Adult Care Home Pre-Remodel Inspection Assessment

Please note, we are booked out around 2-3 weeks for this service.

Remodel 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. Get expert guidance before you remodel.

Adult Care Home Pre-Remodel Inspection Service
This service includes:

• Inspection of the home to both to determine and document if there was work done on the house, and to provide guidance on remodeling options to add additional bedrooms, install an ADA-compliant ramp, lower windows, add an addition, etc.​
• Livability and safety assessment to determine options for livability for residents and the live-in provider, and also identifying any possible fire and life safety issues;
• Permit history verification to determine if any work was possibly done without permit based on the findings of the inspection, as this could create issues when you apply to get licensed. This may include us pulling permit history, communicating with the local building department and checking the County assessor's office;​ and
• Professional Recommendations for remodeling your home based on adult foster care home requirements, building code and standard construction techniques.

​The cost of this service depends on the size of the house and location. Please complete the form below, and we will connect with you for a quote.

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.
