Reduced debt levels to $36.1 million at May 12, 2010 from $48.6 million at March 31, 2010; increased revolver availability to $21.3 million as of May 12, 2010

Palatine, IL, May 13, 2010 - Addus HomeCare Corporation (Nasdaq: ADUS), a comprehensive provider of home-based social and medical services, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Mark Heaney, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are encouraged by the progress we have made over the past several months in strengthening our business and improving our financial position. This progress includes collecting certain outstanding receivables, increasing Home & Community and Home Health admissions, containing costs, and reducing debt. While we are pleased with our execution to date, we remain focused on additional improvements in these areas.

“Receiving payments from the State of Illinois for our overdue balances has been a major priority for Addus. We are pleased to announce that, since the end of the first quarter, we have received $22.3 million in payments from the State. We believe this progress is a direct result of our collaboration with advocates from across the State to bring attention to this problem. While the payment environment in Illinois remains a challenge due to the State’s budget shortfall, we are encouraged by the State’s action and believe it reflects a commitment to providing care to the at-risk elderly population.

“We have also started to make progress on our initiatives to centralize and enhance our overall accounts receivable process. We believe these efforts are beginning to increase the effectiveness of our collections, demonstrated by a reduction of non-Illinois days of sales outstanding from 60 days at December 31, 2009 to 58 days as of March 31, 2010,” continued Mr. Heaney.

He added, “In our Home Health segment, we have made demonstrable progress, but we have more work to do. Over the past two quarters, we have hired new regional sales managers, increased the size of our sales force, re-aligned our sales efforts and sharpened our focus on our strongest referral relationships. As expected, these investments in sales and marketing negatively impacted segment operating margins in the near term. However, these investments have also begun to generate increased admissions. Our first quarter Medicare admission growth was 19.5% year-over-year and 15.6% sequentially. In our Integrated Services Program, referrals and starts of care were also up sequentially. We are seeing this strong momentum continue early in the second quarter in both organic sales and admissions from our Integrated Services.

“On the Home & Community side, our census trend is up year-over-year, margins remain stable and we expect these positive trends to continue in the second quarter.

“Our priorities remain improving collections, growing census, developing the Integrated Services model and focusing on cost containment. We continue to work towards reducing our administrative operating expenses. While we expect this focus on cost containment to lead to moderate operating margin improvement in the second half of 2010, we intend to continue to invest a portion of these savings in sales and marketing enhancements.

“During the quarter, we also saw the passage of healthcare reform legislation. We believe its passage is a positive development as the legislation is replete with incentives for states and individuals to use Home & Community based services to lower healthcare costs. This further supports our Integrated Services approach,” concluded Mr. Heaney.

Total net service revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $64.6 million, a 4.5% increase compared to $61.8 million in the prior year quarter.

Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, based on 10.5 million diluted shares outstanding, compared to net income after preferred stock dividends of $0.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share based on 1.1 million diluted shares outstanding, in the prior year period. Net income in the first quarter of 2009 prior to preferred stock dividends was $1.4 million.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the first quarter 2010 was $3.7 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior year quarter.

First Quarter Segment Results

Home & Community segment net service revenues for the first quarter 2010 were $52.7 million, a 4.9% increase compared to $50.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was entirely the result of organic growth. Home & Community margins remained solid, with a 30 basis point improvement in gross margin to 25.5% in the first quarter of 2010, compared to the prior year quarter.

Home & Community operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $5.5 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Home Health segment net service revenues for the first quarter 2010 were $11.9 million, a 2.6% increase compared to $11.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was entirely the result of organic growth.

Home Health operating income, including depreciation and amortization but excluding corporate expenses, was $1.0 million, compared to $1.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in Home Health operating income was primarily related to lower gross profit margins from our Medicare services, as well as investments related to the expansion of the sales force and related sales management.

The information provided in this release includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company defines as net income plus depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense and stock-based compensation expense. The Company has provided, in the financial statement tables included in this press release, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, management and others in evaluating the Company’s operating performance to provide investors with insight and consistency in the Company’s financial reporting and present a basis for comparison of the Company’s business operations among periods, and to facilitate comparison with the results of the Company’s peers.
