Item 8.01.  Other Information.

This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed by AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) on November 21, 2007 to clarify that the warrants which were granted to the management team are exercisable for a period of ten years and vest equally over a period of five years; provided, however, that vesting will be accelerated in the event that there is a “change in control” of the Company or in the event that the recipient is terminated without cause.  In addition, the previous 8-K is amended to clarify that the strike price was to be set at the close of the market on November 20, 2007 (two business days after the date of the meeting of the Board) and not on November 16, 2007.  The Board’s recommendation is subject to approval by the shareholders at the Company’s next annual shareholder meeting.
