On April 9, 2010, Riverchase Village ADK, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered a Purchase Agreement with CSC Enid Properties, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, to acquire the assets of Riverchase Village, a 105 bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama.  The purchase price is $5,000,000 with an anticipated closing date of May 28, 2010.  The Company paid $150,000 upon signing the purchase agreement as earnest money.

Exhibit 99.1


AdCare Health Systems to Acquire Alabama Assisted Living Facility for $5.0 million

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, April 13, 2010 - AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: ADK), an Ohio-based long-term care, home care and management company, has signed a definitive purchase agreement for a privately-held assisted living facility in Hoover, Alabama (a suburb of Birmingham) for $5.0 million.


The 105-unit facility, which AdCare is purchasing from a bank, is currently 59% occupied. At 85% occupancy, the facility is capable of producing annual revenue of more than $3.0 million. Management expects to close the transaction within 45-60 days.


“This is the third facility we have agreed to acquire in the last few weeks, and one of several potential acquisitions in our pipeline,” said Chris Brogdon, AdCare’s vice chairman and chief acquisitions officer. “We have secured financing to purchase this facility, and when occupancy improves under our more capable management, we expect this acquisition to be very profitable for AdCare.”


“We plan to take further advantage of foreclosures and poorly run facilities, which we can purchase below market prices, and target acquisitions of both profitable and turnaround properties to grow our company,” said Brogdon.


The financing to purchase the 105-unit assisted living facility will be provided via a 30 year fixed-rate loan. According to Brogdon: “This kind of affordable, long-term financing is typical of what we expect for future acquisitions of this type. It allows AdCare to expand its operations quickly through acquisitions without being dilutive to shareholders or creating a complicated capital structure.”


Brogdon joined AdCare last September when the company announced a new M&A growth strategy to build upon its strong reputation for operational efficiency and high-quality living environments, as well as its increasing financial strength. AdCare recently reported its fifth consecutive year of revenue growth and its first profitable year as a public company.
