RESCARE ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT TO CREDIT FACILITY

LOUISVILLE, KY (November 30, 2007) — ResCare, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSCR) today announced that it has amended its senior secured credit facility.  The amended credit facility increases the revolver capacity by $50 million to $250 million.  A $50 million “accordion feature” remains in place, which allows the Company to expand its total borrowing capacity to $300 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.

Ralph G. Gronefeld, Jr., ResCare president and chief executive officer, remarked, “The amended credit facility gives us greater borrowing capacity to support our continued growth strategy.  We view this transaction as a vote of confidence from our bank group, which includes a new additional lender.”
