        Almost Family Announces Acquisition of Florida Home Health Agency
          Plans to Announce Quarterly Results Friday November 12, 2004

Louisville, KY - Almost Family, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFAM) today announced that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets and business
operations of an Orlando FL Medicare-certified home health agency from BayCare
Health System. Terms of the transaction, which is expected to close November 30,
2004, were not disclosed. The agency is not expected to make a significant
contribution to Almost Family in 2004.

William B. Yarmuth, Chairman and CEO, commented on the announcement: "We are
excited to announce the first of what we hope is series of acquisitions of
Visiting Nurse operations as called for in our business plan. This acquisition
adds a very important market, metropolitan Orlando, to our growing number of
Florida markets. We are very pleased to welcome the agency employees and
patients into the Almost Family fold."

Regarding future acquisitions Yarmuth commented: "We are currently evaluating
several home health acquisition opportunities that we believe will add value to
our business and our shareholders. While we will be very selective in the
process, we currently expect that we will be able to complete a number of
transactions over the course of the next year."

The Company's 2003 Form 10-K includes a description of its business plan which
calls for an increase in emphasis on the Visiting Nurse segment.

The Company also noted that it plans to announce its 2004 third quarter
operating results on Friday November 12, 2004.

Almost Family, Inc. TM and subsidiaries (collectively "Almost Family") is a
leading regional provider of home health nursing services and adult day health
services. The Company has service locations in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio,
Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama and Indiana (in order of revenue
significance).
