Advocat Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Advocat” or the “Company”) provides long-term care services to nursing center patients in eight states, primarily in the Southeast and Southwest. The Company’s centers provide a range of health care services to their patients and residents. In addition to the nursing, personal care and social services usually provided in long-term care centers, the Company’s nursing centers offer a variety of comprehensive rehabilitation services as well as nutritional support services.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s continuing operations consist of 47 nursing centers with 5,445 licensed nursing beds. The Company owns 9 and leases 38 of its nursing centers. The nursing center and licensed nursing bed count includes 90 beds at the Company’s recently opened West Virginia nursing center. This new nursing center is licensed to operate by the state of West Virginia and was recently certified. During the Medicare and Medicaid certification process the nursing center had limited the number of patients it accepted. The nursing center and licensed nursing bed count does not include the recently leased 88-bed skilled nursing center in Clinton, Kentucky. The Company will include this center once it is reopened as a licensed nursing center. The Company’s continuing operations include centers in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.
