EXPLANATORY NOTE

On September 8, 2011, Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Prior 8-K”) to furnish certain information as provided therein. This amendment on Form 8-K/A is being filed to supplement the Prior 8-K and clarify one of the assumptions included in the press release furnished in Item 2.02 thereof, as well as to provide certain information pursuant to Item 2.06 of Form 8-K as provided herein. Except as amended hereby, the disclosure included in the Prior 8-K remains unchanged.

Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

In the Company's press release issued on September 8, 2011 (a copy of which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Prior 8-K and incorporated therein by reference) (the “Press Release”), the guidance provided therein assumed “no goodwill or intangible asset impairment charge.” In light of potential impairment indicators, including but not limited to the Medicare reimbursement rate and rehabilitation therapy regulation changes discussed in the Press Release, as well as their resultant impact on our market price, as of the date of the Press Release we had initiated but not completed our procedures relating to an interim goodwill and intangible asset impairment test to determine whether an impairment charge was required. The interim impairment testing procedures are continuing as of the date hereof. Accordingly, the results of the interim impairment test were not reflected in the forecasted net income information included in the Press Release, including the reconciliation table included therein. Additional information regarding our conclusions related to the ongoing interim impairment test is provided in Item 2.06 below.

This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 2.02 is not incorporated by reference into any filings of the Company made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing, unless specifically stated so therein.

Item 2.06
Material Impairments.
      
In connection with the Company's ongoing procedures relating to its interim goodwill and intangible asset impairment test described in Item 2.02 above, on October 11, 2011, the Company's management concluded that the Company will be required to recognize a material non-cash, pre-tax goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge in the currently estimated range of $200 million to $300 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 with respect to the Company's skilled nursing and rehabilitation therapy businesses. We do not expect that any of the impairment charge will result in future cash expenditures. We expect to complete our interim goodwill and intangible asset impairment testing procedures in time to incorporate the related results into our Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
