Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

The results of operations of assets to be disposed of, disposed assets and the losses related to these divestitures have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated income statements as their operations and cash flows have been (or will be) eliminated from our ongoing operations and we will not have any significant continuing involvement in their operations after their disposal.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we developed plans to dispose of nine skilled nursing centers in three different markets within our Inpatient Services segment, whose results have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with GAAP.  As of March 31, 2012, assets held for sale for these nine centers of $4.5 million consisted of (i) a net carrying amount of $3.2 million of property and equipment, (ii) $0.8 million of other non-current assets and (iii) $0.5 million of prepaid expenses and other assets.

A summary of the discontinued operations for the periods presented is as follows (in thousands):
