Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 3, 2010, AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Form 8-K reporting under Item 1.01 its entry into a purchase agreement to acquire three skilled nursing facilities located in Georgia.  On May 5, 2011, the Company filed Form 8-K reporting under Item 2.01 reporting the completion of the acquisition of two of the three skilled nursing facilities known as Southland Care Center and Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center.  The December 3, 2010 and May 5, 2011, Forms 8-K are incorporated by reference in this filing.

On May 31, 2011, CP Property Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of the operations of and selected assets of a skilled nursing facility from SPTIHS Properties Trust and Five Star Quality Care-GA, LLC.  The property acquired is known as College Park Healthcare Center (“CPHC”), a 100 bed skilled nursing facility located in College Park, Georgia.  The purchase price was $5,250,000.

Through separate Operations Transfer Agreements, the Company obtained control of the CPHC facility effective June 1, 2011.  The Company had paid $500,000 in earnest money upon entering the purchase agreement and an additional $400,000 to extend the closing dates to April 29, 2011, for the Southland Care Center and Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center facilities and to extend the closing date to May 31, 2011 for CPHC.

To complete the acquisition of CPHC, the Company entered a business loan agreement for $2,840,000 (the “Loan 1”).  The Loan 1 matures on May 1, 2031, accrues interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and may be repaid without penalty.  Loan 1 is secured by the CPHC facility and guaranteed by AdCare Health Systems, Inc., and by Christopher Brogdon and his spouse.  Additionally, the Company entered a short term loan agreement for $2,034,000 (the “Loan 2”).  Loan 2 is secured by the CPHC facility as well as the facility known as Autumn Breeze Healthcare Center.  Additionally, the Company has assigned certificates of deposit as additional collateral in the initial amount of $500,000.  The Company will be required to pledge additional certificates of deposit over the next eight months in the event the loan is not refinanced.  Loan 2 is also guaranteed by Christopher Brogdon and his spouse.  The Company plans to replace this short term financing with permanent long term financing prior to Loan 2’s maturity date.

Item 8.01 Other Matters

On June 1, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the acquisitions described under Item 2.01 above.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
