ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         The Company received the Atria Common Stock in connection with an
Agreement and Plan  of  Reorganization,  dated  as  of April 30, 1998 (the
"Reorganization  Agreement"),   between   the   Company  and  Ventas, Inc.
(formerly known as Vencor, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and former parent
of the Company ("Ventas"), and a Distribution Agreement, dated as of April
30, 1998,  between  the  Company  and  Ventas,  pursuant  to which  Ventas
effected a corporate restructuring and distributed the common stock of the
Company to the  stockholders of  Ventas  on a pro-rata basis.  The Company
transferred the Atria  Common  Stock  to  Vencor  Holdings  in  connection
with the Reorganization Agreement.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The  Company  and Vencor Holdings acquired the Atria Common Stock
for the  purpose  of  making  an investment in the Issuer and not with the
present intention of acquiring control of the Issuer's business.

         On  April  19,  1998,  the  Issuer,  Kapson Senior Quarters Corp. 
("Kapson"),  an  affiliate of  Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors L.L.C.,
and KA Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kapson, signed an
Agreement

<PAGE>

CUSIP NO. 049905102                     13D                 Page 7 of 10 Pages


and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") under which Kapson would acquire
the  Issuer  in a  transaction  valued at $750 million.  The  transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on September 15, 1998.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company received $20.25 per share in
cash for 8,765,432 shares or approximately 88% of its Atria  Common  Stock
(approximately  $177.5 million) and retained the remaining shares of Atria
Common Stock after the merger.

         Regarding  the Atria Common Stock  that  was  not  sold  to Kapson
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company and Vencor Holdings intend to
continue  to  review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various
factors, including the Issuer's  business,  financial condition, results of
operations and  prospects,  general  economic  and industry conditions, the
securities markets in  general  and  those  for  the Issuer's securities in
particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.
Based upon such review, the Company will take such actions in the future as
the Company may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from
time to time.

         As of the date of this statement, neither the Company nor Vencor
Holdings has plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer that could relate
to or could result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except that as a result of the consummation of the
Merger Agreement:  (i) Kapson agreed to cause one member of the Issuer's board
of directors to be a person designated by Vencor who is reasonably acceptable
to Kapson;  and  (ii)  the  registration  of  the  Issuer's  Common Stock was
terminated pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act and is no longer quoted in
an inter-dealer quotation system.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         On April 30, 1998, the Company received 10,000,000 shares of Atria
Common  Stock  pursuant  to  the  Reorganization  Agreement,   representing
approximately 43% of the total number of shares outstanding.   On April 30,
