Goodwill is tested for impairment annually with a test date of October 1 or sooner if indicators of impairment are present. No indicators of impairment were present during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As identified in Note 4, the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Emeritus was adjusted during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which resulted in a $1.8 million decrease to the goodwill allocated to the Assisted Living segment. The purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Emeritus is preliminary and the finalization of such estimate may result in future adjustments to goodwill balances reported in the table above. The following is a summary of other intangible assets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $3.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Health care licenses were determined to be indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not subject to amortization. The community purchase options are not currently amortized, but will be added to the cost basis of the related communities if the option is exercised, and will then be depreciated over the estimated useful life of the community.
