Adult Care Home Pre-Purchase Inspection Assessment

Get services from the company that pioneered the ACH Pre-Purchase Inspection Assessment™ in Oregon.

Due to our limited availability, please reach out to us before or when you put an offer on a home to discuss this service before the offer is accepted.

Buy with confidence.* An adult care home is not your standard residential home. It is a business in your home and with that comes State, county and local government regulation. Our ACH Pre-Purchase Inspection Assessment is a highly-specialized service that is beyond the scope of your home inspector. This is not a home inspection but a specialized assessment and professional recommendation for feasibility for use as an adult care home.  

Your house is one of the largest investments you'll make. Benefit from our expertise and combined 30+ years of experience in adult foster home requirements and regulation, construction techniques, and building inspection experience and knowledge of building code requirements. Inspection assessments are conducted by Oregon Care Home Consulting LLC with professional guidance from Care Construction NW. ​

​We strongly encourage anyone looking to purchase a home to convert to an adult foster home or even a home that was an existing adult foster home to get a pre-purchase assessment before you close on a house.

• Important information: Licensing is cracking down on unpermitted work in adult foster homes, which has been very common over the last couple of decades. Common issues we are seeing include unpermitted bedrooms and licensing not licensing a home due to unpermitted bedrooms. A pre-purchase inspection can potentially save you a huge headache, a lot of time, and could literally save you tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars!​

In March 2019, I was in the process of buying a second home and I asked Alyssa to come and inspect the home before purchasing. She was readily available and came with a measuring tape with a mind of a licensor. She inspected every area of the home and her insight encouraged me to purchase my second home. I highly recommend services that Alyssa offers through her consulting firm. She is respectful, professional, a good listener and very educational.

Working with Alyssa is very beneficial to individuals who would like to start a care home. It helps seeing her first because she has so much information and ways to help, including with the paperwork. I’m happy I had the opportunity to find someone to go over my application before I submitted it to DHS. It was very helpful.

Even with having a home before, having Alyssa look over my [initial] application and do a mock inspection of the home made it a lot easier for me to be prepared for the State licensing inspection. Also, it makes it easier for the licensor and makes the process faster. I was able to get my license in less than four weeks. I really recommend Alyssa, especially for new providers.
