Press Release
NMH Holdings, Inc. and National Mentor Holdings, Inc.
Announce Concurrent Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations for Outstanding Notes

Boston, MA – January 19, 2011 — NMH Holdings, Inc. (“NMH Holdings”), the indirect parent company of National Mentor Holdings, Inc. (“National Mentor”), announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to all of its outstanding $224,400,924 aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate Toggle Notes due 2014 (the “Toggle Notes”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in NMH Holdings’ Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of January 19, 2011 (the “NMH Holdings Statement”). National Mentor announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to all of its outstanding $180,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 111/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in National Mentor’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of January 19, 2011 (the “National Mentor Statement”).

In connection with the tender offers, NMH Holdings is soliciting consents from the holders of the Toggle Notes and National Mentor is soliciting consents from the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes for certain proposed amendments that would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the indenture governing the Toggle Notes and the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. The proposed amendments will be set forth in supplemental indentures that are described in more detail in the NMH Holdings Statement and the National Mentor Statement. The supplemental indentures will not be executed unless and until NMH Holdings has received consents from holders of at least seventy-five percent of outstanding principal amount of the Toggle Notes and National Mentor has received consents from holders of a majority of outstanding principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes (excluding, in each case, notes held by NMH Holdings, National Mentor or any of their affiliates), and the amendments will not become operative unless and until NMH Holdings has purchased the NMH Holdings Notes pursuant to the NMH Holdings Statement and National Mentor has purchased the Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to the National Mentor Statement, in each case on the early settlement date described below. Holders who tender notes will be deemed to consent to the proposed amendments, and holders who consent will be required to tender their notes.

The tender offers and consent solicitations are subject to customary conditions, including, among others, the receipt of requisite consents to each supplemental indenture and a condition that NMH Holdings and National Mentor receive net proceeds from a proposed refinancing in an amount sufficient to fund all of their obligations under the tender offers and consent solicitations and to repay all of the obligations under National Mentor’s existing senior secured credit facilities and term loan mortgage facility.
