Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of businesses and is not amortized. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based test that compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The carrying value of goodwill as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $40,183,000 and $16,955,000, respectively.

The changes in the carrying values of goodwill by reportable operating segment, as described in Note 10 herein, were as follows:



	Reportable Segments
	Housekeeping		Dietary		Total
December 31, 2012	$	14,894,000	$	2,061,000	$	16,955,000
Goodwill acquired during the year	23,228,000		—		23,228,000
September 30, 2013	$	38,122,000	$	2,061,000	$	40,183,000

The cost of intangible assets is based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life (between 7 and 10 years).

The following table sets forth the amounts of our identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, which were acquired in acquisitions.



	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Customer relationships	$	35,481,000	$	14,481,000
Non-compete agreements	800,000		800,000
Total other intangibles, gross	36,281,000		15,281,000
Less accumulated amortization	12,161,000		10,078,000
Other intangibles, net	$	24,120,000	$	5,203,000

The customer relationships have a weighted-average amortization period of eight years and the non-compete agreements have a weighted-average amortization period of eight years. The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense for intangibles subject to amortization for the following five fiscal years:



Period/Year	Customer Relationships		Non-Compete Agreements		Total
October 1 to December 31, 2013	$	723,000	$	25,000	$	748,000
2014	3,211,000		67,000		3,278,000
2015	3,211,000		—		3,211,000
2016	2,668,000		—		2,668,000
2017	2,397,000		—		2,397,000
2018	2,298,000		—		2,298,000
Thereafter	9,520,000		—		9,520,000

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $999,000 and $542,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2,083,000 and $1,626,000, respectively.
