RESCARE ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT TO CREDIT FACILITY

LOUISVILLE, KY (June 8, 2006) – ResCare, Inc. (NASDAQ/NM: RSCR), the nation’s leading provider of residential, training, educational and support services for people with disabilities and special needs, today announced that it has amended its senior secured credit facility. The amended credit facility provides for lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings and letters of credit and increases the revolver capacity by $25 million to $200 million. A $50 million “accordion feature” remains in place, which allows the Company to expand its total borrowing capacity to $250 million. The amendment also makes some definitional and technical changes. The credit facility expires on October 3, 2010, and is secured by a lien on the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The credit facility will be used primarily for working capital purposes, letters of credit required under its insurance programs and for acquisitions. The repricing was led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, the Administrative Agent under the credit facility.

Ronald G. Geary, ResCare chairman, president and chief executive officer, remarked, “The amended credit facility gives us greater borrowing capacity and a lower cost of capital to support our continued growth strategy. We view this transaction as a vote of confidence from our bank group, which includes all eight banks in our current credit facility.”
