Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES See Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2017 (the “Annual Report”), for a description of all significant accounting policies. Description of Business AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”), through its subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “we”), is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term care and senior living. The Company’s business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing healthcare facilities to third-party tenants, which operate such facilities. The operators of the Company’s facilities provide a range of healthcare services, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents. The Company was incorporated in Ohio on August 14, 1991, under the name Passport Retirement, Inc. In 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and changed its name to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. AdCare completed its initial public offering in November 2006. Initially based in Ohio, the Company expanded its portfolio through a series of strategic acquisitions to include properties in a number of other states, primarily in the Southeast. In 2012, the Company relocated its executive offices and accounting operations to Georgia, and AdCare changed its state of incorporation from Ohio to Georgia on December 12, 2013. The Company leases its currently-owned healthcare properties, and subleases its currently-leased healthcare properties, on a triple-net basis, meaning that the lessee ( i.e ., the third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. These leases are generally long-term in nature with renewal options and annual rent escalation clauses. The Company has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare properties. AdCare’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) continues to analyze and consider: (i) whether and, if so, when, the Company could satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii) the structural and operational complexities which would need to be addressed before the Company could qualify as a REIT, including the disposition of certain assets or the termination of certain operations which may not be REIT compliant; and (iii) if the Company were to qualify as a REIT, whether electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in light of various factors, including our significant consolidated federal net operating loss carryforwards. There is no assurance that the Company will qualify as a REIT in future taxable years or, if it were to so qualify, that the Board would determine that electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company owns, leases, or manages 29 facilities primarily in the Southeast (see Note 17 - Subsequent Events ). Of the 29 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 14 owned and 11 leased skilled nursing facilities to third-party tenants; (ii) leased one owned assisted living facility to a third-party tenant; and (iii) managed on behalf of third-party owners two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility (see Note 7 - Leases below and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 7 - Leases in the Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. You should read the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements together with the historical consolidated financial audited statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 , included in the Annual Report. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insurance reserves, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and cash flow projections. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Revenue Recognition and Allowances Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities will be recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable will be reversed in the period in which the Company first deems rent collection no longer reasonably assured. Management Fee Revenue and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. Further, the Company recognizes income from lease inducements receivables and interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectibility is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis. Allowances. The Company assesses the collectibility of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectibility of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company allowed for approximately $6.7 million and $7.5 million , respectively, of gross patient care related receivables arising from our legacy operations. Allowance for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. Any changes in patient care receivable allowances are recognized as a component of discontinued operations. All patient care receivables exceeding 365 days are fully allowed at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Accounts receivable, net totaled $2.3 million at March 31, 2017 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2016 of which $0.9 million and $0.9 million , respectively related to patient care receivables from our legacy operations. Self-Insurance The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations during 2014 and 2015 (see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , Note 7 - Leases in the Annual Report for a more detailed description of the Company’s leases). The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (v) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions; and (vi) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the legal costs actually incurred in litigating the pending actions. Since these reserves are based on estimates, the actual expenses we incur may differ from the amount reserved (see Note 8 - Accrued Expenses ). Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2— Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments of the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB accounting pronouncements and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") interpretations that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 , which requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods and services. This new standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affect the recognition of revenue from leases. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and subsequently amended the new revenue standard under ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 in April and May 2016, respectively. ASU 2016-10 provides additional guidance for identifying performance obligations and licenses of intellectual property, and ASU 2016-12 clarifies guidance regarding collectibility, noncash considerations and completed contracts at transition. These new revenue standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted under the original effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 creates a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases . This new Topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, with the intention to simplify aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax impacts, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. The various amendments within the standard require different approaches to adoption, on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted the various amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the three month period ending March 31, 2017 with an effective date of January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 , which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the required periodic test for goodwill impairment and modifies the concept of impairment of goodwill under previous guidance, ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . Under the updated guidance, a goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This simplification eliminates previous requirements to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and record a loss on impairment equal to the carrying value of goodwill less the implied fair value. Further, the ASU modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on a prospective basis for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (“AdCare”), through its subsidiaries (together, the “Company” or “we”), is a self-managed real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for long-term healthcare and senior living. Our business primarily consists of leasing and subleasing such facilities to third-party tenants, which operate the facilities. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company owned, leased, or managed for third parties 29 facilities primarily in the Southeast. The operators of the Company's facilities provide a range of health care services to patients and residents, including skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services, and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term and short-stay patients and residents. The Company was incorporated in Ohio on August 14, 1991, under the name Passport Retirement, Inc. In 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. and changed its name to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. AdCare completed its initial public offering in November 2006. Initially based in Ohio, the Company expanded its portfolio through a series of strategic acquisitions to include properties in a number of other states, primarily in the Southeast. In 2012, the Company relocated its executive offices and accounting operations to Georgia, and AdCare changed its state of incorporation from Ohio to Georgia on December 12, 2013. Historically, the Company's business focused on owning and operating skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The Company also managed facilities on behalf of unaffiliated owners with whom the Company entered into management contracts. In July 2014, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a strategic plan to transition (the “Transition”) the Company to a healthcare property holding and leasing company through a series of leasing and subleasing transactions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company completed the Transition through: (i) leasing to third-party operators all of the healthcare properties which it owns and previously operated; (ii) subleasing to third-party operators all of the healthcare properties which it leases (but does not own) and previously operated; and (iii) continuing the one remaining management agreement to manage two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility for third parties. The Company leases its currently-owned healthcare properties, and subleases its currently-leased healthcare properties, on a triple-net basis, meaning that the lessee ( i.e ., the third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the properties including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. These leases are generally long-term in nature with renewal options and annual escalation clauses. As a result of the Transition, the Company now has many of the characteristics of a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is now focused on the ownership, acquisition and leasing of healthcare related properties. The Board is analyzing and considering: (i) whether and, if so, when, we could satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) the structural and operational complexities which would need to be addressed before we could qualify as a REIT, including the disposition of certain assets or the termination of certain operations which may not be REIT compliant; and (iii) if we were to qualify as a REIT, whether electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in light of various factors, including our significant consolidated federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $65.1 million as of December 31, 2016. There is no assurance that the Company will qualify as a REIT in future taxable years or, if it were to so qualify, that the Board would determine that electing REIT status would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company owns, leases, or manages 29 facilities primarily in the Southeast. Of the 29 facilities, the Company: (i) leased 14 owned and subleased 11 leased skilled nursing facilities to third-party tenants; (ii) leased one owned assisted living facilities to third-party tenants; and (iii) managed on behalf of third-party owners two skilled nursing facilities and one independent living facility (see Note 7 - Leases for a full description of the Company's leases). Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include the self-insurance reserve for professional and general liability, allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual allowances for Medicaid, Medicare, and managed care reimbursements, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, fair value estimation methods used to determine the assigned fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and cash flow projections. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the Company's majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation. For subsidiaries that are not wholly owned by the Company, the portions not controlled by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements. Arrangements with other business enterprises are evaluated, and those in which AdCare is determined to have controlling financial interest are consolidated. Guidance is provided by FASB ASC Topic 810-10, " Consolidation—Overall", which includes consolidation of business enterprises to which the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. This guidance includes controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. In absences of clear control through voting interests, a company's exposure (variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the variable interest entity's assets and activities are the best evidence of control. If an enterprise holds the power to direct and right to receive benefits of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity in its financial statements. The Company has evaluated and concluded that as of December 31, 2016 , they have no relationship with a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which they are the primary beneficiary required to consolidate the entity. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 financial information to conform to the 2016 presentation with no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Reclassifications were made to the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015 to reflect adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying debt amount, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 to reflect the 2016 presentation of items within "Changes in operating assets and liabilities". Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash and Investments The Company considers all unrestricted short-term investments with original maturities less than three months, which are readily convertible into cash, to be cash equivalents. Certain cash, cash equivalents and investment amounts are restricted for specific purposes such as mortgage escrow requirements, reserves for capital expenditures on United States Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") insured facilities and collateral for other debt obligations. Revenue Recognition Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Management Fee Revenue and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. Further, the Company recognizes interest income from lease inducements receivables and loans made to tenants. Allowances. The Company assesses the collectibility of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables. The Company bases its assessment of the collectibility of rent receivables on several factors, including, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of future rent payments required by a lease, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. At December 31, 2016 , the Company allowed for approximately $7.5 million on approximately $8.4 million of gross patient care related receivables primarily from our operations before completion of our Transition. Allowance for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. All patient care receivables exceeding 365 days are fully allowed at December 31, 2016 . The increase in the reserves for patient care is primarily included in discontinued operations. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted investments, accounts receivable and straight-line rent receivables. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments are held with various financial institutions. From time to time, these balances exceed the federally insured limits. These balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions which management believes limits the risk. Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its tenants and significant third-party payors with which they contract, and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection has been determined to be unlikely. Accounts receivable are considered past due and placed on delinquent status based upon contractual terms as well as how frequently payments are received, on an individual account basis. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation commences when the assets are placed in service. Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment also includes bed license intangibles for states other than Ohio (where the building and bed license are deemed complimentary assets) and are amortized over the life of the building. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Leases and Leasehold Improvements The Company leases certain facilities and equipment in the normal course of business. At the inception of each lease, the Company performs an evaluation to determine whether the lease should be classified as an operating lease or capital lease. As of December 31, 2016 , all of the Company's leased facilities are accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases that contain scheduled rent increases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term is also used to provide the basis for establishing depreciable lives for leasehold improvements. Intangible Assets and Goodwill Intangible assets consist of finite lived and indefinite lived intangibles. The Company's finite lived intangibles include lease rights and certain certificate of need ("CON") and bed licenses that are not separable from the associated buildings. Finite lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For the Company's lease related intangibles, the estimated useful life is based on the terms of the underlying facility leases averaging approximately ten years. For the Company's CON/bed licenses that are not separable from the buildings, the estimated useful life is based on the building life when acquired with an average estimated useful life of approximately 32 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the finite lived intangibles whenever an impairment indicator is present. The Company's indefinite lived intangibles consist primarily of values assigned to CON/bed licenses that are separable from the buildings. The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite lived intangibles. On an annual basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill by performing an impairment test. The Company performs its annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the test results indicated no impairment necessary. Deferred Financing Costs The Company records deferred financing costs associated with debt obligations as direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method and are reflected as interest expense. The straight-line method yields results substantially similar to those that would be produced under the effective interest rate method. Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that included the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the future tax benefits from net operating loss and other carry forwards. Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when the recoverability of such assets is not deemed more likely than not. Judgment is required in evaluating uncertain tax positions. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Company classifies unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous state and local jurisdictions. In general, the Company's tax returns filed for the 2013 through 2016 tax years are still subject to potential examination by taxing authorities. In early 2014, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") initiated an examination of the Company's income tax return for the 2011 income tax year. On May 7, 2014, the IRS completed and closed the examination and no changes were required to the Company's 2011 income tax return. In October 2014, the Georgia Department of Revenue ("GDOR") initiated an examination of the Company's Georgia income tax returns and net worth returns for the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 income tax years, which was closed during 2016, with no adjustments required to the filed tax returns. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction. Stock Based Compensation The Company follows the provisions of ASC topic 718 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation ”, which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees, non-employees, and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (options, warrants or restricted shares). All awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over their vesting terms. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2— Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments of the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates. Self-Insurance The Company was self-insured for employee medical claims (in all states except for Oklahoma, where the Company participates in the Oklahoma state subsidy program) and had a large deductible workers' compensation plan (in all states except for Ohio, where workers' compensation is covered under a premium-only policy provided by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation). Additionally, the Company maintains insurance programs, including general and professional liability, property, casualty, directors' and officers' liability, crime, automobile and employment practices liability. In July 2014, the Board approved and commenced the Transition. In 2015, the insurance programs described above changed in order to address the different needs of the Company as a result of the Transition. The Company's workers compensation plan transitioned from a high deductible to a guaranteed cost program in February 2015. As of December 31, 2016 , claims incurred but not reported or unsettled claims for the legacy self-insured employee medical plan and the large deductible workers' compensation plan are recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements. Professional liability insurance was provided to facilities operations up until the date of transfer. Claims which were associated with prior operations of the Company but not reported as of the transition date were self-insured. The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations in connection with the Transition. The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (v) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions; and (vi) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the legal costs actually incurred in litigating the pending actions. Since these reserves are based on estimates the actual expenses we incur may differ from the amount reserved. See Note 8 - Accrued Expenses . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal securities laws, FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature applicable to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB accounting pronouncements and ASU interpretations that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 , which amends the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This ASU should be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company for the 2015 annual and interim reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2015. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, guidance which requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The new standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affect the recognition of revenue from leases. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. As a result, this new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted under the original effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and related disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 , which provides guidance regarding an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The amortization of debt issuance costs will be reported as interest expense. The new standard is to be applied on a retrospective basis and reported as a change in an accounting principle. In August 2015, the FASB released clarifying guidance for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, which permits debt issuance costs to be presented as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. Debt issuance costs associated with a line of credit can be amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has concluded that changes in its accounting required by this new guidance will not materially impact the Company's financial position or results of operations and related disclosures.. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 , which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Under this guidance the acquirer recognizes, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. New disclosures are required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recognized in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recognized in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. At adoption, the new guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating changes in its accounting required by this new standard and the impact to the Company's financial position and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015 - 17, under the simplification and productivity initiative for presentation of deferred income tax liabilities and assets. This guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes such that deferred tax liabilities and assets are to be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The update does not amend the current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period and may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has elected to early adopt, prospectively, the new guidance as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2015, the adoption resulted in a reclassification from current to noncurrent deferred tax assets of $6.2 million before consideration of the related valuation allowance, with the net amount presented as noncurrent deferred tax liability. The Company did not have any reclassifications of the deferred tax liability amounts. Prior periods are not retrospectively adjusted under the prospective adoption. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 creates a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases . This new topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 , which amends the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual an

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except: (i) net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed conversion of convertible debt into shares of common stock; and (ii) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes potentially dilutive securities (such as options, warrants and additional shares of common stock issuable under convertible debt outstanding during the period) when such securities are not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities from options and warrants are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from convertible debt are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , approximately 2.8 million and 4.6 million shares, respectively, of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive for such periods. The following tables provide a reconciliation of net loss for continuing and discontinued operations and the number of shares of common stock used in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended March 31, (Amounts in 000’s, except per share data) 2017 2016 Numerator: Loss from continuing operations $ (539 ) $ (1,422 ) Preferred stock dividends (1,878 ) (1,777 ) Basic and diluted loss from continuing operations (2,417 ) (3,199 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (413 ) (528 ) Net loss attributable to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders $ (2,830 ) $ (3,727 ) Denominator: Basic - weighted average shares 19,825 19,885 Diluted - adjusted weighted average shares (a) 19,825 19,885 Basic and diluted loss per share: Loss from continuing operations attributable to AdCare $ (0.12 ) $ (0.16 ) Loss from discontinued operations (0.02 ) (0.03 ) Loss attributable to AdCare Health Systems, Inc. common stockholders $ (0.14 ) $ (0.19 ) (a) Securities outstanding that were excluded from the computation, prior to the use of the treasury stock method, because they would have been anti-dilutive are as follows: March 31, (Share amounts in 000’s) 2017 2016 Stock options 333 373 Warrants - employee 1,450 1,559 Warrants - non employee 437 492 Shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt 588 2,165 Total anti-dilutive securities 2,808 4,589	EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except net income or loss is adjusted by the impact of the assumed issuance of convertible shares and the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding (which includes potentially dilutive securities, such as options, warrants, non-vested shares, and additional shares issuable under convertible notes outstanding during the period when such potentially dilutive securities are not anti-dilutive). Potentially dilutive securities from options, warrants and unvested restricted shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options and warrants with exercise prices exceeding the average market value are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The incremental shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represent the potentially dilutive effect of the securities. Potentially dilutive securities from convertible promissory notes are calculated based on the assumed issuance at the beginning of the period, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from their assumed issuance. For 2016 and 2015 , potentially dilutive securities of 4.4 million and 4.5 million , respectively, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation because including them would have been anti-dilutive in both periods.

LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY [Abstract]
LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY	LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY Sources of Liquidity The Company continues to undertake measures to grow its operations and to reduce its expenses by: (i) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (ii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iii) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments; and (iv) reducing general and administrative expenses. At March 31, 2017 , the Company had $4.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash and investments of $3.8 million . Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and cash on hand. Management holds routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, has refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, many of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. Historically, the Company has raised capital through other sources, including issuances of preferred stock and convertible debt. Management expects to commence discussions with one of its lenders to extend maturity of a $1.2 million credit facility associated with its Northwest Oklahoma facility listed as current debt maturities at March 31, 2017 . On July 21, 2015, the Company entered into separate At Market Issuance Sales Agreements to sell, from time to time, up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), through an “at-the-market” offering program (“ATM”). Since the inception of the ATM in July 2015 and through March 31, 2017 , the Company has sold 650,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM, generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.5 million (see Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock). Management anticipates renewing its at-the-market offering program with respect to sales of Series A Preferred Stock as a source of liquidity over the next twelve months. On June 18, 2016, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ADK”) entered into a new master sublease agreement (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”), providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of the facilities (the “Peach Facilities”) subleased to affiliates of New Beginnings Care, LLC (“New Beginnings”) prior to their bankruptcy. The Peach Facilities are comprised of: (i) an 85 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”). Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility, and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million , $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively; but such rent is only $1 per month for the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities until the date such facilities are recertified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) or April 1, 2017, whichever first occurs (the “Rent Commencement Date”). The Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities were recertified by CMS in February 2017 and December 2016, respectively. In addition, with respect to the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to three months of $1 per month rent following the Rent Commencement Date and, following such three -month period, five months of rent discounted by 50% . In the event that the Savannah Beach Facility is decertified due to any previous non-compliance attributable to New Beginnings, rent for such facility will revert to $1 a month until it is recertified along with the other facilities. The Company also provided Peach Health with a $1.0 million line of credit to be used for working capital and capital expenditure needs (the “Peach Line” or "Peach Note"). At March 31, 2017 , there was a $1.0 million outstanding balance on the Peach Line. On September 19, 2016, the Company obtained an option to extend the maturity date of the credit facility entered into in September 2013 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Housing & Healthcare Funding, LLC (the "Quail Creek Credit Facility") from September 2017 to September 2018, which option management intends to exercise. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance or further extend the maturity date of this credit facility on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. On January 10, 2017, the Company repurchased $6.7 million of its outstanding 10% convertible subordinated notes due April 30, 2017 (collectively, the “2015 Notes”) pursuant to a cash tender offer for any and all of such outstanding convertible promissory notes (the "Tender Offer"). Cash Requirements At March 31, 2017 , the Company had $71.8 million in indebtedness of which the current portion is $6.9 million . This current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $2.5 million ; and (ii) other debt of approximately $4.4 million which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness (for a complete listing of our debt, see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt ). The Company anticipates net principal disbursements of approximately $6.9 million , which includes $2.5 million of convertible debt, approximately $0.4 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.8 million of routine debt service amortization, and a $2.2 million payment of other debt which includes current senior debt of the Northwest Oklahoma facility, a skilled nursing facility located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (the “Northwest Oklahoma Facility”) of approximately $1.2 million . Based on the described sources of liquidity, the Company expects sufficient funds for its operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months. On a longer term basis, at March 31, 2017 , the Company has approximately $13.2 million of debt maturities due over the next two year period ending March 31, 2019 . These debt maturities include the aforementioned $2.5 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock and which also includes the current senior debt of the Northwest Oklahoma facility of $1.2 million in addition to $4.4 million with respect to the Quail Creek Oklahoma Facility. The Company believes its long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness as well as other sources, including issuances of preferred stock and convertible debt. In November 2016, the Board approved two share repurchase programs (collectively, the "November 2016 Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which AdCare was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the common stock and 100,000 shares of the Company’s 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, no par value per share and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) during a twelve-month period. The November 2016 repurchase program succeeded the Repurchase Program announced on November 12, 2015 (the “November 2015 Repurchase Program”), which terminated in accordance with its terms. Share repurchases under the November 2016 Repurchase Programs could be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades or privately negotiated transactions and were subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 , the Company made no repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock and repurchased 118,199 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of approximately $1.54 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees, for a net disbursement of approximately $0.2 million . The Company suspended the November 2016 Repurchase Program in February 2017. The Company is a defendant in a total of 44 professional and general liability cases. The claims generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, of $6.0 million and $6.9 million at March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions. Anticipated costs associated with such litigation are reflected in the $6.0 million accrual and are expected to be paid over time as litigation continues. The duration of such legal proceedings could be greater than one year subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2017 , however, management cannot reliably estimate the exact timing of payments. The Company expects to fund litigation and potential indemnity costs through cash on hand as well as other sources as described above. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company generated negative cash flow from operations and anticipates positive cash flow from operations later in the current year. In order to satisfy the Company’s capital needs, the Company seeks to: (i) refinance debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; (ii) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities; and (iii) increase operating cash flows through acquisitions. The Company anticipates that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity to maintain its liquidity, thereby permitting the Company to better meet its operating and financing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful. Management’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE MKT.	LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY Sources of Liquidity The Company continues to undertake measures to grow its operations and to streamline its cost infrastructure by: (i) increasing future lease revenue through acquisitions and investments in existing properties; (ii) modifying the terms of existing leases; (iii) refinancing or repaying debt to reduce interest costs and mandatory principal repayments; and (iv) reducing general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $14.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash of $5.5 million . Management anticipates access to several sources of liquidity, including cash flows from operations and cash on hand. Management holds routine ongoing discussions with existing lenders and potential new lenders to refinance current debt on a longer term basis and, in recent years, has refinanced shorter term acquisition debt, including seller notes, with traditional longer term mortgage notes, many of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. Historically, the Company has raised capital through other sources of unsecured debt and junior forms of capital, including issuances of preferred stock and convertible debt. On April 13, 2015 and June 2, 2015, the Company issued 575,000 and 588,235 shares, respectively, of the Company's 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, no par value per share and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a public offering of $25.75 and $25.50 per share respectively, in "best-efforts" underwritten registered public offerings. In connection therewith, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $13.5 million and $14.1 million , respectively, after the payment of underwriting commissions and discounts and other offering expenses payable by the Company. On July 21, 2015, the Company entered into At Market Issuance Sales Agreements with two agents, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to 800,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in an “at-the-market” offering program ("ATM"). As of December 31, 2015, the Company sold 313,695 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM, generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.7 million . During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company sold 336,905 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.8 million and sold no shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM during the fourth quarter of 2016. Since the inception of the ATM in July 2015 and through December 31, 2016 , the Company sold 650,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM, generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $13.5 million (see Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock ). The Company ceased sales under the ATM in September 2016, and will not engage in any additional sales of the Series A Preferred Stock while any preferred share repurchase program is in effect (see Note 19 - Subsequent Events ). The Company routinely has discussions with existing and new potential lenders to refinance current debt on a long-term basis and, in recent periods, has refinanced short-term acquisition-related debt with traditional long-term mortgage notes, some of which have been executed under government guaranteed lending programs. On July 30, 2015, the Company amended the terms of that certain 8% subordinated convertible note, issued by the Company to Cantone Asset Management, LLC ("CAM") and due July 31, 2015, with a principal payment amount as of such date of $4.8 million to: (i) extend the maturity date with respect to $1.5 million of the principal amount of the such note to October 31, 2017; (ii) increase the interest rate from 8.0% to 10.0% per annum; and (iii) increase the conversion price from $3.97 to $4.25 per share (see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt ). On September 19, 2016, the Company obtained an option to extend the maturity date of the credit facility entered into in September 2013 between a certain wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Housing & Healthcare Funding, LLC (the "Quail Creek Credit Facility") from September 2017 to September 2018, which option management intends to exercise. There is no assurance that we will be able to refinance or further extend the maturity date of this credit facility on terms that are favorable to the Company or at all. On September 29, 2016, the Company closed on HUD-guaranteed financing in the amount of $3.7 million , which refinanced approximately $3.1 million in debt previously owed by a certain-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "PrivateBank"), with respect to the Company’s facility located in Georgetown, South Carolina (the “Georgetown Facility”) On October 6, 2016, the Company completed the sale of nine facilities located in Arkansas (the "Arkansas Facilities") for a total sales price of $55.0 million , which sale price consisted of: (i) cash consideration of $52.0 million (of which $35.2 million was accounted for as a net cashless transfer of assets for debt liabilities); and (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $3.0 million (the “Skyline Note”). Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Arkansas Facilities exceeded related obligations by approximately $23.0 million . On October 6, 2016, in conjunction with the sale of the Arkansas Facilities, the Company repaid $2.4 million of debt associated with the Company’s facility located in College Park, Georgia (the “College Park Facility”). On December 14, 2016, the Company closed on HUD-guaranteed financing in the amount of $5.9 million , which refinanced approximately $5.9 million in debt previously owed by a certain-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to the PrivateBank (the “Sumter Credit Facility”) with respect to the Company’s facility located in Sumter, South Carolina (the “Sumter Facility”). On June 18, 2016, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a new master sublease agreement (the “Peach Health Sublease”) with affiliates (collectively, “Peach Health Sublessee”) of Peach Health Group, LLC (“Peach Health”), providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of the facilities (the “Peach Facilities”) subleased to affiliates of New Beginnings Care, LLC (“New Beginnings”) prior to their bankruptcy. The Peach Facilities are comprised of: (i) an 85 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”). Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility, and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million , $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively; but such rent is only $1 per month for the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities until the date such facilities are recertified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) or April 1, 2017, whichever first occurs (the “Rent Commencement Date”). The Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities were recertified by CMS in February 2017 and December 2016, respectively. In addition, with respect to the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to three months of $1 per month rent following the Rent Commencement Date and, following such three-month period, five months of rent discounted by 50% . In the event that the Savannah Beach Facility is decertified due to any previous non-compliance attributable to New Beginnings, rent for such facility will revert to $1 a month until it is recertified along with the other facilities. The Company also provided Peach Health with a $1.0 million line of credit to be used for working capital and capital expenditure needs (the “Peach Line” or "Peach Note"). As of December 31, 2016, Peach Health had borrowed approximately $0.7 million under the Peach Line. On January 10, 2017, the Company repurchased $6.7 million of its 10% convertible subordinated notes due April 30, 2017 pursuant to a cash tender offer for any and all of such outstanding convertible promissory notes (the "Tender Offer"). (See Note 19 -Subsequent Events). Cash Requirements At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $80.0 million in indebtedness of which the current portion is $13.2 million . This current portion is comprised of the following components: (i) convertible debt of $9.2 million ; and (ii) remaining debt of approximately $4.1 million which includes senior debt - bond and mortgage indebtedness (for a complete listing of our debt see Note 9 - Notes Payable and Other Debt). Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased $6.7 million in convertible debt pursuant to the Tender Offer using proceeds from the sale of the Arkansas Facilities. The Company anticipates net principal disbursements of approximately $13.2 million , which includes $9.1 million of convertible debt ( $6.7 million of which was repaid as part of the Tender Offer in January 2017), approximately $0.5 million of payments on shorter term vendor notes, $1.8 million of routine debt service amortization, and a $1.7 million payment of other debt which is inclusive of anticipated proceeds on refinancing of one facility in Oklahoma of approximately $1.2 million . Based on the described sources of liquidity, the Company expects sufficient funds for its operations and scheduled debt service, at least through the next twelve months. On a longer term basis, at December 31, 2016 , the Company has approximately $19.3 million of debt maturities due over the next two year period ending December 31, 2018. These debt maturities include the aforementioned $9.1 million of convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of the common stock as well as $1.2 million for current maturities with respect to one facility located in Oklahoma. The Company believes its long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied by these same sources, as well as borrowings as required to refinance indebtedness. In November 2016, the Board approved two share repurchase programs (collectively, the "November 2016 Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which AdCare was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the common stock and 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock during a twelve-month period. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had repurchased 2,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $48,000 , including commissions and customary business expenses, at an average price of $20.97 (excluding commissions) per share and 133,316 shares of the common stock for $0.3 million at an average price of $1.54 per share. The Company suspended the November 2016 Repurchase Program in February 2017. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 , the Company repurchased 150,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program announced on November 12, 2015 (the “November 2015 Repurchase Program”) at an average purchase price of approximately $2.05 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees, for a net disbursement of approximately $0.2 million . Pursuant to the November 2015 Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock during a twelve -month period. The Repurchase Program expired in accordance with its terms upon completion of such twelve-month period on November 12, 2016. The Company is a defendant in a total of 44 professional and general liability cases. The claims generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, of $6.9 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgement. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly. Anticipated costs associated with such litigation are reflected in the $6.9 million accrual and are expected to be paid over time as litigation continues. The duration of such legal proceedings could be greater than one year subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2016, however management cannot reliably estimate the exact timing of payments. The Company expects to finance litigation and potential indemnity costs through cash on hand as well as other sources as described above. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated negative cash flow from operations and anticipates positive cash flow from operations in 2017. In order to satisfy the Company’s capital needs, the Company seeks to: (i) refinance debt where possible to obtain more favorable terms; (ii) raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities; and (iii) increase operating cash flows through acquisitions. The Company anticipates that these actions, if successful, will provide the opportunity to maintain its liquidity, thereby permitting the Company to better meet its operating and financing obligations for the next twelve months. However, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful. Management’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities and the terms upon which we are able to raise such capital may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain the listing of the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE MKT.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES Operating Leases The Company leases a total of eleven skilled nursing facilities from unaffiliated owners under non-cancelable leases, all of which have rent escalation clauses and provisions for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Each of the skilled nursing facilities that are leased by the Company are subleased to and operated by third-party tenants. The Company also leases certain office space located in Suwanee, Georgia and Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party tenant. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company is in compliance with all operating lease financial and administrative covenants. Future Minimum Lease Payments Future minimum lease payments for each of the next five years ending December 31, are as follows: (Amounts in 2017 (a) $ 6,167 2018 8,331 2019 8,492 2020 8,671 2021 8,830 Thereafter 46,456 Total $ 86,947 (a) Estimated minimum lease payments for the year ending December 31, 2017 include only payments to be recorded after March 31, 2017 . Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators The Company leases or subleases 26 facilities ( 15 owned by the Company and 11 leased to the Company) to third-party tenants on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the third-party tenant of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, ADK entered into the Peach Health Sublease with Peach Health Sublessee, providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of and operate as subtenant: (i) an 85 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Oceanside Facility”); (ii) a 50 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Tybee Island, Georgia (the “Savannah Beach Facility”); and (iii) a 131 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Jeffersonville, Georgia (the “Jeffersonville Facility”), The Jeffersonville and Oceanside facilities were previously decertified by CMS in February and May 2016, respectively, for deficiencies related to its operations and maintenance of the facility while operated by the previous sublessee ( see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report for additional information). The Jeffersonville Facility and the Oceanside Facility were recertified by CMS as of December 20, 2016 and February 7, 2017, respectively, which are the Rent Commencement Dates for such facilities. The Peach Health Sublease became effective for the Jeffersonville Facility on June 18, 2016, and for the Savannah Beach and Oceanside Facilities on July 13, 2016 (the date on which ADK accepted possession of the facilities from the previous sublessee). The Peach Health Sublease is structured as a triple net lease, except that ADK assumes responsibility for the cost of certain deferred maintenance at the Savannah Beach Facility and capital improvements that may be necessary for the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities in connection with recertification by CMS. Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million , $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively; provided, however, that rent is only $1 per month for the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities until the respective Rent Commencement Dates. In addition, for the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to three months of $1 per month rent following the respective Rent Commencement Dates and, following such three -month period, five months of rent discounted by 50% . The annual rent for each of the Peach Facilities will escalate at a rate of 3% each year pursuant to the Peach Health Sublease, and the term of the Peach Health Sublease for all three Peach Facilities expires on August 31, 2027. In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended the Peach Line to the Peach Health Sublessee for up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line” or “Peach Note”), with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a starting interest rate of 13.5% , increasing by 1% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, shall be due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee (see Note 17 - Subsequent Events ). At March 31, 2017 , there was a $1.0 million outstanding balance on the Peach Line. Arkansas Leases and Facilities . Until February 3, 2016, the Company subleased through its subsidiaries (the “Aria Sublessors”) nine facilities located in Arkansas (collectively, the “Arkansas Facilities”) to affiliates (the “Aria Sublessees”) of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aria Subleases”). Effective February 3, 2016, the Company terminated each Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. From February 5, 2016 to October 6, 2016, nine wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Skyline Lessor”) leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline Healthcare LLC (“Skyline”), or an affiliate of Skyline (the “Skyline Lessee”), pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016 (the “Skyline Lease”). The term of the Skyline Lease commenced on April 1, 2016. In connection with the Skyline Lease, the Skyline Lessors entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by Mr. Schwartz (the “Purchaser”), had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities at a purchase price of $55.0 million , consisting of cash consideration in the amount of $52.0 million and a promissory note with a principal amount of $3.0 million . The Company completed the sale of the Arkansas Facilities to the Purchaser on October 6, 2016. For further information see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report for additional information). Future minimum lease receivables from the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third party tenants for each of the next five years ending December 31 are as follows: (Amounts in 2017 (a) $ 15,731 2018 21,825 2019 22,298 2020 22,825 2021 23,402 Thereafter 132,193 Total $ 238,274 (a) Estimated minimum lease receivables for the year ending December 31, 2017 , include only payments to be received after March 31, 2017 . For further details regarding the Company’s leased and subleased facilities to third-party operators, see Note 17 - Subsequent Events below and Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 7 - Leases included in the Annual Report.	LEASES Operating Leases The Company leases a total of eleven skilled nursing facilities from unaffiliated owners under non-cancelable leases, most of which have rent escalation clauses and provisions for payments of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs; each of the skilled nursing facilities that are leased by the Company are subleased to and operated by third-party tenants. The Company also leases certain office space located in Atlanta and Suwanee, Georgia. The Atlanta office space is subleased to a third-party entity. Foster Prime Lease. Eight of the Company's skilled nursing facilities (collectively, the "Georgia Facilities") are leased under a single master indivisible arrangement, by and between ADK Georgia, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company (“ADK”), and William M. Foster ("Lessor"), as landlord (the "Prime Lease"). Under the Prime Lease, a breach at a single facility could subject one or more of the other facilities covered by the same master lease to the same default risk. In addition, other potential defaults related to an individual facility may cause a default of the entire Prime Lease. With an indivisible lease, it is difficult to restructure the composition of the portfolio or economic terms of the lease without the consent of the landlord. On August 14, 2015, ADK and Lessor entered into an amendment to the Prime Lease (the “Second Amendment”) whereby the parties amended the Prime Lease to extend its initial term by seven years, resulting in a new lease termination date of August 31, 2027. In consideration for the extension, among other things, the Company agreed to: (i) pay to Lessor a fee of $575,000 ; (ii) release to Lessor upon the earlier of January 1, 2016 or the termination of the Prime Lease one month of pre-paid rent in the amount of $398,000 ; (iii) release to Lessor upon the earlier of January 1, 2017 or the termination of the Prime Lease the security deposit paid under the Prime Lease in the amount of $500,000 ; and (iv) pay to Lessor within ten days of the end of each quarter a payment of $26,000 . The annual base rent due in the first year immediately following the execution of the Second Amendment is approximately $5.3 million . Under the Second Amendment, the Company (and not Lessor) is responsible for the cost of maintaining the Georgia Facilities, including the cost to repair or replace all structural or capital items due to ordinary wear and tear. Pursuant to the Second Amendment: (i) Lessor consented to ADK’s sublease of the Georgia Facilities to a third-party tenant and ADK agreed to obtain Lessor’s consent prior to any future sublease of any of the Georgia Facilities; and (ii) the Company executed a lease guaranty for the benefit of Lessor whereby the Company guaranteed the performance of all of ADK’s obligations under the Prime Lease. In connection with such guaranty, the Company also consented to being primarily responsible for all of ADK’s obligations under the Prime Lease, thereby allowing Lessor to proceed directly against the Company, without having taken any prior action against ADK, should ADK be in default under the Prime Lease. On September 9, 2015 ADK and Lessor entered into a third amendment to the Prime Lease whereby commencing on July 1, 2016 and continuing during lease years two through five, rent increases at 2.0% annually and then increases at 2.5% annually for the remainder of the lease term. Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease. Two of the Company's facilities are leased under a single indivisible agreement (the "Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease"); therefore, a breach at a single facility could subject the second facility to the same default risk. On September 1, 2015, the Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease was amended (the "Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease Amendment"), whereby the parties agreed to: (i) extend its initial term by three years, resulting in a new lease termination date of August 31, 2025; (ii) provide consent to the sublease of the two facilities to a third-party operator; and (iii) extend the optional renewal terms to two separate twelve -year renewal periods. In consideration for the amended terms, among other things, the Company agreed to a monthly increase in base rent equal to 37.5% of the difference between the base rent owed by the Company under the Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease and the base rent owed to the Company by the new sublease operator. The annual base rent due in the first year immediately following the execution of the Bonterra/Parkview Master Lease Amendment is approximately $1.9 million . Covington Prime Lease. One of the Company's facilities is leased under an agreement dated August 26, 2002, as subsequently amended (the "Covington Prime Lease"), by and between the Company and Covington Realty, LLC. On August 1, 2015, the Covington Prime Lease was amended (the "Covington Prime Lease Amendment"), whereby the parties agreed to: (i) provide consent to the sublease of the facility to a third-party operator; (ii) extend the term of the lease to expire on April 30, 2025; and (iii) set the annual base rent, effective May 1, 2015 and continuing throughout the lease term, equal to 102% of the immediately preceding lease year's base rent. The annual base rent due in the first year immediately following the execution of the Covington Prime Lease Amendment is approximately $0.6 million . Future Minimum Lease Payments Future minimum lease payments for each of the next five years ending December 31 are as follows: (Amounts in 2017 $ 8,126 2018 8,308 2019 8,492 2020 8,671 2021 8,830 Thereafter 46,456 Total $ 88,883 Leased and Subleased Facilities to Third-Party Operators In connection with the Company's transition to a self-managed real estate investment company, 26 facilities ( 15 owned by us and 11 leased to us) are leased or subleased on a triple net basis, meaning that the lessee (i.e., the new third-party operator of the property) is obligated under the lease or sublease, as applicable, for all costs of operating the property, including insurance, taxes and facility maintenance, as well as the lease or sublease payments, as applicable. Termination of Arkansas Leases . Until February 3, 2016, the Company subleased through its subsidiaries (the “Aria Sublessors”) the Arkansas Facilities to affiliates (the “Aria Sublessees”) of Aria Health Group, LLC (“Aria”) pursuant to separate sublease agreements (the “Aria Subleases”). Effective February 3, 2016, the Company terminated each Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. The term of each Aria Sublease was approximately fifteen (15) years, and the annual aggregate base and special rent payable to the Company under the Aria Subleases was approximately $4.2 million in the first year of such subleases and the base rent was subject to specified annual rent escalators. On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Aria (“HAH”), for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “ HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, had an outstanding principal amount of $1.7 million and $1.0 million respectively and matured on December 31, 2015. The Company received $0.7 million in partial repayment of the HAH Note during the second quarter of 2016. The Company is currently seeking the repayment of the remaining balance of the HAH Note and expects repayment. Lease of Arkansas Facilities. From February 5, 2016 to October 6, 2016, nine wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Skyline Lessor”) leased the Arkansas Facilities to Skyline Healthcare LLC (“Skyline”), or an affiliate of Skyline (the “Skyline Lessee”), pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement, dated February 5, 2016 (the “Skyline Lease”). The term of the Skyline Lease commenced on April 1, 2016. The initial lease term of the Skyline Lease was fifteen (15) years with two (2) separate renewal terms of five (5) years each. The Skyline Lease provided for annual rent in the first year of $5.4 million , and an annual rent escalator of 2.5% each year during the initial term and any subsequent renewal terms. Skyline guaranteed the obligations of its affiliates. Sale of Arkansas Facilities. In connection with the Skyline Lease, the Skyline Lessors entered into an Option Agreement, dated February 5, 2016, with Joseph Schwartz, the manager of Skyline, pursuant to which Mr. Schwartz, or an entity designated by Mr. Schwartz (the “Purchaser”), had an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities at a purchase price of $55.0 million , which the Purchaser could exercise in accordance with such agreement until May 1, 2016. On April 22, 2016, the Purchaser delivered notice to the Company of its intent to exercise its option to purchase the Arkansas Facilities. Pursuant to such purchase option, on May 10, 2016, the Skyline Lessors and the Purchaser entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Skyline Lessors agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to buy, the Arkansas Facilities, together with all improvements, fixtures, furniture and equipment pertaining to such facilities (except for certain leased business equipment) and the Skyline Lessors’ intangible assets (including intellectual property) relating to the operation of the nursing home business at such facilities, for an aggregate purchase price of $55.0 million . Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the purchase price consisted of: (i) a deposit of $1.0 million deposited by the Purchaser with an escrow agent at the time of the Purchaser’s exercise of the purchase option; (ii) cash consideration of $51.0 million to be paid at closing; and (iii) the Skyline Note from the Purchaser in favor of the Skyline Lessors with a principal amount of $3.0 million , to be executed and delivered at closing. For further information, see Note 3 - Liquidity and Profitability . On July 14, 2016, August 26, 2016 and September 29, 2016, the Skyline Lessors entered into separate letter agreements with Skyline and the Purchaser, which in the aggregate amended the Purchase Agreement to extend the date by which the purchase and sale of the Arkansas Facilities was required to close from August 1, 2016 to October 6, 2016 and increased the deposit payable by the Purchaser from $1.0 million to $1.8 million . On October 6, 2016, the Company completed the sale of the Arkansas Facilities to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as amended (see Note 11 - Discontinued Operations ). New Beginnings. On January 22, 2016, New Beginnings filed petitions to reorganize its finances under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. New Beginnings operated the Oceanside Facility, the Savannah Beach Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility (collectively, the “New Beginnings Facilities”) pursuant to a master lease dated November 3, 2015, with the Company. The Jeffersonville Facility was decertified by CMS in February 2016 for deficiencies related to its operations and maintenance of the facility and in May 2016, a Notice of Involuntary Termination from CMS was issued to New Beginnings indicating that its operations at the Oceanside Facility were not in substantial compliance with CMS Requirements. From January 1, 2016 until June 4, 2016, New Beginnings paid de minimis rent for the Oceanside and Savannah Beach Facilities and did not pay rent for the Jeffersonville Facility. On March 4, 2016, due to defaults by New Beginnings, the Company petitioned the Bankruptcy Court to lift the automatic stay to enable the Company to regain possession of the New Beginnings Facilities. Prior to the court ruling on the motion, the Company entered into a consent order (the “Consent Order”) with New Beginnings, the debtors’ creditors’ committee, which represents the unsecured creditors in the proceedings, and Gemino Healthcare Finance, LLC (the debtors’ secured lender), in which the Company agreed to give the creditors’ committee until June 4, 2016 to sell all of New Beginnings’ assets, including the leasehold interests and personal property for the New Beginnings Facilities. The Consent Order further provided that if the creditors’ committee was unable to sell the assets by such date, the automatic stay would be lifted and the Company would be allowed to reclaim possession of the New Beginnings Facilities. The court signed the Consent Order on May 9, 2016, and it was entered on the docket on May 10, 2016. The automatic stay was lifted as of June 4, 2016, thereby allowing the Company to take possession of the New Beginnings Facilities from New Beginnings. Peach Health. On June 18, 2016, ADK entered into the Peach Health Sublease with Peach Health Sublessee, providing that Peach Health Sublessee would take possession of the Peach Facilities and operate them as a subtenant. The Peach Health Sublease became effective for the Jeffersonville Facility, on June 18, 2016 and for the Savannah Beach and Oceanside Facilities on July, 13, 2016 (the date on which ADK accepted possession of the facilities from New Beginnings). The Peach Health Sublease is structured as a triple net lease, except that ADK assumes responsibility for the cost of certain deferred maintenance at the Savannah Beach Facility and capital improvements that may be necessary for Peach Health Sublessee to recertify the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities with CMS so they are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. The term of the Peach Health Sublease for all three Peach Facilities expires on August 31, 2027. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company has invested $0.8 million in the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities. Rent for the Savannah Beach Facility, the Oceanside Facility and the Jeffersonville Facility is $0.3 million , $0.4 million and $0.6 million per annum, respectively. In addition, with respect to the Oceanside and Jeffersonville Facilities, Peach Health Sublessee is entitled to $1 per month rent until the first month after recertification by CMS and three months thereafter and, following such three -month period, five months of rent discounted by 50% . In addition, in the event that the Savannah Beach Facility is decertified due to any previous non-compliance attributable to New Beginnings, rent for such facility will revert to $1 a month until it is recertified along with the other facilities. The annual rent for each of the Peach Facilities will escalate at a rate of 3% each year pursuant to the Peach Health Sublease. Under the terms of the Peach Health Sublease, Peach Health Sublessee agreed to use its best efforts to pursue recertification of the Jeffersonville and Oceanside Facilities with CMS as soon as possible. In connection therewith, Peach Health Sublessee created an operating plan for such recertification, including a timetable and estimate of funds required from ADK for capital improvements for each such facility and submitted such plan to ADK for approval within sixty days of the commencement date of the Peach Health Sublease (a “Recertification Plan”). During the third quarter of 2016, the parties reached agreement on the terms of the Recertification Plan for both facilities. On December 20, 2016, the Jeffersonville Facility was recertified by CMS and received a new Medicare/Medicaid provider contract. For further information regarding the recertification of the Oceanside Facility, see Note 19 - Subsequent Events. In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company has extended to Peach Health Sublessee a working capital line of credit of up to $1.0 million for operations at the Peach Facilities (the “Peach Line”), with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at an interest rate of 13.5% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, shall be due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee. At December 31, 2016 , there was a $0.7 million outstanding balance on the Peach Line. On April 7, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Note in connection with the Peach Health Sublesses’ securing a $2.5 million working capital loan from a third party lender (see Note 19 - Subsequent Events).

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK	COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK Common and Preferred Stock Repurchase Activity In November 2016, the Board approved two share repurchase programs (collectively, the "November 2016 Repurchase Program"), pursuant to which AdCare was authorized to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of the common stock and 100,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock during a twelve-month period. The November 2016 Repurchase Program succeeded the repurchase program announced on November 12, 2015 (the “November 2015 Repurchase Program”), which terminated in accordance with its terms. Share repurchases under the November 2016 Repurchase Programs could be made from time to time through open market transactions, block trades or privately negotiated transactions and were subject to market conditions, as well as corporate, regulatory and other considerations. The Company could suspend or continue the November 2016 Repurchase Program at any time and had no obligation to repurchase any amount of the common stock or the Series A Preferred Stock under such program. The November 2016 Repurchase Program was suspended in February 2017. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016 , the Company repurchased 150,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the November 2015 Repurchase Program for $0.3 million at an average purchase price of approximately $2.05 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees. Pursuant to the November 2015 Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock during a twelve -month period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017 , the Company made no repurchases of the Series A Preferred Stock and repurchased 118,199 shares of the common stock for $0.2 million at an average price of $1.54 per share, exclusive of commissions and related fees. Preferred Stock Offerings and Dividends Dividends declared and paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were $0.68 per share, or $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. No additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were issued under the Company’s At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM”) during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 . As of March 31, 2017 , the Company had 2,761,535 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights but have limited voting rights under certain circumstances. The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock before December 1, 2017, except the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following a "Change of Control," as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. On and after December 1, 2017, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. The change-in-control provision requires the Series A Preferred Stock to be classified as temporary equity because, although deemed a remote possibility, a purchaser could acquire a majority of the voting power of the outstanding common stock without Company approval, thereby triggering redemption. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, requires classification outside of permanent equity for redeemable instruments for which the redemption triggers are outside of the issuer's control. The assessment of whether the redemption of an equity security could occur outside of the issuer's control is required to be made without regard to the probability of the event or events that may result in the instrument becoming redeemable. For historical information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock, the ATM and prior share repurchase programs, see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 12 - Common and Preferred Stock included in the Annual Report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Riverchase . On April 9, 2010 , Riverchase, then a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement with a third party to acquire the assets of Riverchase Village, a 105 -bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama, for a purchase price of approximately $5.0 million . On June 22, 2010 , the Company assigned to Christopher F. Brogdon (a then director of the Company, beneficial owner of more than 5% of the common stock and the Company’s former Chief Acquisition Officer) 100% of the membership interests in Riverchase (the “Assignment”). On June 25, 2010 , Riverchase, then owned by Mr. Brogdon, completed the acquisition of the Riverchase Village facility. Riverchase financed the purchase of the Riverchase Village facility by borrowing from the Medical Clinic Board of the City of Hoover, Alabama the proceeds from the issuance of the Riverchase Bonds, with an aggregate principal amount of $6.3 million . As part of the financing, AdCare guaranteed Riverchase’s obligations under the Riverchase Bonds. As consideration for the Assignment and AdCare’s guarantee of Riverchase’s obligations under the Riverchase Bonds, Mr. Brogdon granted to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company an exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire Riverchase (the “Riverchase Option”) originally through June 22, 2012 (which option was subsequently extended through June 22, 2015) for an exercise price of $100,000 . In addition, another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a five -year year management agreement with Riverchase pursuant to which such subsidiary supervised the management of the Riverchase Village facility for a monthly fee equal to 5% of the monthly gross revenues of the Riverchase Village facility.

In connection with such sale, the Riverchase Bonds were repaid in full, and the Company was released from its guaranty of Riverchase’s obligations thereunder. In connection with the sale of the Riverchase Village facility, the Company received $0.2 million , all of which was applied to reduce the obligations under the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company (See “- Letter Agreement with Brogdon”). As of December 31, 2016, principal due and payable under the promissory note issued by Riverchase was $95,000 . See “- Letter Agreement with Brogdon” below for a further description of the agreements with respect to the Riverchase Village facility and related matters. Promissory Note Issued By Brogdon . On December 31, 2013, the Company notified certain entities controlled by Mr. Brogdon of the Company’s intent to terminate the management agreements between subsidiaries of the Company and such Brogdon entities under which the Company subsidiaries managed eight skilled nursing facilities located in Oklahoma owned by the Brogdon entities. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement discussed under “- Letter Agreement with Brogdon”: (i) the parties agreed to terminate the management agreements effective March 1, 2014 and (ii) Mr. Brogdon executed a promissory note in favor of the Company in principal amount of $523,663 which represented amounts owed as of March 1, 2014 (a) by the Brogdon entities pursuant to the management agreements and (b) by GL Nursing, LLC (an entity controlled by Mr. Brogdon) to the Company in connection with the Company’s assignment to GL Nursing, LLC in May 2012 of the Company’s rights to acquire a 141-bed skilled nursing facility located in Lonoke, Arkansas, known as Golden Years Manor. The promissory note was originally payable in five equal monthly installments commencing on September 1, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2014, and did not bear interest. Letter Agreement with Brogdon . On March 3, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a letter agreement, dated as of February 28, 2014 (the “Letter Agreement”), with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by him which reduced the purchase price for the exercise of the Riverchase Option to $1.00 . Furthermore, the Letter Agreement provided that, upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility to an arms-length third party purchaser, regardless of whether the Company has exercised the Riverchase Option, the net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed as follows: (a) one-half of the net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company; (b) the remaining net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company to satisfy the outstanding principal balance and interest (if any) then due under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company with an original principal amount of $523,663 , with such payment to be applied in the order of scheduled amortization under the note; and (c) the balance of net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company. On May 15, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement First Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company paid $92,323 (the “Tax Payment”) to the appropriate governmental authorities of Jefferson County, Alabama, such amount representing outstanding real property taxes due on the Riverchase Village facility. The Company determined that it was in its best interests to make the Tax Payment in order to preserve the Company’s interest in the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. In connection with the Tax Payment, the parties also agreed to amend and restate the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company to reflect a new principal amount of $615,986 , which amount represents the original principal amount of the note plus the Tax Payment. Furthermore, the Letter Agreement First Amendment amended the Letter Agreement to provide that, if the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility did not occur on or before December 31, 2014, then a payment of principal under the amended and restated promissory note equal to the Tax Payment would be due and payable to the Company on or before January 31, 2015. Prior to the sale of the Riverchase Village facility in November 2015, AdCare guaranteed Riverchase’s obligations with respect to the Riverchase Bonds, and in order to preserve the Company’s interest in the sale of the Riverchase Village facility, the Company made a payment in the amount of $85,000 (the “Principal Obligation”) on behalf of Riverchase with respect to its obligations under the bonds. On October 10, 2014, Riverchase issued a promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $177,323 , which represented the amount of Tax Payment plus the Principal Obligation. The note does not bear interest and was due upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. See “- Sale of Riverchase Village Facility”. On October 10, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a second amendment to the Letter Agreement, as amended (the “Letter Agreement Second Amendment”), with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by Mr. Brogdon, pursuant to which the Company reduced the principal amount of the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon by the amount equal to $92,323 (which represents the amount of the Tax Payment) plus $255,000 (which represents an offset of amounts owed by the Company to Mr. Brogdon under his consulting agreement with the Company). See “- Brogdon Consulting Agreement”. The Letter Agreement Second Amendment also amended the Letter Agreement, as amended, to provide that upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility to a third party purchaser, the net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed so that any net sales proceeds shall first be paid to the Company to satisfy the $177,323 outstanding under the note issued by Riverchase to the Company. On March 25, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a third amendment to the Letter Agreement, as amended (the “Letter Agreement Third Amendment”), with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by him, pursuant to which Riverchase and the Company agreed to amend the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company to: (i) increase the principal amount due under the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company by any additional real property tax payments made by the Company with respect to the Riverchase Village facility and (ii) to state that such promissory note would not bear interest. The Letter Agreement Third Amendment amended the Letter Agreement to provide a schedule for the payment to the Company of the net sales proceeds resulting from a sale of the Riverchase Village facility to a third-party purchaser. The Letter Agreement Third Amendment required that the net sales proceeds from such sale be distributed to the Company as follows: (i) an amount sufficient to satisfy all amounts due and owing under the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company; (ii) one-half of the then remaining net sales proceeds; (iii) an amount sufficient to satisfy the amounts due and owing under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company; and (d) the then remaining balance of net sales proceeds. In connection with the Letter Agreement Third Amendment, the Company and Mr. Brogdon agreed to amend the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company. Pursuant to this amendment, the principal balance plus any accrued interest under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company shall be due and payable on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2015; or (ii) the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. See “- Sale of Riverchase Village Facility”. On November 10, 2016, the Company and Mr. Brogdon agreed to further amend the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company to extend its maturity date to December 31, 2017. As a condition to such amendment, Winter Haven Homes, Inc. (“Winter Haven”), an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Brogdon, has agreed to waive payment of certain charges otherwise due and owing from the Company to Winter Haven from January 1, 2016 to July 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, principal due and payable under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company was $268,663 . Brogdon Consulting Agreement . In December 2012, the Company entered into a three-year consulting agreement with Mr. Brogdon for consulting services related to the acquisition and financing of skilled nursing facilities. On May 6, 2014, the Company and Mr. Brogdon amended the consulting agreement to: (i) provide for an aggregate consulting fee equal to $400,000 ; (ii) a success fee of $25,000 (a “Success Fee”), subject to certain limitations; and (iii) eliminate the severance pay originally payable to Mr. Brogdon upon termination of the original consulting agreement without cause. Under the amended consulting agreement, Mr. Brogdon also would have received a change of control fee of $500,000 , if a change of control occurred on or before May 1, 2015; however, no such fee became payable. Pursuant to the amended consulting agreement, the Company made a one-time payment of $100,000 in respect of the $400,000 consulting fee on May 6, 2014, and was obligated to pay the remainder of the consulting fee in monthly payments of $15,000 , which payments commenced on June 1, 2014. The Company did not pay any Success Fee to Mr. Brogdon during the fiscal year 2015. Pursuant to the amended consulting agreement, the balance of the consulting fee owed to Mr. Brogdon by the Company in the amount of $255,000 was offset in October 2014 against the remaining amount owed by Mr. Brogdon to the Company under the promissory note, thereby reducing the principal amount of the promissory note to $268,663 . See “- Promissory Note Issued by Brogdon” above.

Variable Interest Entity, Consolidated, Carrying Amount, Assets and Liabilities, Net [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities Aria. On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement (the “Aria Lease Inducement”) with Aria Health Consulting, LLC with respect to the Aria Subleases. The Aria Lease Inducement provided for a one-time payment from the Company to Aria Health Consulting, LLC equal to $2.0 million minus the security deposits and first month’s base and special rent for all Aria Subleases. On April 30, 2015, in connection with the Aria Lease Inducement, eight of the Aria Subleases were amended to, among other things, provide that the Aria Sublessees shall, collectively, pay to the Aria Sublessors special rent in the amount of $29,500 per month payable in advance on or before the first day of each month (except for the first special rent payment, which was subtracted from the lease inducement fee paid by the Company under the Aria Lease Inducement). On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to Highlands Arkansas Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Aria (“HAH”), for working capital purposes, and, in connection therewith, HAH executed a promissory note (the “ HAH Note”) in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and currently has an outstanding principal amount of $ 1.0 million and matured on December 31, 2016 . On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases. On March 1, 2017, the Company was advised that $0.8 million is available for repayment of the HAH Note in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, the Company has charged a $0.2 million bad debt expense to the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For further information, see Note 7 - Leases . The Aria Lease Inducement and HAH Note entered into by the Company create a variable interest that may absorb some or all of the expected losses of the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the Aria Sublessees as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Effective February 3, 2016, each Aria Sublessor terminated the applicable Aria Sublease due to the applicable Aria Sublessee’s failure to pay rent pursuant to the terms of such sublease. Peach Health. In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended the Peach Line to Peach Health Sublessee in an amount of up to $1.0 million , with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a rate of 13.5% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, shall be due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee. As of March 31, 2017 , $1.0 million was outstanding on the Peach Line. For further information on the Peach Health Sublease and Peach line, see Note 7 - Leases and Note 17 - Subsequent Events . The LOC creates a variable interest that may absorb some or all of a VIE’s expected losses. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the affiliates of Peach Health as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES Consolidated Variable Interest Entity The Company had one variable interest entity that was required to be consolidated because AdCare had control as primary beneficiary. A "primary beneficiary" is the party in a VIE that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For a further description of the VIE, see Note 18 - Related Party Transactions - Riverchase . On March 3, 2014 , the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a letter agreement, dated as of February 28, 2014 (the "Letter Agreement"), with Christopher Brogdon (a then director of the Company and a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the outstanding common stock) and entities controlled by Mr. Brogdon, which: (i) amended the Company's previously-existing option to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Riverchase, the Company's consolidated VIE, until June 22, 2015 ; and (ii) reduced the purchase price for the exercise of such option to $1.00 . Furthermore, the Letter Agreement provides that, upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility, a 105 -bed assisted living facility located in Hoover, Alabama and owned by Riverchase, to an arms-length third party purchaser, regardless of whether the Company has exercised its option to purchase Riverchase, the net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed as follows: (a) one-half of the net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company; (b) the remaining net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company to satisfy the outstanding principal balance and interest (if any) then due under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company with an original principal amount of $523,663 , with such payment to be applied in the order of scheduled amortization under the note; and (c) the balance of net sales proceeds will be paid to the Company. On May 15, 2014 , the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment to the Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement First Amendment"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $92,323 (the "Tax Payment") to the appropriate governmental authorities of Jefferson County, Alabama, such amount representing outstanding real property taxes due on the Riverchase Village facility. The Company determined that it was in its best interest to make the Tax Payment in order to preserve the Company's interest in the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. In connection with the Tax Payment, the parties also agreed to amend and restate the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon in favor of the Company to reflect a new principal amount of $615,986 , which amount represents the original principal amount of the note plus the Tax Payment. Furthermore, the Letter Agreement First Amendment amended the Letter Agreement to provide that, if the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility does not occur on or before December 31, 2014 , then a payment of principal under the amended and restated promissory note equal to the Tax Payment will be due and payable to the Company on or before January 31, 2015 . On October 10, 2014 , AdCare and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a second amendment to the Letter Agreement, as amended (the “Letter Agreement Second Amendment”), with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by Mr. Brogdon, pursuant to which the Company reduced the principal amount of the note issued by Mr. Brogdon by the amount equal to $92,323 (which represents the amount of the Tax Payment) plus $255,000 (which represents an offset of amounts owed by the Company to Mr. Brogdon under his Consulting Agreement with the Company). The Letter Agreement Second Amendment also amended the Letter Agreement, as amended, to provide that upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility to a third party purchaser, the net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed so that any net sales proceeds shall first be paid to the Company to satisfy the $177,323 outstanding under the note issued by Riverchase to the Company, which note is discussed below. AdCare was a guarantor of Riverchase’s obligations with respect to the Riverchase Bonds, and in order to preserve the Company's interest in the sale of the Riverchase Village facility, the Company made a payment in the amount of $85,000 (the "Principal Obligation") on behalf of Riverchase with respect to its obligations under the bonds. On October 10, 2014 , Riverchase issued a promissory note in favor of the Company in the principal amount of $177,323 , which represented the amount of Tax Payment plus the Principal Obligation. The note did not bear interest and was due upon the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. On March 25, 2015 , AdCare and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a third amendment to the Letter Agreement, as amended (the “Letter Agreement Third Amendment”), with Mr. Brogdon and entities controlled by him, pursuant to which Riverchase and the Company agreed to amend the promissory notes issued by Riverchase to the Company to: (i) increase the principal amount due under the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company by any additional real property tax payments made by the Company with respect to the Riverchase Village facility and (ii) to state that such promissory note would not bear interest. The Letter Agreement Third Amendment amended the Letter Agreement to provide a schedule for the payment to the Company of the net sales proceeds resulting from a sale of the Riverchase Village facility to a third-party purchaser. The net sales proceeds from such sale shall be distributed to the Company as follows: (i) an amount sufficient to satisfy all amounts due and owing under the promissory note issued by Riverchase to the Company; (ii) one-half of the then remaining net sales proceeds; (iii) an amount sufficient to satisfy the amounts due and owing under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company; and (iv) the then remaining balance of net sales proceeds. In connection with the Letter Agreement Third Amendment, the Company and Mr. Brogdon agreed to amend the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company. Pursuant to this amendment, the principal balance plus any accrued interest under the promissory note issued by Mr. Brogdon to the Company would be due and payable on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2015; or (ii) the closing of the sale of the Riverchase Village facility. On June 11, 2015, Omega executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Omega Purchase Agreement”) for $6.75 million and had a closing deadline of August 31, 2015. The Omega Purchase Agreement was later amended on August 6, 2015 to, among other things, extend the closing deadline from August 31, 2015 to September 30, 2015 as well as increase the purchase price from $6.75 million to $6.85 million . The Omega Purchase Agreement was later amended for a second time on September 30, 2015 to, among other things, extend the closing deadline from September 30, 2015 to November 30, 2015. Riverchase completed the sale of the Riverchase Village facility effective November 20, 2015. As of November 20, 2015, proceeds to repay the full balance of the facility’s senior debt were deposited with the lender/bond trustee. On November 23, 2015, the Company announced that Christopher Brogdon had informed the Board of his decision to accelerate his resignation from the Board to be effective as of November 20, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, principal due and payable under the promissory note issued by Riverchase was $95,000 . This note was fully allowed at December 31, 2015. The facility assets were sold while the VIE was still consolidated and, as such, the sale of the Riverchase Village facility is reflected in the Company's financial statements. The accounting for the operations and the sale are reflected in discontinued operations. As a result of the Riverchase Village sale and resulting payoff of the Riverchase Bonds, the Company was no longer the guarantor of the underlying debt. In consideration of this and the fact that the Company no longer holds a purchase option for the Riverchase Village facility, the Company determined it was no longer the primary beneficiary and determined it should deconsolidate the Riverchase VIE. As part of the deconsolidation of the Riverchase VIE, an eliminated intercompany balance of approximately $1.6 million consisting of operating losses sustained from 2010-2013, which were funded by AdCare and recognized in AdCare’s consolidated statements of operations from 2010-2013 attributable to the non-controlling interest in 2010-2013, were re-attributed to the Company’s shareholders. Non-consolidated Variable Interest Entities Aria. On April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a lease inducement (the "Aria Lease Inducement") with Aria Health Consulting, LLC with respect to the Aria Subleases. The Aria Lease Inducement provided for a one-time payment from the Company to Aria Health Consulting, LLC equal to $2.0 million minus the security deposits and first month's base and special rent for all Aria Sublessees. On April 30, 2015, in connection with the Aria Lease Inducement, eight sublease agreements with Aria Sublessees were amended to, among other things, provide that the Aria Sublessees shall, collectively, pay to the Aria Sublessors special rent in the amount of $29,500 per month payable in advance on or before the first day of each month (except for the first special rent payment, which shall be subtracted from the lease inducement fee paid by the Company under the Aria Lease Inducement). On July 17, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan, with an annual interest rate of 13.5% , to HAH and, in connection therewith, HAH executed the HAH Note, as subsequently amended, in favor of the Company. Since July 17, 2015, the HAH Note has been amended from time to time and currently has an outstanding principal amount of $1.0 million and matured on December 31, 2015 . On October 6, 2015, HAH and the Company entered into a security agreement, whereby HAH granted the Company a security interest in all accounts arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees, and all rights to payment from patients, residents, private insurers and others arising from the business of HAH and the Aria Sublessees (including any proceeds thereof), as security for payment of the HAH Note, as amended, and certain rent and security deposit obligations of the Aria Sublessees under Aria Subleases. The Company is currently seeking the repayment of the HAH Note in accordance with its terms and expects full repayment. For further information, see Note 7 - Leases . The Aria Lease Inducement and HAH Note entered into by the Company create a variable interest that may absorb some or all of a VIE’s expected losses. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the Aria Sublessees as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (see Note 7 - Leases ). Beacon. On August 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Lease Inducement Fee Agreement with certain affiliates of Beacon Health Management, LLC ("Beacon"), pursuant to which the Company paid a fee of $0.6 million as a lease inducement for certain affiliates of Beacon (the "Beacon Sublessees") to enter into sublease agreements and to commence such subleases and transfer operations thereunder (see Note 7 - Leases ). The inducement fee was paid net of certain other fees and costs owed by the affiliates of, including the first month of base rent for all of the Beacon facilities and the first month of special rent pertaining to the four of such facilities. On August 1, 2015, the Company made a short-term loan to certain affiliates of Beacon (collectively, the "Beacon Affiliates") and, in connection therewith, Beacon Affiliates executed a promissory note maturing on May 31, 2016 in the amount $0.6 million (the "Beacon Note"), as amended, in favor of the Company. Interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance of the note at a rate of 18% per annum. Until all amounts due and owing under the note have been paid, the Beacon Sublessees will not pledge, as security, any of the accounts receivable relating to the respective facilities that such entities sublease from affiliates of the Company. As of June 30, 2016, $0.6 million outstanding principal on the Beacon Note was paid in full. The Beacon Lease Inducement and Beacon Note entered into by the Company create a variable interest that may absorb some or all of a VIE’s expected losses. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the Beacon Sublessees as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance (see Note 7 - Leases ). Peach Health. In connection with the Peach Health Sublease, the Company extended the Peach Line to Peach Health Sublessee in an amount of up to $1.0 million , with interest accruing on the unpaid balance under the Peach Line at a rate of 13.5% per annum. The entire principal amount due under the Peach Line, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, shall be due one year from the date of the first disbursement. The Peach Line is secured by a first priority security interest in Peach Health Sublessee’s assets and accounts receivable pursuant to a security agreement executed by Peach Health Sublessee. As of December 31, 2016 , $0.7 million was outstanding on the Peach Line. For further information on the Peach Health Sublease, see Note 7 - Leases and Note 19 - Subsequent Events . The Peach Line creates a variable interest that may absorb some or all of a VIE’s expected losses. The Company does not consolidate the operating activities of the affiliates of Peach Health as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Regulatory Matters Laws and regulations governing federal Medicare and state Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. As of March 31, 2017 , all of the Company’s facilities leased and subleased to third-party operators and managed for third-parties are certified by CMS and operational (see Note 7 - Leases ). Legal Matters The Company is party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings and is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that the services the Company provided during the time it operated skilled nursing facilities resulted in injury or death to the patients of the Company’s facilities and claims related to professional and general negligence, employment, staffing requirements and commercial matters. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these matters, there is no assurance that the outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company previously operated, and the Company’s tenants now operate, in an industry that is extremely regulated. As such, in the ordinary course of business, the Company’s tenants are continuously subject to state and federal regulatory scrutiny, supervision and control. Such regulatory scrutiny often includes inquiries, investigations, examinations, audits, site visits and surveys, some of which are non-routine. In addition, we believe that there has been, and will continue to be, an increase in governmental investigations of long-term care providers, particularly in the area of Medicare/Medicaid false claims, as well as an increase in enforcement actions resulting from these investigations. Adverse determinations in legal proceedings or governmental investigations against or involving the Company, for the Company’s prior operations, or the Company’s tenants, whether currently asserted or arising in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Professional and General Liability Claims . As of March 31, 2017 , the Company was a defendant in a total of 44 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients, of which 28 cases were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the lawsuit captioned Amy Cleveland et. al. v. APHR&R Nursing, LLC et. al. filed on March 4, 2015 with the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, 16th Division, 6th Circuit. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. Three of the pending actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. The actions are in various stages of discovery, and the Company intends to vigorously litigate the claims. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets of $6.0 million and $6.9 million at March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The decrease in the reserve at March 31, 2017 , reflects the legal and associated settlement amounts relieved from the accrual to be paid. For additional information regarding the Company’s self-insurance reserve, please see Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies included in the Annual Report. Ohio Attorney General Action. On October 27, 2016, the Attorney General of Ohio (the “OAG”) filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio a complaint against The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company), and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations. The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 demanding repayment of allegedly improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and penalties of approximately $1.0 million , and the Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying all claims. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim.

Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future governmental review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from certain governmental programs. In February and May 2016, CMS decertified the Jeffersonville and Oceanside Facilities respectively, meaning the facilities can no longer accept Medicare or Medicaid patients. On December 20, 2016, the Jeffersonville Facility was recertified by CMS and received a new Medicare/Medicaid provider contract. For further information (see Note 7 - Leases and Note 19 - Subsequent Events). The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations.

Clanton Matter. On June 24, 2013, South Star Services, Inc., Troy Clanton and Rose Rabon (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Oklahoma County, State of Oklahoma against: (i) AdCare, certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries and AdCare’s former Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Christopher Brogdon (a director of the Company, owner of greater than 5% of the outstanding shares of the common stock and former Chief Acquisition Officer of the Company) and his wife; and (iii) five entities controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Brogdon, which entities own five skilled-nursing facilities located in Oklahoma that were previously managed by an AdCare subsidiary. On February 10, 2015, Plaintiffs and the defendants participated in a voluntary mediation in an attempt to resolve the case. Although the case did not settle at the mediation, Plaintiffs and defendants continued to negotiate over the following weeks and executed a settlement agreement on March 30, 2015 (the "Clanton Settlement Agreement") to settle all claims for a lump sum payment of $2.0 million . In April 2015, under the Clanton Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $0.6 million to the Plaintiffs with the balance paid by two of the Company's insurance carriers. The Company and the other defendants in the matter deny all of the Plaintiff's claims and any wrongdoing but agreed to settle the matter to avoid the continued expense and unpredictability of litigation. Ohio Attorney General Action. On October 27, 2016, the Ohio Attorney General (the “OAG”) filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, Ohio a complaint against The Pavilion Care Center, LLC, Hearth & Home of Greenfield, LLC (each a subsidiary of the Company), and certain other parties (including parties for which the Company provides or provided management services). The lawsuit alleges that defendants submitted improper Medicaid claims for independent laboratory services for glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws and further alleges that defendants (i) engaged in deception, (ii) willfully received Medicaid payments to which they were not entitled or in a greater amount than that to which they were entitled, and (iii) obtained payments under the Medicaid program to which they were not entitled pursuant to their provider agreements and applicable Medicaid rules and regulations. The OAG is seeking, among other things, triple the amount of damages proven at trial (plus interest) and not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 for each deceptive claim or falsification. As previously disclosed, the Company received a letter from the OAG in February 2014 offering to settle its claims against the defendants for improper Medicaid claims related to glucose blood tests and capillary blood draws for a payment of approximately $1.0 million . The Company responded to such letter in July 2014 denying the allegations and heard nothing more from the OAG until the above referenced lawsuit was filed. The Company filed an answer to the complaint on January 27, 2017 in which it denied the allegations. Although there is no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact on the Company’s business or its financial condition, the Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend the claim. Professional and General Liability Claims . The Company was a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit captioned Amy Cleveland et. al. v. APHR&R Nursing, LLC et. al. filed on March 4, 2015 with the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, 16th Division, 6th Circuit (the “Amy Cleveland Class Action”). On December 16, 2015, the Company's insurance carrier reached a settlement with each of the individual plaintiffs on behalf of the Company and all other defendants pursuant to which separate payments are to be made by the Company's carrier to the plaintiffs. The individual settlements are contingent on approval by the probate courts having jurisdiction over the deceased plaintiffs' respective estates, if applicable. As of June 30, 2016, all of the individual settlement agreements had been approved and the settlement consideration paid to the plaintiffs. As of April 17, 2017 , the Company was a defendant in a total of 44 professional and general liability actions commenced on behalf of former patients, of which 28 cases were filed in the State of Arkansas by the same plaintiff attorney who represented the plaintiffs in the Amy Cleveland Class Action. These actions generally seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for former patients of the Company who were allegedly injured or died while patients of facilities operated by the Company due to professional negligence or understaffing. Three of the pending actions are covered by insurance, except that any award of punitive damages would be excluded from such coverage. The actions are in various stages of discovery, and the Company intends to vigorously litigate the claims. The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability actions since it discontinued its healthcare operations in connection with its transition to a healthcare holding and leasing company. The Company established a self-insurance reserve for these professional and general liability claims, included within “Accrued expenses and other” in the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets of $6.9 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (v) the status and likely success of any settlement discussions; and (vi) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. In evaluating the adequacy of the self-insurance reserve in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company also considered: (i) the increase in the number of pending actions since December 31, 2015 ; (ii) the outcome of initial mediation sessions and the status of settlement negotiations; and (iii) defense counsel’s evaluation of estimated legal costs and other expenses if the pending actions were to be litigated to final judgment. Based on the foregoing, the Company has increased the self-insurance reserve at December 31, 2016 to $6.9 million . The Company currently believes that most of its cases, and particularly many of the most recently filed cases, are defensible and intends to defend these claims through final judgment. The self-insurance reserve includes the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly.

INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes attributable to continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are presented below: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in 000's) 2016 2015 Current Tax Expense: Federal $ — $ 8 $ — $ 8 Deferred Tax Expense: Federal $ (163 ) $ 102 $ (163 ) $ 102 Total income tax expense $ (163 ) $ 110 The income tax expense applicable to continuing and discontinued operations is presented below: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in 000's) 2016 2015 Income tax expense on continuing operations $ (163 ) $ 110 Income tax (benefit) expense on discontinued operations — 251 Total income tax (benefit) expense $ (163 ) $ 361 At December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the tax effect of significant temporary differences representing deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in 000's) 2016 2015 Net deferred tax asset (liability): Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 4,475 $ 5,839 Accrued expenses 3,374 1,047 Net operating loss carry forwards 21,624 21,521 Property, equipment & intangibles (4,004 ) (4,526 ) Stock based compensation 268 125 Convertible debt adjustments 261 206 Total deferred tax assets 25,998 24,212 Valuation allowance (26,224 ) (24,601 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (226 ) $ (389 ) In accordance with ASU No. 2015-17, the Company has prospectively adopted the early application of ASU No. 2015-17, thereby classifying all deferred taxes as noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2015. The reason for the change is to simplify the reporting of all deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The items accounting for the differences between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Federal income tax at statutory rate 34.0 % 34.0 % State and local taxes (0.4 )% 2.4 % Consolidated VIE LLC — % 1.0 % Nondeductible expenses (20.6 )% (7.3 )% Other (0.1 )% (2.6 )% Change in valuation allowance (11.7 )% (28.8 )% Effective tax rate 1.2 % (1.3 )% As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had consolidated federal net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards of $65.1 million . These NOLs begin to expire in 2018 through 2036 and currently are offset by a full valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had consolidated state NOL carry forwards of $44.5 million . These NOLs begin to expire in 2017 through 2036 and currently are offset by a full valuation allowance. Given the Company's historical net operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been established on the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company has generated additional deferred tax liabilities related to its tax amortization of certain acquired indefinite lived intangible assets because these assets are not amortized for book purposes. The tax amortization in current and future years gives rise to a deferred tax liability which will only reverse at the time of ultimate sale or book impairment. Due to the uncertain timing of this reversal, the temporary differences associated with indefinite lived intangibles cannot be considered a source of future taxable income for purposes of determining a valuation allowance. As such, the deferred tax liability cannot be used to support an equal amount of the deferred tax asset related to the NOL carry forward. This resulted in recognizing deferred federal and state tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and a deferred tax liability of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In early 2014, the IRS initiated an examination of the Company's income tax return for the 2011 income tax year. On May 7, 2014, the IRS completed and closed the examination and no changes were required to the Company's 2011 income tax return. In October 2014 , the GDOR initiated an examination of the Company's Georgia income tax returns and net worth returns for the 2010 , 2011 , 2012 , and 2013 income tax years, which was closed during 2016, with no adjustments required to the filed tax returns. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction.

In addition, on March 21, 2017, AdCare executed a long-term lease with an affiliate of C.R. Management (the “Meadowood Operator”) to lease the facility upon purchase. Lease terms include: (i) a 13 -year initial term with one five -year renewal option; (ii) base rent of $37,500 per month; (iii) a rental escalator of 2.0% per annum in the initial term and 2.5% per annum in the renewal term; (iv) a cross renewal provision, whereby the Meadowood Operator may exercise the lease renewal for the Meadowood Facility if its affiliate exercises the lease renewal option for Coosa Valley Health Care, a 124 -bed skilled nursing facility located in Gadsden, Alabama (the Coosa Valley Facility”) ; and (v) a security deposit equal to one month of base rent. The Company completed the purchase of the Meadowood Facility on May 1, 2017 pursuant to the Meadowood Purchase Agreement, at which time the lease commenced and operations of the Meadowood Facility transferred to the Meadowood Operator.

The modifications of the Peach Note include: (i) reducing the loan balance to $0.8 million and restricting further borrowings; (ii) extending the maturity of the loan to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by the Peach Health Sublessee assuming certain conditions precedent are met at the time of the exercise of the option; (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per year; and (iv) establishing a four year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Note shall be governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed Peach Health Sublessee’s borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions (i.e., the Company’s obligations under such guaranty cease after the later of 18 months or achievement of a certain financial ratio by Peach Health Sublessee). Repayment of 2015 Notes On April 30, 2017, the Company repaid in cash the outstanding $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of such notes, and all related obligations owed under the 2015 Notes were extinguished at that time. Amendments to Bylaws	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued and filed with the SEC. The following is a summary of the material subsequent events. Tender Offer for 10% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due April 30, 2017 On December 8, 2016, the Company commenced the Tender Offer for any and all of its outstanding 2015 Notes. The purchase price offered was cash in an amount equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date. The Tender Offer expired on January 9, 2017, and $6.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. AdCare accepted and paid all of the 2015 Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer. Payment for the 2015 Notes tendered and accepted for payment was made by check on January 10, 2017. After giving effect to such payment, $1.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Notes remain outstanding. Recertification of Oceanside Facility On February 7, 2017, the Oceanside Facility was recertified by CMS. Extension of College Park Lease On February 16, 2017, C.R. of College Park LLC, which subleases the College Park Facility from a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to a Sublease Agreement dated February 18, 2015, delivered irrevocable notice to the Company, extending the term of its lease of the College Park Facility for 5 years pursuant to the terms of such sublease. Pending Acquisition and Lease of Meadowood Retirement Village On March 8, 2017, AdCare executed a purchase and sale agreement with Meadowood Retirement Village, LLC and Meadowood Properties, LLC to acquire an assisted living facility with 106 operational beds in Glencoe, Alabama for $5.5 million cash. In addition, on March 21, 2017, AdCare executed a long-term lease with an affiliate of C.Ross Management to lease the facility upon purchase. Lease terms include: (i) a 13 -year initial term with one five -year renewal option, (ii) base rent of $37,500 per month, (iii) a rental escalator of 2% per annum in the initial term and 2.5% per annum in the renewal term, (iii) a cross renewal provision with the Coosa Valley facility and (iv) a one month security deposit. Coosa/Attalla Loan Reduction On March 20, 2017, mortgage indebtedness related to the Coosa Valley and Attalla facilities was reduced by $720,000 and $798,200 , respectively through the application of restricted cash held as collateral against such indebtedness. Peach Note Modification On April 6, 2017, the Company modified certain terms of the Peach Note in connection with the Peach Health Sublesse's securing a $2.5 million working capital loan from a third party lender (the “Peach Working Capital Facility”). Borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility are based on a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable. The modifications of the Peach Note include: (i) reducing the loan balance to $840,217 and restricting further borrowings, (ii) extending the maturity of the loan to October 1, 2020 and adding a six month extension option by the Peach Health Sublesse assuming certain conditions precedent are met at the time of the exercise of the option, (iii) increasing the interest rate from 13.5% per annum by 1% per year, and (iv) establishing a four year amortization schedule. Payment of principal and interest under the Peach Note shall be governed by certain financial covenants limiting distributions under the Peach Working Capital Facility. Furthermore, the Company guaranteed borrowings under the Peach Working Capital Facility subject to certain burn-off provisions.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN27

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended	12 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2017	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Article 8 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.	The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insurance reserves, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and cash flow projections. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Examples of significant estimates include the self-insurance reserve for professional and general liability, allowance for doubtful accounts, contractual allowances for Medicaid, Medicare, and managed care reimbursements, deferred tax valuation allowance, fair value of employee and nonemployee stock based awards, fair value estimation methods used to determine the assigned fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, valuation of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and cash flow projections. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation		The consolidated financial statements include the Company's majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated through consolidation. For subsidiaries that are not wholly owned by the Company, the portions not controlled by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements. Arrangements with other business enterprises are evaluated, and those in which AdCare is determined to have controlling financial interest are consolidated. Guidance is provided by FASB ASC Topic 810-10, " Consolidation—Overall", which includes consolidation of business enterprises to which the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. This guidance includes controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. In absences of clear control through voting interests, a company's exposure (variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the variable interest entity's assets and activities are the best evidence of control. If an enterprise holds the power to direct and right to receive benefits of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity in its financial statements. The Company has evaluated and concluded that as of December 31, 2016 , they have no relationship with a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which they are the primary beneficiary required to consolidate the entity.
Cash and Cash Equivalents		The Company considers all unrestricted short-term investments with original maturities less than three months, which are readily convertible into cash, to be cash equivalents. Certain cash, cash equivalents and investment amounts are restricted for specific purposes such as mortgage escrow requirements, reserves for capital expenditures on United States Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") insured facilities and collateral for other debt obligations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition and Allowances Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. In the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate the future collection of rent from one or more tenant(s) of the Company’s facilities, rental income for the affected facilities will be recognized only upon cash collection, and any accumulated straight-line rent receivable will be reversed in the period in which the Company first deems rent collection no longer reasonably assured. Management Fee Revenue and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. Further, the Company recognizes income from lease inducements receivables and interest income from loans and investments, using the effective interest method when collectibility is reasonably assured. We apply the effective interest method on a loan-by-loan basis. Allowances. The Company assesses the collectibility of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants. The Company bases its assessment of the collectibility of rent receivables and working capital loans to tenants on several factors, including, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments or payments on a working capital loan, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset or working capital loan for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of future rent payments required by a lease or required from a working capital loan to a tenant, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue or interest revenue from working capital loans to tenants recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company allowed for approximately $6.7 million and $7.5 million , respectively, of gross patient care related receivables arising from our legacy operations. Allowance for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. Any changes in patient care receivable allowances are recognized as a component of discontinued operations. All patient care receivables exceeding 365 days are fully allowed at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .	Triple-Net Leased Properties. The Company's triple-net leases provide for periodic and determinable increases in rent. The Company recognizes rental revenues under these leases on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectibility is reasonably assured. Recognizing rental income on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a straight-line rent receivable that is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Management Fee Revenue and Other. The Company recognizes management fee revenues as services are provided. Further, the Company recognizes interest income from lease inducements receivables and loans made to tenants. Allowances. The Company assesses the collectibility of our rent receivables, including straight-line rent receivables. The Company bases its assessment of the collectibility of rent receivables on several factors, including, payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, the value of the underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. If the Company's evaluation of these factors indicates it is probable that the Company will be unable to receive the rent payments, the Company provides a reserve against the recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for the portion that we estimate may not be recovered. If the Company changes its assumptions or estimates regarding the collectibility of future rent payments required by a lease, the Company may adjust its reserve to increase or reduce the rental revenue recognized in the period the Company makes such change in its assumptions or estimates. At December 31, 2016 , the Company allowed for approximately $7.5 million on approximately $8.4 million of gross patient care related receivables primarily from our operations before completion of our Transition. Allowance for patient care receivables are estimated based on an aged bucket method as well as additional analyses of remaining balances incorporating different payor types. All patient care receivables exceeding 365 days are fully allowed at December 31, 2016 . The increase in the reserves for patient care is primarily included in discontinued operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Market Concentration Risk		Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted investments, accounts receivable and straight-line rent receivables. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted investments are held with various financial institutions. From time to time, these balances exceed the federally insured limits. These balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions which management believes limits the risk. Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its tenants and significant third-party payors with which they contract, and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses. Delinquent accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection has been determined to be unlikely. Accounts receivable are considered past due and placed on delinquent status based upon contractual terms as well as how frequently payments are received, on an individual account basis.
Property and Equipment		Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation commences when the assets are placed in service. Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment also includes bed license intangibles for states other than Ohio (where the building and bed license are deemed complimentary assets) and are amortized over the life of the building. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable.
Leases and Leasehold Improvements		The Company leases certain facilities and equipment in the normal course of business. At the inception of each lease, the Company performs an evaluation to determine whether the lease should be classified as an operating lease or capital lease. As of December 31, 2016 , all of the Company's leased facilities are accounted for as operating leases. For operating leases that contain scheduled rent increases, the Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term is also used to provide the basis for establishing depreciable lives for leasehold improvements.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill		Intangible assets consist of finite lived and indefinite lived intangibles. The Company's finite lived intangibles include lease rights and certain certificate of need ("CON") and bed licenses that are not separable from the associated buildings. Finite lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For the Company's lease related intangibles, the estimated useful life is based on the terms of the underlying facility leases averaging approximately ten years. For the Company's CON/bed licenses that are not separable from the buildings, the estimated useful life is based on the building life when acquired with an average estimated useful life of approximately 32 years. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the finite lived intangibles whenever an impairment indicator is present. The Company's indefinite lived intangibles consist primarily of values assigned to CON/bed licenses that are separable from the buildings. The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite lived intangibles. On an annual basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of the indefinite lived intangibles and goodwill by performing an impairment test. The Company performs its annual test for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year. For the year ended December 31, 2016 the test results indicated no impairment necessary.
Deferred Financing Costs		The Company records deferred financing costs associated with debt obligations as direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. Costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method and are reflected as interest expense. The straight-line method yields results substantially similar to those that would be produced under the effective interest rate method.
Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions		Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that included the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for the future tax benefits from net operating loss and other carry forwards. Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when the recoverability of such assets is not deemed more likely than not. Judgment is required in evaluating uncertain tax positions. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Company classifies unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous state and local jurisdictions. In general, the Company's tax returns filed for the 2013 through 2016 tax years are still subject to potential examination by taxing authorities. In early 2014, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") initiated an examination of the Company's income tax return for the 2011 income tax year. On May 7, 2014, the IRS completed and closed the examination and no changes were required to the Company's 2011 income tax return. In October 2014, the Georgia Department of Revenue ("GDOR") initiated an examination of the Company's Georgia income tax returns and net worth returns for the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 income tax years, which was closed during 2016, with no adjustments required to the filed tax returns. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently under examination by any other major income tax jurisdiction.
Stock Based Compensation		The Company follows the provisions of ASC topic 718 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation ”, which requires the use of the fair-value based method to determine compensation for all arrangements under which employees, non-employees, and others receive shares of stock or equity instruments (options, warrants or restricted shares). All awards are amortized on a straight-line basis over their vesting terms.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments	Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Accounting guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The categorization of a measurement within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2— Other observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3— Significant unobservable inputs The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments of the Company approximates their fair value. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates.

Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values, they are receivable or payable on demand, or the interest rates earned and/or paid approximate current market rates.
Self-Insurance		The Company was self-insured for employee medical claims (in all states except for Oklahoma, where the Company participates in the Oklahoma state subsidy program) and had a large deductible workers' compensation plan (in all states except for Ohio, where workers' compensation is covered under a premium-only policy provided by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation). Additionally, the Company maintains insurance programs, including general and professional liability, property, casualty, directors' and officers' liability, crime, automobile and employment practices liability. In July 2014, the Board approved and commenced the Transition. In 2015, the insurance programs described above changed in order to address the different needs of the Company as a result of the Transition. The Company's workers compensation plan transitioned from a high deductible to a guaranteed cost program in February 2015. As of December 31, 2016 , claims incurred but not reported or unsettled claims for the legacy self-insured employee medical plan and the large deductible workers' compensation plan are recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements. Professional liability insurance was provided to facilities operations up until the date of transfer. Claims which were associated with prior operations of the Company but not reported as of the transition date were self-insured. The Company has self-insured against professional and general liability claims since it discontinued its healthcare operations in connection with the Transition. The Company evaluates quarterly the adequacy of its self-insurance reserve based on a number of factors, including: (i) the number of actions pending and the relief sought; (ii) analyses provided by defense counsel, medical experts or other information which comes to light during discovery; (iii) the legal fees and other expenses anticipated to be incurred in defending the actions; (v) the status and likely success of any mediation or settlement discussions; and (vi) the venues in which the actions have been filed or will be adjudicated. The Company currently believes that most of the professional and general liability actions, and particularly many of the most recently filed actions, are defensible and intends to defend them through final judgment. Accordingly, the self-insurance reserve primarily reflects the Company's estimated legal costs of litigating the pending actions accordingly. Because the self-insurance reserve is based on estimates, the amount of the self-insurance reserve may not be sufficient to cover the legal costs actually incurred in litigating the pending actions. Since these reserves are based on estimates the actual expenses we incur may differ from the amount reserved. See Note 8 - Accrued Expenses .
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB accounting pronouncements and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") interpretations that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 , which requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods and services. This new standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affect the recognition of revenue from leases. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and subsequently amended the new revenue standard under ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 in April and May 2016, respectively. ASU 2016-10 provides additional guidance for identifying performance obligations and licenses of intellectual property, and ASU 2016-12 clarifies guidance regarding collectibility, noncash considerations and completed contracts at transition. These new revenue standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted under the original effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 creates a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases . This new Topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, with the intention to simplify aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax impacts, classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. The various amendments within the standard require different approaches to adoption, on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company adopted the various amendments in its consolidated financial statements for the three month period ending March 31, 2017 with an effective date of January 1, 2017. The Company has elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 , which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the required periodic test for goodwill impairment and modifies the concept of impairment of goodwill under previous guidance, ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other . Under the updated guidance, a goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This simplification eliminates previous requirements to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and record a loss on impairment equal to the carrying value of goodwill less the implied fair value. Further, the ASU modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on a prospective basis for annual and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.	Except for rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal securities laws, FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature applicable to the Company. The Company has reviewed the FASB accounting pronouncements and ASU interpretations that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 , which amends the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This ASU should be applied prospectively and is effective for the Company for the 2015 annual and interim reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2015. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, guidance which requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for goods and services. The new standard requires the disclosure of sufficient quantitative and qualitative information for financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and associated cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance does not affect the recognition of revenue from leases. In August 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. As a result, this new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Early application is permitted under the original effective date of fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations and related disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 , which provides guidance regarding an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which requires management to assess a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. The amortization of debt issuance costs will be reported as interest expense. The new standard is to be applied on a retrospective basis and reported as a change in an accounting principle. In August 2015, the FASB released clarifying guidance for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, which permits debt issuance costs to be presented as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. Debt issuance costs associated with a line of credit can be amortized ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has concluded that changes in its accounting required by this new guidance will not materially impact the Company's financial position or results of operations and related disclosures.. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 , which requires that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Under this guidance the acquirer recognizes, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. New disclosures are required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recognized in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recognized in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. At adoption, the new guidance is to be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating changes in its accounting required by this new standard and the impact to the Company's financial position and related disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015 - 17, under the simplification and productivity initiative for presentation of deferred income tax liabilities and assets. This guidance simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes such that deferred tax liabilities and assets are to be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The update does not amend the current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period and may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has elected to early adopt, prospectively, the new guidance as of the balance sheet date. At December 31, 2015, the adoption resulted in a reclassification from current to noncurrent deferred tax assets of $6.2 million before consideration of the related valuation allowance, with the net amount presented as noncurrent deferred tax liability. The Company did not have any reclassifications of the deferred tax liability amounts. Prior periods are not retrospectively adjusted under the prospective adoption. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which provides revised accounting guidance related to the accounting for and reporting of financial instruments. This guidance significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (i) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (ii) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance, ASC 840, Leases . ASU 2016-02 creates a new Topic, ASC 842, Leases . This new topic retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 , which amends the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 , which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow classification, including requirements to allocate certain components of these cash receipts and payments among operating, investing and financing activities. The retrospective transition method, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented, is required unless it is impracticable for some of the amendments, in which case those amendments would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 , which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
