To the shareholders of ARV Assisted Living, Inc.:
We have previously forwarded to you proxy materials dated

Living, Inc. Those materials also refer to a GOLD proxy card to be used in
connection with a Special Meeting of ARV shareholders. Because certain
mailing procedures provide for only one card per mailing, the GOLD card was
not included in the original mailing. Please sign, date and return both
the GOLD card enclosed herewith and the BLUE card previously furnished to
you. A postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your use.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Emeritus Corporation
