                                 VISTACARE, INC.

                        2002 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

l.    Purpose.  The purpose of this Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan")
      is to provide employees of VistaCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
      "Company"), and its subsidiaries, who wish to become stockholders of
      the Company an opportunity to purchase shares ("Shares") of the Class A
      Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common
      Stock").  The Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee stock
      purchase plan" within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal
      Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

2.    Eligible Employees.  Subject to provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9
      below, any individual who is in the full-time employment (as defined
      below) of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries (as defined in
      Section 424(f) of the Code) the employees of which are designated by
      the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") as eligible to
      participate in the Plan, is eligible to participate in any Offering of
      Shares (as defined in Section 3 below) made by the Company hereunder.
      Full-time employment shall include all employees whose customary
      employment is:

      (a)   in excess of 20 hours per week; and

      (b)   more than five months in the relevant calendar year.

3.    Offering Dates. From time to time the Company, by action of the Board,
      will grant rights to purchase Shares to employees eligible to participate
      in the Plan pursuant to one or more offerings (each of which is an
      "Offering") on a date or series of dates (each of which is an "Offering
      Date") designated for this purpose by the Board.

4.    Prices.  The Price per share for each grant of rights hereunder shall
      be the lesser of:

      (a)   eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a Share on
            the Offering Date on which such right was granted; or

      (b)   eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of a Share on the
            date such right is exercised.

      At its discretion, the Board of Directors may determine a higher price for
      a grant of rights.

      For purposes of this Plan, the term "fair market value" on any date means
      (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Company's
      Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the
      Common Stock is traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national
      securities exchange; or (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date)
      of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market System, if
<PAGE>
      the Common Stock is not then traded on a national securities exchange; or
      (iii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted (on that
      date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities,
      if the Common Sock is not reported on the Nasdaq National Market System or
      on a national securities exchange. If the Company's Common Stock is not
      publicly traded at the time a right is granted under this Plan, "fair
      market value" shall mean the fair market value of the Common Stock as
      determined by the Board after taking into consideration all factors which
      it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, recent sale and offer
      prices of the Common Stock in private transactions negotiated at arm's
      length.

5.    Exercise of Rights and Method of Payment.

      (a)   Rights granted under the Plan will be exercisable periodically on
            specified dates as determined by the Board.

      (b)   The method of payment for Shares purchased upon exercise of rights
            granted hereunder shall be through regular payroll deductions or by
            lump sum cash payment, or both, as determined by the Board. No
            interest shall be paid upon payroll deductions unless specifically
            provided for by the Board.

      (c)   Any payments received by the Company from a participating employee
            and not utilized for the purchase of Shares upon exercise of a right
            granted hereunder shall be promptly returned to such employee by the
            Company after termination of the right to which the payment relates.

6.    Term of Rights. Rights granted on any Offering Date shall be exercisable
      upon the expiration of such period ("Offering Period") as shall be
      determined by the Board when it authorizes the Offering, provided that
      such Offering Period shall in no event be longer than twenty-seven (27)
      months.

7.    Shares Subject to the Plan.  No more than 500,000 Shares may be sold
      pursuant to rights granted under the Plan; provided, however, that
      appropriate adjustment shall be made in such number, in the number of
      Shares covered by outstanding rights granted hereunder, in the exercise
      price of the rights and in the maximum number of Shares which an
      employee may purchase (pursuant to Section 9 below) to give effect to
      any mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock
      splits, stock dividends or other relevant changes in the capitalization
      of the Company occurring after the effective date of the Plan, provided
      that no fractional Shares shall be subject to a right and each right
      shall be adjusted downward to the nearest full Share.  Any agreement of
      merger or consolidation will include provisions for protection of the
      then existing rights of participating employees under the Plan.  Either
      authorized and unissued Shares or issued Shares heretofore or hereafter
      reacquired by the Company may be made subject to rights under the
      Plan.  If for any reason any right under the Plan terminates in whole
      or in part, Shares subject to such terminated right may again be
      subjected to a right under the Plan.

8.    Limitation on Grants.

      (a)   No employee shall be granted a right hereunder if such employee,
            immediately after the right is granted, would own stock or rights to
            purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total
            combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the
            Company, or of any subsidiary, computed in accordance with Sections
            423(b)(3) and 424(d) of the Code.

      (b)   No employee shall be granted a right which permits his right to
            purchase shares under all employee stock purchase plans of the
            Company and its subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds
            twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) (or such other maximum as
            may be prescribed from time to time by the Code) of the fair
            market value of such Shares (determined at the time such right is
            granted) for each calendar year in which such right is
            outstanding at any time in accordance with the provisions of
            Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

      (c)   No right granted to any participating employee under a single
            Offering shall cover more shares than may be purchased at an
            exercise price equal to 10% of the base salary payable to the
            employee during the Offering not taking into consideration any
            changes in the employee's rate of compensation after the date the
            employee elects to participate in the Offering, or such other
            percentage as determined by the Board from time to time.  This
            provision shall be construed to meet the requirements set forth
            in Section 423(b)(5) of the Code.

9.    Limit on Participation.  Participation in an Offering shall be limited
      to eligible employees who elect to participate in such Offering in the
      manner, and within the time limitation, established by the Board when
      it authorizes the Offering.

10.   Cancellation of Election to Participate.  An employee who has elected
      to participate in an Offering may, unless the employee has waived this
      cancellation right at the time of such election in a manner established
      by the Board, cancel such election as to all (but not part) of the
      rights granted under such Offering by giving written notice of such
      cancellation to the Company before the expiration of the Offering
      Period.  Any amounts paid by the employee for the Shares or withheld
      for the purchase of Shares from the employee's compensation through
      payroll deductions shall be paid to the employee, without interest,
      upon such cancellation.

11.   Termination of Employment. Upon termination of employment for any reason,
      including the death of the employee, before the date on which any rights
      granted under the Plan are exercisable, all such rights shall immediately
      terminate and amounts paid by the employee for the Shares or withheld for
      the purchase of Shares from the employee's compensation through payroll
      deductions shall be paid to the employee or to the employee's estate,
      without interest.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
12.   Employee's Rights as Stockholder. No participating employee shall have any
      rights as a stockholder in the Shares covered by a right granted hereunder
      until such right has been exercised, full payment has been made for the
      corresponding Shares and a certificate for the Shares is actually issued.

13.   Rights Not Transferable.  Rights under the Plan are not assignable or
      transferable by a participating employee and are exercisable only by
      the employee.

14.   Limits on Sale of Stock Purchased Under the Plan.  The Plan is intended
      to provide shares of Common Stock for investment and not for resale.
      The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence any
      employee in the conduct of his or her own affairs.  An employee may,
      therefore, sell stock purchased under the Plan at any time the employee
      chooses, subject to compliance with any applicable federal or state
      securities laws; provided, however, that because of certain federal tax
      requirements, each employee agrees by entering the Plan, promptly to
      give the Company notice of any such stock disposed of within two years
      after the date of grant or within one year of the date of exercise of
      the applicable right, such notice to set forth the number of such
      shares disposed of.  THE EMPLOYEE ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET
      FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK.

15.   Amendments to or Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board may at any time
      terminate or amend the Plan without notice and without further action on
      the part of stockholders of the Company, provided:

      (a)   that no such termination or amendment shall adversely affect the
            then existing rights of any participating employee; and

      (b)   that any such amendment which:

            (i)   increases the number of Shares subject to the Plan (subject to
                  the provisions of Section 7); or

            (ii)  changes the class of persons eligible to participate under the
                  Plan

      shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company.

16.   Effective Date and Approvals.  The Plan was adopted by the Board on
      July 29, 2002 to become effective as of said date.  The Company's
      obligation to offer, sell and deliver its Shares under the Plan is
      subject to the approval of its stockholders not later than July 29,
      2003 and of any governmental authority required in connection with the
      authorized issuance or sale of such Shares and is further subject to
      the Company receiving the opinion of its counsel that all applicable
      securities laws have been complied with.

17.   Term of Plan.  No rights shall be granted under the Plan after July 29,
      2012.

                                      -4-

18.   Administration of the Plan.  The Board or any committee or persons to
      whom it delegates its authority (the "Administrator") shall administer,
      interpret and apply all provisions of the Plan.  The Administrator may
      waive such provisions of the Plan as it deems necessary to meet special
      circumstances not anticipated or covered expressly by the Plan.
      Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to authorize the
      Administrator to alter or administer the provisions of the Plan in a
      manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 423 of the Code.  No
      member of the Administrator shall be liable for any action or
      determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any right
      granted under it.

questions concerning interpretation of the Plan or any options granted under it
shall be resolved by the Board of Directors and such resolution shall be final
and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. The Board of
Directors may, to the full extent permitted by or consistent with applicable
laws or regulations, delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to a
committee appointed by the Board of Directors, and if a committee is so
appointed, all references to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall mean and
relate to such committee.

subsidiary of the Company ("non-employee directors") shall be eligible to
receive options under the Plan.

4.    Stock Subject to the Plan.

      (a) The maximum number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), which may be issued under the Plan
shall be 300,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7.

      (b) If any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason expires or is
terminated without having been exercised in full, the shares covered by the
unexercised portion of such option shall again become available for issuance
pursuant to the Plan.

      (c) All options granted under the Plan shall be non-statutory options not
entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

      (d) Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in part of
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

5.    Terms, Conditions and Form of Options.

      Each option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
agreement in such form as the Company shall from time to time approve, which
agreements shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:
<PAGE>
      (a) Option Grant Dates. Options shall automatically be granted to the
Directors as follows:

            (i) each person who first becomes a non-employee director after the
Company's initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be
granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of his
or her election to the Board of Directors; and

            (ii) each non-employee director shall be granted an option to
purchase 6,000 shares of Common Stock on May 31 of each year, beginning May 31,
2003, provided he or she attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of
Directors or any committees on which he or she served in the preceding year.

      Each date of grant of an option pursuant to this Section 5(a) is
hereinafter referred to as an "Option Grant Date."

      (b) Option Exercise Price. The option exercise price per share for each
option granted under the Plan shall equal (i) the closing price on any national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, (ii) the closing price
of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market or (iii) the average of the
closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market, whichever is
applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal, on the Option Grant Date.
If no sales of Common Stock were made on the Option Grant Date, the price of the
Common Stock for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be the reported
price for the next preceding day on which sales were made.

      (c) Transferability of Options. Except as the Board may otherwise
determine or provide in an option granted under the Plan, any option granted
under the Plan to an optionee shall not be transferable by the optionee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable
during the optionee's lifetime only by the optionee or the optionee's guardian
or legal representative. References to an optionee, to the extent relevant in
the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.

      (d) Vesting Period.

            (i) General. Each option granted under the Plan pursuant to Section
5(a) above (1) shall be immediately exercisable with respect to one-half of the
shares covered thereby and (2) shall become exercisable with respect to the
remaining one-half of the shares covered thereby on the first anniversary of the
Option Grant Date; provided, in the case of this clause (2), that the optionee
is serving as a director of the Company on such anniversary.

            (ii) Acceleration Upon a Change In Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each outstanding option granted under the Plan shall immediately
become exercisable for 100% of the shares covered thereby upon the occurrence of
Change in Control Event (as defined in Section 8) with respect to the Company.

                                       2
<PAGE>
            (iii) Right to Receive Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5(d)(i) above, the Board shall have the authority to grant
options (including options granted pursuant to Section 5(a) above) which are
immediately exercisable subject to the Company's right to repurchase any
unvested shares of stock acquired by the optionee on exercise of an option in
the event such optionee's service as a director terminates for any reason.

      (e) Termination. Each option shall terminate, and may no longer be
exercised, on the earlier of (i) the date ten years after the Option Grant Date
of such option or (ii) the first anniversary of the date on which the optionee
ceases to serve as a director of the Company.

      (f) Exercise Procedure. An option may be exercised only by written notice
to the Company at its principal office accompanied by (i) payment in cash or by
certified or bank check of the full consideration for the shares as to which
they are exercised, (ii) delivery of outstanding shares of Common Stock (which
have been outstanding for at least six months) having a fair market value on the
last business day preceding the date of exercise equal to the option exercise
price, or (iii) an irrevocable undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver
promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price or delivery
of irrevocable instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price.

      (g) Exercise by Representative Following Death of Director. An optionee,
by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from
time to time change such designation), including his or her legal
representative, who, by reason of the optionee's death, shall acquire the right
to exercise all or a portion of the option. If the person or persons so
designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within
the term of the option as provided herein. Any exercise by a representative
shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan.

6.    Limitation of Rights.

      (a) No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor the granting
of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute
or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the
Company will retain the optionee as a director for any period of time.

      (b) No Stockholders' Rights for Options. An optionee shall have no rights
as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his or her option until
the date of the issuance to him or her of a stock certificate therefor, and no
adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights (except as provided in
Section 7) for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is
issued.

      (c) Compliance with Securities Laws. Each option shall be subject to the
requirement that if, at any time, counsel to the Company shall determine that
the listing, registration or qualification of the shares subject to such option
upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent
or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, or the disclosure of
non-public information or the satisfaction of any other condition is necessary
as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of shares
thereunder, such option

                                       3
<PAGE>
may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless such listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval, or satisfaction of such condition shall have
been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Board of Directors.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain
such listing, registration or qualification, or to satisfy such condition.

7.    Adjustment Provisions for Mergers, Recapitalizations and Related
      Transactions.

      If, through or as a result of any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, or other similar transaction, (i) the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or of
another entity, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other
securities of the Company or of another entity are distributed with respect to
such shares of Common Stock, the Board of Directors shall make an appropriate
and proportionate adjustment in (x) the maximum number and kind of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan, (y) the number and kind of shares or other
securities subject to then outstanding options under the Plan, and (z) the price
for each share subject to any then outstanding options under the Plan (without
changing the aggregate purchase price for such options), to the end that each
option shall be exercisable, for the same aggregate exercise price, for such
securities as such optionholder would have held immediately following such event
if he had exercised such option immediately prior to such event. No fractional
shares will be issued under the Plan on account of any such adjustments.

8.    Definition of "Change in Control Event".

      A "Change in Control Event" shall mean:

      (a) the acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership of any
capital stock of the Company after the date of adoption of this Plan by the
Board of Directors if, after such acquisition, such Person beneficially owns
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) 30% or
more of either (x) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company
(the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (y) the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided,
however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions
shall not constitute a Change in Control Event: (A) any acquisition directly
from the Company or an underwriter or agent of the Company (excluding an
acquisition pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security
exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for common stock or voting
securities of the Company, unless the Person exercising, converting or
exchanging such security acquired such security directly from the Company or an
underwriter or agent of the Company), (B) any acquisition by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any
corporation controlled by the Company, or (C) any acquisition by any corporation
pursuant to a Business Combination (as defined below) which complies with
clauses (x) and (y) of subsection (c) of this definition; or

                                       4
<PAGE>
      (b) such time as the Continuing Directors (as defined below) do not
constitute a majority of the Board (or, if applicable, the Board of Directors of
a successor corporation to the Company), where the term "Continuing Director"
means at any date a member of the Board (x) who was a member of the Board on the
date of the initial adoption of this Plan by the Board or (y) who was nominated
or elected subsequent to such date by at least a majority of the directors who
were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election or whose
election to the Board was recommended or endorsed by at least a majority of the
directors who were Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or
election; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from this clause (y)
any individual whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an
actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of
directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents, by
or on behalf of a person other than the Board; or

      (c) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or statutory share exchange involving the Company or a sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a
"Business Combination"), unless, immediately following such Business
Combination, each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (x) all or
substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners
of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own,
directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common
stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting
or acquiring corporation in such Business Combination (which shall include,
without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the
Company or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through
one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is referred
to herein as the "Acquiring Corporation") in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding
Company Voting Securities, respectively, immediately prior to such Business
Combination and (y) no Person (excluding the Acquiring Corporation or any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company
or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30%
