Case Status:    DISMISSED    
On or around 02/10/2012 (Court's order of dismissal)

Filing Date: August 03, 2010

Almost Family, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide home health nursing, rehabilitation and care services.

According to the Complaint filed August 02, 2010, during the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's operations and its business and financial results and outlook. Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose that: (i) the Company was deliberately increasing the number of unnecessary home therapy visits in order to receive increased Medicare reimbursements and (ii) as a result of Defendants' conduct, the Company's reported sales and earnings were materially inflated. As a direct result of Defendants' false statements, Almost Family's common stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, reaching a high of $43.96 per shares on April 29, 2010.

On December 22, 2010, the Court granted an order appointing lead Plaintiffs and approving lead Plaintiffs’ selection of co-lead Counsel. On the same day, the Court also granted an order of administrative dismissal & consolidation of files, issuing the docket number for the lead case.

On March 04, 2011, a Consolidated Class Action Complaint was filed by the lead Plaintiffs against the Defendants.

On February 10, 2012, the Court issued an order granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss with prejudice, thereby closing the case.
