     On March 19, 1996, Emeritus Corporation completed a sale/leaseback
financing (the "Refinancing") of nine assisted-living communities, seven of
which were previously owned by the Company and two new developments. The
Company reported the Refinancing on its Current Report on Form 8-K dated
March 19, 1996 (the "Form 8-K").  Item 2 of the Form 8-K is hereby revised
in its entirety and Item 7 of the Form 8-K is hereby revised and
supplemented to include certain pro forma financial information with
respect to the Refinancing.

Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ------    ------------------------------------

          On March 19, 1996, Emeritus Corporation (the "Company")
          completed $58 million in sale/leaseback financing with a
          healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT).  The
          financing included nine assisted-living communities, six
          operating communities of which were previously owned by
          the Company,  one development community of which was
          previously owned by the Company and two new developments.
          Construction is expected to commence on the two new
          developments in the second quarter of 1996.  The $58
          million transaction aggregated approximately 900 assisted-
          living units in four states.
          
          The six operating communities and one development
          community  previously owned were subject to mortgage
          indebtedness of approximately $26.1 million which was
          repaid upon closing.  Pursuant to the sale/leaseback the
          Company entered into operating leases on all seven
          communities.  Each of such leases has a term of eleven
          years with an option to extend the lease for four
          additional periods of five years each.  Rent for the six
          previously owned operating communities and one previously
          owned development community consists of base rent, which
          the Company expects will equal an annual aggregate of
          approximately $3.5 million and $526,000, respectively,
          plus additional rent, the  calculation of which is based
          on the revenue of each respective property.  Such
          additional rent shall be payable commencing  during the
          third year of the lease term.
          
          The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety
          by reference to the full text of the leases which are
          filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
