SKILLED HEALTHCARE GROUP REPORTS STRONG THIRD QUARTER REVENUE AND

DILUTED EPS EXCLUDING NON-RECURRING CHARGES OF $0.25

RAISES FULL YEAR NON-GAAP GUIDANCE

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.— November 1, 2010—Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE: SKH) today announced its unaudited consolidated financial operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010.

“We are pleased with our third quarter results which were driven by strong revenue growth from our hospice and home health acquisition in May and from our long-term care business. Increased volumes and average per patient day rates drove long-term care revenue growth of nearly four percent as compared to the third quarter last year – a significant accomplishment given the challenging economic and reimbursement environments,” noted Boyd Hendrickson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. “Additionally, our hospice and home health acquisition is meeting our expectations and was accretive to earnings in 2010.”

Mr. Hendrickson continued, “Financially, the Company continues to generate higher cash flows from continuing operations as compared to a year ago. Among other things, our continued focus on collections has decreased our total company days sales outstanding by seven days over the last year leading to improved cash flows.”

Mr. Hendrickson concluded, “Overall, we view our strong operating performance as a direct result of the hard work and dedication of our employees who remain focused on providing high quality care. We are proud to say that, in the past two years, a total of 59 of the facilities, or nearly 86 percent of those eligible centers that applied, have been recognized for their commitment to quality care by receiving a National Quality award from AHCA/NCAL.”

Raising Guidance

Skilled Healthcare Group is raising its 2010 full year guidance, excluding the impact of the $53.5 million litigation charge incurred in the third quarter of 2010. The Company expects revenue to be between $805 million and $812 million. Adjusted EBITDAR is expected to be in the range of $135 million to $139 million and Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $116 million

to $120 million. Diluted adjusted net income per common share is expected to be between $0.92 and $0.97. This Adjusted EBITDAR, EBITDA and net income guidance excludes non-recurring items reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as referenced in the following Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation table comprised of the aforementioned litigation charge. Additionally, this guidance assumes the following:

• Fiscal year 2011 Medicare rates along with the impact of RUGs IV and the elimination of concurrent therapy are, combined, expected to be better than budget neutral.

• No change in aggregate Medicaid rates.

• Average interest rate on debt of approximately 8 percent and dilution from new term loan and revolver refinancing of approximately $0.08 due to increased interest expense.

• 2010 capital expenditures of approximately $26 million.

• An effective tax rate of 38 percent.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide useful information to investors regarding our operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of our core business activities. Specifically, we believe that a report of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provide consistency in our financial reporting and provides a basis for the comparison of results of core business operations between our current, past and future periods. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods, including trending and analyzing the core operating performance of our business from period-to-period without the effect of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, expenses, revenues and gains (losses) that are unrelated to the day-to-day performance of our business. We also use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to benchmark the performance of our business against expected results, to analyze year-over-year trends, as described below, and to compare our operating performance to that of our competitors.

Management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to assess the performance of our core business operations, to prepare operating budgets and to measure our performance against those budgets on an administrative services segment and a facility by facility level. We typically use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR for these purposes, on a consolidated basis (because the adjustments to EBITDA are not generally allocable to any individual business unit), and we typically use EBITDA and EBITDAR to compare the operating performance of each skilled nursing and assisted living facility, as well as to assess the performance of our reporting segments: long term care services, which includes the operation of our skilled nursing and assisted living operating companies; and ancillary services, which includes our rehabilitation therapy and hospice operating companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are useful in this regard because they do not include such

costs as interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, rent cost of revenue and special charges, which may vary from business unit to business unit and period to period depending upon various factors, including the method used to finance the business, the amount of debt that we have determined to incur, whether a facility is owned or leased, the date of acquisition of a facility or business, the original purchase price of a facility or business unit or the tax law of the state in which a business unit operates. These types of charges are dependent on factors unrelated to the underlying business unit performance. As a result, we believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful and consistent comparison of our underlying businesses between periods by eliminating certain items required by GAAP which have little or no significance in the day-to-day operations. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDAR excludes rent cost of revenue, it is useful in comparing leased facilities to owned facilities.

We also make capital allocations to each of our companies based on expected EBITDA returns and establish compensation programs and bonuses for the facility level employees that are based in part upon the achievement of pre-established EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA targets.
