Nursing homes operation AdCare Health Systems Inc. (NYSE Amex: ADK) has closed a $6 million equity sale that it plans to use to fund acquisitions.

The long-term care provider sold 1.7 million shares at a price of $3.50 each to raise the sum, according to a statement from AdCare.

AdCare netted $5.4 million from the sale after underwriting discounts, commissions and  legal fees are subtracted. The company plans to use the cash for acquisitions, working capital and general coporate purposes.

Last year AdCare posted its first profitable year since it went public in 2006. The company reported net income of $440,000 on revenues of $27 million. The 900-employee company operates 19 facilities–11 nursing homes, seven assisted-living facilities and one “independent senior living community.”

In December, the company raised $2.5 million in  a stock sale.
