LOUISVILLE, KY (January 31, 2006) – ResCare, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM:RSCR), the nation’s leading provider of residential, training, educational and support services for people with special needs, announced today that Paul G. Dunn, 40, has been named President of Arbor and Executive Vice President of the Western Division of its workforce services operations. Mr. Dunn will work with Arbor Chief Executive Officer Gabriel Ross, Ph.D., who also serves as Executive Vice President of Arbor’s Eastern Division.

     Mr. Dunn served as Chief Development Officer of ResCare, Inc. since May 1997. He has served in a number of different capacities for the Company from implementing the Development program to running its youth services business to assisting in raising capital. Prior to joining ResCare, Mr. Dunn served as Corporate Director of Financial Operations for Laidlaw Medical Transportation.
     In addition, ResCare has changed the names of its divisions to better reflect the types of services they provide. The Division for Persons with Disabilities is now called the Community Services Group, and the Division for Training Services has been renamed the Employment and Training Services Group. ResCare also announced that it will move its development program under its Community Services Group.
