PROXY STATEMENT

The board of directors of Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc. (“Diversicare” or the “Company”) is soliciting proxies for this year’s annual meeting of shareholders. This proxy statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on matters brought before the meeting. Please read it carefully.

The board has set April 22, 2015, as the record date for the meeting. Shareholders who owned Diversicare common stock on that date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting. On the record date there were 6,233,738 shares of Diversicare common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share owned of record. Cumulative voting is not permitted. The Company has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series, although no series of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

This proxy statement and enclosed proxy were initially mailed or delivered to shareholders on or about April 30, 2015. The Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, is being concurrently mailed or delivered with this proxy statement to shareholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The Annual Report is not to be regarded as proxy soliciting material. In addition, this proxy statement and the Annual Report are available on our website at www.DVCR.com.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement and proxy form?

You are receiving this proxy statement and proxy form because you own shares of Diversicare common stock. This proxy statement describes issues on which you are entitled to vote. If your shares are registered in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, you are considered to be the owner of record of those shares and these proxy materials are being sent to you directly. When you sign the proxy form, you appoint Kelly J. Gill, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and James R. McKnight, Jr., the Company’s Secretary, or either of them, as your representative at the meeting. Mr. Gill and Mr. McKnight will vote your shares at the meeting as you have instructed on the proxy form. This way, your shares will be voted even if you cannot attend the meeting.

If your shares are not voted in person or by telephone or on the Internet, they cannot be voted on your behalf unless you provide our Secretary with a signed proxy authorizing another person to vote on your behalf. Even if you expect to attend the meeting in person, in order to ensure that your shares are represented, please vote using the telephone or Internet voting instructions found on the enclosed proxy card or complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy form and return it promptly.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or in the name of another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, trustee or nominee together with a voting instruction form. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner is not the owner of record, you may not vote these

1

shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the annual meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.

Who is soliciting my proxy and who is paying the cost of the solicitation?

The Company’s board of directors is sending you this proxy statement in connection with its solicitation of proxies for use at the 2015 annual meeting. Certain of our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or in person. The Company will pay for the costs of solicitation. Diversicare has decided to engage Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the board of directors. As of the date of this proxy, we expect to pay Georgeson a customary fee of approximately $7,000 plus expenses for its assistance. We do not expect to pay any other compensation for the solicitation of proxies, except to brokers, nominees and similar record holders for reasonable expenses in mailing proxy materials to beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock.

What am I voting on?

At the annual meeting you will be asked to vote on three proposals. The first proposal is the election of two “Class 3 Directors” to serve a three-year term on the Company’s board of directors. The second proposal is an advisory vote on the Company’s compensation paid to our named executive officers. The third proposal is to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Who is entitled to vote?

Only shareholders who owned Diversicare common stock as of the close of business on the record date, April 22, 2015, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the shares that they held on that date at the meeting, or at any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.

How do I vote?

You may vote your shares either in person at the annual meeting, by telephone, on the Internet or by mail. To vote by mail, you should mark, date, sign and mail the enclosed proxy in the prepaid envelope provided. Instructions for voting on the Internet or by telephone may be found in the Proxy Voting Instructions accompanying the proxy card. If your shares are registered in your own name and you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy in person. “Street name” shareholders, that is, those shareholders whose shares are held in the name of and through a broker or nominee, who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares if they did not receive one directly. Shares held in street name may also be eligible for Internet or telephone voting in certain circumstances if the owner did not receive a proxy form directly.

2

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy form?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with Mr. McKnight either a written notice of revocation or another signed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and inform the Secretary that you wish to revoke or replace your proxy. Your attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy. If you hold your shares in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee, you may revoke your proxy by following instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. No notice of revocation or later-dated proxy will be effective until received by Mr. McKnight at or prior to the annual meeting.

What is the board’s recommendation and how will my shares be voted?

The board recommends a vote FOR proposals 1, 2 and 3. If properly signed and returned in time for the annual meeting, the enclosed proxy will be voted in accordance with the choices specified thereon. If any other matters are properly considered at the meeting, Mr. Gill and Mr. McKnight will vote as recommended by the board of directors on such matters, or if the board does not give a recommendation, Mr. Gill and Mr. McKnight will have discretion to vote as they think best on such matters, in each case to the extent permitted under the Federal Securities Laws. If you return a signed proxy, but do not specify a choice, Mr. Gill and Mr. McKnight, as the persons named as the proxy holder on the proxy form, will vote as recommended by the board of directors. If a broker submits a proxy that indicates that the broker does not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on one or more matters, those shares will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to such matters. Abstentions will be counted as shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and are counted in the tabulations of votes cast on proposals presented to shareholders. Each proposal is tabulated separately.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy form?

If your shares are registered in your name and you do not return your proxy form or do not vote in person at the annual meeting, your shares will not be voted. If your shares are held in street name and you do not submit voting instructions to your broker, your broker may vote your shares for you. Brokers normally have discretion to vote on routine matters, such as ratification of auditors, but not on non-routine matters, such as shareholder proposals. Uncontested director elections are no longer considered routine matters and brokers no longer have discretion to vote on any director election.

How many votes are needed to hold the annual meeting?

As of the record date, the Company had a total of 6,233,738 shares of outstanding common stock. A majority of the Company’s outstanding shares as of the record date (a quorum) must be present at the annual meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. Shares are counted as present at the meeting if: (a) a shareholder is present and votes in person at the meeting; (b) a shareholder has properly submitted a proxy form, even if the shareholder marks abstentions on the proxy form; or (c) a broker or nominee has properly submitted a proxy form, even if the broker does not vote because the beneficial owner of the shares has not given the broker or nominee specific voting instructions and the broker or nominee does not have voting discretion (a “broker non-vote”). A share, once represented for

3

any purpose at the meeting, is deemed present for purposes of determining a quorum for the meeting (unless the meeting is adjourned and a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting), even if the holder of the share abstains from voting with respect to any matter brought before the meeting.

What vote is required to adopt the proposals to be considered at the meeting?

The nominees for director who receive the highest number of FOR votes cast will be elected. Withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the proposal to elect directors.

Approval of Proposals 2 and 3 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions are shares that are present and entitled to vote, so abstentions have the same effect as a vote against Proposals 2 and 3. Broker non-votes are not considered shares that are entitled to vote and thus will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Proposals 2 and 3 are advisory votes and do not obligate the Company to take any action.

Can I vote on other matters or submit a proposal to be considered at the meeting?

The Company has not received timely notice of any other shareholder proposals to be considered at the annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Shareholders may submit matters for a vote without inclusion in this proxy statement only in accordance with Rule 14a-4(c) or the Company’s bylaws. The Company does not intend to present any other business at the annual meeting and does not know of any other business intended to be presented other than as discussed or referred to in this proxy statement (the date specified in the Company’s bylaws for advance notice of proposals by shareholders has passed). If any other matters properly come before the annual meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will vote the shares represented by the proxy in the manner as the board of directors may recommend, or in their discretion.

It is contemplated that the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders will take place in June 2016. Shareholders’ proposals will be eligible for consideration for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2016 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 if such proposals are received by the Company before the close of business on December 31, 2015. Notices of shareholders’ proposals submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 will generally be considered timely (but not considered for inclusion in our proxy statement), pursuant to the advance notice requirement set forth in Rule 14a-4(c). For shareholders seeking to present a proposal at the 2016 annual meeting without inclusion of such proposal in the Company’s proxy materials, the proposal should be received by the Company no later than March 15, 2016.

Are there any dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights with respect to any of the proposals described in this proxy statement?

There are no appraisal rights or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the matters to be voted upon.

4

How do I communicate with directors?

The board has established a process for shareholders to send communications to the board or any of the directors. Shareholders may send communications to the board or any of the directors by sending such communication addressed to the board of directors or any individual director c/o Diversicare Healthcare Services, Inc., 1621 Galleria Boulevard, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027. All communications will be compiled and submitted to the board or the individual directors on a monthly basis.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

How many directors are nominated?

The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that the number of directors to be elected by the shareholders shall be at least three and not more than 15, as established by the board of directors from time to time. The number of directors is currently set at six.

The certificate of incorporation requires that the Company’s board of directors be divided into three classes which are as nearly equal in number as possible. The directors in each class will serve staggered three-year terms or until a successor is elected and qualified. Class 1 directors are currently serving until the 2016 annual meeting; Class 2 directors are currently serving until the 2017 annual meeting and Class 3 directors, if reelected, will serve until the 2018 annual meeting.

What happens if a nominee refuses or is unable to stand for election?

The board may reduce the number of seats on the board or designate a replacement nominee. If the board designates a replacement nominee, we will file and deliver an amended proxy statement that (1) identifies the replacement nominee, (2) discloses that such nominee has consented to being named in the revised proxy statement and to serve if elected, and (3) includes the information with respect to the replacement nominee that is required to be disclosed by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy solicitation rules of the Exchange Act. Only after such supplemental disclosure will the shares represented by proxy be voted FOR the replacement nominee. The board presently has no knowledge that any nominee will refuse, or be unable, to serve.

Must director nominees attend our annual meeting?

It is the Company’s policy that all of its directors attend the annual meeting, if possible. All of the directors attended the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. All directors and all nominees are expected to be in attendance at the 2015 meeting.

Who are the board nominees?

Information regarding the nominees is provided below, including name, age, principal occupation during the past five years, the year first elected as a director of the Company and the expiration date of each such director’s term. Each of the Class 3 nominees for director is presently a director of the Company.

Is the board independent?

The board of directors has determined that five of the Company’s current six directors, i.e., all of the non-management directors, are independent as NASDAQ defines independence under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The Company’s non-management directors meet in executive sessions, without management present, on a regular basis.

What is our board structure?

The board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of chief executive officer and chairman of the board as the board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based on the current membership of the board and position of the Company. The board has determined that having an independent director serve as chairman is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders at this time. This structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing board priorities and procedures. Further, this structure permits the chief executive officer to focus on the management of the Company’s day-to-day operations.

How does the board manage the Company’s risks?

Management of risk is the direct responsibility of the Company’s CEO and the senior leadership team. The board of directors oversees and reviews certain aspects of the Company’s risk management efforts. Our full board regularly engages in discussions of risk management and receives reports on risk management from members of management. Each of our board committees also considers the risk within its areas of responsibility. In addition, during 2013 the Company established a risk management committee of the board as described below. We believe this structure provides effective oversight of the risk management function.

What committees has the board established?

The board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a risk management committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s purpose is to (1) identify individuals qualified to serve on the board and to recommend that the board select director nominees to be considered for election at the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders, (2) identify members of the board to serve on each board committee, (3) develop and revise as appropriate corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company and (4) oversee the evaluation by the board of itself and its committees. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and nominating and corporate governance committee charter are posted on the Company’s website at www.DVCR.com.

The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that any nominee that it recommends for a position on the Company’s board of directors must possess high standards of personal and professional integrity, and have demonstrated business judgment and such other characteristics as it deems appropriate to demonstrate that he or she would be effective, in conjunction with the other directors and nominees for director, in serving the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The nominating and corporate governance committee’s assessment of existing directors and new director nominees includes issues of diversity, age, contribution to the meetings, the ability to work with other directors and skills such as understanding of long-term

11

health care, healthcare background, and the perceived needs of the board at that point in time. The nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit recommendations for director nominees from other directors, the Company’s executive officers or any other source that it deems appropriate. To evaluate any potential nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will review and evaluate the qualifications of any proposed director candidate and conduct inquiries into his or her background to the extent that it deems appropriate under the circumstances.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will review and evaluate the qualifications of any director candidates who have been recommended by shareholders of the Company in compliance with the policies described above. Any shareholder submitting a recommendation for a director candidate must submit it to the secretary at the Company’s corporate headquarters no later than the 120^th calendar day before the date the Company’s proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. The secretary of the Company will forward all recommendations to the nominating and corporate governance committee. The shareholder’s recommendation must include information about the shareholder making the recommendation and about the proposed director candidate. All proposed director candidates will be evaluated in the same manner, regardless of the source of the initial recommendation.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is composed of Mr. O’Neil as chairman, Mr. Olson and Mr. Hensley. The board believes that each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee is independent under the NASDAQ rules. The nominating and corporate governance committee held two telephonic meetings and acted by one written consent action during 2014.

Audit Committee. The Company has a separately designated standing audit committee that is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The audit committee supervises matters relating to the audit function, reviews the Company’s quarterly reports, and reviews and approves the annual report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee also has oversight with respect to the Company’s financial reporting, including the annual and other reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the annual report to the shareholders. The audit committee is composed of Mr. Hensley as chairman, Mr. Brame, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. McCurdy. The board of directors, in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the audit committee are independent directors, qualified to serve on the audit committee pursuant to Rule 5605(a)(2) under NASDAQ’s Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) regarding heightened independence standards for audit committee members. The board has determined that Mr. Hensley qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as described in Regulation S-K Item 407(d). There were four meetings of the audit committee during 2014. The audit committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is posted on our web site at www.DVCR.com.

Compensation Committee. The compensation committee presently is composed of Mr. McCurdy as chairman, Mr. Brame and Mr. Olson. The board believes that each member of the compensation committee is independent under the NASDAQ rules. Responsibilities of this committee include approval of remuneration arrangements for executive officers of the Company, review of compensation plans relating to executive officers, including benefits under the Company’s compensation plans, and general review of the Company’s employee compensation policies. At the Committee’s discretion, the approval of stock option awards to employees, other than to the Company’s executive officers, may be delegated to the Company’s

12

executive officers. The compensation committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.DVCR.com. During 2014, the compensation committee held three meetings, two of which were telephonic, and acted by one written consent action.

Risk Management Committee. The risk management committee was formed as of June 24, 2013, and is composed of Mr. Brame as chairman, Mr. Hensley and Mr. McCurdy. The board believes that each member of the risk management committee is independent under the NASDAQ rules. Responsibilities of this committee are to (1) assess and provide oversight to management relating to the identification and evaluation of professional liability risks inherent in the business of the Company and the control processes with respect to such risks; (2) oversee the risk management, compliance and control activities with respect to professional liability claims of the Company; (3) oversee the integrity of the Company’s systems of operation controls regarding professional liability risks and (4) assess and provide oversight and approval to management with respect to settlement of material professional liability claims. The risk management committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is posted on our website at www.DVCR.com. During 2014, the risk management committee held five meetings, one of which was telephonic.

How often did the board of directors meet during 2014?

During 2014, the board of directors held nine meetings, three of which were telephonic, and four written consent actions. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the board of directors and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which the individual director served.

How are directors compensated?

The directors who are not officers, employees or consultants of the Company (currently directors Brame, Hensley, McCurdy, O’Neil and Olson) receive a director’s fee of $30,000 annually, $2,500 per board meeting attended, and $2,000 for each planned committee meeting. The audit committee has four planned meetings each year, and the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee each have two planned meetings during the year. Board and committee chair annual retainers consist of $20,000 for the Board chair, $10,000 for the Board vice-chair, $15,000 for the audit chair, $14,500 for the risk management chair, and $7,500 each for the nominating and corporate governance chair and the compensation chair, with each retainer paid in quarterly installments. Additional telephonic board and committee meetings and non-planned committee meetings on the day of other meetings are paid at $500 each. Directors are also entitled to participate in the Company’s health care plan. Directors who are officers or employees of the Company or its affiliates have not been compensated separately for services as a director. Directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings.

In March 2014, each non-employee director was granted 333 shares of restricted stock. This restricted stock vests one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. In March 2015, each non-employee director was granted 333 shares of restricted stock. This restricted stock vests one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. These grants were made in 2015 and therefore are not included in the table below.

13

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has engaged Compensation Strategies to review the Company’s current director compensation. As of the date of this proxy statement, no changes have been made to director compensation, but the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee anticipates making recommendations to the full board to make some changes to the directors’ compensation in 2015. The following table shows the compensation of each of our non-employee directors during 2014.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following section describes the compensation that the Company paid to its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer during 2014 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”) as well as the Company’s compensation plan for its executive officers in 2015.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Decisions on compensation of our executive officers are made by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee consists of Mr. McCurdy, Mr. Brame and Mr. Olson. The board of directors has determined that each member of the compensation committee is an independent director. It is the responsibility of the compensation committee to assure the board that the executive compensation programs are reasonable and appropriate, meet their stated purpose and effectively serve our needs and the needs of our shareholders.

We believe that the executive compensation program should align the interests of shareholders and executives. Our primary objective is to provide high-quality patient care while maximizing shareholder value. The compensation committee seeks to forge a strong link between our strategic business goals and our compensation goals. We believe our executive compensation program is consistent with this overall philosophy for all management levels. We believe that the more employees are aligned with our strategic objectives, the greater our success on both a short-term and long-term basis. The compensation committee has discussed and concluded that we do not believe our policies and practices of compensating our employees, including non-executive officers, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company because such policies and practices do not relate to risk management practices and risk-taking incentives. The Company’s say-on-pay proposal was approved by over 66% of the votes cast at the 2014 annual meeting. The Committee and the Board had a discussion of the results of such shareholder vote and given the significant level of shareholder support, the Committee did not materially revise the Company’s compensation policies and decisions relating to the named executive officers as a result of such vote. The Committee will continue to consider the outcome of shareholder votes and other shareholder feedback in making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers. The Committee did not hire a compensation consultant for 2014, although it did hire a compensation consultant when establishing 2015 compensation.

Our executive compensation program has been designed to support the overall strategy and objective of creating shareholder value by:

• Performance-based. Emphasizing pay for performance by having a significant portion of executive compensation “at risk.”

• Retention. Providing compensation opportunities that attract and retain talented and committed executives on a long-term basis.

• Balance. Appropriately balancing the Company’s short-term and long-term business, financial and strategic goals.

16

In connection with this overall strategy, we strive to give assurance of fair treatment and financial protection so that an executive will be able to identify and consider transactions that would be beneficial to the long-term interests of shareholders but which might have a negative impact on the executive, without undue concern for his personal circumstances. We also give consideration to safeguarding the business of the Company, including protecting the Company from competition and other adverse activities by the executive during and after employment.

The Company’s strategic goals are:

• Profitability. To maximize financial returns to its shareholders, in the context of providing high-quality service.

• Quality. To achieve leadership in the provision of relevant and high-quality health services.

• Stability. To be a desirable employer and a responsible corporate citizen.

In order to accomplish our objectives, the compensation committee strives to design its executive compensation such that when the Company meets or exceeds its annual operating goals, the annual executive pay targets (i.e., base salary plus incentive) are competitive with the compensation of similar U.S. public healthcare companies having similar revenues.

Elements of Our Compensation Program for Named Executive Officers

As a result, we have generally established the following elements of compensation for our Named Executive Officers:

Base Salary

We pay base salaries to our Named Executive Officers which are intended to be at or near the market median for base salaries of similar companies. These amounts are evaluated annually. We believe that such base salaries are necessary to attract and retain executive talent.

In evaluating appropriate pay levels and salary increases for our Named Executive Officers, the compensation committee considers achievement of our strategic goals, level of responsibility, individual performance, internal equity and external pay practices. The annual base salaries of our Named Executive Officers during 2014 were as follows:

Name	Position	2014 Salary
Kelly J. Gill	Chief Executive Officer	$	450,000
Leslie D. Campbell	Chief Operating Officer	$	300,000
James R. McKnight, Jr.	Chief Financial Officer	$	275,000

2014 Annual Incentive Plan

On February 28, 2014, the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approved the 2014 Annual Incentive Plan for the Company’s executive officers. The 2014 Annual Incentive Plan provides the following Targets:

17

Position	Bonus Target
Chief Executive Officer	100% of base salary
Chief Operating Officer	100% of base salary
Chief Financial Officer	100% of base salary

The following categories make up the potential bonus amounts:

Achieving Targeted Revenue	50	%
Achieving Budgeted Quarterly Census	20	%
Achieving Budgeted Earnings	30	%
Total	100	%

The compensation committee also has the discretion to grant bonuses based on pro forma results or as otherwise determined by the compensation committee in its discretion. The compensation committee also approved an incentive plan that provides a one-time bonus for each Named Executive Officer equal to his or her respective then current annual base salary upon the achievement of $20 million in EBITDA for a trailing four-quarter period.

Target Revenue: 50% of the bonus is based on achieving target revenue run rate for 2014 of $400 million. In addition, the board will have the discretion to make other adjustments for unusual or unbudgeted items.

Quarterly Census: 20% of the target bonus is based on the achievement of budgeted quarterly census.

Budgeted Earnings: 30% of the bonus is based on the Company’s profitability based on achieving annual budgeted earnings.

18

Evaluation of 2014 Performance:

Below is a table that demonstrates the application of the 2014 Annual Incentive Plan for each of the Named Executive Officers as of December 31, 2014.

Category	Achievement	Bonus Amount by Category
		Mr. Gill			Ms. Campbell			Mr. McKnight
Target Revenue (50%)	100% achieved	$	225,000		$	150,000		$	137,500
Quarterly Census (20%)	100% achieved	$	90,000		$	60,000		$	55,000
Budgeted Earnings (30%)	100% achieved	$	135,000		$	90,000		$	82,500
Total Bonus		$	450,000		$	300,000		$	275,000
Percent of Target			100	%		100	%		100	%

In addition, the 2014 Annual Incentive Plan allowed the compensation committee, in its sole discretion, to pay all or part of the bonus earned under the 2014 Annual Incentive Plan in shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares that would be issued in the discretion of the compensation committee would be such number of shares with a fair market value on the date of award equal to the amount of the bonus being paid in common stock. None of the 2014 bonuses were paid in shares of stock.

In 2013, Mr. Gill, Ms. Campbell and Mr. McKnight elected to use a percentage of their 2014 annual bonus to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to use a designated portion of their salary or bonus to purchase shares of stock at a 15% discount from the market price. The shares issued under the Stock Purchase Plan are either shares of restricted stock or restricted share units (“RSUs”), at the election of the compensation committee. Under the Stock Purchase Plan, the restricted stock shares or RSUs are purchased in March of the following year at the time the incentive bonus is paid and remain restricted for a two-year period at which time they become fully vested, provided the employee is with the Company on that date. The following Named Executive Officers purchased RSUs with a portion of their 2014 bonus. This purchase was made on March 10, 2015.

Name	Bonus Used to Purchase RSUs		Number of RSUs Purchased
Kelly J. Gill	$	157,500		15,057.36
Leslie Campbell	$	90,000		8,604.21
James R. McKnight, Jr.	$	$68,750		6,572.66

Long-Term Incentives

Our long-term incentive compensation program has historically consisted of nonqualified stock options and SOSARs, the intrinsic value of which is related to improvement in long-term shareholder value. Prior to 2011, each of the Named Executive Officers was granted SOSARs as disclosed in the summary compensation table. In March 2011, the Company elected to issue

19

restricted stock instead of SOSARs, which are also disclosed in the summary compensation table. These grants generally vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. This structure encourages the executive to remain with the Company. In addition, the grant of restricted stock increases the executive’s ownership in the Company and provides an incentive that focuses the executive’s attention on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business. These grants also focus operating decisions on long-term results that benefit the Company and its long-term shareholders.

The grant of restricted stock or other equity award is recommended to the compensation committee by the Chief Executive Officer excluding grants to himself. The compensation committee considers the recommendations along with a review of the group of individuals recommended. While we do not currently have written policies for the issuance of awards, we have never relied upon either the release of material information or the non-release of material information when issuing the grants. Generally, equity grants have been made at least three business days after the earnings release for the previous fiscal year.

Retirement and Post Employment Compensation

We have long sponsored a qualified defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”), which is available to all employees, including our Named Executive Officers. Qualified plans such as the 401(k) Plan carry with them a limit on the amount of compensation that employees can defer. Each of our Named Executive Officers is considered highly compensated and their contributions to the 401(k) Plan are limited. The Company maintains a non-qualified Executive Incentive Retirement Plan (“EIRP”). The EIRP provides a Company-matching contribution for eligible employees’ retirement savings on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For 2014, the EIRP match was equal to 6% of their salary. The Company makes a cash payment to each participating employee on a quarterly basis. All of the Company’s Named Executive Officers participated in the EIRP in 2014 and the amounts of the Company contribution are included in the Summary Compensation Table under Other Annual Compensation. As this is paid to the executive in cash, the executive is free to invest or not invest the money as he sees fit.

Each of our Named Executive Officers has an employment agreement with the Company as described in more detail under “Is the Company a party to any key employment agreements or advisor agreements?” below. These agreements formalize the terms of the employment relationship, and assure the executive of fair treatment during employment and in the event of termination as well as requiring compliance with certain restrictions on competition. Employment agreements promote careful and complete documentation and understanding of employment terms, including strong protections for our business, and avoid frequent renegotiation of the terms of employment. Conversely, employment agreements can limit our ability to change certain employment and compensation terms. We provide severance protection to our senior executives in these employment agreements. This includes protection in the event of outright job termination not for Cause (“Cause” being limited to specified actions that are directly and significantly harmful to the Company) or in the event we change the executive’s compensation opportunities, working conditions or responsibilities in a way adverse to the executive such that it is deemed a Constructive Discharge as specified in such employment agreements. We believe that this protection is designed to be fair and competitive to aid in attracting and retaining experienced executives. We believe that the protection we provide, including the level of severance payments and post-termination benefits, is appropriate and within the range of competitive practices. These employment agreements do not require any type of gross-up payment for tax obligations of the executive as a result of such severance payments.

20

We also provide severance payments and benefits if the executive should resign or be terminated without Cause within six months after a change in control. This protection permits an executive to evaluate a potential change in control without concern for his or her own situation or the need to seek employment elsewhere. Change-in-control transactions take time to unfold, and a stable management team can help to preserve our operations either to enhance the value delivered to a buyer in the transaction (and by extension the price such a buyer is willing to pay) or, if no transaction is consummated, to ensure that our business will continue without undue disruption and retain its value. Finally, we believe that the change-in-control protections in place encourage management to consider on an ongoing basis whether a strategic transaction might be advantageous to our shareholders, even one that would vest control of the Company in a third party. The compensation committee believes that the potential cost of executive change-in-control severance benefits are well within the range of reasonableness relative to general industry practice, and represents an appropriate cost relative to its benefits to the Company and its shareholders.

The employment agreements also subject our executive officers to significant contractual restrictions intended to prevent actions that potentially could harm our business, particularly after termination of employment. These business protections include obligations not to compete, not to hire away our employees, not to interfere with our relationships with suppliers and customers, not to disparage us, not to reveal confidential information, and to cooperate with us in litigation. Business protection provisions are included in agreements and equity awards. In addition, we have adopted an Employee Standards and Code of Conduct that require all of our employees, including our executive officers, to adhere to high standards of conduct. Failure to comply with this Code of Conduct or our Corporate Compliance Program or applicable laws will subject the executive to disciplinary measures, which may include loss of compensation, stock, and benefits, and termination of employment for cause.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Compensation

The compensation committee makes all final determinations with respect to executive officers’ compensation, based on information provided by management and an appraisal of the Company’s financial status. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the compensation committee relating to the compensation of executive officers who directly report to him, but the compensation committee has full autonomy in determining executive compensation.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for executive compensation in excess of $1.0 million. To date, the Company has not adopted a policy with respect to section 162(m) of the Code. The 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan approved by shareholders in 2010 permits awards that satisfy the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code.

21

2015 Compensation

In late 2014, the Company engaged Compensation Strategies to advise the Compensation Committee on executive compensation and to advise the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on director compensation. Prior to engaging Compensation Strategies, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee discussed whether there was any conflict of interest with Compensation Strategies. The Committees considered and discussed the following factors:

• provision of other services to the company by the person that employs the consultant;

• amount of fees paid by the company to the person that employs the consultant as a percentage of that person’s total revenue;

• policies and procedures of the person that employs the consultant regarding the prevention of conflicts of interest;

• any business or personal relationship between the consultant and any member of the committee;

• ownership by the consultant of the company’s stock; and

• any business or personal relationship between the compensation advisor or the person that employs the compensation advisor and any executive officer of the company.

Based on these factors, the Committees concluded that there was no conflict of interest with the engagement of Compensation Strategies by the Committees.

Compensation Strategies recommended a peer group for the Company to use for consideration of its current payment practices. This peer group consisted of 17 companies and included the following:

SunLink Health Systems, Inc.	Hanger, Inc.
The Ensign Group, Inc.	Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc.
BioScrip, Inc.	National HealthCare Corp.
RadNet, Inc.	Healthways, Inc.
LHC Group, Inc.	Alliance HealthCare Services, Inc.
Cross Country Healthcare, Inc.	Almost Family, Inc.
Capital Senior Living Corp.	Addus HomeCare Corp.
U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc.	USMD Holdings, Inc.
AdCare Health Systems, Inc.

Based on this peer group, Compensation Strategies determined that each of the named executive officers’ base salary was below market and that the long-term incentives were substantially below market.

Achieving Targeted EBITDA Growth	33.33	%
Discretionary	33.33	%
Total	100	%

Target Revenue: 33.33% of the bonus is based on achieving target revenue run rate for 2015 of $500 million. In addition, the board will have the discretion to make other adjustments for unusual or unbudgeted items.

Target EBITDA Growth: 33.33% of the target bonus is based on the achievement of targeted EBITDA Growth.

Discretionary: 33.33% of the bonus is based on the compensation committee’s discretion based on an assessment of the overall performance of the Company.

In addition, the 2015 Annual Incentive Plan allows the compensation committee, in its sole discretion, to pay all or part of the bonus earned under the 2015 Annual Incentive Plan in shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares that would be issued in the discretion of the compensation committee would be such number of shares with a fair market value on the date of award equal to the amount of the bonus being paid in common stock.

The compensation committee also has the discretion to grant bonuses based on pro forma results or as otherwise determined by the compensation committee in its discretion. The

23

compensation committee also approved the continuation of the incentive plan that provides a one-time bonus for each Named Executive Officer equal to his or her respective then current annual base salary upon the achievement of $20 million in EBITDA for a trailing four-quarter period.

⁽¹⁾  Amounts represent target bonus for 2014 based upon the salaries of the executive officers as of December 31, 2014. The target amount is based on the Company achieving 100% of budget. The amount actually paid under this non-equity incentive plan is included in the Bonus column or the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.

⁽²⁾  These shares of restricted stock were granted in 2014 and the expense is recognized for financial statement purposes over the vesting period beginning in 2014.

⁽³⁾  These awards are also included in the Summary Compensation Table and the Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End Table.

On March 12, 2014, Mr. Gill was granted 25,000 shares of restricted stock, Ms. Campbell was granted 12,500 shares of restricted stock and Mr. McKnight was granted 12,500 shares of restricted stock. This grant vests one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant. This grant was based on the performance of the Named Executive Officer in 2013; however, this grant of equity awards is required to be included in the table for the year(s) when granted and are therefore included in these compensation tables or equity award tables. On March 10, 2015, Mr. Gill was granted 25,000 shares of restricted stock, Ms. Campbell was granted 12,500 shares of restricted stock and Mr. McKnight was granted 12,500 shares of restricted stock. These shares vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant, provided the executive remains with the Company on such date. These grants were based on the performance of the Named Executive Officer in 2014. These grants were awarded in 2015 and are required to be included in the table for the year(s) when granted and are therefore not included in these compensation tables or equity award tables.

Is the Company a party to any key employment agreements or advisor agreements?

Yes. The Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement effective April 1, 2012 with Mr. Gill. Mr. Gill’s agreement was amended in March 2013. The employment agreement had an initial term of one year. Thereafter, the employment agreement renews automatically for one-year periods unless 30 days’ notice is given by either the Company or the employee. The employment agreement may be terminated by the Company without cause at any time and by the employee as a result of “constructive discharge” (e.g., a reduction in compensation or a material change in responsibilities) or a “change in control” (e.g., certain tender offers, mergers, sales of substantially all of the assets or sales of a majority of the voting securities). In the event of a termination by the Company without cause, or at the election of the employee upon a constructive discharge or upon the Company giving notice of its intent not to renew his employment agreement, Mr. Gill is entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to 12 months of his monthly base salary. In the event there is a change in control of the Company, and Mr. Gill resigns or is terminated due to either a Without Cause Termination or a Constructive Discharge, he is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 200% of the sum of his Base Salary as in effect at the time of such termination or resignation and the average of the past three years, incentive compensation award paid. Following a termination without cause or a constructive discharge, Mr. Gill’s benefits and perquisites as in effect at the date of termination of employment will be continued for eighteen (18) months, or if the termination is as a result of a change in control, the benefits and perquisites will be continued for twenty-four (24) months. Furthermore, upon such termination, he may elect to require the Company to repurchase options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for a purchase price equal to the difference between the fair market value of the common stock at the date of termination and the stated option exercise price, provided that such fair market value is above the stated option price. In the event the employment agreement is terminated earlier by the Company for cause (as defined therein), or by Mr. Gill other than upon a constructive discharge or a change in control, he will not be entitled to any compensation following the date of such termination other than the pro rata amount of his then current base salary through such date. Upon termination of employment, other than in the case of termination by the Company without cause or at the election of the employee upon a constructive discharge or upon a change in control, Mr. Gill is prohibited from competing with the Company for 12 months.

27

Effective August 13, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McKnight to serve as Chief Financial Officer. The employment agreement with Mr. McKnight has an initial term until March 31, 2013 and renews automatically for one-year periods unless 30 days’ notice is given by either the Company or Mr. McKnight. The agreement with Mr. McKnight provides for a base salary of $225,000 per year, subject to change by the compensation committee. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Campbell to serve as Chief Operating Officer. The employment agreement with Ms. Campbell has an initial term until June 30, 2013 and renews automatically for one-year periods unless 30 days’ notice is given by either party. The agreement with Ms. Campbell provides for a base salary of $275,000 per year, subject to change by the compensation committee. Both Mr. McKnight’s and Ms. Campbell’s agreements are similar to Mr. Gill’s employment agreement summarized above, except that upon a termination by the Company without cause, at the election of the employee upon a constructive discharge, upon a change in control or upon the Company giving notice of its intent not to renew the employment agreement, Mr. McKnight and Ms. Campbell are entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to 12 months of their monthly base salary and the benefits and perquisites as in effect at the date of termination of employment will be continued for 12 months.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Company’s compensation committee currently consists of directors McCurdy, Olson and Brame. No interlocking relationship exists between the members of the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company was not involved in any related party transactions in 2014 and does not currently propose to engage in any such transactions.

Does the Company have a policy in place with respect to contracts between the Company and persons affiliated with the Company?

The Company has a policy that any transactions between the Company and its officers, directors and affiliates will be on terms as favorable to the Company as can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions with such persons will be subject to approval by the audit committee of the board.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The audit committee provides assistance to the board in fulfilling its obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, auditing, financial reporting and internal control functions of the Company. Among other things, the audit committee reviews and discusses with management and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (or “independent auditors”) the results of the year-end audit of the Company, including the audit report and audited financial statements. The board of directors, in its business judgment, has determined that all members of the audit committee are independent directors, qualified to serve

30

on the audit committee pursuant to Rules 5605(a)(2) and 5605(c)(2)(A) of the NASDAQ’s listing standards. As set forth in the audit committee charter, management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

In connection with its review of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors, and discussed with the Company’s auditors the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees. In addition, the audit committee received the written disclosures and the letter from BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding BDO’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with BDO their independence from the Company. The audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services rendered by BDO to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of BDO from the Company, but the audit committee will periodically review the non-audit services rendered by BDO.

The members of the audit committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence. Members of the audit committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the audit committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal control and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the audit committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America or that the Company’s auditors are in fact “independent.”

Based on the review and discussions referred to above and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the audit committee referred to above and in the charter, the audit committee recommended to the Company’s board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Committee:	Robert Z. Hensley, Chair

PROPOSAL 2

ADVISORY VOTE ON COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enables the Company’s shareholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company is asking its shareholders to indicate their support for its Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives the Company’s shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, the Company is asking its shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

We believe that our executive compensation is designed to reward our officers for the Company’s performance as a whole and for the officer’s individual effort in achieving the Company’s goals. Our compensation program includes the elements of (a) a base salary that is reflective of job responsibilities, expertise, and comparability to the same positions with U.S. public healthcare companies having similar revenues, (b) an annual bonus to reward individual effort in achieving the Company’s goals, and (c) share-based compensation to align the financial interests of our senior officers with those of our shareholders. Annual incentive (bonus) awards are designed to focus management attention on key operational goals for the current fiscal year and are significantly tied to the Company’s achievement of operational goals. We believe that these goals are aligned with the interests of our shareholders.

The “say-on-pay” vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on the Company, the compensation committee or the board of directors. However, the board of directors and the compensation committee value the opinions of our shareholders and, to the extent there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, will consider the shareholders’ concerns and the board of directors and compensation committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. The Company has elected to hold the “say-on-pay” vote every year.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE COMPANY’S COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SECTION AND THE ACCOMPANYING COMPENSATION TABLES CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 3

RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF BDO USA, LLP AS OUR

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2015

The board of directors has ratified the audit committee’s selection of BDO USA, LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015, subject to ratification by our shareholders. BDO has served as the Company’s independent auditors since 2002.

We are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by our By-laws or otherwise, the board is submitting the selection of BDO USA, LLP to our shareholders for ratification because we believe it is a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection of BDO, the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the audit committee, although the audit committee would not be required to select a different independent registered public accounting firm for the Company. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee may in its discretion select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

In accordance with the charter of our audit committee and consistent with the policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission, all auditing services and all non-audit services to be provided by any independent auditor of the Company shall be pre-approved by the audit committee. All of the services above were pre-approved by our audit committee. In assessing requests for services by the independent auditor, the audit committee considers whether such services are consistent with the auditor’s independence, whether the independent auditor is likely to provide the most effective and efficient service based upon their familiarity with the Company, and whether the service could enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.

The audit committee has considered whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Representatives of BDO USA, LLP, will be present at the Annual Meeting to answer appropriate questions. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF BDO USA, LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM IN 2015.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. The SEC requires public companies to disclose in their proxy statements whether persons required to make such filings missed or made late filings. Based on a review of forms filed by its reporting persons during the last fiscal year, the Company believes that they complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company does note that Covington Health Group, LLC filed one Form 4 nine days late on April  10, 2014.

MISCELLANEOUS
