents.

In most work environments the fridge etc. are all purchased from normal white goods suppliers

Commercial kitchens e.g. hotels / restaraunts that get a lot of abuse you would invest in more serious kit

Even take aways use "domestic" goods if you look at the various TV programmes so why do you presume you need something extra special?

Agree with Zyggy; I have been in many many care homes and small fridges in domestic style environments such as day rooms or kitchenettes are invariably domestic. One thing to consider is temperature checking: this is best done without opening the fridge door if possible, so a probe with a captive readout can be handy if there's room on the fridge top for the display,
