                              PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

   The  following  summary is  qualified  in its  entirety by the more  detailed
information  and financial  statements,  including the notes thereto,  appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.  Prospective  investors should carefully  consider
the information set forth under "Risk Factors."

                                 THE COMPANY

   
   The Company provides  assisted living and related services to the private pay
elderly market. Assisted living facilities combine housing, personalized support
and healthcare services in a cost-effective,  non-institutional setting designed
to address the individual needs of the elderly who need regular  assistance with
activities  of daily  living,  such as eating,  bathing,  dressing  and personal
hygiene,  but who do not require the level of  healthcare  provided in a skilled
nursing facility.  The Company  currently  operates 18 assisted living and other
senior  housing  facilities  containing  1,777 units in seven states.  The 1,777
units operated by the Company consist of 1,152 assisted living units  (including
137 units devoted to Alzheimer's  and dementia  care),  544  independent  living
units for persons who require occasional assistance with the activities of daily
living,  and 81 skilled  nursing  units.  The  Company is pursuing a strategy of
rapid growth through development and acquisition and intends to acquire, develop
or obtain agreements to manage approximately 60 to 75 assisted living facilities
per year in each of the  next  three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is
currently  developing  35  new  assisted  living  facilities,  of  which  25 are
scheduled  to open during  1997,  has  entered  into  agreements  to acquire one
facility containing 258 units simultaneous with the closing of this offering and
a leasehold interest in one facility  containing 35 units in August 1996, and is
evaluating numerous additional acquisition opportunities.  All of ILC's revenues
from its owned and leased  facilities  for 1995 and the first six months of 1996
were derived from private-pay sources. 
    

   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the  Company's  strategy to achieve  this goal are to: (i) provide  high-quality
healthcare-oriented   services;   (ii)  grow  rapidly  through  development  and
acquisition   of  assisted   living   facilities;   (iii)  utilize  a  flexible,
cost-effective  approach for the development of new assisted living  facilities;
and (iv) target a broad segment of the private-pay population.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous  small   operators   whose  scope  of  services  vary  widely.   Annual
expenditures for assisted living services were estimated to be $10 to 12 billion
in 1995.  The Company  believes that factors  contributing  to the growth of the
assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S. population; (ii) the
increasing  affluence of the elderly and their  families;  (iii) the  decreasing
availability  of family care in the home;  (iv) consumer  preference for greater
independence and a less institutional  setting;  (v) the increasing  emphasis by
both federal and state governments and private insurers on containing  long-term
care costs;  and (vi) the reduced  availability of skilled nursing beds for less
medically intensive residents.  The Company believes that the foregoing factors,
combined with the  fragmented  nature of the industry and the  inexperience  and
lack of resources of many operators,  have created a significant opportunity for
ILC to become a leading  provider of  high-quality,  affordable  assisted living
services.

   The Company  believes  that its approach to the  development  of new assisted
living  facilities  differs  from  that of many  other  operators.  Unlike  many
assisted  living  operators,  the Company intends to rely primarily on a limited
number  of  third-party  developers,  rather  than  maintain  a  large  internal
development staff. ILC currently has relationships with three developers,  which
developers  are  responsible  for  32  of  the  35  facilities  currently  under
development  by the Company.  The Company has,  together with these  developers,
developed  three  flexible  and  expandable   prototype  building  designs.  The
flexibility  feature is expected  to allow the  facility's  assisted  living and
Alzheimer's bed allotment to be quickly and cost-effectively  reconfigured based
on changing market demand.  The  expandability  feature is expected to allow the
prototype buildings to be easily and cost-effectively expanded with little or no
disruption to current operations.  The Company believes its development approach
will offer many advantages, including better construction quality control, lower
architectural  and engineering  fees, bulk purchasing of materials and fixtures,
and faster development and construction schedules.

(1)   The pro forma  statements of operations  data for the year ended  December
      31, 1995 and the six months  ended June 30,  1996 were  prepared as if the
      Company's  interest  in the  following  facilities  had been  acquired  on
      January 1, 1995: Vintage Healthcare Center  ("Vintage"),  which was leased
      by the Company commencing January 29, 1996; Terrace Gardens Healthcare and
      Retirement  Center  ("Terrace  Gardens"),  which the Company has agreed to
      acquire  simultaneous  with the  closing of this  offering;  Homestead  of
      Garden City ("Garden  City"),  which the Company leased  effective July 1,
      1996; and Carrington Pointe, which the Company acquired effective December
      31,  1995.  Effective  June 1, 1996,  the  Company  received  as a capital
      contribution  condominium  interests  in the  assisted  living and related
      portions of the Vintage,  Treemont Retirement  Community  ("Treemont") and
      West Palm  Beach  Retirement  ("West  Palm  Beach")  facilities  which the
      Company  had  previously  leased  from  IHS.  Accordingly,  the pro  forma
      statement of operations data is adjusted to decrease rent expense
     

                                        4

      associated with these  facilities and to increase  depreciation  resulting
      from the receipt of a condominium  interest in these  facilities.  The pro
      forma  statement  of  operations  data is also  adjusted  to (i)  increase
      facility rents to reflect an increase in rent for the Company's Shores and
      Cheyenne Place Retirement  ("Cheyenne Place") facilities effective June 1,
      1996 and (ii) increase  corporate  administrative  and general expenses to
      reflect management's  estimate of the additional corporate  administrative
      and general expense that would have been incurred during the period if the
      Company had operated on a stand-alone basis. No pro forma adjustments have
      been made to reflect the  operations of the Homestead of Wichita  facility
      ("Homestead Wichita"),  which the Company leased commencing July 17, 1996,
      or the Cabot  Pointe  facility,  which  the  Company  has  agreed to lease
      commencing in August 1996,  because such  facilities were not in operation
      at June 30, 1996.  See "Company  History,"  "Use of Proceeds,"  "Pro Forma
      Financial Information" and "Business -- Properties."

(2)   The Company has grown substantially through acquisitions, which materially
      affects the  comparability  of the financial  data reflected  herein.  See
      "Company History" and "Certain Transactions."

(3)   In 1995, the Company implemented  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's
      Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121 in  connection  with
      IHS'  implementation  thereof.  Through evaluation of the recent financial
      performance and a recent  appraisal of one of its facilities,  the Company
      estimated the fair value of this facility and determined that the carrying
      value of certain long-lived  assets,  including goodwill and buildings and
      improvements,  exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying value was
      written off and is included in the statement of  operations  for 1995 as a
      loss on impairment of long-lived assets. See "Management's  Discussion and
      Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

(4)   The pro forma weighted  average shares  outstanding is presented as if the
      Company sold 795,047  shares of Common Stock,  representing  the number of
      shares  which  would be  required to be sold by the Company at the assumed
      initial  public  offering  price of  $16.50  per share  (net of  estimated
      underwriting discounts) in order for the Company to pay the purchase price
      for the Terrace Gardens facility. See "Use of Proceeds."

(5)   The pro forma  balance  sheet data as of June 30, 1996 was  prepared as if
      the  acquisition  of the Terrace  Gardens  facility,  which is expected to
      close simultaneous with the closing of this offering, had been consummated
      as of June 30, 1996.  No pro forma  adjustments  have been made to reflect
      the  acquisition of leasehold  interests in the Cabot Pointe,  Garden City
      and Homestead  Wichita  facilities  because such acquisitions will have no
      effect on the Company's  balance  sheet.  See "Company  History,"  "Use of
      Proceeds," "Pro Forma Financial Information" and "Business -- Properties."

(6)   Adjusted to reflect (i) the transaction reflected in note 5 above and (ii)
      the sale of 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby
      at an assumed  initial  public  offering price of $16.50 per share and the
      application  of the  estimated net proceeds  therefrom as described  under
      "Use of Proceeds." 
    

               RELATIONSHIPS WITH INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC.

   
   The Company is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Integrated Health Services, Inc.
Upon completion of this offering,  IHS and its directors and executive  officers
will  continue  to  beneficially  own  approximately   23.0%  of  the  Company's
outstanding Common Stock (approximately 20.7% if the Underwriters exercise their
over-allotment   option  in  full),  and  IHS  will  be  the  Company's  largest
stockholder.  As a result of its  ownership  interest  upon  completion  of this
offering,  IHS  could  have a  significant  influence  over,  and may be able to
control,  the vote on all  matters  submitted  to  stockholders,  including  the
election of directors and the approval of extraordinary transactions. Currently,
two of the six members of the  Company's  Board of Directors  are  directors and

healthcare and administrative  services to the Company.  Following completion of
this offering certain of these  arrangements and services will be terminated and
others will be modified.  See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on IHS," "-- Potential
Conflicts of Interest with IHS" and "Certain Transactions."
    

                             ---------------------

   Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Prospectus (i) assumes no
exercise of the Underwriters'  option to purchase from the Company up to 979,500
additional  shares of Common  Stock to cover  over-allotments,  if any, and (ii)
gives effect to the  issuance of 4,960,900  shares of Common Stock as a dividend

                                 RISK FACTORS

   Prospective  purchasers  of the Common Stock offered  hereby should  consider
carefully the factors set forth below, as well as other information contained in
this  Prospectus,  before making a decision to purchase the Common Stock offered
hereby.  This  Prospectus  contains,  in  addition  to  historical  information,
forward-looking  statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results could differ  materially.  Factors that could cause or contribute
to such  differences  include,  but are not limited to, those discussed below as
well as those discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.

RECENT ORGANIZATION; HISTORY OF LOSSES; ANTICIPATED OPERATING LOSSES

   
   The  Company  was  organized  in  November  1995 to own,  operate and develop
assisted living facilities and has a limited operating  history.  The Company is
currently  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  IHS,  which  operated  14 of  the 18
facilities  currently  operated  by  the  Company  until  such  operations  were
transferred to the Company following its formation.  For the year ended December
31,  1995 and the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  the  Company had net income
(loss) of  $(3,320,000)  and  $1,039,000,  respectively.  On a pro forma  basis,
giving  effect to the  acquisition  of the Terrace  Gardens  facility,  which is
expected to close  simultaneous with this offering,  and a leasehold interest in
the Cabot Pointe facility in a sale/leaseback  transaction  which is expected to
close in  August  1996  (the  "Proposed  Acquisitions"),  the  acquisition  of a
leasehold  interest  in two  facilities  in July 1996,  the  acquisition  of the
Carrington  Pointe facility and the contribution by IHS to the Company's capital
of the  condominium  interests  in the  Treemont,  Vintage  and West Palm  Beach
facilities as if such  transactions  had occurred on January 1, 1995, as well as
the  related   adjustments  to  facility  rents,   depreciation   and  corporate
administrative  and general  expense,  the net income  (loss) for the year ended
December  31,  1995 and the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  would  have been
$(3,064,000) and $613,000, respectively. See "Pro Forma Financial Information."

   The  Company's  growth  strategy   focuses  on  the  rapid   acquisition  and
development of assisted living facilities. The Company currently expects to open
25 newly developed assisted living facilities in 1997, all of which are expected
to incur start-up losses for at least eight months after commencing  operations.
The Company  estimates  that it will take  approximately  six to 12 months for a
newly  developed  assisted  living  facility  to achieve a  stabilized  level of
occupancy (i.e., an occupancy level in excess of 90%). As a result,  the Company
expects to incur losses at least through the end of 1997.  The Company may incur
additional operating losses thereafter if it fails to achieve expected occupancy
rates at newly  acquired or developed  facilities or if expenses  related to the
development,  acquisition or operation of newly acquired or developed facilities
exceed  expectations.  There  can  be no  assurance  as to  when  the  Company's
operations  will  become  profitable,  if  at  all.  The  inability  to  achieve
profitability at a newly acquired or developed  facility on a timely basis could
have  an  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and
financial condition and the market price of the Common Stock. The success of the
Company's  future  operations is dependent to a large extent on expansion of the
Company's  operational base. There can be no assurance that the Company will not
experience  unforeseen  expenses,  difficulties,  complications and delays which
could  result  in  greater  than  anticipated   operating  losses  or  otherwise
materially  adversely  affect the Company's  business,  financial  condition and
results of operations.  See  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations,"  "--Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and "Business -- Business Strategy." 
    

DIFFICULTIES OF MANAGING RAPID GROWTH

   The  Company  expects the number of  facilities  it  operates  will  increase
substantially  as it pursues its rapid growth  strategy.  The Company's  success
will depend in large part on identifying  suitable  development  and acquisition
opportunities,   and  its  ability  to  pursue  such   opportunities,   complete
developments,  consummate  acquisitions,  create demand for its  facilities  and
effectively  operate its assisted living  facilities.  The Company  competes for
acquisition and expansion  opportunities with companies which have significantly
greater  financial  and  management  resources  than the Company.  The Company's
growth will place a significant burden on the Company's management and operating
personnel  and its  financial  resources.  The  Company's  ability to manage its
growth  effectively  will  require it to continue  to improve  its  operational,
financial

                                        6


<PAGE>
and management information systems and to continue to attract,  train, motivate,
manage and retain key employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to  implement  its rapid  growth  strategy  or that such  strategy  will
ultimately be profitable. If the Company is unable to implement its rapid growth
strategy or to manage its growth  effectively,  its business,  operating results
and financial  condition could be adversely  affected.  See "--  Difficulties of
Integrating  Acquisitions,"  "--  Limited  Development  Experience;  Development
Delays  and  Cost  Overruns,"  "--  Need for  Substantial  Additional  Capital,"
"--Dependence  on Senior  Management  and Skilled  Personnel,"  "--Competition,"
"Business -- Business  Strategy"  and  "Management  -- Directors  and  Executive
Officers."

DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATING ACQUISITIONS

   The  Company's   growth  strategy  depends   significantly   upon  the  rapid
acquisition  (through  purchase,  lease or  management  agreements)  of existing
assisted  living  facilities  and  other  properties  that  it  believes  it can
efficiently reposition as assisted living facilities.  The Company's strategy of
acquiring, developing or attaining agreements to manage 60 to 75 assisted living
facilities  per  year in each of the  next  three  years  is  likely  to place a
significant strain on the Company's management and financial  resources.  If the
Company is unsuccessful  in operating newly acquired  facilities and integrating
them into the Company's existing operations,  the Company's business,  operating
results and financial  condition  could be adversely  affected.  There can be no
assurance that the Company's  acquisition  of assisted  living  facilities  will
occur at the rate currently expected by the Company or that future  acquisitions
will be completed in a timely  manner,  if at all. The success of the  Company's
acquisitions  will be  determined by numerous  factors,  including the Company's
ability  to  identify  suitable  acquisition  candidates,  competition  for such
acquisitions,  the purchase price,  the financial  performance of the facilities
after  acquisition  and the ability of the Company to integrate  effectively the
operations of acquired  facilities.  Acquisitions  of  facilities  are typically
subject to a number of closing conditions,  including those regarding the status
of  title  to  real  property  included  in  the  acquisition,  the  results  of
environmental  investigations performed on the Company's behalf, the transfer of
applicable licenses or permits and the availability of appropriate financing. In
addition,  the Company may under certain circumstances  acquire  skilled-nursing
facilities  that for various  reasons it does not reposition as assisted  living
facilities or integrate into a continuing care retirement  community.  There can
be no assurance  that the Company will  successfully  dispose of or operate such
skilled-nursing  facilities.  Furthermore,  the  acquisition of skilled  nursing
facilities by the Company may exacerbate potential conflicts of interest between
the Company and IHS,  and could  expose  directors of the Company to claims that
duties to one or both  companies  have not been met.  Any failure by the Company
with  respect to the  repositioning,  integration  or  operation of any acquired
facilities  may  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business,
operating  results  and  financial  condition.  See  "--Potential  Conflicts  of
Interest with IHS,"  "--Difficulties  of Managing  Rapid  Growth,"  "Business --
Business Strategy" and "Certain Transactions."

LIMITED DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE; DEVELOPMENT DELAYS AND COST OVERRUNS

   The Company currently expects to open  approximately 25 to 35 newly developed
assisted living facilities per year over the next three years, and currently has
35 assisted  living  facilities  in various  early  stages of  development.  The
Company has very limited experience in developing new assisted living facilities
and its ability to achieve  this  objective  will be dependent to a great extent
upon the experience and abilities of the  third-party  developers with which the
Company has established  relationships.  To date, the Company has not opened any
newly  developed  assisted living  facilities,  and there can be no assurance it
will be successful in doing so. There can be no assurance  that the Company will
not suffer  delays in its  development  program,  which could slow the Company's
growth.  Achieving  the  Company's  plan to open  25 to 35 new  assisted  living
facilities  in each of the next three years is  dependent  on numerous  factors,
many of which the Company is unable to control or significantly influence, which
could adversely affect the Company's growth.  These factors include, but are not
limited to: (i) locating  sites for new  facilities  at acceptable  costs;  (ii)
obtaining proper zoning use permits,  development  plan approval,  authorization
and  licensing  from  governmental  units in a timely  manner;  (iii)  obtaining
adequate   financing  under  acceptable   terms;  (iv)  relying  on  third-party
architects  and  contractors  and  the  availability  and  costs  of  labor  and
construction  materials,  as well as weather; and (v) obtaining qualified staff.
Development of assisted living facilities can be delayed or precluded by various
zoning,  healthcare licensing and other applicable governmental  regulations and
restric-

                                       7


<PAGE>
   
tions. ILC may also incur construction costs that exceed original estimates, may
experience  competition in the search for suitable  development sites and may be
unable to arrange  financing  for  development.  The Company  intends to rely on
third-party developers to construct new assisted living facilities. There can be
no assurance that the Company will not experience  difficulties  in working with
developers,  project managers,  general contractors and  subcontractors,  any of
which  difficulties  could  result in increased  construction  costs and delays.
Furthermore,  project  development is subject to a number of contingencies  over
which the Company will have little control and that may adversely affect project
cost and completion  time,  including  shortages of, or the inability to obtain,
labor or materials, the inability of the general contractor or subcontractors to
perform under their contracts,  strikes,  adverse weather conditions and changes
in  applicable  laws or  regulations  or in the method of applying such laws and
regulations.  If the Company's  development  schedule is delayed,  the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition,  the Company  estimates that it will take  approximately  six to 12
months for a newly  developed  assisted  living facility to achieve a stabilized
level of occupancy (i.e., an occupancy level in excess of 90%) and that each new
facility will incur start-up  losses for at least eight months after  commencing
operations.  See  "--  Recent  Organization;   History  of  Losses;  Anticipated
Operating Losses,"  "--Difficulties of Managing Rapid Growth,"  "--Dependence on
Senior  Management  and Skilled  Personnel,"  "Business  -- Business  Strategy,"
"--Development and Acquisition" and "--Properties -- Development."
    

NEED FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CAPITAL

   To achieve its growth objectives, the Company will need to obtain substantial
additional  financial  resources  to  fund  its  development,  construction  and
acquisition  activities  and  anticipated  operating  losses.  Accordingly,  the
Company's  future  growth  will  depend  on its  ability  to  obtain  additional
financing  on  acceptable  terms.  The Company  does not expect any of its newly
developed assisted living facilities to generate positive cash flow for at least
eight months  after  commencing  operations.  As a result,  the Company  expects
negative  cash  flow for at least  the next  several  years as it  continues  to
develop and acquire assisted living  facilities.  There can be no assurance that
any newly  developed  facility  will  achieve a  stabilized  occupancy  rate and
resident mix that meets the Company's  expectations  or generates  positive cash
flow. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to be received by it
in this offering,  together with financing  commitments and  sale/leaseback  and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and its  anticipated  operating
losses for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will not be required to seek additional capital earlier. There are a
number of  circumstances  beyond the  Company's  control  that may result in the
Company's  financial  resources being  inadequate to meet its needs. The Company
expects from time to time to seek  additional  funds  through  public or private
financing, including equity financing. If additional funds are raised by issuing
equity securities, the Company's stockholders may experience dilution.  Further,
such equity  securities  may have rights,  preferences  or privileges  senior to
those of the Common  Stock.  To the extent the Company  finances its  activities
through debt or sale/leaseback  arrangements,  the Company may become subject to
certain  financial and other  covenants which may restrict its ability to pursue
its rapid growth strategy and to pay dividends on the Common Stock. There can be
no assurance  that adequate  equity,  debt or  sale/leaseback  financing will be
available as needed or on terms  acceptable to the Company.  A lack of available
funds may require the Company to delay,  scale back or eliminate  all or some of
its  development  and  acquisition  projects  and could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operations  -- Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  and  "Description  of Capital
Stock."

SUBSTANTIAL ANTICIPATED DEBT AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS

   The  Company  intends to  finance  the  development  and  acquisition  of its
assisted  living  facilities  through  mortgage   financing,   operating  leases
(including  sale/leaseback  financing)  and lines of  credit.  As a result,  the
Company  expects to incur  substantial  indebtedness  and debt related  payments
(including  payments  on  operating  leases) as the  Company  pursues its growth
strategy. The Company is presently a

                                        8


<PAGE>
   
party to long-term  operating leases for four of its residential  facilities and
has agreed to lease the Cabot Pointe facility  commencing in August 1996.  These
leases  require  minimum annual lease payments  aggregating  approximately  $2.4
million in 1996, and generally  provide for annual rent  increases.  The Company
expects  to  finance  25 of  its  assisted  living  facilities  currently  under
development  through  sale/leaseback  transactions  or mortgage  financing.  The
remaining ten facilities  currently under  development are expected to be leased
from the developer  which owns the  facilities.  As a result,  it is anticipated
that a substantial  portion of the  Company's  cash flow will be devoted to debt
service and lease  payments.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company  will
generate  sufficient  cash  flow from  operations  to cover  required  interest,
principal  and lease  payments.  If the Company  were  unable to meet  interest,
principal or lease payments,  or satisfy financial  covenants relating to, among
other things,  cash flow and debt coverage ratios,  it could be required to seek
renegotiation  of such payments or obtain  additional  equity or debt financing.
There can be no assurance that any such efforts would be successful or timely or
that the terms of any such financing or  refinancing  would be acceptable to the
Company.  Any payment or other default could cause the lender to foreclose  upon
the facilities securing such indebtedness or, in the case of an operating lease,
could result in termination of the lease,  with a consequent  loss of income and
asset value to the Company.  Furthermore,  to the extent the Company's  mortgage
and sale/leaseback agreements contain cross-default and  cross-collateralization
provisions,  a default by the  Company on one of its payment  obligations  could
adversely affect a significant number of the Company's properties. The Company's
leverage may also adversely affect the Company's  ability to respond to changing
business and economic  conditions or continue its  development  and  acquisition
program.  See  "--Need  for  Substantial   Additional  Capital,"   "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business -- Properties."
    

UNCERTAINTY OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS; DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATING THE
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS

   
   The Company has  entered  into  agreements  to acquire  two  assisted  living
facilities for an aggregate  purchase price of $14.9 million,  one of which will
be sold to and leased back from a real estate  investment  trust. The closing of
the Proposed Acquisitions are subject to certain customary conditions, including
conditions  regarding the status of title to real property being  acquired,  the
results of  environmental  investigations  performed on the Company's behalf and
the transfer of applicable  licenses and permits.  Although the Company  expects
the proposed  acquisition of the Cabot Pointe  facility and its subsequent  sale
and leaseback to be consummated  in August 1996 and the proposed  acquisition of
the Terrace Gardens facility to be consummated  simultaneous with the closing of
this offering,  there can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be
satisfied in a timely manner,  if at all. Any delay or failure to consummate any
of the  Proposed  Acquisitions  could  have an adverse  effect on the  Company's
operating results. The Proposed Acquisitions, together with the acquisition of a
leasehold  interest  in two  facilities  in July  1996,  will  result in a 23.5%
increase  in the number of  facilities,  and a 21.1%  increase  in the number of
units,  operated  by the  Company  at June 30,  1996.  Such an  increase  in the
Company's operations may strain the Company's available resources, and there can
be no assurance that the Company will successfully  assume  operational  control
over the newly acquired facilities or integrate them with the Company's existing
operations.  If the Company is  unsuccessful  in  operating  the newly  acquired
facilities and  integrating  them into the Company's  existing  operations,  the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected.  See  "--Difficulties  of Managing Rapid Growth,"  "--Difficulties  of
Integrating  Acquisitions,"  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition  and Results of Operations  -- Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  and
"Business -- Properties -- Proposed Acquisitions." 
    

DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL

   The Company depends,  and will continue to depend,  on the services of Robert
N. Elkins, M.D., its Chairman of the Board, Edward Komp, its President and Chief
Executive  Officer and other key management  staff.  The loss of the services of
Dr.  Elkins or Mr. Komp could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business,  operating results and financial condition.  Dr. Elkins is Chairman of
the  Board and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of IHS.  As a result,  he will not be
devoting his full time and efforts to the Company. See "--Potential Conflicts of
Interest  with IHS." The  Company  also  depends on its  ability to attract  and
retain  management   personnel  who  will  be  responsible  for  the  day-to-day
operations

                                        9


<PAGE>
of each of its  residential  facilities.  The  Company's  ability to attract and
retain  management  personnel for its facilities will be critical to the success
of the Company's rapid growth strategy, which contemplates acquiring, developing
or acquiring  agreements to manage 60 to 75 new assisted  living  facilities per
year for  each of the  next  three  years.  If the  Company  is  unable  to hire
qualified  management to operate its assisted living  facilities,  the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
See "Management."

STAFFING AND LABOR COSTS

   The Company  competes  with various  healthcare  providers,  including  other
assisted living providers, with respect to attracting and retaining qualified or
skilled  personnel.  The Company  also  depends on the  available  labor pool of
low-wage  employees.  A shortage of nurses or other trained personnel or general
inflationary  pressures may require the Company to enhance its wage and benefits
package in order to compete.  There can be no assurance that the Company's labor
costs  will  not  increase  or,  if  they  do,  that  they  can  be  matched  by
corresponding  increases in revenues.  Any significant failure by the Company to
attract and retain qualified  employees,  to control its labor costs or to match
increases in its labor expenses with  corresponding  increases in revenues could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,  operating results and
financial condition. See "Business -- Employees."

DEPENDENCE ON ATTRACTING SENIORS WITH SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO PAY

   The  Company  currently,  and for the  foreseeable  future,  expects  to rely
primarily on its residents'  ability to pay the Company's fees from their own or
familial  financial  resources.  Generally  only  seniors  with income or assets
meeting or exceeding  the  comparable  median in the region where the  Company's
assisted  living  facilities  are located are  expected to be able to afford the
Company's  fees.  Inflation or other  circumstances  that  adversely  affect the
ability  of  seniors  to pay for the  Company's  services  could have an adverse
effect on the  Company.  If the  Company  encounters  difficulty  in  attracting
seniors with adequate resources to pay for its services, its business, operating
results and financial  condition could be adversely  affected.  See "Business --
Services."

SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE OFFERING TO BENEFIT IHS

   
   IHS will receive  approximately  $52.6  million  (assuming an initial  public
offering price of $16.50 per share and after  deducting  estimated  underwriting
discounts)  for the  shares of Common  Stock to be sold by it in this  offering,
which  shares  were  received  by IHS  from  the  Company  in  January  1996  in
consideration  of IHS'  transfer to the Company of 14 of the 18 assisted  living
facilities currently operated by the Company. In addition,  the Company will use
a portion of the proceeds of this  offering to repay all amounts the Company has
borrowed  from  IHS,  which  at July  26,  1996  aggregated  $3.7  million.  See
"--Potential  Conflicts  of Interest  with IHS,"  "Company  History" and "Use of
Proceeds."

DEPENDENCE ON IHS

   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
or managed by IHS. To date,  IHS has  provided all  required  financial,  legal,
accounting, human resources and information systems services to the Company, and
has  satisfied all the Company's  capital  requirements  in excess of internally
generated funds. Subsequent to the closing of this offering, the Company will be
responsible for obtaining its own external  sources of financing and for its own
financial, legal, accounting,  human resources and information systems services.
The Company  believes that the cost of these  services  following  this offering
will  exceed  substantially  the  expense for these  services  allocated  to the
Company by IHS. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining  these  services.  IHS has agreed to provide  certain  accounting  and
information  systems  services to the Company  until it has relocated to Florida
and  implemented  its  own  MIS  and  accounting  systems,   which  the  Company
anticipates  will  occur  in the  fourth  quarter  of  1996.  See  "Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations,"
"Business -- Operations" and "Certain Transactions."
    
                                       10



<PAGE>
   
   The Company currently subleases The Shores and Cheyenne Place facilities from
IHS.  IHS  leases  these  facilities,  as  well  as 41  other  facilities,  from
Litchfield  Asset  Management  Corp.  ("LAM").  IHS is required to meet  certain
financial tests under its agreement with LAM and, to the extent IHS is unable to
meet such tests, LAM has the right to terminate IHS' lease of the 43 facilities,
which  would  result  in the  termination  of the  subleases.  The loss of these
facilities,  which accounted for approximately  39.0% and 29.0% of the Company's
revenues,  and  approximately  39.6% and 14.8% of the Company's  earnings before
loss from  impairment of long-lived  assets in the year ended  December 31, 1995
and the six months  ended  June 30,  1996,  respectively,  could have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  results of operations and financial
condition.  There can be no assurance  that IHS will be able to meet such tests.
    

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH IHS

   
   Robert  N.  Elkins,  M.D.,  the  Chairman  of the Board of the  Company,  and
Lawrence P. Cirka, a director of the Company,  are the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive  Officer and President,  Chief Operating Officer and a director,
respectively,  of IHS and,  as a  result,  may have  conflicts  of  interest  in
addressing  business  opportunities  and  strategies  with  respect to which the
Company's and IHS'  interests  differ.  The Company and IHS have not adopted any
formal  procedures  designed to assure that conflicts of interest will not occur
or to resolve any such  conflicts.  Dr.  Elkins is also a director and principal
stockholder of Community Care of America, Inc. ("CCA"), which operates long-term
care and  assisted  living  facilities,  and is a director of  Capstone  Capital
Corporation,  a real estate  investment  trust from which the Company expects to
receive financing.  IHS will continue to operate Alzheimer's units in certain of
its skilled nursing facilities, including the skilled nursing facilities located
in the  condominiums  in  which  the  Company's  Treemont  and West  Palm  Beach
facilities  are located.  The Company is prohibited  from including a segregated
and secured  Alzheimer's ward in its portion of these facilities.  In geographic
areas where the Company and either IHS or CCA  operates a facility,  ILC will be
competing with these  companies for residents for its  facilities.  In addition,
upon  completion of this offering IHS, Dr. Elkins and Mr. Cirka will continue to
beneficially own approximately  23.0% of the Company's  outstanding Common Stock
(approximately 20.7% if the Underwriters'  exercise their over-allotment  option
in full), and IHS will be the Company's largest  stockholder.  See "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity   and  Capital   Resources,"   "Business  --   Properties,"   "Certain
Transactions" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders." 
    

DISCRETIONARY USE OF PROCEEDS

   
   The Company will use  approximately  $12.2  million of the net proceeds  from
this  offering to finance the  purchase of the Terrace  Gardens  facility  and a
portion  of the  net  proceeds  to  repay  outstanding  loans  from  IHS,  which
aggregated  $3.7  million  at July 26,  1996.  The  Company  expects  to use the
remaining net proceeds (approximately $30.3 million,  assuming an initial public
offering price of $16.50 per share) to fund the  development  and acquisition of
additional  assisted  living  facilities  and for  general  corporate  purposes,
including  working capital.  The Company will have broad discretion in using the
unallocated net proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." 
    

POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

   Under various federal,  state and local  environmental  laws,  ordinances and
regulations,  a current or previous  owner or operator of real  property  may be
held  liable for the costs of removal or  remediation  of certain  hazardous  or
toxic substances,  including, without limitation,  asbestos-containing materials
or petroleum, that could be located on, in or under such property. Such laws and
regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of,
or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic  substances.  The
costs of any  required  remediation  or  removal  of these  substances  could be
substantial  and the  liability  of an owner or operator  as to any  property is
generally  not limited  under such laws and  regulations,  and could  exceed the
value of the property  and the  aggregate  assets of the owner or operator.  The
presence of these  substances or failure to remediate such  substances  properly
may also adversely  affect the owner's ability to sell or rent the property,  to
borrow using the property as collateral or, in the case of

                                11


<PAGE>
facilities  currently  being  developed,  to occupy and use the property.  Under
these laws and regulations,  an owner, operator or any entity which arranges for
the  disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  substances,  such as  asbestos-containing
materials,  at a disposal  site may also be liable for the costs of any required
remediation  or removal of the  hazardous  or toxic  substances  at the disposal
site.  In  connection  with the  ownership or operation of its  properties,  the
Company  could be liable  for  these  costs,  as well as  certain  other  costs,
including governmental fines and injuries to persons or properties. As a result,
the  presence,  with or without the Company's  knowledge,  of hazardous or toxic
substances at any property held, operated or developed by the Company could have
an adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  operating  results and financial
condition.  Further,  the Company cannot predict the nature,  scope or effect of
legislation or regulatory  requirements that could be imposed or how existing or
future laws or regulations  will be administered or interpreted  with respect to
activities  to which  they have not  previously  applied.  Compliance  with more
stringent laws or regulations,  as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of
regulatory agencies,  could require substantial  expenditures by the Company and
could adversely affect the results of operations of the Company.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

   Healthcare  is heavily  regulated at the federal,  state and local levels and
represents  an area of extensive  and frequent  regulatory  change.  A number of
legislative and regulatory  initiatives  relating to long-term care are proposed
or under study at both the federal and state levels that, if enacted or adopted,
could have an adverse  effect on the Company's  business and operating  results.
The Company  cannot predict  whether and to what extent any such  legislative or
regulatory  initiatives will be enacted or adopted,  and therefore cannot assess
what  effect any  current  or future  initiatives  would  have on the  Company's
business  and   operating   results.   Changes  in   applicable   laws  and  new
interpretations  of  existing  laws  can  significantly   affect  the  Company's
operations,  as well  as its  revenues  (particularly  those  from  governmental
sources) and expenses.  The Company's  facilities are subject to varying degrees
of  regulation  and  licensing  by local and state  health  and  social  service
agencies and other  regulatory  authorities  specific to their  location.  While
regulations and licensing  requirements  often vary  significantly from state to
state, they typically address, among other things: personnel education, training
and  records;   facility  services,   including  administration  of  medication,
assistance with  self-administration of medication and limited nursing services;
physical  plant   specifications;   furnishing  of  resident  units;   food  and
housekeeping  services;  emergency  evacuation  plans;  and resident  rights and
responsibilities.  In several states assisted  living  facilities also require a
certificate of need before the facility can be opened. In most states,  assisted
living  facilities also are subject to state or local building codes, fire codes
and food service licensure or certification requirements.  Like other healthcare
facilities,  assisted  living  facilities  are  subject  to  periodic  survey or
inspection by  governmental  authorities.  The Company's  success will depend in
part on its ability to satisfy such  regulations and requirements and to acquire
and maintain any  required  licenses.  The  Company's  operations  could also be
adversely  affected  by, among other  things,  regulatory  developments  such as
mandatory  increases in the scope and quality of care to be offered to residents
and revisions in licensing and certification standards. In addition, the Company
is subject to certain federal and state laws that regulate  relationships  among
providers of healthcare  services.  These laws include the Medicare and Medicaid
anti-kickback  provisions of the Social Security Act, which prohibit the payment
or receipt  of any  remuneration  by anyone in return  for,  or to  induce,  the
referral  of patients  for items or  services  that are paid for, in whole or in
part,  by Medicare or Medicaid.  A violation of these  provisions  may result in
civil or criminal  penalties for individuals or entities  and/or  exclusion from
participation in the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.  Federal,  state and local
governments occasionally conduct unannounced investigations,  audits and reviews
to determine  whether  violations of  applicable  rules and  regulations  exist.
Devoting  management and staff time and legal resources to such  investigations,
as well as any material  violation by the Company that is discovered in any such
investigation,  audit or review,  could have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's business,  operating results and financial condition. See "Business --
Business Strategy" and "--Governmental Regulation."

   The  Company  and its  activities  are  subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often required
for construction.  Severely restrictive  regulations could impair the ability of
the Company to open additional  residences at desired  locations or could result
in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's growth strategy and
results.  See "--Limited  Development  Experience;  Development  Delays and Cost
Overruns," "Business -- Business Strategy" and "--Development and Acquisition."

                                       12


<PAGE>
   Certain  states  provide  for  Medicaid  reimbursement  for  assisted  living
services  pursuant  to  Medicaid  Waiver  Programs   permitted  by  the  Federal
government. In the event the Company elects to provide services in states with a
Medicaid  Waiver  Program,  the Company may then elect to become  certified as a
Medicaid  provider in such states.  As a provider of services under the Medicaid
Waiver Program,  the Company will be subject to all of the  requirements of such
program,  including the fraud and abuse laws,  violations of which may result in
civil and criminal  penalties and exclusion  from further  participation  in the
Medicaid Waiver Program. The Company intends to comply with all applicable laws,
including  the fraud and abuse laws;  however,  there can be no  assurance  that
administrative  or judicial  interpretation of existing laws or regulations will
not in the future have a material  adverse  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations or financial condition. See "Business -- Governmental Regulation."

   Under the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act of 1990,  all  places of public
accommodation  are  required to meet  certain  federal  requirements  related to
access and use by disabled persons.  A number of additional  federal,  state and
local laws exist which also may require  modifications  to existing  and planned
properties to create access to the  properties  by disabled  persons.  While the
Company  believes that its  properties  are  substantially  in  compliance  with
present  requirements  or are exempt  therefrom,  if required  changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated basis
than  anticipated,  additional  costs would be incurred by the Company.  Further
legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect to access
by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be substantial.

COMPETITION

   The healthcare  industry is highly  competitive  and the Company expects that
the assisted  living segment in particular  will become more  competitive in the
future.  In general,  regulatory and other barriers to competitive  entry in the
assisted  living  industry  are  presently  not  substantial.  The Company  will
continue  to  face  competition  from  numerous  local,  regional  and  national
providers of assisted  living and long-term  care. The Company will compete with
skilled  nursing  facilities and acute care hospitals  primarily on the bases of
cost, quality of care, array of services provided and physician  referrals.  The
Company will also compete with companies providing  home-based  healthcare,  and
even  family  members,  based  on  those  factors  as  well  as the  reputation,
geographic  location,  physical appearance of facilities and family preferences.
Some of the  Company's  competitors  operate  on a  not-for-profit  basis  or as
charitable  organizations,  while others have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources than those of the Company.  However,  the Company anticipates that its
most significant  competition will come from other assisted living and long-term
care  facilities  within the same  geographic  area as the Company's  facilities
because management's  experience indicates that senior citizens frequently elect
to move into facilities near their homes.

   In implementing its growth strategy,  the Company expects to face competition
in its efforts to develop and acquire  assisted living  facilities.  Some of the
Company's present and potential  competitors are significantly  larger and have,
or may  obtain,  greater  financial  resources  than  those  of the  Company.  A
significant number of industry competitors have recently raised financing in the
public markets,  providing them with cash to develop and acquire assisted living
facilities and making it easier for them to use their equity and debt securities
as consideration for acquisitions.  Consequently, there can be no assurance that
the Company will not encounter  increased  competition  in the future that could
limit its ability to attract residents or expand its business and therefore have
a material  adverse  effect on its  business,  operating  results and  financial
condition.  Further,  if the  development  of  new  assisted  living  facilities
outpaces demand for those  facilities in the markets in which the Company has or
is developing facilities,  such markets may become saturated. Such an oversupply
of  facilities  could  cause the  Company  to  experience  decreased  occupancy,
depressed margins and lower profitability. See "Business -- Competition."

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENTAL REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS

   Currently,  the federal government does not provide any reimbursement for the
type of assisted  living services  offered by the Company,  although the federal
government does provide  reimbursement  for the services provided in the skilled
nursing beds located in the Company's  continuing care  retirement  communities.
Although  some  states  have  reimbursement  programs  in  place,  the  level of
reimbursement is generally

                                       13

<PAGE>
   
insufficient  to cover  the costs of the  Company's  assisted  living  services.
Currently all of the Company's  revenue is from private pay sources  except that
one of its managed facilities, which includes 60 skilled nursing units, received
approximately  23% of its  revenues  in the year ended  December  31,  1995 from
federal and state  reimbursement  programs.  Depending in part on the results of
the  Company's   acquisition   and  development   program,   net  revenues  from
governmental  reimbursement programs could increase from time to time. There can
be no  assurance  that the  Company  or the  facilities  which it  manages  will
continue  to  meet  the   requirements   for   participating   in   governmental
reimbursement  programs.  Furthermore,  governmental  reimbursement programs are
subject to statutory  and  regulatory  changes,  retroactive  rate  settlements,
administrative  rulings and  governmental  funding  restrictions,  some of which
could have a material adverse effect on the future rate of payment to facilities
operated by the Company. A substantial dependence on governmental  reimbursement
programs,  changes in the funding  levels of such programs or the failure of the
Company's  operations to qualify for  governmental  reimbursement  could have an
adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  operating  results  and  financial
condition.   See   "--Governmental   Regulation,"   "Business  --   Governmental
Regulation" and "--Operations -- Service Revenue Sources."
     

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION

   
   A  significant  number  of the 55  properties  currently  operated,  managed,
proposed to be acquired or under development are located in California and Texas
(15 and 13 facilities,  respectively).  The market value of these properties and
the income  generated from properties  managed or leased by the Company could be
negatively  affected by changes in local and regional economic conditions and by
acts  of  nature.  See  "Business  --  Properties."  In  addition,  the  Company
anticipates  that a  substantial  portion of its  business and  operations  will
ultimately be  concentrated  in several  states in the southern,  midwestern and
western  portion of the United  States,  and that  economic  conditions  in such
states may adversely  affect the Company's  business,  results of operations and
financial condition.
    

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

   The  Company's  business  entails an inherent  risk of  liability.  In recent
years, participants in the long-term care industry,  including the Company, have
become  subject to an  increasing  number of lawsuits  alleging  malpractice  or
related legal theories, many of which involve large claims and significant legal
costs.  The  Company  expects  that from time to time it will be subject to such
suits as a result of the nature of its business. The Company currently maintains
insurance policies in amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as it deems
appropriate,  based  on  the  nature  and  risks  of  its  business,  historical
experience  and industry  standards.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that
claims in excess of the  Company's  insurance  coverage or claims not covered by
the Company's  insurance coverage will not arise. A successful claim against the
Company not covered by, or in excess of, the  Company's  insurance  could have a
material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  operating  results  and  financial
condition.  Claims  against the Company,  regardless  of their merit or eventual
outcome,  may also have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  ability to
attract residents or expand its business and would require  management to devote
time to  matters  unrelated  to the  operation  of the  Company's  business.  In
addition,  the Company's insurance policies must be renewed annually,  and there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain liability  insurance
coverage  in the  future  or,  if  available,  that  such  coverage  will  be on
acceptable terms.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

   
   Sales of  substantial  amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market
after  this  offering  or the  perception  that such  sales  could  occur  could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the Company's  ability
to raise  equity.  Upon  completion  of this  offering,  the  Company  will have
8,061,000  shares  of  Common  Stock   outstanding   (9,040,500  shares  if  the
Underwriters'  over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the
6,530,000  shares  sold  in  this  offering  will  be  freely  tradable  without
restriction  or  limitation  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities  Act"),  except  for any shares  purchased  by  "affiliates"  of the
Company,  as such term is defined in Rule 144  promulgated  under the Securities
Act.  The  remaining  1,531,000  shares,  all of which will be owned by IHS, are
"restricted  securities"  within  the  meaning  of Rule 144.  The  Company,  its
directors and officers and IHS have agreed with the Underwriters

pursuant to "lock-up"  agreements not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares
of Common Stock,  any options or warrants to purchase  shares of Common Stock or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock for a
period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus  other than, in the case of
the Company,  grants of stock  options  pursuant to the  Company's  stock option
plans,  without the prior written consent of Smith Barney Inc. Smith Barney Inc.
may, in its sole discretion and at any time without prior notice, release all or
any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the  "lock-up"  agreements.
Beginning  in November  1997,  all of the shares  which will be held by IHS upon
completion  of this  offering  may be  sold  subject  to the  volume  and  other
limitations  of  Rule  144.  The  Securities   and  Exchange   Commission   (the
"Commission")  has proposed an amendment  to Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act
which, if adopted as currently proposed, would permit the sale of such 1,531,000
shares of Common  Stock held by IHS upon  expiration  of the  180-day  "lock-up"
period referred to above,  rather than beginning in January 1998, subject to the
volume and other limitations of Rule 144. All shares of Common Stock held by IHS
will  be  eligible  for  sale  to  certain  qualified  institutional  buyers  in
accordance  with Rule 144A under the Securities  Act.  Furthermore,  the Company
intends to register soon after the date of this Prospectus  1,209,150  shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance  pursuant to the Company's stock option plans
and agreements, under which options to purchase 1,084,500 shares of Common Stock
are currently outstanding.  The Company has granted IHS "piggyback" registration
rights with respect to the shares held by IHS upon  completion of this offering.
If the Company is required to include in a Company-initiated registration shares
held by IHS pursuant to the  exercise of its  "piggyback"  registration  rights,
such sales may have an adverse  effect on the Company's  ability to raise needed
capital.  See  "Management -- Stock  Options,"  "Description of Capital Stock --
Registration Rights" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
    

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

   
   Prior to this offering,  there has been no public market for the Common Stock
and there can be no assurance  that an active  trading market will develop or be
sustained  after this offering.  The initial public offering price of the Common
Stock  will  be  determined  by  negotiation  among  the  Company,  IHS  and the
Underwriters and may bear no relationship to the price at which the Common Stock
will  trade  after  completion  of  this  offering.  For  factors  that  will be
considered in determining the initial public offering price, see "Underwriting."
After completion of this offering, the market price of the Common Stock could be
subject to significant  fluctuations  in response to various factors and events,
including the liquidity of the market for the shares of Common Stock, variations
in the Company's operating results,  changes in earnings estimates by securities
analysts,  publicity  regarding the assisted  living industry or the Company and
new  statutes  or  regulations  or changes  in the  interpretation  of  existing
statutes or  regulations  affecting  the  healthcare  industry in general or the
assisted living industry in particular.  In addition, the stock market in recent
years has experienced  broad price and volume  fluctuations that often have been
unrelated to the operating  performance  of particular  companies.  These market
fluctuations  also may adversely affect the market price of the shares of Common
Stock.  In the past,  following  periods of  volatility in the market price of a
company's  securities,   securities  class  action  litigation  has  often  been
initiated  against such company.  Such  litigation  could result in  substantial
costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources,  which could have
a material  adverse effect upon the Company's  business,  operating  results and
financial condition. 
    

CONTROL BY CERTAIN PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

   Following  completion  of this  offering,  IHS and  the  Company's  executive
officers and directors as a group will beneficially own  approximately  27.8% of
the outstanding  Common Stock.  Currently,  IHS' Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive  Officer and President and Chief Operating  Officer are two of the six
members of the  Company's  Board of  Directors,  and IHS'  Chairman of the Board
serves  as  Chairman  of the  Board of the  Company.  As a  result,  IHS and the
Company's  executive  officers and directors as a group could have a significant
influence over, and may be able to control, the outcome of all matters submitted
to a vote of the Company's stockholders, including the election of directors and
significant corporate transactions.  See "--Potential Conflicts of Interest with
IHS" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

<PAGE>
EFFECT OF CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

   
   The Company's Restated  Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws,  as well as
Delaware corporate law, contain certain provisions that could have the effect of
making it more difficult for a third party to acquire,  or  discouraging a third
party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. These provisions could
limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of Common Stock.  Certain of these provisions allow the Company to issue,
without  stockholder  approval,  preferred  stock having voting rights senior to
those of the Common Stock.  Other provisions impose various procedural and other
requirements  that  could  make it more  difficult  for  stockholders  to effect
certain  corporate  actions.  In addition,  the Company's  Board of Directors is
divided  into three  classes,  each of which  serves for a staggered  three-year
term,  which may make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the
Board of Directors. As a Delaware corporation, the Company is subject to Section
203 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law which,  in general,  prevents an
"interested  stockholder"  (defined  generally as a person owning 15% or more of
the  corporation's  outstanding  voting  stock)  from  engaging  in a  "business
combination"  (as defined) for three years following the date such person became
an  interested   stockholder  unless  certain  conditions  are  satisfied.   See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock," "-- Certain Provisions of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws" and "--Delaware Anti-Takeover
Law." 
    

IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION

   
   The existing  stockholder of the Company  acquired its shares of Common Stock
at an average cost  substantially  below the initial  public  offering price set
forth on the cover  page of this  Prospectus.  Therefore,  purchasers  of Common
Stock in this  offering will  experience  immediate  and  substantial  dilution,
which, at the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share, will be
$5.76 per share. See "Dilution."

NO DIVIDENDS

   The Company  anticipates that future earnings will be retained by the Company
for  the  development  of  its  business.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not
anticipate  paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the forseeable  future.
See "Dividend Policy."

                               COMPANY HISTORY

GENERAL

   
   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
and managed by IHS.  Following the Company's  formation,  IHS transferred to the
Company  as a capital  contribution  its  ownership  interest  in the  Waterside
Retirement  Estates  ("Waterside") and The Homestead  facilities,  sublet to the
Company The Shores and Cheyenne Place facilities,  and leased to the Company the
assisted living and related  portions of the Treemont  Retirement  Community and
West Palm Beach  Retirement  facilities.  IHS also  transferred  to the  Company
agreements  to manage  nine  facilities  (one of which was  cancelled  by mutual
agreement in July 1996). The Company's  principal  executive offices are located
at IHS'  executive  offices at 10065 Red Run Boulevard,  Owings Mills,  Maryland
21117, and its telephone number is 410-998-8425. The Company intends to relocate
its executive  offices to Bonita Springs,  Florida in the third quarter of 1996.
    

ACQUISITION HISTORY

   In January 1989, IHS acquired a leasehold  interest in the Dallas at Treemont
facility,   a  skilled  nursing  facility  with  a  231  unit  assisted  living,
Alzheimer's  and adult day care  facility,  and IHS  subsequently  purchased the
Dallas at  Treemont  facility  in June 1994.  The  Company  leased the  assisted
living,  Alzheimer's and adult day care portions of this facility from IHS until
June 1, 1996, when the Company and IHS entered into a condominium  agreement for
the Dallas at Treemont facility.  In connection with the condominium  agreement,
the Company received as a capital contribution from IHS the condominium interest
in the assisted living, Alzheimer's and adult day care portion of the facility.

   
   In December 1993,  IHS acquired  Central Park Lodges,  Inc.,  which owned the
West Palm Beach skilled  nursing and assisted  living facility and a partnership
interest in the Waterside facility, a continuing care retirement community;  IHS
subsequently  acquired the remaining  partnership  interests in  Waterside.  The
Company received the Waterside  facility from IHS as a capital  contribution and
leased the  assisted  living  portion of the West Palm Beach  facility  from IHS
until  June 1,  1996,  when  the  Company  and IHS  entered  into a  condominium
agreement for the West Palm Beach  facility.  In connection with the condominium
agreement,  the  Company  received  as  a  capital  contribution  from  IHS  the
condominium interest in the assisted living portion of the facility.

   In March 1994,  IHS acquired The  Homestead,  a 50 unit  assisted  living and
adult day care facility for a total cost of approximately $1.3 million, adjusted
for certain accrued liabilities,  prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. Prior
to the purchase IHS had managed the facility  under a management  agreement with
the prior  owner.  The  Company  received  this  facility  from IHS as a capital
contribution.

   In August 1994, IHS entered into separate  facility  operating leases for the
260 unit Shores and 95 unit Cheyenne Place  facilities.  IHS has subleased these
assisted  living  facilities,  including  the related  equipment,  furniture and
fixtures,  to the Company.  These facilities are part of 43 facilities leased by
IHS from  LAM.  IHS is  required  to meet  certain  financial  tests  under  its
agreement with LAM and, to the extent IHS is unable to meet such tests,  LAM has
the right to terminate  IHS' lease of the 43  facilities,  which would result in
the  termination  of the  subleases.  There can be no assurance that IHS will be
able to meet such tests. See "Risk Factors -- Dependence on IHS."

   In December 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington Pointe, a 172 unit congregate care
and assisted  living  facility.  Prior to the  acquisition,  IHS had managed the
facility  under a  management  agreement  with the prior  owner.  Following  the
acquisition,  IHS  transferred  ownership  of the  facility  to the Company as a
capital contribution. 
    

   In January 1996, IHS acquired  Vintage Health Care Center,  a skilled nursing
and assisted and  independent  living  facility which it had previously  managed
from April 1995. The Company leased the assisted and independent living portions
of the facility from IHS until June 1, 1996, when the Company

                                       17


<PAGE>
and IHS entered into a condominium  agreement  for the  facility.  In connection
with the condominium  agreement,  the Company received as a capital contribution
from  IHS  the  condominium  interest  in the  assisted  living  portion  of the
facility.

   
   In July 1996 the Company  acquired a leasehold  interest in the  Homestead of
Garden  City  and  Homestead  Wichita  facilities  from one of its  third  party
developers.  In addition,  the Company has entered into definitive agreements to
acquire the Cabot Pointe and Terrace Gardens facilities. The Company anticipates
that it will  acquire  the  Cabot  Pointe  facility  in August  1996 with  funds
borrowed  from IHS,  and  thereafter  sell the  facility to, and lease back this
facility   from,  a  real  estate   investment   trust.   The  proceeds  of  the
sale/leaseback  transaction  will be used to repay amounts  borrowed from IHS to
fund the acquisition.  The Company  anticipates that it will acquire the Terrace
Gardens facility  simultaneous with the closing of this offering.  See "Business
- -- Properties." 
    

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

   The net  proceeds to the  Company  from the sale of the  3,100,000  shares of
Common Stock offered hereby, assuming an initial public offering price of $16.50
per share and after  deducting  estimated  underwriting  discounts  and offering
expenses, are estimated to be $46.2 million ($61.2 million if the over-allotment
option  granted by the Company to the  Underwriters  is exercised in full).  The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by IHS.

   
   The Company intends to use approximately $12.2 million of the net proceeds to
purchase the Terrace Gardens facility and a portion of the net proceeds to repay
outstanding  loans from IHS, which aggregated $3.7 million at July 26, 1996. The
remainder of the net  proceeds,  approximately  $30.3  million,  will be used to
finance development and acquisition of additional assisted living facilities and
for working capital and general corporate  purposes.  Pending such uses, the net
proceeds  will be  invested in  short-term,  interest-bearing  investment  grade
securities. See "Business -- Strategy."

   The outstanding indebtedness to be repaid was borrowed from IHS pursuant to a
$75 million  revolving  credit  facility to finance  the  Company's  development
activities.  Borrowings  under the facility bear interest at the rate of 14% per
annum  and are  due at the  earlier  of (i) the  closing  of an  initial  public
offering by ILC or (ii) June 30, 1998. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

   Although  an  integral  part of the  Company's  business  strategy  is growth
through  acquisitions  and the Company is currently in discussions  with several
acquisition  candidates,  the  Company  has  not  entered  into  any  definitive
agreements  respecting any  acquisitions  except as set forth under "Business --
Properties -- Proposed Acquisitions." 
    

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

   
   The Company  anticipates that future earnings will be retained by the Company
for  the  development  of  its  business.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not
anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable  future.
The  payment  of future  dividends  is  within  the  discretion  of the Board of
Directors  and will  depend  upon,  among other  things,  the  Company's  future
earnings,  if any, its capital requirements,  financial condition,  the terms of
the Company's debt  instruments  and lease  agreements  then in effect and other
relevant  factors.  Under  a cash  management  facility  provided  by  IHS,  the
operating cash balances of the Company's  facilities were generally  transferred
to a centralized account and applied to reduce additional  paid-in-capital.  See
"Risk Factors -- No  Dividends"  and Note 1 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.

of Common Stock, representing the number of shares which would be required to be
sold by the Company at the assumed  initial public  offering price of $16.50 per

the purchase price for the Terrace Gardens facility, as if such transactions had
occurred  on June 30,  1996,  and (iii) on a pro forma  basis as of such date as
adjusted to reflect the sale of the 3,100,000  shares of Common Stock offered by
the Company  hereby at an assumed  initial  public  offering price of $16.50 per

                                    DILUTION

   
   At June 30, 1996,  the pro forma net  tangible  book value of the Company was
approximately $52,531,000, or $9.13 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value
per share represents the total pro forma tangible assets of the Company, reduced
by its total pro forma  liabilities,  after giving effect to the  acquisition of
the Terrace Gardens  facility,  as if such  transaction had occurred on June 30,
1996, and divided by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including
795,047  shares of Common  Stock which the Company  would be required to sell at
the assumed  initial public offering price of $16.50 per share (net of estimated
underwriting  discounts) in order for the Company to pay the purchase  price for
the Terrace  Gardens  facility).  Dilution per share  represents  the difference
between the price per share to be paid by investors in this offering and the pro
forma net tangible  book value per share of Common Stock  immediately  after the
offering.  After  giving  effect to the sale of the  3,100,000  shares of Common
Stock offered by the Company hereby (at an assumed initial public offering price
of $16.50 per share) and the application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom
as described  under "Use of Proceeds,"  the pro forma net tangible book value of
the Common  Stock at June 30,  1996 would have been  $86,551,000,  or $10.74 per
share. This represents an immediate  increase in the pro forma net tangible book
value of $1.61 per share to existing  stockholders and an immediate  dilution of
$5.76 per share to purchasers in this offering,  as illustrated in the following
table.

                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

   
   The accompanying  unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared
based on the audited consolidated financial statements of ILC for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of ILC for
the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  as well  as the  following  financial
statements:

         1)  The audited financial statements of Terrace Gardens Health Care and
             Retirement Center ("Terrace  Gardens") as of and for the year ended
             December  31,  1995,  and the  unaudited  financial  statements  of
             Terrace  Gardens as of and for the six months  ended June 30, 1996.

         2)  The  audited  financial  statements  of Vintage  Health Care Center
             Retirement  Division  ("Vintage")  as of and  for  the  year  ended
             December 31, 1995, and the unaudited  twenty-nine  day period ended
             January 29, 1996.

         3)  The audited financial statements of Carrington Pointe as of and for
             the year ended December 31, 1995.

         4)  The audited financial  statements of Homestead of Garden City, L.C.
             ("Garden  City") as of and for the period from inception  (November
             1,  1995)  to  December  31,  1995,  and  the  unaudited  financial
             statements  of Garden City as of and for the six months  ended June
             30, 1996.

   The pro  forma  balance  sheet as of June 30,  1996  was  prepared  as if the
acquisition  of the  Terrace  Gardens  facility,  which  is  expected  to  close
simultaneous  with the  closing of this  offering,  and the  issuance of 795,047
shares of Common  Stock,  representing  the  number  of  shares  which  would be
required to be sold by the Company at the assumed  initial public offering price
of $16.50 per share (net of estimated  underwriting  discounts) in order for the
Company to pay the  purchase  price for the Terrace  Gardens  facility  had been
consummated  as of June 30,  1996.  No pro forma  adjustments  have been made to
reflect the acquisition of leasehold interests in the Cabot Pointe,  Garden City
and Homestead Wichita  facilities  because such acquisitions will have no effect
on the Company's  balance  sheet.  See "Company  History," "Use of Proceeds" and
"Business -- Properties."

   The pro forma  statements of operations  for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  were  prepared  as if the  Company's
interest  in the  following  facilities  had been  acquired  on January 1, 1995:
Vintage,  which was leased by the Company  commencing  January 29, 1996; Terrace
Gardens,  which the Company has agreed to acquire  simultaneous with the closing
of this offering;  Garden City, which was leased by the Company  commencing July
1, 1996; and Carrington  Pointe,  which the Company acquired  effective December
31, 1995. No pro forma  adjustments  have been made to reflect the operations of
the Homestead Wichita facility,  which was leased by the Company commencing July
17, 1996, or the Cabot Pointe facility,  which the Company has agreed to acquire
and thereafter  sell and leaseback in August 1996,  because such facilities were
not in operation at June 30, 1996.  Effective June 1, 1996, the Company received
as a capital  contribution  condominium  interests  in the  assisted  living and
related  portions of the Vintage,  Treemont and West Palm Beach facilities which
the  Company  had  previously  leased.  Accordingly,  the  pro  forma  financial
statements  are  adjusted  to  decrease  rent  expense   associated  with  these
facilities  and to  increase  depreciation  resulting  from the  ownership  of a
condominium  interest in these facilities.  Effective June 1, 1996, the rent for
The Shores and Cheyenne Place facilities,  which the Company subleases from IHS,
was  increased,  and the pro forma  statements  of  operations  are  adjusted to
reflect this increase in rent. Finally, the pro forma statements are adjusted to
reflect the estimated additional  corporate  administrative and general expenses
that would have been incurred if ILC had operated as a stand-alone  company. See
"Company History," "Use of Proceeds" and "Business -- Properties."

   To date IHS has provided all required  financial,  legal,  accounting,  human
resources and information systems services to the Company, and has satisfied all
the Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS
has charged the  Company a flat fee of 6% of total  revenue for these  services,
except that with respect to the Waterside  facility  prior to October 1995,  IHS
and the minority owner of the facility each charged the Company a fee of 4.5% of
monthly service fee revenue for these services.  The Company  estimates that the
cost  of  obtaining   these   services   from  third  parties  would  have  been
significantly  higher  than the fees  charged by IHS.  IHS has agreed to provide
certain  administrative  services  to the  Company  after  the  closing  of this
offering until the Company has relocated to Florida and  implemented its own MIS
and accounting  systems,  which the Company anticipates will occur in the fourth
quarter of 1996. See "Business -- Operations" and "Certain Transactions."

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
   
(a)   To reflect the purchase price of, and estimated  transaction costs related
      to, the  acquisition of the Terrace  Gardens  facility and the issuance of
      795,047  shares of Common Stock,  representing  the number of shares which
      would be required to be sold by the Company at the assumed  initial public
      offering  price  of  $16.50  per  share  (net  of  estimated  underwriting
      discounts)  in order for the  Company  to pay the  purchase  price for the
      Terrace  Gardens  facility,  and to eliminate  the assets and  liabilities
      retained  by  the  seller.   See   "Business  --  Properties  --  Proposed
      Acquisitions."

(b)   To  reflect  depreciation  and  amortization  on the new cost  bases;  the
      reduction of rent resulting from the capital  contribution  of condominium
      interests in the Treemont,  West Palm Beach and Vintage facilities by IHS;
      and  the  increase  in rent  related  to The  Shores  and  Cheyenne  Place
      facilities.  The  Company  assumed  a 40 year  life  for  the  condominium
      interests.

(c)   To reflect  management's  estimate that  corporate pro forma  consolidated
      administrative  and general  expenses  would have been  $3,895,000 for the
      year ended  December 31, 1995 and $1,948,000 for the six months ended June
      30,  1996  if the  Company  had  operated  without  the  benefit  of  IHS'
      management services.  This adjustment is based on Company budgets and does
      not include any  additional  corporate  expenses  which may be incurred in
      implementing the Company's future growth strategy.

(d)   To reflect the impact of the  Company's new basis in the assets of Terrace
      Gardens and the elimination of amortization of deferred financing fees and
      interest  expense on debt not assumed.  The Company assumed a 40 year life
      for building and improvements and a 10 year life for equipment.

(e)   To reflect elimination of Vintage's interest expense on debt not assumed.

(f)   To  reflect  the  impact  of the  Company's  new  basis in the  assets  of
      Carrington  Pointe.  The Company  assumed a 40 year life for  building and
      improvements and a 10 year life for equipment.

(g)   To reflect  the impact of the lease  agreement  between  the  Company  and
      Garden City.

(h)   To  adjust   consolidated  income  tax  expense  for  the  effect  of  the
      adjustments above.

(2)   In 1995, the Company implemented  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's
      Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121 in  connection  with
      IHS'  implementation  thereof.  Through evaluation of the recent financial
      performance and a recent  appraisal of one of its facilities,  the Company
      estimated the fair value of this facility and determined that the carrying
      value of certain long-lived  assets,  including goodwill and buildings and
      improvements,  exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying value was
      written off and is included in the statement of  operations  for 1995 as a
      loss from impairment of long-lived  assets.  See "Management's  Discussion
      and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with
"Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements
and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus
contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that
involve  risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company's  actual  results could differ
materially.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not  limited  to,  those  discussed  in "Risk  Factors" as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.

OVERVIEW
   
   The Company  currently  operates 18 assisted  living and other senior housing
facilities  containing 1,777 units in seven states.  The 1,777 units operated by
the Company consist of 1,152 assisted living units  (including 162 units devoted
to Alzheimer's and dementia care), 544 independent  living units for persons who
require occasional assistance with the activities of daily living and 81 skilled
nursing  units.  The  Company is  pursuing a strategy  of rapid  growth  through
development  and  acquisition,   and  intends  to  acquire,  develop  or  obtain
agreements to manage  approximately 60 to 75 assisted living facilities per year
in each of the next three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is  currently
developing  35 assisted  living  facilities,  of which 25 are  scheduled to open
during 1997, has entered into agreements to acquire one facility  containing 258
units simultaneous with the closing of this offering and a leasehold interest in
one facility  containing  35 units in August 1996,  and is  evaluating  numerous
additional acquisition  opportunities.  All of ILC's revenues from its owned and
leased  facilities  in 1995 and the first six months of 1996 were  derived  from
private pay sources.  The Company's  historical  results of  operations  are not
necessarily  indicative of the Company's future financial performance because of
the  Company's  prior  operation  as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of IHS and its
strategy to significantly expand its operating base over the next three years.
    
   To achieve its growth objectives,  the Company will need to obtain sufficient
financial  resources  to fund  its  development,  construction  and  acquisition
activities and anticipated operating losses.  Accordingly,  the Company's future
growth will depend on its ability to obtain  additional  financing on acceptable
terms.  The Company  expects  negative  cash flow for at least the next  several
years as it  continues  to  develop  and  acquire  assisted  living  facilities,
primarily  as a result of the  development  and opening of 25 to 35 new assisted
living  facilities  in each of the next three  years.  There can be no assurance
that any newly developed  facility will achieve a stabilized  occupancy rate and
resident mix that meets the Company's  expectations  or generates  positive cash
flow. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to be received by it
in this offering,  together with financing  commitments and  sale/leaseback  and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and its  anticipated  operating
losses for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will not be required to seek additional  capital earlier.  See "Risk
Factors  -- Need for  Substantial  Additional  Capital"  and "--  Liquidity  and
Capital Resources."

   The  Company  intends to  finance  the  development  and  acquisition  of its
assisted  living  facilities  through  mortgage   financing,   operating  leases
(including  sale/leaseback  financing)  and lines of  credit.  As a result,  the
Company  expects to incur  substantial  indebtedness  and debt related  payments
(including  payments  on  operating  leases) as the  Company  pursues its growth
strategy.  Consequently,  the Company  anticipates that a substantial portion of
the  Company's  cash flow will be devoted to debt  service  and lease  payments.
There can be no assurance  that the Company will generate  sufficient  cash flow
from operations to cover required  interest,  principal and lease payments.  The
Company's leverage may also adversely affect the Company's ability to respond to
changing  business  and economic  conditions  or continue  its  development  and
acquisition program. See "Risk Factors -- Substantial Anticipated Debt and Lease
Obligations."
   
   The Company derives its revenues from two primary sources:  (i) resident fees
for the delivery of assisted living  services and (ii)  management  services and
other income,  primarily for  management of facilities  owned by third  parties.
Historically,  most of the  Company's  operating  revenue has come from resident
fees,  which in 1995 and the  first  half of 1996  comprised  93.0%  and  93.6%,
respectively,  of total  revenues.  Resident fees  typically are paid monthly by
residents, their families or other responsible parties.

                                       26

<PAGE>
Resident fees include revenue derived from basic care, entrance fees, healthcare
services provided by the Company,  Alzheimer's care and other sources.  Entrance
fees are one-time fees generally payable by a resident upon admission. Residents
who require  personal care in excess of services  provided  under the basic care
program pay additional fees. Management services and other income, which in 1995
and  the  first  half  of  1996  accounted  for the  remaining  7.0%  and  6.4%,
respectively,  of revenues,  consists principally of management fees. Management
fees are generally in the range of four to five percent of a managed  facility's
total  operating  revenues.  Resident fees and management fees are recognized as
revenues when services are provided.
    
   The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following  categories:
(i) facility operating expenses,  which include labor, food, marketing and other
direct facility expenses;  (ii) facility  development and pre-opening  expenses,
which include  non-capitalized  development  expenses and pre-opening  labor and
marketing expenses;  (iii) corporate  administrative and general expenses, which
primarily  includes  headquarters and regional staff expenses and other overhead
costs;  and (iv)  depreciation and  amortization.  In anticipation of its growth
plans, the Company intends to increase  significantly  its corporate  management
and staff in the 12 months following this offering.

   
   From its inception in November 1995 through the present, the Company has been
operated as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc. To
date IHS has provided all required financial, legal, accounting, human resources
and  information  systems  services to the Company,  and has  satisfied  all the
Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS has
charged the Company a flat fee of 6% of total revenue for these services, except
that with respect to the Waterside  facility  prior to October 1995, IHS and the
minority owner of the facility each charged ILC a fee of 4.5% of monthly service
fee revenue for these services. The Company estimates that the cost of obtaining
these services from third parties would have been significantly  higher than the
fee charged by IHS. IHS has agreed to provide certain administrative services to
the Company after the closing of this  offering  until the Company has relocated
to Florida and implemented its own MIS and accounting systems, which the Company
anticipates  will  occur  in the  fourth  quarter  of  1996.  See  "Business  --
Operations" and "Certain Transactions."

   The Company believes that for the foreseeable  future the greatest portion of
its  revenue  growth  will  be  from  the  development  and  acquisition  of new
facilities. The Company generated 100% of its revenues from its owned and leased
facilities  from  private  pay  sources  during 1995 and the first six months of
1996.  However,  depending in part on the results of future  acquisitions,  this
percentage  could decrease from time to time. The Company believes that, for the
foreseeable  future,  the level of governmental  reimbursement  for its services
that will be available to its residents who receive such  reimbursement  will be
insufficient  to cover the costs of  delivering  the level of  service  that the
Company  currently  provides.  As a result,  the Company  currently  and for the
foreseeable  future expects to rely  primarily on its residents'  ability to pay
the Company's charges from their own familial financial resources.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

   Revenues  increased  from  $8.0  million  in 1995 to $11.3  million  in 1996,
representing  a 40.9%  increase.  Substantially  all of the increase in revenues
resulted from the acquisition of the Carrington  Pointe facility on December 31,
1995 and the  leasing of the  Vintage  facility  on January  29,  1996.  Average
occupancy of the  Company's  owned and leased  facilities  during the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was 94.4% as compared to 88.1%  during the six months  ended
June 30, 1995.  Management services and other revenue increased from $547,000 in
1995 to $727,000 in 1996,  representing a 32.9%  increase,  primarily due to the
addition of four managed  facilities  subsequent  to June 30, 1995 and increased
other revenue at its existing owned and leased facilities.

   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $5.6  million  in 1995 to $7.1
million  in  1996,  representing  a  28.0%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase  resulted  from the  addition  of the  Carrington  Pointe  and  Vintage
facilities.  Facility  operations  expense as a percentage of revenues decreased
from 69.5% in 1995 to 63.2% in 1996 due to the higher  margins of the Carrington
Pointe  facility,  as  well as  improved  operating  results  at  facilities  in
operation in both periods.

   Facility  rents  increased from $1.2 million in 1995 to $1.3 million in 1996,
representing an 7.7% increase.  Substantially  all of the increase resulted from
the leasing of the Vintage  facility  commencing  January  29,  1996,  partially
offset by a reduction in rent as a result of the  contribution to the Company of
condominium interests in the Treemont, Vintage and West Palm Beach facilities on
June 1, 1996.  Facility rents as a percentage of revenue decreased from 15.2% in
1995 to 11.6% in 1996 due to the higher  revenue base of the  Carrington  Pointe
facility, which is an owned facility.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $499,000 in 1995
to $678,000 in 1996, an increase of 35.9%.  Substantially all of the increase is
due to the addition of the Carrington Pointe and Vintage  facilities.  Corporate
administrative  and general  expense as a percentage of revenue  decreased  from
6.2% in 1995 to 6.0% in 1996. The Company's facilities were charged a management
fee of 6% of total  revenues  by IHS,  except  that prior to October  1995,  the
Company's  Waterside  facility was charged a  management  fee of 4.5% of monthly
service fee revenue by each of IHS and the minority  partner (whose interest was
subsequently  acquired by IHS in October  1995).  The reason for the decrease in
corporate  administrative  and general  expense as a percentage of revenues from
1995 to 1996 is that in 1996 the  Company  paid a fee of 6.0% of total  revenues
with  respect to the  Waterside  facility  compared  to a fee of 9.0% of monthly
service  revenues  in the  comparable  period  in  1995.  See Note 7 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from $206,000 in 1995 to
$480,000 in 1996,  representing  a 133.1%  increase.  Of the $274,000  increase,
$140,000  resulted  from the  addition  of the  Carrington  Pointe  facility  on
December 31, 1995,  $70,000  resulted from a write-off of software  costs in the
first quarter of 1996,  $57,000  resulted from  depreciation  of the condominium
interests in the Treemont,  Vintage and West Palm Beach facilities acquired June
1, 1996 and the remaining $7,000 resulted from depreciation of routine additions
of $35,000  partially  offset by a $28,000  reduction in depreciation  resulting
from the write-down of excess carrying value related to the Waterside  facility.
Depreciation and amortization  expense as a percentage of revenue increased from
2.6% in 1995 to 4.2% in 1996 due to the above mentioned reasons.

   Earnings  before income taxes  increased  $1,168,000 from $522,000 in 1995 to
$1,690,000 in 1996,  representing a 223.4%  increase.  This was primarily due to
the acquisition of the Carrington  Pointe and Vintage  facilities  subsequent to
June 30, 1995, as well as improved  operating results at facilities in operation
in both periods.
    
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

   Revenues  increased  from  $11.6  million  in 1994 to $16.3  million in 1995,
representing  a 39.7%  increase.  Substantially  all of the increase in revenues
resulted from the lease of The Shores and Cheyenne Place  facilities  commencing
August 31,  1994 and the  addition of The  Homestead  facility on April 1, 1994.
Average  occupancy of the Company's owned and leased  facilities during the year
ended  December  31, 1995 was 90.9% as  compared to 79.7%  during the year ended
December 31, 1994. Management

                                       28

<PAGE>
services and other  revenue  increased  from $739,000 in 1994 to $1.1 million in
1995,  representing  a 55.1%  increase,  primarily  due to the addition of three
managed facilities in 1995 and increased other revenue at its existing owned and
leased facilities.

   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $8.3  million in 1994 to $11.2
million  in  1995,  representing  a  36.2%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase  in  facility  operations  expense  resulted  from the  addition of the
Cheyenne Place,  The Homestead and The Shores  facilities.  Facility  operations
expense as a percentage of revenue  decreased  from 70.8% of revenues in 1994 to
69.1% of revenues in 1995 due to the improved  operating  results in 1995 of the
two facilities leased and the one facility acquired in 1994.

   Facility  rents  increased from $1.5 million in 1994 to $2.4 million in 1995,
representing a 65.8% increase.  The increase in rent expense primarily  resulted
from the two leases  entered into in 1994.  Facility  rents as a  percentage  of
revenues  increased  from 12.6% in 1994 to 14.9% in 1995 due to the lease of The
Shores and Cheyenne Place facilities in 1994.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $725,000 in 1994
to $1.0 million in 1995, representing a 38.6% increase. Substantially all of the
increase in  corporate  administrative  and general  expense  resulted  from the
addition  of the  Cheyenne  Place,  The  Homestead  and The  Shores  facilities.
Corporate  administrative  and  general  expenses  as a  percentage  of revenues
remained constant in both periods at 6.2% of revenues.

   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from $369,000 in 1994 to
$414,000 in 1995,  representing a 12.4%  increase.  The increase in depreciation
and amortization  expense primarily  resulted from the addition of The Homestead
facility and routine capital  additions at other  facilities.  Depreciation  and
amortization  decreased as a percentage  of revenue from 3.2% to 2.6% due to the
increase in revenue from the two facilities leased in 1994.
   
   Loss on Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets.  In 1995,  the Company  implemented
Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board's  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  121 in  connection  with IHS'  implementation  thereof.  Through
evaluation of the recent  financial  performance  and a recent  appraisal of its
Waterside  facility,  the Company  estimated the fair value of this facility and
determined  that the  carrying  value of certain  long-lived  assets,  including
goodwill and buildings and  improvements,  exceeded their fair value. The excess
carrying value of $5,126,000 was written off and is included in the statement of
operations  for 1995 as a loss on impairment of long-lived  assets.  See Notes 1
and 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
    
   Earnings  (loss) before income taxes  decreased  from earnings of $830,000 in
1994 to loss of $3,949,000 in 1995,  representing a decrease of 575.7%. This was
primarily due to improved  operating  results at facilities in operation in both
periods and  facilities  acquired  subsequent to December 31, 1994 offset by the
loss on impairment of long-lived assets.
   
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
    
   Revenues  increased  from  $5.2  million  in 1993 to $11.6  million  in 1994,
representing  a  122.2%  increase.  The  increase  primarily  resulted  from the
addition of the Waterside and West Palm Beach facilities on December 1, 1993 and
The Homestead  facility on April 1, 1994,  and the leasing of the Cheyenne Place
and The Shores  facilities  on August 31,  1994.  Management  services and other
revenue  increased  from  $231,000 in 1993 to $739,000 in 1994,  representing  a
220.4%  increase,  primarily due to one additional  managed facility in 1994 and
increased other revenue at its existing owned and leased facilities.
   
   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $3.5  million  in 1993 to $8.3
million in 1994, representing a 138.9% increase. The increase primarily resulted
from the addition of the Cheyenne Place,  The Homestead,  The Shores,  Waterside
and West Palm Beach facilities.  Facility  operations expense as a percentage of
revenues  increased  from  66.0% in 1993 to  70.8% in 1994 due to the  increased
operating expenses incurred to integrate the five new facilities.
    
   Facility  rents  increased  from  $856,000  in 1993 to $1.5  million in 1994,
representing  an increase of 71.3%.  The increase  primarily  resulted  from the
lease of the Cheyenne Place and The Shores facilities in 1994. Facility rents as
a percentage of total  revenues  decreased  from 16.3% in 1993 to 12.6% in 1994,
primarily as a result of the addition of The Homestead and Waterside facilities,
which are owned facilities.

                                       29

<PAGE>
   
   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $315,000 in 1993
to $725,000 in 1994,  representing an increase of 130.7%. The increase primarily
resulted from the addition of the Cheyenne  Place,  The  Homestead,  The Shores,
Waterside and West Palm Beach facilities.  Corporate  administrative and general
expense as a percentage of revenue  increased from 6.0% in 1993 to 6.2% in 1994.
The increase  primarily  resulted from Waterside,  which had a higher management
fee than the other facilities,  being an owned facility for all of 1994 but only
one month of 1993.
    
   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from  $24,000 in 1993 to
$369,000 in 1994,  representing  a 1,466.8%  increase.  The  increase  primarily
resulted  from the  addition  of The  Homestead,  Waterside  and West Palm Beach
facilities.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense as a percentage of revenue
increased from 0.4% to 3.2% due to the addition of these three new facilities.

   Earnings  before income taxes  increased from $590,000 in 1993 to $830,000 in
1994,  representing  a 40.6%  increase.  This was  primarily  due to  additional
pre-tax income generated at facilities acquired subsequent to December 31, 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
   
   To date the Company has financed its  operations  through cash  contributions
and loans from IHS and cash from operations.

   At June 30, 1996, the Company had a working  capital  deficit of $1.3 million
compared to a deficit of $315,000 at December 31, 1995.

   The Company has  obtained a  commitment  (the  "Financing  Commitment")  from
Health Care Property Investors,  Inc. ("HCPI"),  a real estate investment trust,
to make  available to ILC up to $100 million to develop,  construct  and acquire
facilities.  No less than $40 million is to be  invested in existing  facilities
("Existing   Facilities")   through   purchase   and  lease  or   sale/leaseback
transactions.  Remaining  funds  (up to $60  million)  may  be  invested  in new
development  projects  ("New  Facilities").  The Company  will  develop each New
Facility pursuant to a separate  development  agreement with HCPI and will lease
each New  Facility  and  financed  Existing  Facility  from HCPI  pursuant  to a
separate lease agreement.  Each  acquisition,  development,  lease and ancillary
agreement   executed   pursuant  to  the  Financing   Commitment   will  contain
representations   and  warranties,   indemnities,   affirmative   covenants  and
conditions  precedent  customary for real estate investment trust  transactions.
HCPI's funding of New Facilities is contingent upon the Company's  completion of
an initial public  offering  which results in the Company  having  stockholders'
equity of not less than $75 million. A $200,000 deposit (the "Expense Deposit"),
to ensure the payment of HCPI's expenses in the event transactions  contemplated
pursuant  to the  Financing  Commitment  are not  completed,  was paid  upon the
Company's  execution  of the  Financing  Commitment.  The  Financing  Commitment
expires on June 30, 1997.

   Each development agreement executed pursuant to the Financing Commitment will
require the Company,  as  developer,  to arrange,  coordinate  and carry out all
services  necessary to develop each New Facility.  The Maximum Cost (as defined)
based on an appraisal of Fair Market Value (as defined) and a development budget
for each  facility  will be  approved by HCPI and  included  in the  development
agreement.  Total Construction Cost (as defined) will equal land cost plus total
actual  construction  costs,  one percent of Maximum Cost  (accrued as a cost by
HCPI),  all legal costs and fees  (including  in-house legal costs)  incurred in
connection with the project, a construction  administration fee to be accrued as
a cost by HCPI equal to $1,550 per month (subject to reduction) and an allowance
for HCPI's cost of money at 1.5% over the Bank of New York prime rate.  The cost
of overruns, if any, including HCPI's carrying cost on overruns,  are to be paid
by the Company.  HCPI will not be required to pay a Total  Construction  Cost in
excess of Maximum  Cost.  The Company will  guarantee  the  completion  of a New
Facility  within 12 months and will  guarantee to make all payments in excess of
Maximum  Cost to  complete  the  facility.  The Company may include in the Total
Construction Cost the amount of any actual  development fee paid to an unrelated
developer, up to a maximum of 5% of Maximum Cost.

   HCPI will pay fair  market  value,  based on an  appraisal,  to  purchase  an
Existing  Facility.  All leases will be "triple net" (i.e.,  where the lessee is
obligated  to pay, in  addition to rent,  all taxes,  repairs and  insurance  in
respect of the  facility) and HCPI will have the right to a higher lease rate on
facilities

                                       30

<PAGE>
located in states that tax real estate investment trust income. The primary term
for each lease will be 15 years with two 10 year renewal  options at fair market
value lease rates. All leases covering  facilities  financed under the Financing
Commitment must be renewed together as a group and not individually.

   The base lease rate for Existing Facility leases executed under the Financing
Commitment  will equal 325 basis  points  above the 10-year  Treasury  Note rate
published  in The  Wall  Street  Journal  three  business  days  prior  to lease
commencement.  The base rent  under such  leases  will equal the base lease rate
multiplied by the Existing  Facility purchase price. The base lease rate for New
Facility leases will equal 350 basis points above the 10-year Treasury Note rate
published  in The Wall  Street  Journal  three  busi  ness  days  prior to lease
commencement.  The base rent under New Facility leases will equal the base lease
rate  multiplied  by the  lesser of Total  Construction  Cost or  Maximum  Cost.
Beginning  in the second year of the lease,  annual rent will be increased by an
amount equal to the annual change in the consumer price index  multiplied by the
prior year's total rent. In no event will the rent increase be less than the sum
of (a) the  additional  rent paid for the  previous  year  plus (b) one  hundred
percent of the facility's  Gross Revenues (as defined) in excess of Base Revenue
(as defined), up to but not exceeding an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the
prior year's total rent. In no event will the rent increase  represent more than
a 5% increase  over the prior year's  total rent.  In addition to the payment of
rent and the  Expense  Deposit,  the  Company is required to provide an annually
renewed  letter of credit for each financed  facility  equal to six months total
lease payments to secure acquisition, development and lease obligations (subject
to reduction to four months upon  completion of an initial public offering which
results  in the  Company  having  stockholders'  equity  of not  less  than  $75
million).  All leases under the Financing Commitment will be cross-defaulted and
cross-collateralized and all leases between HCPI and a subsidiary of the Company
will be  guaranteed  by the Company.  The Company will be obligated to reimburse
HCPI for certain  costs and expenses  incurred in connection  with  transactions
completed pursuant to the Financing  Commitment.  In addition,  a non-refundable
commitment fee, equal to one percent (1%) of the purchase price of each Existing
Facility,  will be due and  payable at the  closing of the  acquisition  of each
Existing Facility.

   The Company has also obtained a non-binding  term sheet from Capstone Capital
Corporation  ("Capstone")  relating to the  availability of up to $40 million in
financing through sale/leaseback transactions. An expense deposit of $100,000 is
payable by the Company  within one business day of the execution of a commitment
agreement  and a fee  equal to 1% of total  building  cost is  payable  upon the
initial draw on the commitment relating to each facility purchased. As proposed,
leases  executed  with  Capstone will have an initial term of 12 to 15 years and
three separate five year extension options. All leases funded under the proposed
commitment,  however,  will  have the  same  initial  term  and no lease  may be
extended  unless all leases  under the  commitment  are  extended.  Subject to a
minimum rate of 10%,  the initial  lease rate will be 350 basis points in excess
of the yield on U.S. Treasury bills with similar  maturities/terms.  Lease rates
during the first year of each  extended  period  will be based upon fair  market
rental values.  Lease rates will be adjusted annually (except for the first year
of each  renewal  period)  in an  amount  equal to the  positive  change  in the
consumer  price index;  provided,  however,  in no event will the change be less
than 2% or more than 5% of the previous year's lease payment.
    
   All leases under the proposed Capstone commitment will be cross-defaulted and
all leases  between  Capstone and a subsidiary of the Company will be guaranteed
by  the  Company.  Each  facility  lease  will  contain  minimum  rent  coverage
requirements and will require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth of $80
million  and  minimum  rent and  interest  coverage  ratios.  Each lease will be
"triple-net" and will grant the Company a right of first refusal to purchase the
facility  from  Capstone.  The Company  will  reimburse  Capstone  for all costs
incurred in connection with transactions completed under the proposed commitment
and up to  $2,000  per  year for  independent  third-party  inspections  of each
facility.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company will receive a financing
commitment  from  Capstone on these  terms,  on  different  terms or at all. Dr.
Elkins, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company,  is a director of
Capstone.

   Following  this  offering,  the  Company  will be  dependent  on  third-party
financing for its acquisition and development program.  Except for the financing
commitments   discussed  above,  the  Company  has  no  other  arrangements  for
financing. There can be no assurance that financing for the Company's acquisi-

                                       31

tion and  development  program will be  available  to the Company on  acceptable
terms or at all. Moreover, to the extent the Company acquires facilities that do
not  generate  positive  cash flow (after rent  expense  and/or  interest),  the
Company  may be  required to seek  additional  capital  for working  capital and
liquidity  purposes.  See  "Risk  Factors  -- Need  for  Substantial  Additional
Capital."
   
   The Company presently  anticipates that it will make capital  expenditures of
approximately  $3  million  in 1996  relating  to its  existing  facilities.  In
addition,  the Company will use approximately  $12.2 million of the net proceeds
of this offering to acquire the Terrace Gardens facility  simultaneous  with the
closing of this offering, and anticipates that it will make capital expenditures
of  approximately  $500,000 with respect to the Cabot Pointe and Terrace Gardens
facilities.  The  Company  anticipates  that it will  spend  approximately  $9.0
million in 1996 to purchase  land for the  development  of new  assisted  living
facilities.  The Company has provided two of its third-party developers lines of
credit aggregating $2.0 million. See "Business -- Properties."

   IHS  has  made  available  to the  Company  a $75  million  revolving  credit
facility.  Borrowings  under the facility  bear  interest at the rate of 14% per
annum.  All  outstanding  borrowings,  together  with  all  accrued  but  unpaid
interest,  are  due at the  earlier  of (i) the  closing  of an  initial  public
offering by ILC or (ii) June 30, 1998. At June 30, 1996 and July 26, 1996,  $3.4
million and $3.7 million,  respectively,  were outstanding  under this facility.
The Company  intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this  offering to repay
all amounts  outstanding under the facility.  See "Use of Proceeds."  Borrowings
under this facility were used to finance the Company's development activities.
    
   The Company  currently  estimates  that the net proceeds to be received by it
from this offering,  together with financing  commitments and sale/leaseback and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and  operations for the next 12
months.  There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that  the  Company  will not be
required  to seek  additional  capital  earlier.  Additional  financing  will be
necessary to enable the Company to respond to changing economic conditions or to
effect  further  expansion.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will
generate  sufficient  cash  flow  during  such time to fund its  future  working
capital,  rent, debt service  requirements or growth. In such event, the Company
would have to seek additional  financing through debt or equity offerings,  bank
borrowings,  sale/leaseback  transactions  or  otherwise,  and  there  can be no
assurance that such  financing will be available on acceptable  terms or at all.

                                   BUSINESS

OVERVIEW
   
   The Company provides  assisted living and related services to the private pay
elderly market. Assisted living facilities combine housing, personalized support
and healthcare services in a cost-effective,  non-institutional setting designed
to address the individual needs of the elderly who need regular  assistance with
activities  of daily  living,  such as eating,  bathing,  dressing  and personal
hygiene,  but who do not require the level of  healthcare  provided in a skilled
nursing facility.  The Company  currently  operates 18 assisted living and other
senior  housing  facilities  containing  1,777 units in seven states.  The 1,777
units operated by the Company consist of 1,152 assisted living units  (including
162 units devoted to Alzheimer's  and dementia  care),  544  independent  living
units for persons who require occasional assistance with the activities of daily
living and 81 skilled nursing units. The Company is pursuing a strategy of rapid
growth through development and acquisition,  and intends to acquire,  develop or
obtain  agreements to manage  approximately 60 to 75 assisted living  facilities
per year in each of the  next  three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is
currently developing 35 assisted living facilities, of which 25 are scheduled to
open during 1997, has entered into agreements to acquire one facility containing
258 units simultaneous with the closing of the offering and a leasehold interest
in one facility  containing 35 units in August 1996, and is evaluating  numerous
additional acquisition  opportunities.  All of ILC's revenues from its owned and
leased  facilities  in 1995 and the first six months of 1996 were  derived  from
private pay sources.
    
   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the  Company's  strategy to achieve  this goal are to: (i) provide  high-quality
healthcare  oriented  services;   (ii)  grow  rapidly  through  development  and
acquisition of additional assisted living facilities;  (iii) utilize a flexible,
cost-effective  approach for the development of new assisted living  facilities;
and (iv) target a broad segment of the private-pay population.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous  small   operators   whose  scope  of  services  vary  widely.   Annual
expenditures for assisted living services were estimated to be $10 to 12 billion
in 1995.  The Company  believes that factors  contributing  to the growth of the
assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S. population; (ii) the
increasing  affluence of the elderly and their  families;  (iii) the  decreasing
availability  of family care in the home;  (iv) consumer  preference for greater
independence and a less institutional  setting;  (v) the increasing  emphasis by
both federal and state governments and private insurers on containing  long-term
care costs;  and (vi) the reduced  availability of skilled nursing beds for less
medically intensive residents.  The Company believes that the foregoing factors,
combined with the  fragmented  nature of the industry and the  inexperience  and
lack of resources of many operators,  have created a significant opportunity for
ILC to become a leading  provider of  high-quality,  affordable  assisted living
services.

   The Company  believes  that its approach to the  development  of new assisted
living  facilities  differs  from  that of many  other  operators.  Unlike  many
assisted  living  operators,  the Company intends to rely primarily on a limited
number  of  third-party  developers,  rather  than  maintain  a  large  internal
development staff. ILC currently has relationships with three developers,  which
developers  are  responsible  for  32  of  the  35  facilities  currently  under
development  by the Company.  The Company has,  together with these  developers,
developed  three  flexible  and  expandable   prototype  building  designs.  The
flexibility  feature is expected  to allow the  facility's  assisted  living and
Alzheimer's bed allotment to be quickly and cost-effectively  reconfigured based
on changing market demand.  The  expandability  feature is expected to allow the
prototype buildings to be easily and cost-effectively expanded with little or no
disruption to current operations.  The Company believes its development approach
will offer many advantages, including better construction quality control, lower
architectural  and  engineering  fees, bulk purchasing of materials and fixtures
and faster development and construction schedules.

BACKGROUND

   Assisted  living  is  quickly  emerging  as an  important  component  in  the
continuum  of care within the  healthcare  delivery  system and can be viewed as
falling in the middle of the elder care  continuum,  with home-based care on one
end and skilled nursing  facilities and acute care hospitals on the other. It is
a

                                       33

<PAGE>



cost-effective  setting for the  elderly who do not require the higher  level of
medical  care   provided  by  skilled   nursing   facilities   but  cannot  live
independently because of physical frailties or cognitive  impairments.  Assisted
living facilities combine housing,  personalized support services and healthcare
in a  non-institutional  setting designed to address the individual needs of the
elderly who need regular assistance with certain activities of daily living.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous small  operators  whose scope of services vary widely from small "board
and  care"  facilities  (generally  12 or fewer  residents)  with  little  or no
services to large facilities offering a full array of personal care services. In
comparison  to the nursing home and other  healthcare  industries,  the assisted
living  industry  is  currently  subject to little  government  regulation.  The
Company expects  government  regulation to increase,  however,  as more assisted
living  facilities  begin to expand the type and amount of  healthcare  services
they offer and states continue to expand Medicaid  funding of assisted living as
a cost-effective alternative to skilled nursing facilities. The Company believes
that  because  of  increased   governmental   regulation  of  the  industry,   a
transformation  of the industry  from housing and personal care services to more
healthcare-oriented   services,  cost  containment  pressures,   the  growth  of
healthcare  networks and the inexperience and limited capital  resources of many
operators,  the  highly-fragmented  assisted living industry will consolidate in
the near future.  According to the U.S.  Health Care  Financing  Administration,
annual   expenditures   for  assisted  living  services  were  estimated  to  be
approximately  $10 to $12 billion in 1995.  Private pay services account for the
majority of payments;  however, in some states, Medicaid funds are available for
assisted  living,  although no funding is currently  available  from the federal
Medicare program.

   The Company  believes  that  assisted  living is one of the  fastest  growing
segments of elder care, benefiting from the following significant trends:

         Aging  Population.  The Company's  target market,  comprised of seniors
   aged  75 and  older,  is one of the  fastest  growing  segments  of the  U.S.
   population.  According to the U.S.  Bureau of the Census,  this population is
   expected  to  increase  28%  from   approximately   13  million  in  1990  to
   approximately  17 million by 2000, as compared to the total U.S.  population,
   which is expected to increase by  approximately  11% during the same  period.
   According to the U.S. General  Accounting Office, in 1993 more than 7 million
   people in the U.S. needed  assistance  with  activities of daily living,  and
   this  number is  expected  to double by 2020.  It is further  estimated  that
   approximately  57% of the  population  of  seniors  over  the  age of 85 need
   assistance  with  activities  of daily living and more than  one-half of such
   seniors develop Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.

         Increasing  Financial  Net  Worth.  As the ratio of  elderly in need of
   assistance  has  increased,  so too has the number of elderly  able to afford
   assisted living.  According to U.S. Bureau of the Census data, the median net
   worth of  families  in which  the head of the  family  is age 75 or older has
   increased from $55,178 in 1984 to $61,491 in 1988 to $76,541 in 1991.

         Changing  Family  Role.  Historically,  the family has been the primary
   provider of care to the  elderly.  The Company  believes,  however,  that the
   increased  percentage of women in the  workforce,  the growing  number of two
   income  families  and the  increased  mobility  of society are  reducing  the
   family's role as the traditional  caregiver for the elderly,  which will make
   it  necessary  for  many  of the  elderly  to look  outside  the  family  for
   assistance as they age.

         Consumer  Preference.  The Company  believes  that  assisted  living is
   increasingly  becoming the setting  preferred by  prospective  residents  and
   their  families  in which to care for the  elderly.  Assisted  living  offers
   residents  greater  independence  and  allows  them to "age  in  place"  in a
   residential  setting,  which the Company believes results in a higher quality
   of life than that  experienced in more  institutional  or clinical  settings,
   such as skilled nursing facilities.

         Cost-Containment  Pressures.  In response to rapidly rising  healthcare
   costs,   both    governmental   and   private-pay    sources   have   adopted
   cost-containment measures that have reduced admissions and encouraged reduced
   lengths of stays in hospitals and skilled  nursing  facilities.  As a result,
   hospitals are discharging  patients earlier and referring  seniors to skilled
   nursing facilities where the cost of

                                       34

<PAGE>
   providing care is lower, and skilled nursing facility  operators  continue to
   focus on  expanding  services to higher  acuity  patients.  As a result,  the
   supply of skilled  nursing  facility  beds is  increasingly  being  filled by
   patients with higher acuity needs paying higher fees,  leaving  little excess
   capacity for seniors needing a lower level of care. The Company believes that
   this trend creates a significant  opportunity for assisted living facilities,
   as states,  as well as long-term  care  insurance  companies and managed care
   companies,  are increasingly  focusing on assisted living as a cost-effective
   alternative  to skilled  nursing  facilities.  Based on  industry  data,  the
   average cost for assisted living facilities is approximately $24,000 per year
   as compared to an average cost of approximately  $35,000 per year for skilled
   nursing facilities.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the Company's strategy to achieve this goal are to:

         Provide  High-Quality,  Healthcare-Oriented  Services.  In  addition to
   providing a broad range of assistance with the activities of daily living and
   offering  special  care  programs to  residents  suffering  from  Alzheimer's
   disease or other  forms of  dementia,  the  Company  focuses  on meeting  the
   healthcare  needs of its  residents to the maximum  extent  permitted by law,
   thereby  enabling its residents to age in place.  As a result,  residents are
   generally  able to  remain  at ILC  facilities  until  they  develop  medical
   conditions  requiring  institutional care available only in a skilled nursing
   facility  or an acute care  hospital.  Where  allowed by law,  the  Company's
   assisted living facilities offer care to residents who are incontinent,  mild
   to  moderately  confused,  convalescing,   nonambulatory,   diabetic,  oxygen
   dependent  or  similarly  dependent.  All of the  Company's  assisted  living
   facilities  (excluding  its senior housing and  congregate  care  facilities)
   employ  licensed  nurses.  The Company  ensures that all its  facilities  are
   appropriately staffed to provide its residents with high-quality personalized
   care and services.

         Grow Rapidly Through  Development,  Acquisition and Facility Expansion.
   The  Company  intends to pursue  rapid  growth  over the next three  years to
   benefit from the  anticipated  increased  market  demand for assisted  living
   services  and the expected  industry  consolidation.  The Company  intends to
   acquire,  develop  or  obtain  agreements  to manage  approximately  60 to 75
   assisted  living  facilities  per year in each of the next three  years.  The
   Company is currently  developing 35 assisted living  facilities,  of which 25
   are  scheduled  to open in 1997.  Management  has  extensive  contacts in the
   senior  housing and  healthcare  industries,  and the  Company is  frequently
   presented with  opportunities  to acquire,  develop or manage assisted living
   facilities.  The Company expects that industry  consolidation  will result in
   increased future acquisition opportunities.  In addition, as demand increases
   in its existing markets,  the Company plans to grow by expanding the capacity
   of existing buildings.

         Utilize  Flexible,  Cost-Effective  Development  Approach.  The Company
   believes  that  its  development  approach  will  allow  it  to  quickly  and
   cost-effectively develop new assisted living facilities.  The Company intends
   to rely primarily on a limited number of third-party developers,  rather than
   maintain a large  internal  development  staff,  to develop  assisted  living
   facilities.  The Company currently has  relationships  with three developers,
   with which the Company has developed three flexible and expandable  prototype
   building  designs:  a 35 unit/40  bed pure  assisted  living  facility,  a 40
   unit/40  bed pure  Alzheimer's  facility  and an 80 unit/92  bed  combination
   assisted  living/Alzheimer's  facility.  Flexibility,  which  will  allow the
   Company to respond to changing  utilization  patterns and service needs,  and
   expandability,  which will allow the Company to  cost-effectively  respond to
   increased  market  demand,  are key features of the  prototype  designs.  The
   Company  believes  the  use  of  prototype  designs  and a  small  number  of
   developers will offer many advantages to the development  process,  including
   better  construction  quality control,  lower  architectural  and engineering
   fees,  bulk  purchasing of materials and fixtures at a lower cost, and faster
   development and construction schedules.

         Target Broad Segment of Private-Pay  Population.  The Company's  target
   markets are generally second or third tier cities or suburbs of major cities.
   The target population in these markets is private-pay seniors over the age of
   75 with annual incomes of at least $25,000. This mass-market

                                       35

<PAGE>
   approach  enables  the  Company to  evaluate a  multitude  of markets  and be
   selective in acquiring and developing  properties.  The Company believes this
   approach  allows  it  to  appeal  to  the  largest  segment  of  the  elderly
   population,  the middle to upper-middle  income group.  The Company  believes
   that by targeting this  population  segment,  it will be  well-positioned  to
   achieve and sustain high occupancy rates.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION

   The  Company  targets  areas  where  there  is a  need  for  assisted  living
facilities  based on demographics  and market studies.  In selecting  geographic
markets for potential expansion,  the Company utilizes individual market studies
which consider such factors as population,  income levels,  economic climate and
competitive  environment.  The Company generally seeks to select assisted-living
facility  locations that (a) are second or third tier cities or suburbs of major
cities,  (b) have residents who generally  enjoy mid-level  incomes  compared to
incomes generally realized in the region, (c) have a regulatory climate that the
Company  considers  favorable  toward  development  and (d) are  established and
economically  stable compared to newer,  faster-growing  areas.  The Company has
found that  locations  with these  characteristics  generally  have a  receptive
population  of seniors  who desire  and can afford the  services  offered in the
Company's assisted living facilities.

   Development.  The Company  currently  expects to open  approximately 25 to 35
newly developed  assisted  living  facilities per year in each of the next three
years.  The Company is  currently  pursuing the  development  of 35 new assisted
living  facilities,  of which 25 are  scheduled  to open in  1997.  The  Company
intends to rely primarily on a limited number of third-party developers,  rather
than maintain a large internal  development  staff,  to develop  assisted living
facilities,  and currently has relationships with three developers.  The Company
maintains control over the entire development process by retaining authority for
site  selection,   prototype  design,  pricing,   development  and  construction
schedules, and quality of workmanship. See "-- Properties -- Development."

   The principal  stages in the  development  process are (i) site selection and
contract  signing,  (ii)  zoning  and site plan  approval,  (iii)  architectural
planning and design and (iv) construction and licensure.  Once a market has been
identified,  site  selection and contract  signing  typically take three months.
Zoning and site plan approval  generally  take one to three months.  The Company
anticipates that facility  construction  will generally take six to nine months.
The Company's use of prototype facilities facilitates architectural planning and
design.  After a facility  receives a certificate  of occupancy and  appropriate
licenses,  residents  usually  begin  to  move  in  immediately.  The  Company's
experience  indicates  that new  facilities  typically  reach a stable  level of
occupancy  of over 90% within six to 12 months of  opening,  but there can be no
assurance  that these  results will be achieved in new  facilities.  The Company
anticipates  that the total  capitalized  cost to develop,  construct and open a
prototype  facility,  including land acquisition and construction costs, will be
approximately $72,000 per unit, although the cost of any particular facility may
vary considerably based on a variety of site-specific factors. See "Risk Factors
- -- Limited Development Experience; Development Delays and Cost Overruns."

   The Company is presented with land sites by independent brokers,  developers,
healthcare organizations and financial institutions.  The third-party developers
with which the Company has  relationships  are also utilized to locate  suitable
sites in selected regions of the country.  If a site meets the Company's general
market  criteria,  then the Company will order a preliminary  market study by an
independent  third party.  If the market study indicates that the site meets its
geographic  selection  criteria,  the Company will then conduct a more  in-depth
analysis of the market,  in conjunction  with  developers,  to ensure there is a
demonstrated  need for assisted living services and that the site is appropriate
in terms of  location,  size and zoning.  If the market and site meet all of the
Company's selection criteria, the property is purchased for development.
   
   The Company has,  together with its developers,  developed three flexible and
expandable  prototype  building  designs:  a 35 unit/40 bed pure assisted living
facility,  a 40 unit/40  bed pure  Alzheimer's  facility  and an 80 unit/92  bed
combination assisted living/Alzheimer's facility.  Flexibility, which will allow
the Company to respond to changing  utilization  patterns and service needs, and
expandability,  which will  allow the  Company  to  cost-effectively  respond to
increased market demand, are key features of the

                                       36


<PAGE>
prototype  design.  The  flexibility  feature allows the facility to quickly and
cost  effectively  reconfigure its assisted living and Alzheimer's bed allotment
based on changing market demand. The expandability  feature allows the prototype
buildings  to  be  easily  and  cost-effectively  expanded  with  little  or  no
disruption   to   current   operations.   Facility   expansion   is  often  more
cost-effective  than  constructing or acquiring a new facility  because of lower
incremental  capital,  operating and fixed costs.  The Company believes that the
use of a small number of developers  working with  prototype  designs will allow
the Company to: (a) save time and money on architectural  and engineering  work,
because only minor modifications will be required at each location to site adapt
the  prototype;  (b) ensure better  construction  quality  control,  because the
Company's  third-party  developers will gain experience by constructing the same
facility design,  rather than a different facility design, at each site; and (c)
save time and money with bulk  purchasing  of materials  and fixtures at a lower
cost,  because  each  facility  will,  for  example,  utilize  the same  kitchen
equipment and windows. In addition,  once a development site is identified,  the
Company  will be able to move  quickly to obtain  zoning  approvals,  since only
limited  architectural  and  engineering  work  will be  required.  All of these
factors  should  contribute  to  faster  and   cost-effective   development  and
construction schedules. See "-- Business Strategy."

   Acquisition.  The Company has entered into  definitive  agreements to acquire
two additional  assisted  living  facilities,  one of which will be sold to, and
leased back from,  HCPI. The Company  anticipates  that this transaction will be
consummated  in August  1996.  The second  facility  is  expected to be acquired
simultaneous  with the closing of this  offering.  The Company  seeks to acquire
individual  or groups of assisted  living  facilities  from  smaller  owners and
operators in its targeted  markets.  In evaluating  possible  acquisitions,  the
Company considers (i) the location,  construction quality,  condition and design
of the facility, (ii) the ability to expand the facility,  (iii) the current and
projected  cash flow of the  facility  and the  anticipated  ability to increase
revenue  through rent and occupancy  increases and  additional  assisted  living
services and (iv) the ability to acquire the facility  below  replacement  cost.
The  Company's  management  has  extensive  contacts  in the senior  housing and
healthcare   industries,   and  the  Company  is   frequently   presented   with
opportunities  to acquire,  develop or manage  assisted  living  facilities.  In
addition,  the  Company  believes  that  consolidation  in the  assisted  living
industry  will  offer  substantial  opportunities  to  acquire  assisted  living
facilities  or other  facilities  that can be  repositioned  as assisted  living
facilities.  See "Risk Factors -- Difficulties of Integrating  Acquisitions" and
"--  Uncertainty of the Proposed  Acquisitions;  Difficulties of Integrating the
Proposed Acquisitions."

   Although  the  Company  intends  to  focus  its  efforts   primarily  on  the
development and acquisition,  directly or through long-term operating leases, of
additional  assisted  living  facilities,  it may in certain  cases also  target
additional third-party management contracts as an interim step to acquisition of
facilities.  Under a  typical  management  agreement,  the  Company  receives  a
percentage  of the gross  operating  revenues of the facility and has a right of
first  refusal  to  acquire  the  facility.  See "--  Properties  --  Management
Agreements."

SERVICES

   The  Company's  assisted  living  facilities  offer  residents a  supportive,
"home-like" setting and assistance with activities of daily living. Residents of
the Company's  facilities are typically unable to live alone, but do not require
the 24-hour  nursing  care  provided  in skilled  nursing  facilities.  Services
provided to the Company's  residents are designed to respond to their individual
needs and to improve their quality of life, are available 24 hours a day to meet
resident  needs,  and generally  include three meals per day,  housekeeping  and
groundskeeping  and building  maintenance  services.  Available support services
include  nursing  care and  health-related  services,  social  and  recreational
services,  transportation  and special  services (such as banking and shopping).
Personal  services  include  bathing,  dressing,   personal  hygiene,  grooming,
ambulating  and  eating  assistance.  Health-related  services,  which  are made
available  and provided  according  to the  resident's  individual  needs and in
accordance  with state  regulatory  requirements,  may include  assistance  with
taking medication,  skin care and injections,  as well as healthcare monitoring.
By providing  programs  that are designed to offer  residents a range of service
options as their needs change,  the Company seeks to achieve greater  continuity
of care,  enabling  seniors to age in place and thereby maintain their residency
for a longer time period.

   Clinical  Assessment.  Each resident is clinically assessed upon admission to
determine  his/her  health  status  including  functional  abilities,  need  for
personal  care  services  and  assistance  with the  activities  of daily living
(ADL's) as well as likes and dislikes. The goal of the clinical assessment is to
determine the care needs of residents as well as their lifestyle preferences.  A
current  physician's  report is also  utilized to further  ascertain  the health
status  and needs of the  resident.  From  these  assessments  a plan of care is
developed  for each  resident  to help ensure that all staff who render care and
services meet the specific needs and preferences of each resident. Residents are
reassessed  periodically and when there is a significant  change in a resident's
condition to be sure the care plan reflects their current needs.  The care plan,
as the  document  which  reflects  the needs of the  resident,  is the basis for
determining the monthly charges for care and services.

   Healthcare  Services.   The  Company  fosters  wellness  by  offering  health
screenings  such as blood pressure  checks,  periodic  special  services such as
influenza  inoculations,  chronic disease  management (such as diabetes with its
attendant  blood glucose  monitoring),  dietary and similar  programs as well as
ongoing  exercise  and  fitness   classes.   Classes  are  given  by  healthcare
professionals to keep residents informed about disease management.

   Regulations  differ by state  regarding the type of care that can be rendered
as well as the  personnel  allowed to provide  such care.  The Company  utilizes
licensed nurses,  certified and/or trained staff to meet the healthcare needs of
its  residents.  Staff  administer  or  assist  with  medications,  observe  and
intervene as the health status of residents change,  and provide  assistance and
care to enable  residents to perform the  activities of daily living:  dressing,
bathing,  grooming,  toileting,  ambulating  and  the  like.  Residents  who are
incontinent, mild to moderately confused, convalescing, nonambulatory, diabetic,
oxygen  dependent or  similarly  dependent  are cared for where  allowed by law.
Hospice  care is offered in many of the  Company's  facilities,  as are  special
programs  such  as  post-plastic  surgery  recuperation,   stroke  recovery  and
intensive  rehabilitation.  Dietary  programs,  nutritional  support and special
retraining programs are also offered by the Company.

   The Company's facilities provide rehabilitation services,  including physical
therapy,  speech and language  pathology and  occupational  therapy,  audiology,
pharmacy  and  physician  services,  as well as  podiatry,  dentistry  and other
professional  services.  These  specialized  healthcare  services are  generally
provided to the residents by  third-party  providers,  who are reimbursed by the
resident or a  third-party  payor (such as Medicare or Medicaid)  or, in certain
cases,  by the staff of the facility where permitted by state law. The Company's
facilities  also  provide   transportation   services  for  residents  to  visit
physicians and other professionals in the surrounding areas.

   Alzheimer's and Dementia Care. Certain of the Company's  facilities contain a
special  unit to  service  the  needs of  residents  with  Alzheimer's  disease,
dementia and other cognitive impairments.  These special needs units are located
in a  separate  area of the  facility  and have  their  own  dining  facilities,
resident lounge areas and specially trained staff.  This physical  separation of
the special needs unit enables  residents to receive the  specialized  care they
require with a minimum of disruption to other residents.  The areas are designed
to allow  residents  the  freedom to ambulate  as they wish while  keeping  them
safely contained  within an alarmed area.  Programming for a minimum of 12 hours
per day keeps these special need residents  channeled into meaningful  activity.
Special  nutritional  programs  are  used  to  help  assure  caloric  intake  is
maintained  in  residents  whose  constant  movement   increases  their  caloric
expenditure.  Family  support  groups meet  regularly with the families of these
residents.

   Adult  Day  Care.  Some of the  Company's  facilities  offer  adult  day care
services for the mentally and/or  physically  frail. The services are offered up
to six  days  per  week,  12  hours  per  day.  Many of the day  care  attendees
eventually become permanent  residents at the facility.  Residents spend the day
engaged in meaningful  activities and socialize with other  residents and staff.
Healthcare needs are monitored by staff and medication  assistance is available.
Assistance  with  activities  of daily living,  as well as meals and  nutritious
snacks,  are also  provided.  Day care offers  families  the ability to continue
employment  despite  caregiving  responsibilities  and also offers  residents an
opportunity to leave their home and interact with their peers.

   Respite  Care.  The  Company's  facilities  accept  residents  for short term
placement  (several  days to  several  months)  to  accommodate  their  or their
family's need for placement, either while the family is on

                                       38

<PAGE>
vacation or is otherwise  absent or because the resident cannot stay alone while
convalescing from illness or injury.  Many residents are frequent  returnees and
often eventually become permanent residents at the facility.

OPERATIONS

   The  Company  offers  a  broad  range  of  assisted  living  services  and an
environment in which residents can age in place in an effort to retain residents
over longer periods as they become  increasingly  frail. The Company continually
assesses  and  monitors  the  health  needs and  desires  of its  residents  and
periodically  adjusts the level and  frequency of care and services  provided to
such residents to meet their increasing  needs. The Company's  multi-tiered rate
structure  for the  services it  provides is based upon the acuity  level of, or
level of services needed by, each resident.  Specialized healthcare services for
those residents requiring 24-hour supervision or more extensive  assistance with
activities  of  daily  living  is  provided  to  the  residents  by  third-party
providers,  who are  reimbursed by the resident or a third-party  payor (such as
Medicare or Medicaid) or, in certain  cases,  by the staff of the facility where
permitted by state law. In order to meet the evolving  needs of its residents as
they age in place,  the Company expects to continually  expand the range of care
and services offered at its residences.  In the future, the Company may elect to
provide these services  directly using its own skilled  employees.  In the event
that a resident's acuity reaches a level such that the Company is unable to meet
such resident's needs, the Company maintains  relationships with local hospitals
and skilled nursing facilities to facilitate a transfer of the resident.

   Marketing.  The  Company's  marketing  strategy is designed to integrate  its
assisted  living  facilities  into the continuum of healthcare  providers in the
geographic  markets in which it operates.  Thus,  the Company seeks to establish
relationships  with local hospitals  (including through joint marketing efforts,
where appropriate) and home healthcare  agencies,  alliances with visiting nurse
associations  and, on a more limited basis,  priority  transfer  agreements with
local skilled nursing  facilities.  The Company believes this marketing strategy
benefits its residents as well as strengthens and expands the Company's  network
of referral sources.

   The Company begins premarketing its facilities up to six months in advance of
opening so that, by the time the facility  opens,  referral  sources,  including
professionals  in  the  community,   hospitals  and  physicians,  will  be  well
familiarized  with the care and  services  provided.  Age and  income  qualified
seniors are recipients of target  marketing  efforts as are their children.  The
Company's goal is to open a new facility with a substantial  number of residents
ready to move in. After opening,  the Company continues its marketing efforts to
attain and then maintain full occupancy.

   The Company seeks to position its facilities as the "senior  resource center"
in each of its markets;  thus when the public thinks of care and/or services for
the elderly they think of the ILC facility.  Each  facility  offers its physical
plant for classes,  meetings,  social events,  etc., to the surrounding  city in
order to foster  interdependence.  The Company  also intends to focus on selling
the care and services  component of its  facilities to those seniors who live in
the surrounding area.

   Staffing.  The Company  ensures  that all its  facilities  are  appropriately
staffed  with   well-trained   professionals   to  provide  its  residents  with
high-quality  personalized care and services.  The day-to-day operations of each
facility,  including quality of care and financial performance,  are overseen by
an Executive Director trained in the Company's  operating  philosophy,  policies
and procedures. A Healthcare Coordinator,  who is a licensed nurse, oversees the
day-to-day  care of residents  and  employees  providing  services to residents.
Other key facility  employees include a Director of Dining Services,  Activities
Director, Maintenance Director and Marketing Director.

   Administration.  The  Company's  corporate  structure  has been  designed  to
provide  appropriate  levels of support  to,  and  oversight  of, the  operating
facilities.  The Company's  philosophy  is to allow the facility  administrators
enough autonomy and flexibility to expeditiously  adjust  operations to meet the
needs of local and  changing  market  conditions  while at the same time holding
them accountable to established quality and financial performance criteria.

   In  anticipation  of its rapid  development  plans,  the  Company  has made a
significant  investment  in  recruiting  and  developing a management  team with
extensive  experience in the post-acute care, sub-acute care, long-term care and
assisted living industries. The Company believes that the depth and

                                       39

<PAGE>
experience of its management  team  positions the Company to effectively  manage
its growth plans and the  increasing  government  regulation of assisted  living
facilities  which  the  Company  anticipates.   Additionally,   the  Company  is
developing  its   infrastructure   to  manage  its   anticipated   growth.   Key
infrastructure components include standardized policies and procedures, computer
systems,  management  information systems, staff training and education programs
and staff recruitment and retention systems. See "Management."

   The Company  employs an  integrated  structure of  management  and  financial
systems  and  controls  in  order  to  contain  costs  and  maximize   operating
efficiency.  The Company  provides  management  support  services to each of its
residential   facilities,   including   establishment  of  operating  standards,
recruiting,  training and financial and accounting  services.  IHS has agreed to
provide resident billing,  occupancy,  accounts payable and payroll  information
services  to the  Company  until  the  Company  has  relocated  to  Florida  and
implemented its own MIS and accounting  systems,  which the Company  anticipates
will  occur in the  fourth  quarter  of 1996.  See  "Certain  Transactions."  In
addition,  the  Company  believes  it can  benefit  from  economies  of scale by
centralizing  certain  functions  such as purchases  of supplies and  equipment,
employee  training and certain sales and marketing  activities.  The Company has
established  reporting and  monitoring  systems  which allow early  detection of
deviations to allow rapid correction.
   
   Service Revenue Sources. The Company currently and for the foreseeable future
expects to rely primarily on its residents' ability to pay the Company's charges
from  their own or  familial  resources.  Although  care in an  assisted  living
facility is typically  less expensive than in a skilled  nursing  facility,  the
Company  believes  generally  only  seniors  with  income or assets  meeting  or
exceeding the regional  median will be able to afford to reside in the Company's
facilities.  Inflation or other  circumstances  that adversely  affect  seniors'
ability to pay for services such as those  provided by the Company could have an
adverse effect on the Company's business or operations. Furthermore, the federal
government does not currently provide any reimbursement for the type of assisted
living services provided by the Company. Although some states have reimbursement
programs in place, in many cases the level of  reimbursement  is insufficient to
cover the costs of  delivering  the  level of care  that the  Company  currently
provides. Except for the Treyton Oak Towers' assisted living facility managed by
the Company  (which is 77% private pay),  all of the revenues from the Company's
remaining  assisted  living  facilities were derived from  private-pay  sources.
There  can  be no  assurance,  however,  that  the  Company  will  continue  its
private-pay  mix or that it will not in the  future  become  more  dependent  on
governmental reimbursement programs.

PROPERTIES

   Existing  Facilities.  The Company  currently  operates  18  assisted  living
facilities in seven states,  containing  1,777 units.  Six of the facilities are
owned,  four are leased  and the  remaining  eight are  managed.  The  Company's
existing  facilities  consist of assisted  living  facilities,  continuing  care
retirement communities,  congregate care facilities and senior housing.  Several
of the Company's  facilities  have  specially  designed wings for residents with
Alzheimer's  disease,  and several  offer adult day care  services.  The Company
believes that the physical  configuration  of its facilities,  combined with its
level of  service,  contributes  to  resident  satisfaction  and allows  seniors
residing  at the  Company's  facilities  to  maintain  an  appropriate  level of
autonomy.

      to November 1995. See "Company History."

(2)   A  unit  is  a  single-  or  double-occupancy  residential  living  space,
      typically an apartment or studio.

(3)   "Beds"  reflects the actual  number of beds,  which in no event is greater
      than the maximum  number of licensed  beds  allowed  under the  facility's
      license.

(4)   ADC = Adult Day Care;  AL = Assisted  Living;  ALZ =  Alzheimer's/Dementia
      Care; C = Congregate;  CCRC = Continuing Care Retirement Community; and SH
      = Senior Housing.  Number of residents  served in Adult Day Care is listed
      next to ADC.

         o Assisted  Living  Facilities  are  typically  designed  for the frail
      and/or  cognitively  impaired  elderly,  with staff personnel and programs
      that assist residents with personalized support services. Meals are served
      in a central  dining room, and staff  personnel  provide  limited  medical
      services, such as medication administration and physical rehabilitation.
    
         o Continuing  Care  Retirement  Communities  are  retirement  complexes
      providing  a  full  continuum  of  care  on  a  single  campus,  including
      congregate  care units for those  residents  still able to adequately care
      for themselves,  assisted living facilities for those residents  requiring
      assistance with activities of daily living,  and skilled nursing units for
      residents who require full-time nursing care or supervision.

         o Congregate Care  Facilities are typically  similar to senior housing,
      except they generally provide meals in a common dining room, housekeeping,
      laundry,  transportation and emergency response.  Medical care is provided
      by third-party providers as required.

         o Senior Housing is typically a multifamily  complex catering to senior
      citizens.  These  facilities  typically  offer limited  services,  such as
      transportation  and  security,  and  arrange  for  healthcare  services as
      required.

         See "--Services."

(5)   Includes 21 skilled nursing beds.

(6)   The Company owns a condominium interest in the assisted living and related
      services portion of this facility;  the remaining  condominium interest in
      the facility,  which consists of a skilled nursing  facility,  is owned by
      IHS. The Company is  prohibited  from  including a segregated  and secured
      Alzheimer's ward in its portion of these facilities.  IHS provides certain
      services to these facilities.  The Company cannot transfer its condominium
      interest  without the prior  consent of IHS. The IHS facility in which the
      Treemont facility is located is subject to a mortgage.  Should IHS default
      on its obligations  under the mortgage,  the lender could foreclose on the
      mortgage,  which could materially adversely affect the Company's business,
      results of operations and financial condition. See "Certain Transactions."

   Management  Agreements.  The Company  currently manages eight assisted living
facilities  with an  aggregate  of 621 units.  The  Company is  responsible  for
providing all personnel, marketing, nursing, resident care and dietary services,
accounting and data processing  reports and services for these facilities at the
facility  owner's  expense.  The facility owner is also obligated to pay for all
required capital expenditures.  The Company manages these facilities in the same
manner as the  facilities  it owns or leases,  and  provides  the same  assisted
living services as are provided in its owned or leased facilities.
    
   The Company receives a management fee for its services which generally ranges
from  4% to 5% of  gross  revenues  of the  assisted  living  facility.  Certain
management  agreements  also provide the Company with an incentive  fee based on
the  amount of the  facility's  operating  income  that  exceeds  a target.  The
management  agreements generally have an initial term of one to five years, with
the right to renew under certain circumstances. The management agreements expire
at various times  between  October 1996 and November  2000,  although all can be
terminated  earlier  under  certain  circumstances.  Certain  of the  management
agreement's  provide the Company with a right of first refusal in respect of the
sale of each managed facility.  The Company believes that management  agreements
are a cost-effective  way to test new markets without having to make the capital
outlay necessary to acquire or develop a facility.
   
   Proposed Acquisitions.  The Company has entered into definitive agreements to
acquire  ownership of one assisted living  facility and a leasehold  interest in
one assisted living  facility.  The table below summarizes  certain  information
regarding  the  Proposed  Acquisitions.  There can be no  assurance  that  these
acquisitions will close as scheduled or at all. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --  Liquidity  and
Capital Resources."

      simultaneous  with the closing of this offering.  This facility includes a
      100-bed nursing facility.

   Development.  The  Company  intends to  develop  assisted  living  facilities
generally  ranging in size from 32 to 80 units,  consisting  of an  aggregate of
approximately 23,000 to 54,000 square feet, which are located on sites typically
ranging  from 2.5 to 5 acres.  Unit size is  expected  to range  from 325 to 500
square feet.  The Company  estimates  that the  development  cost of most of its
assisted living  facilities will generally range from  approximately  $68,000 to
$75,000 per unit,  depending on local variations in land and construction costs,
with an overall average development cost of approximately  $72,000 per unit. The
Company estimates that it will require approximately six months from the date of
land acquisition to develop its 40 unit facilities and approximately nine months
from the date of land acquisition to develop its 80 unit facilities. The Company
owns two development  sites and has acquired  options to purchase 35 development
sites for an aggregate of $9.0  million.  The Company is currently  pursuing the
development of assisted  living  facilities on each of these sites,  of which 25
are scheduled to open in 1997.  Because,  however,  of uncertainties  associated
with  development  of assisted  living  facilities,  including  zoning and other
governmental  limitations,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company will be
successful in meeting scheduled  opening dates for these  facilities.  See "Risk
Factors  --  Limited  Development   Experience;   Development  Delays  and  Cost
Overruns."

(1)   A  unit  is  a  single-  or  double-occupancy  residential  living  space,
      typically an apartment or studio.

(2)   "Beds"  reflects the actual  number of beds,  which in no event is greater
      than the maximum  number of licensed  beds  allowed  under the  facility's
      license.
   
(3)   AL = Assisted  Living;  ALZ =  Alzheimer's/Dementia  Care; and SH = Senior
      Housing. See "-- Services."
    
(4)   "Development"  means that  development  activities,  such as site surveys,
      preparation of architectural  plans or initiation of zoning changes,  have
      commenced (but construction has not commenced).  "Construction" means that
      construction activities,

                                       43


<PAGE>
      such as  ground-breaking  activities,  exterior  construction  or interior
      build-out, have commenced. "Zoning" means that the zoning process has been
      completed or is not applicable.

(5)   The Company expects to finance these developments  through  sale/leaseback
      or mortgage financing.

(6)   The Company expects to lease these facilities from the developer.
   
   The Company currently has relationships with three developers  relating to 32
of the 35 assisted living facilities  currently under development.  Two of these
developers are developing,  in the aggregate, 26 facilities on a turn-key basis,
of which 21 facilities  are scheduled to open in 1997.  Pursuant to the terms of
the  arrangements,  the developer will provide all necessary  site  procurement,
design, construction, construction oversight and licensure services. The Company
intends to finance the 16 facilities being developed by one developer,  of which
11 are  scheduled  to open in 1997,  through  sale/leaseback  arrangements  with
several real estate  investment trusts or mortgage  financing.  The Company will
pay this  developer a fixed  percentage of the building  cost.  The Company will
lease the ten facilities  being developed by the other  developer,  all of which
are scheduled to open in 1997,  pursuant to ten year leases with three five-year
renewal options,  and the right to purchase each facility at five year intervals
for a purchase  price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or $2.1
million.  The  Company  will make  non-refundable  purchase  option  deposits of
$100,000 per facility,  and has provided the developer with a $1,000,000 working
capital  line of credit  that is due on demand and  secured  by the  developer's
interest in all documentation, permits, licenses and the land sites. The Company
has engaged a third developer to provide site selection,  zoning, permitting and
site adaptation  services for six facilities,  for which it will receive a fixed
percentage of the building  cost. The Company has provided the president of this
developer with a $1,000,000 working capital line of credit that is due on demand
and  secured by the  developer's  interest  in all  documentation,  permits  and
licenses and land  contracts  relating to the  developments  it is overseeing on
behalf  of the  Company.  The  Company  has  contracted  with  one of its  other
developers to provide design, construction, construction oversight and licensure
services for these  facilities.  The Company intends to finance these facilities
through  sale/leaseback  arrangements with real estate investment trusts or with
mortgage  financing.  See  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
    
   The Company expects that the average construction time for a typical assisted
living  facility  will be  approximately  six to nine  months,  depending on the
number of units.  Once a site is developed,  the Company  estimates that it will
take  approximately six to 12 months for the assisted living facility to achieve
a stabilized level of occupancy.

COMPETITION

   The senior housing and healthcare  industries are highly  competitive and the
Company expects that the assisted living business in particular will become more
competitive in the future.  The Company will continue to face  competition  from
numerous local, regional and national providers of assisted living and long-term
care  whose  facilities  and  services  are on  either  end of the  senior  care
continuum.  The Company will compete with such facilities primarily on the bases
of cost,  quality of care, array of services  provided and physician  referrals.
The Company will also compete with companies  providing  home based  healthcare,
and even  family  members,  based on those  factors  as well as the  reputation,
geographic  location,  physical appearance of facilities and family preferences.
Some of the  Company's  competitors  operate  on a  not-for-profit  basis  or as
charitable  organizations,  while others have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources than those of the Company.  However,  the Company anticipates that its
most  significant  competition  will come from other assisted living  facilities
within the same geographic area as the Company's facilities because management's
experience  indicates  that  senior  citizens  frequently  elect  to  move  into
facilities near their homes.

   Moreover,  in the  implementation  of the Company's  expansion  program,  the
Company  expects to face  competition  for the  acquisition  and  development of
assisted  living  facilities.  Some  of  the  Company's  current  and  potential
competitors are significantly  larger or have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources  than those of the  Company.  Consequently,  there can be no assurance
that the Company will not

                                       44

<PAGE>

encounter  increased  competition in the future which could limit its ability to
attract  residents  or expand its  business  and could  have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's  financial  condition,   results  of  operations  and
prospects. See "Risk Factors -- Competition."

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

   The Company's  assisted  living  facilities are subject to varying degrees of
regulation and licensing by local and state health and social  service  agencies
and other regulatory  authorities specific to their location.  While regulations
and licensing  requirements  often vary  significantly from state to state, they
typically  address,  among  other  things:  personnel  education,  training  and
records; facility services,  including administration of medication,  assistance
with  self-administration  of medication and limited nursing services;  physical
plant  specifications;  furnishing  of  resident  units;  food and  housekeeping
services;  emergency evacuation plans; and resident rights and responsibilities.
In several states assisted living  facilities also require a certificate of need
before the facility can be opened.  In most states,  assisted living  facilities
also are subject to state or local building  codes,  fire codes and food service
licensure  or  certification  requirements.  Like other  healthcare  facilities,
assisted  living  facilities  are subject to periodic  survey or  inspection  by
governmental  authorities.  The  Company's  success  will  depend in part on its
ability to satisfy such regulations and requirements and to acquire and maintain
any required licenses. The Company's operations could also be adversely affected
by, among other things,  regulatory  developments such as mandatory increases in
the scope and quality of care afforded  residents and revisions in licensing and
certification standards.

   Certain  states  provide  for  Medicaid  reimbursement  for  assisted  living
services  pursuant  to  Medicaid  Waiver  Programs   permitted  by  the  Federal
government. In the event the Company elects to provide services in states with a
Medicaid  Waiver  Program,  the Company may then elect to become  certified as a
Medicaid provider in such states.  The Company is subject to certain federal and
state laws that regulate  relationships among providers of healthcare  services.
These laws include the Medicare and  Medicaid  anti-kickback  provisions  of the
Social  Security Act, which prohibit the payment or receipt of any  remuneration
by anyone in return for,  or to induce,  the  referral of patients  for items or
services  that are paid for, in whole or in part,  by Medicare  or  Medicaid.  A
violation  of these  provisions  may result in civil or criminal  penalties  for
individuals or entities and/or exclusion from  participation in the Medicare and
Medicaid  programs.  The  Company  intends to comply with all  applicable  laws,
including  the fraud and abuse laws;  however,  there can be no  assurance  that
administrative  or judicial  interpretation of existing laws or regulations will
not in the future have a material  adverse  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations  or  financial   condition.   See  "Risk   Factors  --   Governmental
Regulation."

   The Company's  failure to comply with such  regulations  could jeopardize its
reimbursement  payments for any affected residents and could result in fines and
the  suspension  or failure to renew the  Company's  operating  licenses.  These
actions  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business  and
operating  results and on its ability to develop and acquire  properties  in the
future.  The  Company  believes  that it is  currently  in  compliance  with all
material  applicable  regulations and requirements  with respect to its assisted
living facilities.

   Twelve of the Company's 81 skilled  nursing beds are  currently  certified to
receive  benefits  as a skilled  nursing  facility  provided  under  the  Health
Insurance  for the Aged and Disabled Act (commonly  referred to as  "Medicare"),
and  substantially  all are also certified  under programs  administered  by the
various  states using federal and state funds to provide  medical  assistance to
qualifying  needy   individuals   ("Medicaid").   Both  initial  and  continuing
qualification of a skilled nursing care facility to participate in such programs
depend  upon  many  factors  including,  among  other  things,   accommodations,
equipment,  services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical environment, and
adequate policies, procedures and controls.

   Under the Medicare program, the federal government pays the reasonable direct
and  indirect  allowable  costs  (including  depreciation  and  interest) of the
services furnished.  Under the various Medicaid programs, the federal government
supplements funds provided by the participating states for medical assistance to
qualifying  needy  individuals.  The programs are administered by the applicable
state welfare or social service  agencies.  Although Medicaid programs vary from
state to state, typically they provide

                                       45

<PAGE>
for the payment of certain expenses, up to established limits. Funds received by
the Company under Medicare and Medicaid are subject to audit with respect to the
proper  preparation  of annual cost reports upon which  reimbursement  is based.
Such  audits  can  result in  retroactive  adjustments  of  revenue  from  these
programs,  resulting  in either  amounts due to the  government  agency from the
Company or amounts due the Company from the government agency.

   Both the  Medicare  and  Medicaid  programs  are  subject  to  statutory  and
regulatory   changes,   administrative   rulings,   interpretations   of  policy
determinations by insurance  companies acting as Medicare fiscal  intermediaries
and governmental funding  restrictions,  all of which may materially increase or
decrease  the rate of program  payments to  healthcare  facilities.  Since 1985,
Congress has  consistently  attempted to limited the growth of federal  spending
under the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.  In addition,  a number of healthcare
reform  proposals  have been  introduced in Congress in recent years.  It is not
clear at this time what proposals,  if any, will be adopted or, if adopted, what
effect such proposals would have on the Company's business. The Company can give
no assurance  that  payments  under such programs will in the future remain at a
level  comparable  to the present  level or be sufficient to cover the operating
and fixed costs  allocable to such  patients.  Changes in  reimbursement  levels
under  Medicare or Medicaid and changes in applicable  governmental  regulations
could significantly affect the Company's results of operations.  It is uncertain
at this time  whether  legislation  on  healthcare  reform  will  ultimately  be
implemented or whether other changes in the  administration or interpretation of
governmental  healthcare  programs  will occur.  There can be no assurance  that
future  healthcare  legislation  or  other  changes  in  the  administration  or
interpretation  of  governmental  healthcare  programs  will not have an adverse
effect on the results of operations of the Company.  The Company  cannot at this
time predict whether any healthcare  reform  legislation  will be adopted or, if
adopted and implemented,  what effect, if any, such legislation will have on the
Company.

   Under the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act of 1990,  all  places of public
accommodation  are  required to meet  certain  federal  requirements  related to
access and use by disabled persons.  A number of additional  federal,  state and
local laws exist which also may require  modifications  to existing  and planned
properties to create access to the  properties  by disabled  persons.  While the
Company  believes that its  properties  are  substantially  in  compliance  with
present  requirements  or are exempt  therefrom,  if required  changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated basis
than  anticipated,  additional  costs would be incurred by the Company.  Further
legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect to access
by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be substantial.

   The  Company  and its  activities  are  subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often required
for construction.  Severely restrictive  regulations could impair the ability of
the Company to open additional  residences at desired  locations or could result
in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's growth strategy and
results of  operations.  See "Risk  Factors -- Limited  Development  Experience;
Development   Delays  and  Cost  Overruns,"  "--  Business   Strategy"  and  "--
Development and Acquisition."

EMPLOYEES
   
   As of July 15, 1996, the Company had 482  employees,  including 270 full-time
employees, of which 21 were employed at the Company's headquarters.  None of the
Company's employees are currently  represented by a labor union, and the Company
is not aware of any union-organizing  activity among its employees.  The Company
believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
    
   Although  the  Company  believes  it is able  to  employ  sufficient  skilled
personnel to staff the facilities it operates or manages,  a shortage of skilled
personnel in any of the geographic  areas in which it operates  could  adversely
affect the  Company's  ability to recruit  and retain  qualified  employees  and
control  its  operating  expenses.  See "Risk  Factors --  Dependence  on Senior
Management and Skilled Personnel" and "-- Staffing and Labor Costs."

EXECUTIVE OFFICES
   
   The Company's  executive office is located in Owings Mills,  Maryland,  where
the Company leases space from IHS. The Company will relocate to Bonita  Springs,
Florida in September 1996, where it has leased approximately 20,000 square feet.
    
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company is involved in various  lawsuits and claims arising in the normal
course of business.  In the opinion of management  of the Company,  although the
outcomes of these suits and claims are  uncertain,  in the aggregate they should
not  have a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  business,  financial
condition and results of operations.

Company,  was  employed  by IHS or the  Company  during  1995.  For  information
regarding the 1996  compensation  for Messrs.  Komp, Poole and Shatterly and Ms.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
   
   The Company is a party to Employment Agreements (the "Employment Agreements")
with  each of  Edward  J.  Komp,  Kayda A.  Johnson,  John B.  Poole and Kyle D.
Shatterly  to serve as  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Senior  Vice
President -- Chief Operating  Officer,  Senior Vice President -- Chief Financial
Officer and Senior Vice President -- Acquisitions and Development, respectively.
Subject to earlier termination, as discussed below, each Employment Agreement is
for a three-year  term  commencing as of May 1, 1996;  however,  the  Employment
Agreements of Mr. Komp and Ms. Johnson provide for automatic one-year extensions
on each  anniversary  thereof  unless 120 days' notice of nonrenewal is given by
either  party prior to such  anniversary  date.  The current  annual base salary
("Base Salary") for each executive is:  $285,000 for Mr. Komp;  $195,000 for Ms.
Johnson; $150,000 for Mr. Poole; and $135,000 for Mr. Shatterly. Each Employment
Agreement  provides that the executive's Base Salary is to be increased annually
by a percentage  equal to the  percentage  increase in the Consumer  Price Index
("CPI")  and,  with  respect  to each  executive  other than Mr.  Komp,  by such
additional
    
                                       50


<PAGE>
amounts as may be  determined in the  discretion  of the Company's  President or
Chief  Executive  Officer.  The Base Salary of Mr. Komp may be  increased in the
discretion of the Board of  Directors.  Each  executive may also receive  annual
cash  bonuses  in an  amount  determined  in  the  discretion  of the  Board  of
Directors;  provided, however, if the Company meets or exceeds performance goals
specified by the Board of Directors,  each executive will receive a bonus of not
less than 30% of Base Salary (50% in the case of Mr. Komp). Mr.  Shatterly's and
Mr.  Poole's  1996  bonus  will be  prorated  from the date of their  respective
Employment Agreements.
   
   Pursuant to the  Employment  Agreements,  each  executive  is entitled to (a)
comprehensive  individual and dependent health insurance,  (b) Company paid life
insurance  coverage  in the amount of  $500,000  ($1,000,000  in the case of Mr.
Komp) and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, (c) disability insurance
coverage in a monthly  benefit amount equal to the sum of the  executive's  Base
Salary plus a "Bonus Amount" (as defined in the Employment  Agreements),  (d) an
annual automobile allowance of $9,600, subject to increase based on the CPI, (e)
a Company paid  personal  umbrella  (excess)  insurance  policy in the amount of
$2,000,000  ($5,000,000  in the case of Mr. Komp),  and (f)  participate  in any
executive   retirement  program   established  and  maintained  by  the  Company
(collectively,  the  "Executive  Benefits").  In  addition,  each  executive  is
entitled  to  receive  equity-based   compensation  in  the  discretion  of  the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company has also agreed to
reimburse each executive (other than Ms. Johnson) for certain expenses  incurred
as a result of their relocation to Florida.
    
   The  Employment  Agreement with Mr. Komp may be terminated by either party on
90 days' notice.  Upon termination of Mr. Komp's  employment  without Cause, the
expiration of, or the Company's failure to renew, the Employment  Agreement,  or
the  resignation  of Mr. Komp for Good Reason,  Mr. Komp will be entitled to the
sum of (1)  the  remaining  Base  Salary  due  under  his  Employment  Agreement
(generally three years unless prior notice of nonrenewal has been given) and (2)
the higher of his bonus in the year of  termination  or in the previous year. In
addition,  Mr. Komp will  continue to receive his  existing  level of  Executive
Benefits or the level of Executive  Benefits received during the preceding year,
whichever is greater,  throughout the severance  period  (generally three years)
and all stock options,  other equity-based rights and rights under the Company's
Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plan  ("SERP")  then held by Mr. Komp will
become fully vested.  The  Employment  Agreements  with Ms.  Johnson and Messrs.
Poole and  Shatterly  may each be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice.
Upon termination without Cause, the expiration of the Employment  Agreement,  or
the  resignation  of the  executive  for  Good  Reason,  or,  in the case of Ms.
Johnson,  the failure to renew the Employment  Agreement,  the executive will be
entitled  to a payment of one and  one-half  times the sum of (1) the greater of
his or her salary in the year of termination or in the previous year and (2) the
higher of his or her bonus in the year of  termination  or in the previous year.
In addition,  for a period of 18 months following such termination,  each of Ms.
Johnson and Messrs.  Poole and Shatterly will continue to receive their existing
level of Executive  Benefits or the level of Executive  Benefits received during
the  preceding  year,  whichever  is  greater,  and  all  stock  options,  other
equity-based  rights and SERP rights then held by Ms. Johnson and Messrs.  Poole
or Shatterly, respectively, will become fully vested.

   For purposes of each of the Employment Agreements,  "Cause" is defined as (i)
material failure to perform duties,  (ii) material breach of  confidentiality or
noncompete provisions,  (iii) conviction of a felony, or (iv) theft, larceny, or
embezzlement  of Company  property.  "Good  Reason" is defined as (i) a material
breach of the  agreement  by the Company or (ii)  resignation  of the  executive
within one year after a change in control.  A "change of control" of the Company
is deemed to occur  under the  Employment  Agreements,  in  general:  (i) when a
person, other than the executive or a group controlled by the executive, becomes
the "beneficial owner" of 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock, (ii) in the
event of  certain  mergers  or  consolidations  in which the  Company is not the
surviving  entity,  (iii)  in the  event  of the  sale,  lease  or  transfer  of
substantially  all of the Company's  assets or the liquidation of the Company or
(iv) if, within any 24-month  period,  the persons who were members of the Board
of Directors at the  beginning of such period cease to  constitute a majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company or any successor entity.

   Each Employment Agreement contains covenants by the executive to, among other
things,  maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets of the Company during the
term of their Employment Agreements and thereafter,  as well as covenants not to
solicit employees or customers of the Company and

                                       51


<PAGE>
not to be employed or have certain other  relationships  with entities which are
directly in the  business of owning,  operating  or  managing  facilities  which
compete  with any such  facility  then  operated  by the  Company  or any of its
subsidiaries  during the term of their  Employment  Agreement and for a 12 month
period thereafter.

STOCK OPTIONS

   Stock  Incentive Plan. The Company adopted the Stock Incentive Plan to enable
the  Company  and its  stockholders  to secure  the  benefits  of  Common  Stock
ownership  by key  personnel  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries.  The Stock
Incentive  Plan  permits the  issuance of  restricted  stock and the granting of
options to purchase an aggregate of 594,150 shares of the Company's Common Stock
to key employees of and  consultants to the Company or any of its  subsidiaries.
Directors  who perform  services for the Company  solely in their  capacities as
directors  are not  eligible to receive  shares of  restricted  stock or options
under the Stock  Incentive  Plan. The number of shares which may be issued under
the Stock  Incentive Plan is subject to adjustment in proportion to any increase
or  decrease in the number of issued  shares of Common  Stock  resulting  from a
stock  dividend,  split-up,  consolidation  or any similar  capital  adjustment.
Options  granted under the Stock  Incentive Plan may be either  incentive  stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended ("ISOs"), or options which do not qualify as ISOs ("non-ISOs").

   The Stock Incentive Plan will be administered by the  Compensation  Committee
of the Board of Directors  (the  "Committee").  No member of the  Committee  may
receive an option or a  restricted  stock award under the Stock  Incentive  Plan
within one year prior to his or her becoming a member of the Committee or at any
time  while he or she is serving  as a member of the  Committee.  Subject to the
provisions  of the Stock  Incentive  Plan,  the  Committee  has the authority to
determine the  individuals  to whom shares of restricted  stock or stock options
will be granted, the number of shares to be issued or covered by each restricted
stock or option  grant,  the purchase or option price,  the type of option,  the
option period, the vesting restrictions or repurchase restrictions, if any, with
respect to the  restricted  stock or exercise  of the option,  the terms for the
payment  of the  restricted  stock or the  option  price  and  other  terms  and
conditions. Payment for shares under a restricted stock award or pursuant to the
exercise of an option may be made (as determined by the Committee) in cash or by
shares of Common Stock.
   
   The exercise  price for shares covered by an ISO may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% in the case
of a grant  to an  employee  who  owns  stock  possessing  more  than 10% of the
combined  voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any  subsidiary
entitled  to vote (a "10%  Stockholder")).  The  purchase  price  for  shares of
restricted  stock and the exercise price for shares covered by a non-ISO may not
be less than the par value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. All options
must expire no later than ten years (five years in the case of an ISO granted to
a 10%  Stockholder)  from the date of  grant.  The  Stock  Incentive  Plan  also
provides that the options will become  exercisable  and restricted  stock awards
will become  fully  vested upon a change in control of the Company or if, at any
time  within  two years  following  the date any person (as such term is used in
Section  13(d) and  14(d)(2) of the Exchange  Act) shall  become the  beneficial
owner  (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange  Act) of 30% or more
of the  Company's  outstanding  Common  Stock  other than  pursuant to a plan or
arrangement  entered  into by such  person and the  Company,  either the Company
terminates  the optionee's  employment  (other than for Cause (as defined in the
Stock  Incentive  Plan)),  or the optionee  leaves the employ of the Company for
Good Reason (as defined in the Stock  Incentive  Plan).  A "change in control of
the  Company"  is  deemed  to occur if (i) there  shall be  consummated  (x) any
consolidation  or  merger  of the  Company  in  which  the  Company  is not  the
continuing  or  surviving  entity or pursuant to which  shares of the  Company's
Common Stock would be converted into cash,  securities or other property,  other
than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's  Common Stock
immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate  ownership of common
stock of the  surviving  corporation  immediately  after the merger,  or (y) any
sale,  lease,  exchange or other  transfer  (in one  transaction  or a series of
related  transactions)  of all,  or  substantially  all,  of the  assets  of the
Company,  or (ii) the  stockholders  of the  Company  shall  approve any plan or
proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or (iii)

                                       52


<PAGE>
during any period of two consecutive years,  individuals who at the beginning of
such period  constitute the entire Board of Directors shall cease for any reason
to constitute a majority  thereof  unless the election,  or the  nomination  for
election by the Company's  stockholders,  of each new director was approved by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who were
directors at the beginning of the period. In general, no option may be exercised
more than three months after the termination of the optionee's  service with the
Company and its  subsidiaries.  However,  the three-month  period is extended to
twelve months if the optionee's service is terminated by reason of disability or
death and the  Committee  may in its  discretion  extend the period of  exercise
following  termination  of  employment.  No individual  may be granted ISOs that
become  exercisable  for the first time in any  calendar  year for Common  Stock
having a fair  market  value at the time of grant  in  excess  of  $100,000.  In
addition,  the  maximum  option  grant  which may be made to an  employee of the
Company in a calendar year shall not cover more than 500,000 shares.
    
   Options may not be transferred during the lifetime of an optionee. Subject to
certain  limitations  set forth in the Stock  Incentive Plan and applicable law,
the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Stock  Incentive  Plan. In any
event,  no  restricted  stock awards or stock  options may be granted  under the
Stock Incentive Plan after May 24, 2006.
   
   On June 10, 1996, each of Ms. Johnson and Messrs.  Komp,  Poole and Shatterly
was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares, 200,000 shares, 100,000 shares
and 70,000 shares, respectively,  of Common Stock at an exercise price per share
equal to the initial  public  offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus.  The options become  exercisable  in five equal annual  installments
commencing  June 10, 1997. The options expire on the earlier of June 10, 2006 or
three  months  after the  optionee  ceases to be an employee of the Company (one
year if by reason of death or disability).

   Non-Plan Director Options. On June 10, 1996, each of Ms. Merritt,  Dr. Elkins
and Messrs.  Bared,  Cirka and Laverty was granted an option to purchase  20,000
shares,  300,000  shares,  35,000  shares,  125,000  shares and  35,000  shares,
respectively,  of Common  Stock at an  exercise  price  per  share  equal to the
initial public  offering  price set forth on the cover page of this  Prospectus.
These options become exercisable in three equal annual installments,  commencing
June 10, 1997,  although  they will become  immediately  exercisable  upon (i) a
change in control of the Company (as defined below under "Non-Employee  Director
Stock Option  Plan"),  (ii) the removal  (other than for  justifiable  cause (as
defined in the option  agreement)) of the optionee as, or the Company's  failure
to renominate (other than for justifiable cause) the optionee for election as, a
director  of the  Company at any time  within two years  following  the date any
person (as such term is used in Section  13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act)
shall become the  beneficial  owner  (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange  Act) of 30% or more of the  Company's  outstanding  Common Stock other
than  pursuant  to a plan or  arrangement  entered  into by such  person and the
Company, or (iii) the death or disability of the optionee. The options expire on
the earlier to occur of June 10, 2006 or six months after the optionee ceases to
be a director (one year if by reason of death or disability).

   Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option  Plan.  The  Company  has  adopted  the
Non-Employee  Director Stock Option Plan (the  "Non-Employee  Director Plan") to
promote the Company's  interests by attracting  and  retaining  highly  skilled,
experienced  and   knowledgeable   non-employee   directors.   Pursuant  to  the
Non-Employee  Director  Plan,  each  non-employee  director of the Company  will
automatically  receive on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company following completion of this offering at which such person is elected or
re-elected as a director (the "Grant Date") an option to purchase  10,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "Option") at a per share exercise price equal
to the fair  market  value of the  Common  Stock on the Grant  Date.  A total of
100,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the  Non-Employee  Director Plan.
The number of shares which may be issued under the Non-Employee Director Plan is
subject to  adjustment  to reflect  any  increase  or  decrease in the number of
shares  of  Common  Stock   resulting  from  a  stock  split,   stock  dividend,
consolidation or other similar capital adjustment.

   Except as set forth below,  Options become  exercisable in three equal annual
installments commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event
that a director ceases to be a director of the Company, such person may exercise
the Option if it is exercisable by him at the time he ceases to be a

                                       53


<PAGE>
director  of the  Company,  within six  months  after the date he ceases to be a
director  of the  Company  (one year if he ceases to be a director  by reason of
death or disability).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  in the event a "Change of
Control of the Company" shall occur,  or the optionee is removed (other than for
justifiable cause (as defined in the Non-Employee  Director Plan)) as, or is not
renominated  (other than for  justifiable  cause) for election as, a director of
the Company at any time within two years  following the date any person (as such
term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) shall become the
beneficial  owner  (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange  Act) of
30% or more of the Company's  outstanding  Common Stock other than pursuant to a
plan or  arrangement  entered  into by such  person  and the  Company,  then all
options granted under the Non-Employee  Director Plan which are then outstanding
shall immediately become exercisable. A "Change in Control of the Company" shall
be deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated  (x) any  consolidation  or
merger of the Company in which the Company is not the  continuing  or  surviving
corporation  or pursuant to which shares of the Company's  Common Stock would be
converted into cash,  securities or other  property,  other than a merger of the
Company in which the holders of the Company's Common Stock  immediately prior to
the  merger  have  the  same  proportionate  ownership  of  common  stock of the
surviving  corporation  immediately  after the merger,  or (y) any sale,  lease,
exchange  or  other  transfer  (in  one  transaction  or  a  series  of  related
transactions)  of all, or  substantially  all, of the assets of the Company,  or
(ii) the  stockholders  of the Company  shall  approve any plan or proposal  for
liquidation  or  dissolution  of the Company,  or (iii) during any period of two
consecutive  years,  individuals who at the beginning of such period  constitute
the  entire  Board of  Directors  shall  cease for any  reason to  constitute  a
majority  thereof  unless the election,  or the  nomination  for election by the
Company's  stockholders,  of each  director  was  approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds  of the  directors  then  still in office who were  directors  at the

shall have a term of ten years  from the Grant Date and shall not be  "incentive
stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.

   The Non-Employee Director Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors
of  the  Company.   However,  the  Non-Employee  Director  Plan  prescribes  the
individuals  who would be awarded  Options,  the number of shares subject to the
Options,  and the terms and conditions of each award. The Board of Directors may
at any time terminate the  Non-Employee  Director Plan and may from time to time
alter or amend the Non-Employee Director Plan or any part thereof, provided that
the  rights  of a  director  with  respect  to an option  granted  prior to such
termination, alteration or amendment may not be impaired.
    
   Option Grants.  The following  table sets forth certain  summary  information
concerning individual grants of stock options to each of the Company's executive
officers. No stock options were granted in the year ended December 31, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

   The  Company's  Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the "SERP") is an
unfunded  deferred  compensation  plan which offers certain  executive and other
highly  compensated  employees an  opportunity to defer  compensation  until the
termination of their  employment with the Company.  Contributions to the SERP by
the Company,  which vest over a period of ten years, are determined by the Board
upon recommendation of the Committee and are allocated to participants' accounts
on a pro rata basis based upon the  compensation of all participants in the SERP
in the year such  contribution is made. In addition,  a participant may elect to
defer a portion of his or her  compensation and have that amount added to his or
her SERP account.  Participants  may direct the investments in their  respective
SERP accounts. All participant  contributions and the earnings thereon, plus the
participant's vested portion of the Company's  contribution account, are payable
upon termination of a participant's employment with the Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

   The  Compensation  Committee  currently  consists of Luis  Bared,  Charles A.
Laverty and Lisa Merritt.  Each of Messrs. Bared and Laverty and Ms. Merritt has
received  options to purchase  shares of Common Stock.  See "-- Stock Options --
Non-Plan Director Options."

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
   
   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
and managed by IHS.  Following the Company's  formation,  IHS transferred to the
Company as a capital  contribution  its ownership  interest in The Waterside and
The Homestead  facilities,  sublet to the Company The Shores and Cheyenne  Place
facilities,  and leased to the Company the assisted living and related  portions
of the  Treemont and West Palm Beach  facilities.  IHS also  transferred  to the
Company  all the  stock  of a  company  which  had  agreements  to  manage  nine
facilities (one of which was cancelled by mutual agreement in July 1996).

   To date IHS has provided all required  financial,  legal,  accounting,  human
resources and information systems services to the Company, and has satisfied all
the Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS
has charged the  Company a flat fee of 6% of total  revenue for these  services,
except that with respect to the Waterside  facility  prior to October 1995,  IHS
and the minority owner of the facility each charged the Company a fee of 4.5% of
monthly service fee revenue for these services.  The Company  estimates that the
cost  of  obtaining   these   services   from  third  parties  would  have  been
significantly  higher  than the fees  charged by IHS.  IHS has agreed to provide
certain  administrative  services  to the  Company  after  the  closing  of this
offering until the Company has relocated to Florida and  implemented its own MIS
and accounting  systems,  which the Company anticipates will occur in the fourth
quarter of 1996. See "Business -- Operations."
    
   Effective  June 1,  1996,  IHS  contributed  to the  capital  of the  Company
condominium  interests in the assisted  living  portions of the West Palm Beach,
Treemont and Vintage  facilities  to the Company as a  contribution  to capital.
These  assisted  living  facilities are  immediately  adjacent to or are located
within the same  building and share common areas with an existing IHS  facility.
Prior to the  contribution  of  condominium  interests  in the  assisted  living
portion of each of these facilities, a condominium association was created and a
Declaration of Condominium was filed that governs these facilities.  The Company
and IHS are the only members of these  condominium  associations,  and share the
cost of maintaining the common areas of such facilities.
   
   In connection with the Company's  operation of the West Palm Beach,  Treemont
and Vintage assisted living facilities,  the Company and an operating subsidiary
of IHS have  entered  into  Services  Agreements  whereby IHS  provides  certain
facility services to the Company. Pursuant to the individual Service Agreements,
IHS provides the Company (and its residents) with a combination of the following
services:  building  maintenance services (West Palm Beach facility only: $3,200
monthly fee paid to IHS);  housekeeping  (West Palm Beach facility only:  $2,000
monthly fee paid to IHS); laundry services (all facilities: monthly fees paid to
IHS are $850 (West Palm Beach), $1,500 (Vintage) and $3,300

                                       55

<PAGE>
(Treemont));  emergency call services (all facilities:  $100 monthly fee paid to
IHS); and nutrition (resident meals) services (all facilities:  fees paid to IHS
equal $8.00 (Vintage) and $10.00 (West Palm Beach and Treemont) per resident/per
day). In addition,  pursuant to each Services Agreement,  the Company pays IHS a
monthly general building management and landscaping services fee equal to $4,583
(Vintage),  $14,166 (West Palm Beach) and $31,083 (Treemont),  respectively.  In
connection with the administration of the Vintage facility,  IHS and the Company
share the services of the executive  director and the Company pays IHS an amount
equal to thirty  percent  (30%) of the total costs and expenses  (including  all
wages,  benefits,  payroll  taxes,  and workers'  compensation  premiums) of the
executive director of the facility.  Other than the general building  management
and landscaping services fee, each of the above described fees are subject to an
annual  increase equal to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban  Consumers--All
Cities (not to exceed 4%).  Each Service  Agreement has a one-year term and will
be  automatically   renewed  for  successive  one-year  terms  unless  otherwise
terminated.  Each Service  Agreement  may be terminated by either party upon 180
days' notice or 30 days following the delivery of a notice of material breach if
the breach is not cured to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party.
    
   The  Company  and IHS are parties to an  Administrative  Services  Agreement,
dated effective June 1, 1996,  pursuant to which IHS provides  accounts payable,
accounts  receivable,  corporate  accounting,  payroll and payroll tax services,
human resources support and risk management support services (the "Services") to
the Company. The agreement allows the Company to terminate,  upon 30 days' prior
notice,  any portion of the Services  prior to the  expiration of the agreement.
The Company  will pay IHS a monthly  fee equal to 1.2% of the gross  revenues of
each of the Company's assisted living facilities  (subject to reduction,  as the
Company terminates  Services).  The initial term of the Administrative  Services
Agreement is 12 months and will be  automatically  renewed for an  additional 12
month period unless terminated.
   
   Pursuant  to  sublease  agreements  dated as of June 1,  1996,  an  operating
subsidiary of the Company subleases The Shores and The Cheyenne Place facilities
from IHS. The subleases  provide for the payment of annual rent aggregating $1.7
million,  which amount is substantially similar to the amount paid by IHS to the
property  owner ($1.4  million in rent plus $321,000 in annual  purchase  option
deposits  representing  the  facilities'  allocable  portion of the total annual
purchase  option  deposit  IHS is  required  to make).  In  connection  with the
execution  of each  sublease  agreement,  the  Company  has  executed a guaranty
agreement  whereby the Company  guarantees the payment of obligations  due under
the sublease agreements.

   IHS  has  made  available  to the  Company  a $75  million  revolving  credit
facility.  Borrowings  under the facility  bear  interest at the rate of 14% per
annum.  All  outstanding  borrowings,  together  with  all  accrued  but  unpaid
interest,  are  due at the  earlier  of (i) the  closing  of an  initial  public
offering by ILC or (ii) June 30, 1998. At June 30, 1996 and July 26, 1996,  $3.4
million and $3.7 million, respectively, were outstanding under the facility. The
Company  intends to use a portion of the proceeds of this  offering to repay all
amounts outstanding under this facility. See "Use of Proceeds." Borrowings under
this facility were used to finance the Company's development activities.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

   The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000  shares of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share,  4,961,000  shares of which are issued and outstanding
as of the date  hereof  and held of  record  by IHS,  and  5,000,000  shares  of
Preferred  Stock,  $.01 par value,  none of which are outstanding as of the date
hereof.

COMMON STOCK

   Holders of Common  Stock are  entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters  submitted  to a vote of  stockholders.  The Common  Stock does not have
cumulative  voting  rights,  and, as a result,  the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock  entitled to vote in any election of directors  may elect
all of the directors  standing for election,  and, in that event, the holders of
the  remaining  shares will not be able to elect any  directors.  Subject to the
rights and preferences of any Preferred  Stock which may be issued,  the holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such  dividends,  if any, as may
be declared by the Board of Directors  out of funds legally  available  therefor
and, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders
of Common  Stock are  entitled to receive  ratably the net assets of the Company
available  after the  payment  of all debts and other  liabilities.  Holders  of
Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,  redemption or conversion rights.
The  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  are,  and the  shares  offered by the
Company in this  offering  will be,  when  issued  and paid for,  fully paid and
nonassessable. The rights, privileges and preferences of holders of Common Stock
will be subject to, and may be adversely  affected by, the rights of the holders
of any shares of Preferred  Stock which the Company may  designate  and issue in
the future.
   
   At  present,  there is no active  trading  market for the Common  Stock.  The
Common Stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under
the  symbol  "ILCC."  See "Risk  Factors  -- No Prior  Public  Market;  Possible
Volatility of Stock Price."
    
PREFERRED STOCK

   The Preferred  Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
determined  by the Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences,  privileges and restrictions  thereof,  including  dividend rights,
dividend  rates,   conversion  rights,   voting  rights,  terms  of  redemption,
redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series,  without further vote or action by
the stockholders.  The Preferred Stock could be issued by the Board of Directors
with voting and conversion  rights that could adversely  affect the voting power
and other rights of the holders of the Common  Stock.  In addition,  because the
terms of the  Preferred  Stock  may be fixed by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Company without  stockholder action, the Preferred Stock could be issued quickly
with terms calculated to defeat or delay a proposed takeover of the Company,  or
to make the removal of the  management  of the  Company  more  difficult.  Under
certain circumstances, this could have the effect of decreasing the market price
of the Common  Stock.  The Company has no present  plans to issue any  Preferred
Stock. See "Risk Factors -- Effect of Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions."

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

   The Company has granted  "piggyback"  registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common  Stock owned by IHS after this  offering.  As a result,  if the
Company  proposes to register any of its securities,  either for its own account
or for the account of other stockholders,  the Company is required, with certain
exceptions,  to notify IHS and,  subject to certain  limitations,  to include in
such  registration all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be included by
IHS.  The  Company is  generally  required  to pay all of the  expenses  of such
registrations other than the underwriting  discounts and commissions.  See "Risk
Factors -- Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Registration Rights."

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS

   Number of Directors. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate")  and By-laws of the Company  provide  that the Board of  Directors
shall consist of not less than five nor more than nine members, the exact number
to be fixed from time to time by the Company's Board of Direc-

                                       58

<PAGE>
tors.  This number may be increased  whenever the holders of any other series of
Preferred  Stock which may be issued by the Company have the right,  voting as a
separate class or series,  to elect directors of the Company for so long as such
right to elect directors exists.

   Classification of Board of Directors. The Restated Certificate and By-laws of
the Company divide the Board of Directors into three classes,  designated  Class
I, Class II and Class  III,  respectively,  each class to be as nearly  equal in
number as possible.  The term of Class I, Class II and Class III directors  will
expire at the 1997, 1998 and 1999 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively,
and in all cases directors elected will serve until their respective  successors
are elected and  qualified.  At each annual meeting of  stockholders,  directors
will be elected to succeed  those in the class  whose  terms then  expire,  each
elected  director to serve for a term  expiring at the third  succeeding  annual
meeting of stockholders after such director's election, and until the director's
successor is elected and qualified.  Thus,  directors elected stand for election
only once in three years.

   Additional  Directorships,  Vacancies  and  Removal of  Directors.  Under the
Delaware  General  Corporation  Law (the "DGCL"),  the Restated  Certificate and
By-laws, the Board of Directors is authorized to create additional directorships
(up to the maximum  number  permitted by the Restated  Certificate),  elect such
additional   directors  and  fill  vacancies  which  may  arise  in  the  Board.
Newly-created  directorships  and  vacancies  may be  filled  by a  majority  of
directors then in office to hold office until the next election of the class for
which such  directors  have been  chosen,  and until their  successors  shall be
elected and qualified.  In addition, in accordance with the DGCL pertaining to a
company  whose  Board  of  Directors  is  classified,   the  Company's  Restated
Certificate  and By-laws provide that directors may be removed only for cause by
vote of the  holders of 75% of the shares  entitled  to vote at an  election  of
directors,  except that directors elected by holders of Preferred Stock may only
be removed as provided in the Company's Restated  Certificate or the Certificate
of Designation of such Preferred Stock.

   Stockholder Action and Special Meetings. The Restated Certificate and By-laws
provide  that any  action of  stockholders  must be  effected  at a duly  called
meeting and not by written  consent in lieu of a meeting  unless there are fewer
than two stockholders.  The By-laws do not permit stockholders of the Company to
call special  meetings of  stockholders.  A special meeting of stockholders  may
only be called by the  Chairman  of the  Board,  the  President  or the Board of
Directors  of the Company and are to be held only for the  purposes set forth in
the notice of meeting.  The  affirmative  vote of the holders of at least 80% of
the Company's then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of
directors (considered for this purpose as one class) is required to amend, alter
or repeal,  or to adopt any provision  inconsistent  with, the provisions of the
Restated  Certificate  and By-laws  described  herein or to change such required
vote.

   Advance  Notice   Requirements   for   Stockholder   Proposals  and  Director
Nominations.   The  By-laws  establish  an  advance  notice  procedure  for  the
nomination,  other than by or at the  direction  of the Board of  Directors or a
committee  thereof,  of candidates  for election as directors  (the  "Nomination
Procedure")  as well as for other  stockholder  proposals  to be  considered  at
annual  stockholders'  meetings.  Notice to the Company from a  stockholder  who
proposes to nominate a person at a meeting for election as a director  generally
must be given not less than 120 nor more than 150 days prior to the  anniversary
of the date  notice  of the  annual  meeting  of  stockholders  was given in the
preceding year and contain:  (i) the name and record address of the  stockholder
who intends to make the nomination;  (ii) the name, age and residence address of
the nominee;  (iii) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee;  (iv)
the  class,  series and number of shares  held of  record,  beneficially  and by
proxy,  by the stockholder and the nominee as of the record date of such meeting
(if such record date is publicly  available)  and as of the date of such notice;
and  (v)  such  other  information  relating  to the  nominee  proposed  by such
stockholder  as is required to be included  in a proxy  statement  or  otherwise
required  pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
including  the  written  consent  of each  nominee  to being  named in the proxy
statement and to serve as a director of the Company if so elected. The presiding
officer of the meeting may refuse to  acknowledge  the  nomination of any person
not made in compliance  with the Nomination  Procedure.  Similar  advance notice
must be given of any other  proposed  business  which a stockholder  proposes to
bring before an annual meeting of  stockholders.  Such notice must contain (i) a
brief  description of the business  desired to be brought before the meeting and
the reasons

                                       59


<PAGE>
for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and record address of
the stockholder  proposing such business,  (iii) the class, series and number of
shares of the  Company's  stock  which are held of record,  beneficially  and by
proxy by the  stockholder  as of the record date of such meeting (if such record
date  is  publicly  available)  and  as of  the  date  of  such  notice,  (iv) a
description of all  arrangements or  understandings  between the stockholder and
any other person or persons  (naming such person or persons) in connection  with
the proposing of such business by the stockholder, and (v) any material interest
of the stockholder in such business.  The purpose of requiring advance notice is
to afford the Board of Directors an opportunity  to consider the  qualifications
of the proposed  nominees or the merits of other  stockholder  proposals and, to
the extent deemed  necessary or desirable by the Board of  Directors,  to inform
stockholders about those matters.  Although the advance notice provisions do not
give the Board of Directors any power to approve or  disapprove  of  stockholder
nominations or proposals for action by the Company,  they may have the effect of
precluding  a contest for the  election of  directors  or the  consideration  of
stockholder  proposals  if the  procedures  established  by the  By-laws are not
followed  and of  discouraging  or  deterring  a third party from  conducting  a
solicitation  of proxies to elect its own slate of  directors  or to approve its
own  proposals,  without  regard to whether  consideration  of such  nominees or
proposals might be harmful or beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

   Anti-Takeover  Effects.  The foregoing provisions of the Restated Certificate
and By-laws could discourage potential  acquisition proposals and could delay or
prevent a change in control of the  Company.  These  provisions  are intended to
enhance the  continuity and stability of the Board of Directors and the policies
formulated  by the  Board  of  Directors  and to  discourage  certain  types  of
transactions  that may involve an actual or threatened  change in control of the
Company.  These provisions are also designed to reduce the  vulnerability of the
Company to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics
that may be used in proxy fights.  However, such provisions may discourage third
parties from making  tender offers for the Company's  shares.  As a result,  the
market  price of the Common  Stock may not benefit  from any premium  that might
occur in  anticipation  of a  threatened  or  actual  change  in  control.  Such
provisions  also may have the effect of preventing  changes in the management of
the Company. See "Risk Factors -- Effect of Certain Anti-Takeover Provisons."

DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

   Under Section 203 of the DGCL (the  "Delaware  anti-takeover  law"),  certain
"business  combinations" between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is
publicly  traded  or held of  record  by more  than  2,000  stockholders  and an
"interested  stockholder"  are prohibited for a three-year  period following the
date that such  stockholder  became an  interested  stockholder,  unless (i) the
corporation has elected in its certificate of  incorporation or bylaws not to be
governed by the  Delaware  anti-takeover  law (the  Company has not made such an
election),  (ii)  either  the  business  combination  or the  transaction  which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an "interested stockholder" was approved by
the board of directors of the corporation before the other party to the business
combination  became an interested  stockholder,  (iii) upon  consummation of the
transaction that made it an interested  stockholder,  the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting  stock of the  corporation  outstanding  at the
commencement of the transaction  (excluding  voting stock owned by directors who
are also officers and stock held in employee  stock plans in which the employees
do not have a right to determine  confidentially whether to tender or vote stock
held by the plan), or (iv) the business combination was approved by the board of
directors of the  corporation  and ratified by 66 2/3% of the voting stock which
the  interested  stockholder  did not own. The three-year  prohibition  does not
apply to certain  business  combinations  proposed by an interested  stockholder
following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions
involving  the  corporation  and  a  person  who  had  not  been  an  interested
stockholder  during  the  previous  three  years  or who  became  an  interested
stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation's  directors. The
term  "business   combination"  is  defined  generally  to  include  mergers  or
consolidations  between a Delaware  corporation  and an interested  stockholder,
transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the
corporation or its  majority-owned  subsidiaries and transactions which increase
an interested  stockholder's percentage ownership of stock. The term "interested
stockholder"  is defined  generally as a stockholder  who becomes the beneficial
owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation's voting stock. Section 203 could
have the effect of delaying,  deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

   The Company's  Restated  Certificate  provides that  directors of the Company
shall not be personally  liable to the Company or its  stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or  omissions  not in good  faith  or  which  involve  intentional
misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,  (iii) for the  unlawful  payment of
dividends or unlawful  stock  repurchases  under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the
same exists or  hereinafter  may be amended,  or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derives an improper personal benefit.  The provision does not
apply to claims  against a director for  violations of certain  laws,  including
federal  securities  laws.  If the DGCL is  amended  to  authorize  the  further
elimination  or  limitation  of  directors'  liability,  then the  liability  of
directors of the Company shall  automatically  be limited to the fullest  extent
provided by law. The  Company's  Restated  Certificate  and By-laws also contain
provisions requiring the Company to indemnify the directors, officers, employees
or other agents to the fullest  extent  permitted by the DGCL. In addition,  the
Company has entered into  indemnification  agreements with its current directors
and executive  officers.  These provisions and agreements may have the practical
effect in certain cases of eliminating  the ability of  stockholders  to collect
monetary  damages from directors.  The Company  believes that these  contractual
agreements  and the  provisions  in its  Restated  Certificate  and  By-laws are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

TRANSFER AGENT

   The Transfer  Agent for the Common Stock is American  Stock  Transfer & Trust
Company.

                         SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

   Prior to this offering,  there has been no public market for the Common Stock
of the Company,  and no  prediction  can be made as to the effect,  if any, that
market sales of shares or the  availability of such shares for sale will have on
the market  price of the Common  Stock  prevailing  from time to time.  Sales of
substantial  amounts of Common Stock,  or the  perception  that such sales could
occur,  could adversely  affect the prevailing  market price of the Common Stock
and  the  ability  of the  Company  to  raise  capital  through  a  sale  of its
securities.

   Upon completion of this offering,  the Company will have 8,061,000  shares of
Common Stock outstanding  (9,040,500 shares if the Underwriters'  over-allotment
option is exercised in full). Of those shares, the 6,530,000 shares sold in this
offering  (7,509,500  shares  if  the  Underwriters'  over-allotment  option  is
exercised in full) will be freely tradeable  without  restriction  (except as to
affiliates of the Company) or further registration under the Securities Act.

   In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, a
person (or persons  whose  shares are  aggregated)  who has  beneficially  owned
restricted  securities within the meaning of Rule 144 ("Restricted  Securities")
for at least two years,  and  including  the  holding  period of any prior owner
except an affiliate,  would be entitled to sell within any three-month  period a
number of shares  that does not  exceed the  greater of one  percent of the then
outstanding  shares of Common Stock or the average  weekly trading volume of the
Common  Stock  on the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated
Quotation System during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under
Rule  144  are  also  subject  to  certain  manner  of sale  provisions,  notice
requirements  and the  availability  of  current  public  information  about the
Company.  Any person (or persons whose shares are  aggregated) who is not deemed
to have been an  affiliate  of the Company at any time  during the three  months
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years
(including any period of ownership of preceding  non-affiliated  holders), would
be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k)  without  regard to the volume
limitations,  manner of sale  provisions,  public  information  requirements  or
notice  requirements.  An "affiliate"  is a person that directly,  or indirectly
through one or more  intermediaries,  controls,  or is  controlled  by, or under
common control with, such issuer.

   Rule 144A under the Securities Act as currently in effect  generally  permits
unlimited resales of certain  Restricted  Securities of any issuer provided that
the  purchaser  is  a  qualified   institution   that  owns  and  invests  on  a
discretionary  basis at least $100 million in  securities  (and in the case of a
bank or savings and loan  association,  has a net worth of at least $25 million)
or is a registered  broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis
at least $10 million in  securities.  Rule 144A allows IHS to sell its shares of
Common Stock held prior to this  offering to such  institutions  and  registered
broker-dealers without regard to any volume or other restrictions.  There can be
no assurance  that the  availability  of such resale  exemption will not have an
adverse effect on the trading price of the Common Stock.
   
   The Company,  its  directors and officers and IHS have agreed not to offer to
sell, sell,  distribute,  grant any option to purchase,  pledge,  hypothecate or
otherwise  dispose of,  directly or  indirectly,  any shares of Common  Stock or
securities  convertible  into, or exercisable  or  exchangeable  for,  shares of
Common Stock owned by them prior to the  expiration of 180 days from the date of
this  Prospectus,  except (i) with the prior written consent of the Smith Barney
Inc.,  (ii) in the case of the  Company,  for the  issuance  of shares of Common
Stock  upon the  exercise  of  outstanding  options,  or the grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's stock option plans, (iii) in
the  case of the  directors  and  executive  officers  of the  Company,  for the
exercise by such  individuals  of  outstanding  options and (iv) for the sale of
shares in this  offering.  Beginning in January 1998, IHS may sell all 1,531,000
of its shares of Common  Stock  subject to the volume and other  limitations  of
Rule  144.  The  Commission  has  proposed  an  amendment  to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act which, if adopted as currently proposed, would permit the sale of
such  1,531,000  shares of Common Stock held by IHS beginning 181 days after the
date of this Prospectus, rather than January 1998 (i.e., after the expiration of
the "lock-up" period), subject to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144.
    
   IHS has the  right to  include  its  shares  in any  future  registration  of
securities  effected by the Company under the Securities  Act. If the Company is
required  to  include in a  Company-initiated  registration  shares  held by IHS
pursuant to the exercise of its piggyback  registration  rights,  such sales may
have an adverse  effect on the Company's  ability to raise needed  capital.  See
"Risk  Factors  --  Shares  Eligible  for  Future  Sale;  Registration  Rights,"
"Principal  and  Selling  Stockholders"  and  "Description  of Capital  Stock --
Registration Rights."

   The Company intends to file registration  statements under the Securities Act
registering  the shares of Common Stock  reserved for issuance upon the exercise
of options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and the Non-Employee  Director
Stock Option Plan and the options  granted to the  non-employee  directors.  See
"Management -- Stock Options." These registration  statements are expected to be
filed  soon  after  the  date of  this  Prospectus  and  will  become  effective
automatically   upon  filing.   Accordingly,   shares   registered   under  such
registration  statements  will be available for sale in the open market,  unless
such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with the Company.

                                  UNDERWRITING

   Under the terms and subject to the conditions  contained in the  Underwriting
Agreement  dated the date hereof,  each  Underwriter  named below has  severally
agreed to  purchase,  and the  Company  and IHS have each agreed to sell to such
Underwriter,  shares of Common  Stock which equal the number of shares set forth
opposite the name of such Underwriter below.

                                                     ============

   The  Underwriting  Agreement  provides  that the  obligations  of the several
Underwriters  to pay for and  accept  delivery  of the  shares of  Common  Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval of certain legal matters by their counsel
and to certain other conditions.  The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay
for all shares of Common Stock  offered  hereby (other than those covered by the
over-allotment option described below) if any such shares are taken.

   The Underwriters, for whom Smith Barney Inc., Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
and  Donaldson,  Lufkin &  Jenrette  Securities  Corporation  are  acting as the
representatives (the "Representatives"),  propose initially to offer part of the
shares of Common Stock  directly to the public at the public  offering price set
forth on the cover  page  hereof  and part to  certain  dealers  at a price that
represents a concession  not in excess of $ per share under the public  offering
price. The  Underwriters  may allow, and such dealers may reallow,  a concession
not in excess of $ per share to other Underwriters and to certain other dealers.
After  the  initial  public  offering,   the  public  offering  price  and  such
concessions  may  be  changed  by the  Underwriters.  The  Representatives  have
informed the Company that the Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any
accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

   The Company has granted to the  Underwriters  an option,  exercisable  for 30
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 979,500
additional  shares of Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page hereof less underwriting discounts and commissions.  The Underwriters
may exercise such option to purchase additional shares solely for the purpose of
covering  over-allotments,  if any,  incurred in connection with the sale of the
shares offered hereby. To the extent such option is exercised,  each Underwriter
will become obligated,  subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately
the same  percentage of such  additional  shares as the number set forth next to
such  Underwriter's  name in the  preceding  table bears to the total  number of
shares in such table.

   The Company and IHS have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities under the Securities Act.

   The Company,  its  directors  and  officers  and IHS have agreed that,  for a
period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the
prior written  consent of Smith Barney Inc.,  sell,  offer to sell,  contract to
sell or  otherwise  dispose  of any  shares  of Common  Stock or any  securities
convertible  into,  or  exercisable  or  exchangeable  for, any shares of Common
Stock, other than, in the case of the Company, grants of options pursuant to the
Company's stock option plans.  Smith Barney Inc. may, in its sole discretion and
at any time without  prior  notice,  release all or any portion of the shares of
Common Stock subject to the "lock-up" agreements.

   Prior to this  offering,  there has not been any public market for the Common
Stock. Consequently,  the initial public offering price for the shares of Common
Stock  will  be  determined  by  negotiations  among  the  Company,  IHS and the
Representatives.  Among the factors to be considered in  determining  such price
will be the history of and prospects for the Company's business and the industry
in which it competes,  an assessment of the Company's  management,  its past and
present  operations,  its  past  and  present  earnings  and the  trend  of such
earnings, the prospects for earnings of the Company, the present

state of the  Company's  development,  the general  condition of the  securities
market at the time of this  offering  and the  market  prices  and  earnings  of
similar  securities  of comparable  companies at the time of the  offering.  The
estimated  initial  public  offering  price range set forth on the cover page of
this Prospectus is subject to change as a result of market  conditions and other
factors.  See "Risk Factors -- No Prior Public  Market;  Possible  Volatility of
Stock Price."

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

   Certain  legal  matters  with  respect to the legality of the issuance of the
shares of Common  Stock  offered  hereby  will be passed upon for the Company by
Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.,  New York, New York.  Certain legal matters will be
passed upon for the Underwriters by Dewey Ballantine, New York, New York.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integrated Living Communities, Inc.:

We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Integrated
Living  Communities,  Inc. and subsidiaries  (wholly-owned by Integrated  Health
Services,  Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholder's equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  1995.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Integrated Living
Communities,  Inc. and subsidiaries (wholly-owned by Integrated Health Services,
Inc.) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of their  operations  and
their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements,  in 1995 the Company
adopted the provisions of the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

   In November 1995,  Integrated Living  Communities,  Inc. (ILC or the Company)
was formed through a corporate reorganization whereby the assets and liabilities
of the  Integrated  Living  Communities  Division  (the  Division) of Integrated
Health  Services,  Inc. (IHS or the Parent  Company) were  transferred or leased
from IHS  subsidiaries to ILC and its  subsidiaries.  ILC was formerly  Kingsley
Place  Retirement,  Inc. until its present name was adopted in January 1996. The
consolidated  financial  statements of the Company represent the accounts of the
assisted living and other senior living  facilities  comprising the Division and
operating within the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of IHS:

   Two of the  Company's  facilities  are  located on campuses  containing  both
assisted-living  facilities and  skilled-nursing  facilities which share certain
operating  expenses.  The facilities are owned by  subsidiaries  of IHS and have
been leased to the Company (see note 5). Effective June 1, 1996, the Company and
an IHS  subsidiary  entered  into  separate  condominium  agreements  and shared
services agreements for these facilities as discussed in note 14. Allocations of
various operating  expenses have been made by IHS on a monthly basis in order to
present the separate  operating expenses of the  assisted-living  facilities and
skilled-nursing  facilities.  The accompanying  financial statements reflect the
revenues   and   expenses   (including   such   allocations)   related   to  the
assisted-living facilities only.

   The consolidated  financial statements reflect the historical accounts of the
assisted  living and other senior living  facilities,  including  allocations of
general  and  administrative  expenses  from  the IHS  corporate  office  to the
individual  facilities.  Such  corporate  office  allocations,  calculated  as a
percentage of revenue,  are based on determinations  that management believes to
be  reasonable.  However,  IHS has operated  certain  other  businesses  and has
provided  certain  services  to  the  Company,   including   financial,   legal,
accounting,  human  resources and  information  systems  services.  Accordingly,
expense  allocations to the Company may not be  representative  of costs of such
services  to be  incurred in the future  (see note 7).  Also,  the  consolidated
financial statements reflect adjustments made by IHS to establish a new basis of
accounting  for the assets and  liabilities  of businesses  acquired,  using the
"push down" approach to accounting for business  combinations under the purchase
method.  The effect of these  adjustments  was to increase the cost of goodwill,
property, plant and equipment by approximately $6.2 million at December 31, 1995
(before the loss on impairment  of  long-lived  assets (note 12) and to increase
depreciation and amortization expense by $13,000 in 1993 and $140,000 in each of
1994 and 1995.

   Revenue Recognition

   Resident  units are rented on a month to month basis and monthly  service fee
revenue is recognized in the months the units are occupied. Service fees paid by
residents for  assisted-living  and other related services are recognized in the
period such services are rendered as other revenue. In some cases,  residents of
the Waterside  Retirement Estates facility have entered into life-care contracts
whereby the resident pays an entrance fee as well as a monthly rental payment.

   Under most life-care  contracts  (membership  agreements),  entrance fees are
partially refundable to the resident.  The minimum refund amount pursuant to the
resident's  membership  agreement  (generally  50% of the total entrance fee) is
payable to the resident or the resident's  estate within 120 days of termination
of the agreement, which may occur at any time after 30 days notice. In addition,
a portion of the  remainder  of the  entrance  fee is payable if the contract is
terminated  within 24 months of  move-in,  determined  on a  declining  pro rata
basis. The minimum refund amount and the estimated amount of the remainder which
is  expected  to be  refunded  based  on past  experience  of the  facility  are
accounted for as refundable  deposit  liabilities.  The remaining  amount of the
entrance fees is accounted for as deferred  revenue under the caption  "unearned
entrance  fees." Such  deferred  revenue is  amortized to  operations  of future
periods based on the estimated life of the resident,  adjusted annually based on
the actuarially determined estimated remaining life expectancy of each resident,
on the straight-line method. Unamortized deferred revenue is recorded as revenue
upon the  resident's  death or contract  termination.  Earned  entrance  fees on
life-care  contracts  were  $87,675 in 1993,  $679,319 in 1994,  and $680,409 in
1995.

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  and amortization of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>                            <C>
Building and improvements ...  40 years
Land improvements............  25 years
Equipment....................  10 years
Leasehold improvements.......  Term of the lease

</TABLE>

   Income Taxes

   The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). The Company was not a
separate taxable entity during the three years ended December 31, 1995; however,
under SFAS 109 the current and deferred tax expense has been allocated among the
members of the IHS  controlled  corporate  group  including  the Company and its
subsidiaries.

   Under the asset and  liability  method of SFAS 109,  deferred  tax assets and
liabilities  are  recognized  for the future tax  consequences  attributable  to
differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and  liabilities  and their  respective  tax  bases.  Deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be
recovered  or settled.  Under SFAS 109,  the effect on  deferred  tax assets and
liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash  equivalents  consist  of  highly  liquid  instruments  with an
original  maturity of three  months or less.  Under a cash  management  facility
provided by the Parent  Company,  the Company's  operating  cash balances of the
facilities  are generally  transferred  to a centralized  account and applied to
reduce  additional  paid-in capital.  The Company's cash needs for operating and
other purposes are similarly  provided through an increase to additional paid-in
capital.  However,  in 1994 and 1995 the Waterside  Retirement  Estates facility
transferred cash to the Parent Company only to the extent needed to satisfy cash
needs  for   operating   expenses.   The  excess  of  cash  receipts  over  cash
disbursements  of this  facility is reflected  in the cash and cash  equivalents
account as of December 31, 1994 and 1995.

   Obligation to Provide Future Services

   For life-care contracts, the Company annually calculates the present value of
the net cost of future  service and use of  facilities to be provided to current
residents  and  compares  that amount with the balance of deferred  revenue from
entrance fees. If the present value of the net cost of future service and use of
facilities  exceeds the  deferred  revenue  from  entrance  fees, a liability is
recorded  (obligation to provide  future  service and use of facilities)  with a
corresponding charge to income.

   Earnings per Common Share

   Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the  periods.  Common  stock
equivalents  include options to purchase  common stock,  assumed to be exercised
using the treasury stock method.  Outstanding shares  retroactively  reflect the
stock split referred to in note 10.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other
current assets, other assets,  assets limited as to use funds, accounts payable,
and accrued expenses  approximate fair value because of the short-term  maturity
of these instruments.

   The carrying  amounts of refundable  deposits may not approximate  fair value
since these  liabilities  are not  short-term  in nature.  However,  since these
liabilities do not have specified maturity dates,  management believes it is not
practicable to determine their fair value.

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

   Management  regularly  evaluates  whether events or changes in  circumstances
have  occurred  that could  indicate an  impairment  in the value of  long-lived
assets. In December 1995, as part of a company wide adoption by IHS, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and
for Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of." In accordance  with the provisions of
SFAS No. 121, if there is an indication  that the carrying  value of an asset is
not  recoverable,  the  Company  determines  the  amount of  impairment  loss by
comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair value. If an
asset tested for recoverability was acquired in a business combination accounted
for using the purchase  method,  the related goodwill is included as part of the
carrying value in  determining  recoverability  of that asset.  Goodwill also is
evaluated for  recoverability  by estimating  the  projected  undiscounted  cash
flows, excluding interest, of the related business activities, and any excess of
carrying value over such estimates is written off.

   In  addition to  consideration  of  impairment  upon the events or changes in
circumstances  described  above,  management  regularly  evaluates the remaining
lives of its long-lived assets. If estimates are changed,  the carrying value of
affected assets is allocated over the remaining  lives.  Estimation of value and
future  benefits of intangible  assets is made based upon the related  projected
undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest payments.

   Interim Financial Information

   
   The unaudited  consolidated financial information as of June 30, 1996 and for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 has been prepared in conformity with
the  accounting  principles  and  practices  reflected in the audited  financial
statements  included  herein.  In the  opinion  of the  Company,  the  unaudited
consolidated  financial information contain all adjustments  (consisting of only
normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  Company's
financial  position,  results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for the  periods
indicated.
     

(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

   During the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, IHS acquired six of the
seven  assisted-living  and other senior living facilities which are included in
the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995. Each acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of
the acquired  facilities  were  recorded at their  estimated  fair  values.  The
results of  operations  of the  facilities  acquired  have been  included in the
consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of the acquisitions.

   On December 1, 1993,  IHS  acquired  100% of the common stock of Central Park
Lodges,  Inc. (CPL). Among the facilities  acquired in this transaction was West
Palm Beach,  a 120-bed  skilled  nursing  facility  and 34 unit  assisted-living
facility.  The Company leases the  assisted-living  portion of the facility from
IHS (see notes 5 and 14).

   In connection  with the December 1, 1993  acquisition  of CPL, IHS originally
obtained the 60.5% controlling  interests in two  partnerships,  Lakehouse East,
which owns and operates a retirement  facility  including an assisted care wing,
21 garden apartments and 18 villas,  and Lakehouse West, which owns and operates
an adjacent  retirement  facility  consisting  of a single  building.  The 39.5%
minority  partners  subsequently  filed a suit against IHS and CPL alleging that
the  CPL  acquisition  triggered  a  provision  in  the  partnership  agreements
requiring the sale of the minority  interests in the partnership.  Settlement of
the suit was subsequently  reached pursuant to a Partition Agreement between the
parties.  Under  this  agreement,  an IHS  subsidiary  became  the sole owner of
Lakehouse East and the former minority  partners became the sole partners of the
partnership  which is the sole owner of Lakehouse  West.  These events have been
accounted for as if the settlement had occurred  effective as of the December 1,
1993  acquisition  date.  Accordingly,  the  financial  statements  include  the
operations of Lakehouse  East and exclude the  operations of Lakehouse West from
December 1, 1993.

   On March 18, 1994 IHS acquired The Homestead,  a 50 unit  assisted-living and
adult daycare facility for a total cost of  approximately  $1.3 million adjusted
for certain accrued liabilities,  prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. Prior
to the purchase IHS had managed the facility  under a management  agreement with
the prior owner.

   On August  31,  1994  Integrated  Health  Services  of Lester,  Inc.,  an IHS
subsidiary, entered into separate facility operating leases for the 260-unit The
Shores and 95-unit  Cheyenne Place  facilities.  Integrated  Health  Services of
Lester, Inc. leases these facilities, including the related equipment, furniture
and fixtures, and subleases them to the Company (see note 5.)

   On December 15, 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington  Pointe, a 172 unit congregate
care and assisted-living facility for a total cost of approximately $11,900,000.
Prior to the  acquisition,  IHS had  managed  the  facility  under a  management
agreement with the prior owner.  The  acquisition  was recorded  effective as of
December 31, 1995;  accordingly,  results of operations for the period  December
15, 1995 to December 31, 1995 are not included in the financial statements.  The
effect of not including this period is not material to the results of operations
of the Company.  The assets acquired and liabilities  assumed have been adjusted
to reflect the new basis of accounting and are included in the December 31, 1995
balance sheet of the Company.

   The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the results of
operations  as  if  the  acquisitions   described  above,  certain  acquisitions
consumated  subsequent  to December 31, 1995 and certain  probable  acquisitions
(see note 14) had been  consummated as of January 1, 1994,  after  including the
effect of certain  adjustments  such as  depreciation on the new basis of assets
acquired.   The  pro  forma  amounts  also  include   adjustments  to  corporate
administrative  and  general  expenses to reflect  management's  estimate of the
increase  in such costs as if the Company had  operated on a  stand-alone  basis
during these years.

(3) ASSETS LIMITED AS TO USE

   
   A portion of the  entrance  fee  deposits on  life-care  contracts is held in
escrow pursuant to Section 651.035 of the statutes of the state of Florida. Such
minimum liquid reserve funds consist of cash equivalents that are required to be
maintained  by  continuing  care  facilities.  Balances in such reserve funds of
$626,618 and $657,126 at December  31, 1994 and 1995,  respectively,  exceed the
required  minimum  liquid  reserves  at such  dates.  The  remainder  represents
entrance fee deposits held by a trustee pursuant to Florida law.

the subleases is seven years and provide for various renewal terms at the option
of ILC at fair market rentals.  Prior to June 1, 1996, the Company was allocated
rentals based on the lease between  Litchfield Asset Management  Corporation and
IHS. Rent expense  included in the financial  statements  under these leases was
none in 1993,  $467,091 in 1994 and  $1,401,271  in 1995.  Minimum rent payments

   The  provision  for Federal  and state  income  taxes is  recorded  using the
overall  effective tax rate of the  consolidated  group applied to the Company's
pre-tax earnings before  adjustment for permanent  differences.  Deferred income
tax (assets)  liabilities  are recorded for the Company's  temporary  difference
using the same effective tax rate. The  difference  between the total  provision
for income  tax and the  deferred  income  tax  provision,  both  determined  as
discussed above, represents income taxes currently payable to the parent company
and has been  accounted for as  additional  paid-in  capital.  The provision for
income taxes,  deferred income taxes and income taxes currently payable may vary
from such amounts that would have been computed on a stand-alone basis.
     

(7) OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Corporate  administrative and general expenses represent  management fees for
certain services,  including financial,  legal, accounting,  human resources and
information systems services,  provided by IHS pursuant to a management services
agreement.  Management  fees have been provided at 6% of total  revenues of each
facility,  except for the Lakehouse East partnership facility which has provided
management  fees  at  9%  of  monthly  service  fees  revenue  pursuant  to  the
partnership  agreement in effect for the period from December 1, 1993 to October
31, 1995 (of which  approximately  $224,000  was paid to an IHS  subsidiary  and
approximately $224,000 was paid to the other partner).

   Management  fees charged by IHS at 6% of total revenues have been  determined
based on an allocation of IHS's corporate general and  administrative  expenses,
which apply to all IHS divisions,  including the Integrated  Living  Communities
Division.  Such  allocation  has been made because  specific  identification  of
expenses is not practicable.  Management believes that this allocation method is
reasonable.   However,   management   estimates  that  the  Company's  corporate
administrative  and general expenses on a stand alone basis (i.e.  expenses that
would have been incurred if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated  entity)
would have been approximately $3.9 million in 1995.

(9) NOTE RECEIVABLE


   Integrated  Living  Communities  Retirement   Management,   Inc.  (ILCRM),  a
subsidiary  of the  Company,  entered into loan and  security  agreements  dated
August  7,  1995 and  amended  on  February  29,  1996 and July 9,  1996 with an
individual,  the  president  of  Elderly  Development  Company,  Inc.  Under the
agreements,  ILCRM has agreed to loan up to $1,000,000  to the  individual at an
annual interest rate of 11.75%.  The balance of the loan at December 31, 1995 of
$130,000  is  included  in other  assets.  The  loan is for the  pre-development
activities  of five  assisted  living  facilities  in  California.  The loan and
security  agreement  provide  that ILCRM is entitled to the  exclusive  right to
manage the facilities upon the completion of construction.  Also, the individual
has assigned the rights related to real estate purchase agreements to ILCRM. The
loan and security agreements provide ILCRM a security interest in the borrower's
pre-development   plans,   land  contracts,   and  all  licenses,   permits  and
governmental  approvals.  The principal balance of the loan, and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, is payable on demand.
    

(10) CAPITAL STOCK

   As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the Company was  authorized to issue up to
1,000 shares of common  stock,  $.01 par value,  of which 100 shares were issued
and outstanding.  In June 1996, the Company's  certificate of incorporation  was
restated to  increase  the  authorized  shares to  100,000,000  shares of common
stock,  $.01 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,  $.01 par value.
Also, the Company effected a 49,610-for-one common stock split (in the form of a
stock  dividend).  Share and per share  data for all  periods  presented  in the
financial  statements  give  retroactive  effect to the  revised  shares and the
common stock split referred to above.  Accordingly,  4,961,000  shares of common
stock are  reflected  as issued and  outstanding  during the three  years  ended
December 31, 1995.

   The preferred  stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
determined  by the Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue the shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences,  privileges and restrictions  thereof,  including  dividend rights,
dividend  rates,   conversion  rights,   voting  rights,  terms  of  redemption,
redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series,  without further vote or action by
the stockholders.  The preferred stock could be issued by the Board of Directors
with voting and conversion  rights that could adversely  affect the voting power
and other rights of the holders of the common  Stock.  In addition,  because the
terms of the  preferred  stock  may be fixed by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Company without  stockholder action, the preferred stock could be issued quickly
with terms calculated to defeat or delay a proposed takeover of the Company,  or
to make the removal of the management of the Company more difficult.

   The Company has adopted two stock  option  plans.  The Stock  Incentive  Plan
provides for options to be granted to certain  employees and  consultants  at an
exercise  price per share not less than 100% of fair market value at the date of
grant (110% in certain cases). In addition, the Company adopted a Stock

                              F-16



<PAGE>
            INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES -
        (Wholly-Owned by Integrated Health Services, Inc.) (Continued)

   
Option Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors which provides for the grant of options
at an exercise  price per share  equal to the fair  market  value on the date of
grant.  The Board of Directors has  authorized the issuance of 694,150 shares of
common stock under the plans.  Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 565,500
shares of common stock under the Stock  Incentive Plan have been granted through
June 30,  1996.  On June 10,  1996,  stock  options to purchase an  aggregate of
515,000 shares of Common Stock in three equal installments,  commencing June 10,
1997, were granted to five directors of the Company.
     

(11) LIFE-CARE CONTRACTS

   The obligation under life-care contracts to provide future service and use of
facilities is calculated as the present value of the net future  service and use
costs.  Unamortized  deferred revenue exceeded the net present value of such net
costs at December 31, 1994 and 1995;  accordingly,  there was no future  service
liability  recorded in connection  with the life-care  contracts at December 31,
1994 and 1995.

   In accordance  with the  contractual  arrangements  under  certain  life-care
contracts,  a minimum amount  (generally  50%) of the entrance fee is refundable
and a portion of the entrance fee is  refundable  if the contract is  terminated
within  a  specified  time  period   (potentially   refundable  entrance  fees).
Refundable   deposits   represent  the  minimum  refunds  under  the  membership
agreements and the estimated  amount  expected to be refunded of the potentially
refundable  entrance fees, based on past experience with contract  terminations.
Potentially  refundable entrance fees were $871,270 and $882,779 at December 31,
1994 and 1995, respectively,  of which $187,281 and $215,627,  respectively,  is
included in refundable deposits;  the remainder is included in unearned entrance
fees. Refunds paid were $62,275 for the period from December 1, 1993 to December
31, 1993,  $370,769 in 1994, and $707,367 in 1995,  including minimum refunds of
$62,275 in 1993, $343,819 in 1994 and $553,213 in 1995.

(12) LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

   
   The Company implemented  Financial  Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121 in connection with the Parent Company's
implementation in 1995. Through  evaluation of the recent financial  performance
and a recent appraisal of one of its facilities,  the Company estimated the fair
value of this  facility  and  determined  that  the  carrying  value of  certain
long-lived  assets,   including  goodwill,  land,  buildings  and  improvements,
exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying  value of $5,125,838 (of which
$1,533,152 represented goodwill and $3,592,686  represented property,  buildings
and improvements) was written off and is included in the statement of operations
for 1995 as a loss on impairment of long-lived assets.
     

(13) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company is involved in various legal  proceedings  that are incidental to
the conduct of its  business.  Management  believes  that pending or  threatened
legal  proceedings  will  have  no  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

(14) EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1995

   Acquisitions

   On January 29, 1996,  an IHS  subsidiary  purchased  the Vintage  Health Care
Center,  a  110-unit  skilled  nursing,  43-unit  assisted-living  and a 62-unit
congregate care facility located in Denton, Texas and leased the assisted living
and Congregate  care portion to the Company.  The Company and the IHS subsidiary
subsequently  entered into a condominium  agreement (discussed more fully below)
for  the  Vintage   Facility   whereby  the  Company   owns  and   operates  the
assisted-living  and  congregate  care  portion  and IHS owns and  operates  the
skilled-nursing  portion. Between January 29, 1996 and the effective date of the
condominium  agreement  (June 1,  1996),  ILC  leased  the  assisted  living and
congregate care portion from IHS at a monthly rental of $35,000.

        (Wholly-Owned by Integrated Health Services, Inc.) (Continued)

   Effective  June 1, 1996,  the  Company  and an IHS  subsidiary  entered  into
separate condominium agreements and shared services agreements for the West Palm
Beach, Treemont and Vintage facilities whereby the Company owns and operates the
assisted  living and  congregate  care  portions  and IHS owns and  operates the
skilled-nursing  portion of the facilities.  Previously,  these  facilities were
leased from IHS. In connection with the condominium agreements, IHS made capital
contributions of approximately  $27.2 million,  representing the lesser of IHS's
carryover basis in the assisted living and congregate care assets contributed or
the estimated fair market value of such assets based on independent  appraisals.
The capital  contributions were $2,260,000 for West Palm Beach,  $21,450,000 for
Treemont and $3,460,000 for Vintage. The Company cannot transfer its condominium
interest  without  the  prior  consent  of IHS.  The IHS  facility  in which the
Treemont facility is located is subject to a mortgage. Should IHS default on its
obligations under the mortgage, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage which
could materially adversely affect the Company's business,  results of operations
and financial condition.

   Shared services  agreements  require that IHS provide laundry,  housekeeping,
building  maintenance,  landscaping,  emergency  call  services  and common area
maintenance  for a combined  total of $61,482 per month.  In addition,  IHS will
provide dietary  services to the Company for between $8 and $10 per resident per
day.  Utilities  and real estate costs will be allocated  among the  condominium
units according to pre-defined percentages. Finally, at the Vintage, IHS and the
Company  will share the  services of the  executive  director;  the Company will
reimburse IHS for 30% of the  executive  director's  salary,  benefits and other
expenses.

   
   Effective  July 1, 1996,  the  Company  entered  into a lease  agreement  for
Homestead  of Garden City, a 35 unit  assisted  living  facility in Garden City,
Kansas.  Effective July 17, 1996, the Company entered into a lease agreement for
Homestead of Wichita,  a 35 unit assisted  living  facility  located in Wichita,
Kansas.  The initial term of each lease is 15 years with three five-year renewal
options. Annual rent under each lease is $287,500, subject to increases based on
the consumer price index.

   The Company has entered into agreements to purchase two  assisted-living  and
other senior living facilities for an aggregate  purchase price of approximately
$14.9  million.  The Cabot Pointe asset purchase is scheduled to close in August
1996,  with funds provided by IHS. The Company  expects to sell Cabot Pointe and
lease it back from a real estate  investment  trust  immediately  following  the
acquisition.  The Terrace  Gardens asset  purchase  acquisition  is scheduled to
close simultaneously with the initial public offering of ILC common stock. There
can be no assurance that these acquisitions and/or the sale/leaseback  financing
will close as scheduled or at all. A summary of the acquisitions is as follows:

   Integrated  Living  Communities  Retirement   Management,   Inc.  (ILCRM),  a
subsidiary of IHS and on behalf of the Division, entered into a Revolving Credit
and  Security  Agreement  and a  Revolving  Credit Note dated March 18, 1996 and
amended on July 12, 1996 with an assisted living facility  development  company,
The Homestead  Company,  L.C., a Kansas limited  liability  company.  Under such
agreement,  ILCRM has agreed to loan up to $1,000,000,  on a revolving basis, to
be used for the sole purpose of developing  four assisted  living  facilities in
Kansas and six facilities in Nebraska. The note shall bear interest at an annual
rate of 11.75%.  The Revolving  Credit and Security  Agreement  provides ILCRM a
security  interest  in  the  borrower's   interest  in  all  development  plans,
assignments  of land  contracts,  and all  licenses,  permits  and  governmental
approvals. The note is also secured by a $250,000 personal guar-

anty by the  president of The  Homestead  Company,  L.C. The entire  outstanding
principal balance of the loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest  thereon,  is
payable on demand.  Also, the individual has assigned the rights related to real
estate purchase agreements to ILCRM.

   Employment Agreements

   The Company has employment agreements with four of its officers which provide
annual base  salaries  aggregating  $765,000.  In addition,  the  officers  will
receive bonuses,  if the Company attains certain  performance  goals, as well as
health,  life,  disability,  and  personal  unbrella  insurance  and  an  annual
automobile  allowance.   The  agreements  provide  the  officers  the  right  to
participate in any executive retirement and equity-based  compensation  programs
established  by the Company in the discretion of the  Compensation  Committee of
the Board of Directors.

   Revolving Credit Note

   Effective  June 30, 1996, IHS has made available to the Company a $75 million
revolving  credit  facility.  Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the
rate of 14% per annum. All outstanding borrowings, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest,  are due at the earlier of (i) the closing of an initial public
offering  by ILC or (ii) June 30,  1998.  At June 30,  1996,  $3.4  million  was
outstanding  under this facility.  Borrowings under this facility have been used
to finance the Company's development activities.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

   F.L.C. Lakehouse,  Inc., Don Blivas, Janice Blivas, Fred Fiala, and John Rowe
d/b/a Lakehouse East (the "Partnership") is a partnership organized and existing
under  the  laws of  Florida.  The  principal  business  is the  management  and
maintenance of a life care facility. The financial statements include only those
assets,  liabilities  and results of operations  which relate to the business of
the Partnership. The statements do not include any assets, liabilities, revenues
or expenses attributable to the partners' individual activities.



                                                       Ownership Interests
                    Partners                             October 31, 1993

                                                           100.00%
                                                           ------

         On December 1, 1993,  100% of the common  stock of Central Park Lodges,
Inc.,  parent  company of F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc.,  was purchased by Integrated
Health Services,  Inc. ("IHS").  This transaction did not have any effect on the
accounts of the Partnership.

   The  acquisition  by IHS is subject to approval of the Florida  Department of
Insurance ("DOI"). IHS has applied to the DOI for approval, however, the DOI has
not acted on the  application.  IHS  expects  the  application  to be  approved,
however,  if it is disapproved,  the DOI could take action that would be adverse
to IHS and the Partnership  including revocation of the certificate of authority
for operation of the facility or require IHS to divest its ownership interest.

   The minority shareholders have filed suit against FLC Lakehouse, Inc. IHS and
others alleging among other matters that the acquisition of FLC Lakehouse,  Inc.
by IHS required the consent of the minority partners or that arrangements should
have been made to have the minority partners' interests also purchased. The case
is in the preliminary stages of discovery,  however, as it represents litigation
among the  partners,  it is not  expected  to have any  impact on the  financial
position of the partnership.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at historical cost.
Additions  and  betterments  that  extend the life of an asset are  capitalized.
Maintenance and repair  expenditures  are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation is
computed on the  straight-line  method based on the following  estimated  useful
lives:



                    Building and improvements ...  20-40 years
                    Furniture and equipment .....   5-10 years



   Unearned Entrance Fees and Refundable Deposits:  The Partnership accounts for
the  nonrefundable  portion  of  entrance  fees  related  to the sale of certain
residency and care agreements as "unearned  entrance fees" and recognizes income
from these fees over the estimated  remaining life  expectancy of each resident,
with the  life  expectancy  reevaluated  annually.  The  refundable  portion  is
accounted for as "refundable deposits" and is not amortized.  Residency and care
agreements  may be  terminated  by  residents at any time for any reason with 30
days notice. Within 120 days of termination, the minimum

                            LAKEHOUSE EAST
                                 (A Partnership)

                   Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

refund  amount per  contract of the total  entrance  fee will be refunded to the
resident or the  resident's  estate.  If the  contract is  terminated  within 24
months of  move-in,  the refunds  may be higher.  Payments  of such  refunds are
charged against the resident's  unamortized  entrance fee and refundable deposit
and any gain or loss is included in revenue or expense.

   Income Taxes:  The Partnership is not considered a taxable entity for Federal
and State income tax purposes. Any taxable income or losses,  investment credits
and certain other items,  therefore,  are the  responsibility of the partners on
their  income tax returns in  accordance  with the  partnership  agreement.  The
Partnership  uses a fiscal year ending  December  31, for  reporting  income tax
items to the partners.

3. ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED

   Assets  whose use is limited for  entrance  fee  deposits  held in escrow are
restricted by the statutes of the State of Florida.

   Assets whose use is limited for minimum liquid reserve funds consists of cash
and cash  equivalents  that are required to be  maintained  by  continuing  care
facilities in accordance with Section 651.035, Florida Statutes. The Partnership
has met its required minimum liquid reserves at October 31, 1993.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The following  transactions between the Partnership and related organizations
have been reflected in the financial statements:

   The Partnership  records expenses payable to a partner for management fees as
well as payroll costs, data processing fees and miscellaneous other charges paid
on behalf of the  Partnership.  Through  December 1993,  these advances from the
partner  were  charged  interest  at 2% above the prime  rate  (which  was 6% at
October 31, 1993).  The Partnership  recognized  $116,665 of interest expense in
the year ended October 31, 1993 related to these advances.

                        MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

(1) ORGANIZATION

   F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc., Don Blivas, Janice Blivas, Fred Fiala and John Rowe
d/b/a Lakehouse East (the "Partnership") is a partnership organized and existing
under the laws of the state of Florida. The principal business is the management
and  maintenance  of a 164-unit life care  facility.  The  financial  statements
include  only the  results of  operations  which  relate to the  business of the
Partnership. The ownership interests of the partners at November 30, 1993 are as
follows:




               F.L.C. Lakehouse, Inc...................   60.50%
               Donald Blivas...........................   16.50%
               Janice Blivas ..........................    9.00%
               John Rowe...............................    7.50%
               Fred Fiala..............................    6.50%
                                                         ------
                                                         100.00%
                                                         ======

   On December 1, 1993,  100% of the common stock of Central Park Lodges,  Inc.,
parent company of F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc.,  was purchased by Integrated  Health
Services,  Inc. ("IHS").  In connection with the December 1, 1993 acquisition of
CPL, IHS  originally  obtained the  controlling  interests in two  partnerships,
Lakehouse  East,  which owns and  operates a  retirement  facility  including an
assisted  care wing, 21 garden  apartments  and 18 villas,  and Lakehouse  West,
which owns and operates an adjacent  retirement  facility consisting of a single
building.  The 39.5% minority partners subsequently filed a suit against IHS and
CPL alleging that the CPL  acquisition  triggered a provision in the partnership
agreements  requiring  the sale of the minority  interests  in the  partnership.
Settlement  of  the  suit  was  subsequently  reached  pursuant  to a  Partition
Agreement  between the parties.  Under this agreement,  an IHS subsidiary became
the sole owner of Lakehouse  East and the former  minority  partners  became the
sole partners of the partnership which is the sole owner of Lakehouse West.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


   Revenue Recognition

   In some cases,  residents of the  Lakehouse  East  facility have entered into
life-care  contracts  whereby the  resident  pays an  entrance  fee as well as a
monthly rental payment.  Additionally,  residents pay a monthly service fee that
is  recognized  as revenue in the  period in which it is earned.  Other  revenue
represents charges for additional services.

   Under most life-care  contracts  (membership  agreements),  entrance fees are
partially refundable to the resident.  The minimum refund amount pursuant to the
resident's  membership  agreement  (generally  50% of the total entrance fee) is
payable to the resident or the resident's  estate within 120 days of termination
of the agreement, which may occur at any time after 30 days notice. In addition,
a portion of the  remainder  of the  entrance  fee is payable if the contract is
terminated  within 24 months of  move-in,  determined  on a  declining  pro rata
basis. The minimum refund amount and the estimated amount of the remainder which
is  expected  to be  refunded  based  on past  experience  of the  facility  are
accounted for as refundable  deposit  liabilities.  The remaining  amount of the
entrance fee is accounted for as deferred  revenue  under the caption  "unearned
entrance  fees." Such  deferred  revenue is  amortized to  operations  of future
periods based on the estimated life of the resident,  adjusted annually based on
the actuarially determined estimated remaining life expectancy of each resident,
on the straight-line method. Unamortized deferred revenue is recorded as revenue
upon the resident's death or contract termination.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Property and  equipment  are recorded at  historical  cost.  Depreciation  of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



          Buildings and improvements ...          20-40 years
          Furniture and equipment.......          5-10 years




   Use of Estimates


   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Income Taxes

   The  Partnership  is not  considered  a taxable  entity for Federal and state
income tax  purposes.  Any  taxable  income or losses,  investment  credits  and
certain other items, therefore,  are the responsibility of the partners on their
income tax returns in accordance with the partnership agreement. The Partnership
uses a fiscal year  ending  December  31 for  reporting  income tax items to the
partners.


(3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The following  transactions between the Partnership and related organizations
have been reflected in the financial statements.

   The Partnership  records expenses payable to a partner for management fees of
$17,519,  as well as payroll costs, data processing fees and miscellaneous other
charges paid on behalf of the Partnership.  During November 1993, these advances
from the partner were charged  interest at 2% above the prime rate (which was 6%
at November 30,  1993).  The  Partnership  recognized  approximately  $11,000 of
interest  expense for the one month  period  ended  November 30, 1993 related to
these advances.

   The  Partnership  shares  a  centralized  cash  account  with  an  affiliated
partnership,  Lakehouse  West,  which results in intercompany  balances  between
Lakehouse East and Lakehouse West.

Liberty/Carrington Pointe Limited Partnership:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of  operations  and cash flows of
Carrington  Pointe  (a  facility  owned  by  Liberty/Carrington  Pointe  Limited
Partnership)  for each of the years in the three-year  period ended December 31,
1995.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  facility's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the results of operations,  and cash flows of Carrington
Pointe (a facility owned by  Liberty/Carrington  Pointe Limited Partnership) for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1994 AND 1995

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

   Carrington  Pointe  (the  facility)  is a 172-unit  assisted-living  facility
located in Fresno,  California.  The facility  provides  various services to its
residents, including meals, social activities and other personal services.

   Liberty/Carrington  Pointe  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  is  a
partnership  organized and existing under the laws of  Massachusetts  which owns
and operates the Carrington Pointe facility.

   The partners' interest in the Partnership are as follows:


                                             Partnership     Ownership
          Partners                            Interest       Interests
          --------                            --------       ---------
Liberty Real Estate Properties, Inc. ...      General            1%
Atlantic Real Estate L.P................      Limited           99%
                                                               ---
                                                               100%
                                                               ===


   On December 15, 1995, a subsidiary of Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS)
acquired the facility from  Liberty/Carrington  Pointe Limited Partnership.  The
purchase  price was  approximately  $11,900,000  adjusted  for  certain  accrued
liabilities, prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. These financial statements
include no  adjustments  to establish a new basis of accounting for the facility
related to the change in ownership.

   IHS recorded the acquisition of Carrington Pointe as of December 31, 1995. In
connection with a corporate  reorganization  in 1996,  Carrington  Pointe is now
owned by a subsidiary  of  Integrated  Living  Communities,  Inc.  which is also
wholly-owned by IHS.

   Monthly Service Fees

   Resident units are rented on a month to month basis and rent is recognized in
the  months  the  units  are  occupied.  Service  fees  paid  by  residents  for
assisted-living  and other  related  services are  recognized in the period such
services are rendered as other revenue.

(A Facility Owned by Liberty/Carrington Pointe Limited Partnership)--(Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Depreciation  and  amortization  of property and equipment are computed using
the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets as
follows:

               Buildings and improvements ...  40 years
               Land improvements.............  25 years
               Furniture and equipment.......  10 years
               Vehicles .....................   5 years



   Income Taxes

   Neither the partnership nor the facility are considered  taxable entities for
Federal and state income tax  purposes.  Accordingly,  no  provision  for income
taxes is reflected in the financial  statements.  Any taxable  income or losses,
investment  credits and certain  other  items,  therefore,  are  reported by the
partners in their income tax returns.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) MANAGEMENT FEES

   Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS) performed management services for the
facility  until  the date of  acquisition  by IHS.  Pursuant  to the  management
agreement, the management fee is 6.5% of gross receipts plus a monthly charge of
$15 per employee.

The Partners
C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd.:


We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Vintage Health Care Center
Retirement Division (the Company) (wholly-owned by C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd., a
Partnership)  as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,  and the related  statements  of
operations,  changes  in  division  equity  and cash  flows for the years  ended
December 31, 1994 and 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Vintage  Health Care Center
Retirement  Division  as of December  31, 1994 and 1995,  and the results of its
operations  and cash flows for the years  ended  December  31,  1994 and 1995 in

                VINTAGE HEALTH CARE CENTER RETIREMENT DIVISION
          (WHOLLY-OWNED BY C.S. DENTON PARTNERS, LTD., A PARTNERSHIP)


                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995


(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation


   The Vintage Health Care Center Retirement Division (the Retirement  Division)
consists of a 43 unit  assisted  living and a 62 unit  congregate  care facility
also. The Retirement  Division  represents an operating  Division of the Vintage
Health Care  Center,  (the Parent  Company)  )which  includes a skilled  nursing
facility.  Vintage Health Care Center represents substantially all of the assets
of C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd. (the Partnership). The financial statements of the
Retirement  Division  include the activity of the assisted living and congregate
care  facility  only and do not  include the  activity  of the  skilled  nursing
facility. The Partnership was organized under the laws of the State of Texas and
its principal business is to own and operate the Vintage Health Care Center.

   The  Vintage  Health  Care  Center  is  located  on a  campus  containing  an
assisted-living  and  congregate  care  living  facility  and a  skilled-nursing
facility  which  share  certain  operating  expenses.   Allocations  of  various
operating  expenses  have been made by management on a monthly basis in order to
present the  separate  operating  expenses of the  Retirement  Division  and the
skilled-nursing facility. 

   Revenue Recognition

   Rent is  recognized in the month the units are occupied and service fees paid
by residents are recognized in the period the services are provided.

   Income Taxes


   Neither  the  Partnership  nor the  Vintage  Health  Care  Center  Retirement
Division are considered  taxable for Federal and State income tax purposes.  Any
taxable income or losses, investment credits and certain other items, therefore,
are the  reponsibility of the Partners on their income tax returns in accordance
with  the  Partnership  agreement.  The  Partnership  uses a fiscal  year  ended
December 31 for reporting income tax items to the partners.


   Statements of Cash Flow


   Under a cash management facility provided by the Partnership,  the Retirement
Division's cash balances are transferred to a centralized account and applied to
reduce  division  equity.  The  facility's  cash needs for  operating  and other
purposes are similarly provided through an increase in division equity.

   Division Equity

   Division  equity   represents  net  advances  from  the  Partnership  to  the
Retirement  Division less the  cumulative  deficit  (annual  losses in excess of
earnings  in  prior  years)  of  the  Retirement  Division.  Advances  from  the
Partnership  represent  the  cash  paid  by the  Partnership  on  behalf  of the
Retirement  Division in excess of cash received by the  Partnership on behalf of
the Retirement division.

                                      -
   (Wholly-Owned by C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd., a Partnership) (Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Depreciation  and  amortization  of property and equipment are computed using
the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets as
follows:



               Building and improvements ...  20-30 years
               Equipment....................  5-10 years


   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments


   The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, rent collected in advance,
security  deposits  and notes  payables  approximate  fair value  because of the
short-term maturity of these instruments. 

(2) MANAGEMENT FEES


   Autumn America Retirement,  Ltd.,  wholly-owned by Robert Chilton,  performed
management services for the Retirement Division until the date of acquisition by
Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS).  Pursuant to the management  agreement,
the  managment  fee is 5% of gross  receipts.  Management  fees  paid to  Autumn
America  Retirement,  Ltd. were approximately  $77,882 and $81,069 for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Tenants In Common
Terrace Gardens Tenants In Common:

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of Terrace  Gardens Tenants In
Common (d/b/a Terrace Gardens Healthcare and Retirement Center) (the "Company"),
a facility owned by seven tenants in common (see note 1) as of December 31, 1994
and 1995,  and the related  statements of operations,  owners'  deficit and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995.
These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's  management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based
on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Terrace  Gardens  Tenants In
Common (d/b/a Terrace Gardens  Healthcare and Retirement  Center) as of December
31, 1994 and 1995,  and the results of their  operations and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

referred to as the Company,  owns and operates  Terrace  Gardens  Healthcare and
Retirement Center (the Facility) which consists of a 120-unit  congregate living
facility,  a 122 bed assisted  living  facility  and a 100 bed nursing  facility
located in  Wichita,  Kansas.  The  Facility  provides  various  services to its
residents,  including  intermediate  nursing care, meals,  social activities and
other personal services.

   The Facility is owned by seven tenants in common.  Ownership interests in the
facility are as follows:

                                                  Ownership

   In February, 1996, Integrated Living Communities,  Inc. (ILC) entered into an
agreement to acquire the facility from the tenants in common above. The purchase
price is approximately  $12.20 million adjusted for certain accrued liabilities,
prepayments  and  deposits to be assumed by ILC.  The  purchase is  scheduled to
close simultaneous with the initial public offering of common stock of ILC.
    
   Basis of Accounting

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting.

   Revenue Recognition

   Nursing  facility  revenues  include  revenues  from two nursing units at the
Facility.  Basic medical services  revenues  represent routine service (room and
board)  charges  of the  nursing  units.  Specialty  medical  services  revenues
represent ancillary service charges of the nursing units.

   Assisted living revenues include revenues from a congregate  living apartment
building as well as revenues  from three  assisted  living  units.  Service fees
represent  monthly rental charges to residents of the apartment  units and daily
room and board charges in the assisted living units.

   Revenues are  recorded at  established  rates and  adjusted  for  differences
between such rates and estimated amounts reimbursable by third party payors when
applicable.  Revenues  are  recognized  in the period the units are occupied and
service fees paid by residents  are  recognized in the period that such services
are provided.

      (D/B/A Terrace Gardens Healthcare and Retirement Center) (Continued)

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The carrying  amounts of cash,  accounts  receivable,  other current  assets,
other assets,  accounts  payable,  and accrued  expenses  approximate fair value
because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  The carrying amount of
the mortgage  payable  approximates  its fair value because the interest rate is
adjusted quarterly.

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

               Buildings............  40 years
               Land improvements ...  25 years
               Equipment............  10 years

   Income Taxes

   The  Facility is not  considered  taxable  for  Federal and state  income tax
purposes  and,  accordingly,  the Company does not record a provision for income
taxes.  Any taxable  income or loss,  investment  tax credits and certain  other
items are the  responsibility  of the  tenants in common on their tax returns in
accordance with their ownership interests.

   Deferred Financing Costs

   Long-term  debt  financing  costs are deferred and amortized over the term of
the financing using the straight-line method.

(2) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   Property and equipment consist of the following:

The  promissory  note is secured  by a mortgage  and  security  interest  in the
premises.  Any default in the terms and provisions of the Eureka promissory note

to the nearest 1/8 %.  Monthly  payments of  principal  and  interest,  adjusted
quarterly,  are based upon a 25 year fully amortizing  schedule of equal monthly
payments.  All remaining principal and unpaid interest shall be due on August 1,
2007. The promissory  note is secured by a mortgage on and security  interest in
the premises.  Any default of the  borrowers in the terms and  provisions of the

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

   Section  145(a)  of the  General  Corporation  Law of the  State of  Delaware
("GCL") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation),  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the  corporation  or is or was  serving at the request of the  corporation  as a
director,  officer,  employee  or agent of another  corporation  or  enterprise,
against expenses,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation,  and,  with  respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

   Section 145(b) of the GCL provides that a Delaware  corporation may indemnify
any  person  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened,  pending  or  completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the
corporation  to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually
and reasonably  incurred by him in connection  with the defense or settlement of
such  action  or  suit if he  acted  under  similar  standards,  except  that no
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that despite the adjudication of liability,  such person is fairly and
reasonably  entitled to be  indemnified  for such expenses which the court shall
deem proper.

   Section  145 of the GCL  further  provides  that to the extent a director  or
officer of a corporation has been  successful in the defense of an action,  suit
or proceeding  referred to in  subsections  (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim,  issue  or  matter  therein,  he shall be  indemnified  against  expenses
actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in  connection   therewith,   that
indemnification  provided  for by  Section  145 of the GCL  shall  not be deemed
exclusive  of any other rights to which the  indemnified  party may be entitled;
and that the  corporation  may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director,  officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the

                                      II-1


<PAGE>
corporation as a director,  officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any
such  capacity  or  arising  out  of his  status  as  such  whether  or not  the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under
such Section 145.

   The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company
shall indemnify certain persons,  including officers,  directors,  employees and
agents,  to the fullest extent  permitted by Section 145 of the GCL of the State
of  Delaware.  Reference is made to the Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation
filed as Exhibit 3.1. The Company's  directors and officers are insured  against
losses  arising  from  any  claim  against  them as such  for  wrongful  acts or
omission, subject to certain limitations.

   Under  Section  9  of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,   the  Underwriters  are
obligated,  under certain  circumstances,  to indemnify officers,  directors and
controlling  persons  of the  Company  against  certain  liabilities,  including
liabilities  under  the  Securities  Act.  Reference  is  made  to the  form  of
Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

   A.  The  undersigned   registrant   hereby   undertakes  to  provide  to  the
Underwriters   at  the  closing   specified  in  the   Underwriting   Agreement,
certificates in such  denominations  and registered in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

   B. Insofar as  indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   C. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

      (1) For purposes of determining  any liability under the Securities Act of
   1933, as amended,  the information  omitted from the form of prospectus filed
   as part of this  registration  statement  in  reliance  upon  Rule  430A  and
   contained in a form of prospectus  filed by the  registrant  pursuant to Rule
   424(b)(1)  or (4) or 497(h)  under the  Securities  Act shall be deemed to be
   part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

      (2) For the purpose of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
   of 1933, as amended,  each  post-effective  amendment that contains a form of
   prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
   securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

requested by Buyer,  the parties shall use their best efforts to assign Sellers'
rights and  obligations to Buyer,  at Buyer's sole cost,  under the  outstanding
first lien mortgage (herein the "First Mortgage") on the Facility,  which, as of
April 1, 1996  (after  applying  the  payment  due April 1,  1996)  will have an
aggregate  principal  balance of  $8,159,876.  The First  Mortgage is more fully
described on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto. If the First Mortgage is so assigned,
the  outstanding  principal  amount of the  First  Mortgage,  together  with all
accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon,  shall be credited  against the  Purchase
Price payable by Buyer at the Closing.  Sellers  shall  indemnify and hold Buyer
harmless from and against all liabilities  and  obligations  associated with the
First  Mortgage for periods prior to the Closing Date. If the First  Mortgage is
assigned  to Buyer,  Buyer  shall be solely  responsible  for the payment of all
fees,  costs and/or  expenses in connection  with obtaining said consent of such
holders.  In addition,  Buyer shall be responsible for its own costs  associated
with the assumption of the First Mortgage, if applicable.  Should Buyer elect to
assume the First Mortgage,  Buyer  shall be obligated  to deliver to Sellers, on
or before Closing, the written  agreement of the


                                        2

holders of the First Mortgage fully releasing and  discharging  Sellers from any
and all further liabilities or obligations associated with the First Mortgage or
created  pursuant  to any  instrument  executed  in  connection  with  the  debt
evidenced by the First Mortgage.

                  1.3      Designated Contracts.

                           (a)      The  Contracts  (defined  herein in  Section
         4.7) which will be assigned  to and  assumed by Buyer (the  "Designated
         Contracts")  are set forth on Schedule  1.3 to be prepared by Buyer and
         attached  hereto at the time of execution  of this  Agreement by Buyer.
         Sellers shall at Closing, and to the extent the same are assignable, be
         obligated  to assign all of its right,  title and  interest  under such
         Designated  Contracts to Buyer and Buyer shall  assume the  obligations
         accruing on and after Closing under such Designated Contracts.

                           (b)      Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
         contained herein, Buyer is not assuming and will not be responsible for
         any liabilities or obligations under the Designated Contracts which are
         to be  performed  before the Closing  Date;  all such  liabilities  and
         obligations remaining the sole and exclusive  responsibility of Sellers
         pursuant to Section 1.2 herein and shall be paid or performed  prior to
         the Closing Date.

                           (c)      Immediately  after notice of the designation
         by Buyer of the  Contracts to be assigned by Sellers,  Sellers will use
         their best  efforts (but without any  obligation  to expend  money) and
         shall  diligently  proceed  to  obtain  any  consents  of  any  parties
         necessary to permit the assignment of the Designated Contracts.  In the
         event that any of the Designated  Contracts are not assignable,  or the
         parties to such  Designated  Contract  fail or refuse to consent to any
         assignment on or before the Closing Date, Buyer shall have no liability
         to assume  and will not assume any such  Designated  Contracts.  In the
         case of  those  certain  Bank  IV  equipment  leases,  Buyer  shall  be
         responsible for obtaining the consent for the transfer thereof.

                  1.4 Inventory.  Sellers shall, at their own expense,  make (or
cause to be made) an  inventory of the complete  contents of the  Facility,  and
promptly  (but no later  than ten (10) days from the date  hereof)  deliver  the
tally to Buyer,  which shall be attached  hereto as Schedule  1.4. From the date
hereof  until the Closing  Date,  Sellers  shall  maintain  inventory  at levels
substantially  consistent with those set forth on Schedule 1.4. Buyer may review
and verify the inventory  submitted by Sellers,  and, if the inventory after the
Closing is not at substantially the levels set forth on Schedule 1.4, Buyer will
notify Sellers within ten (10) business days after the Closing, and Sellers will
refund  a  portion  of the  Purchase  Price  equal  to the  dollar  value of the
inventory  deficit.  The inventory as agreed to by the parties shall be referred
to as the "Inventory."

                           ARTICLE II: PURCHASE PRICE
                           --------------------------

                  2.1  Determination and Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase
price of the Assets  shall be TWELVE  MILLION ONE  HUNDRED  FIFTY  THOUSAND  AND
00/100 ($12,150,000.00) DOLLARS, subject to a credit for the outstanding balance
of the First  Mortgage,  as of the Closing Date(if the First Mortgage is assumed
by Buyer),  and the  adjustments  as provided in this Article II (the  "Purchase
Price").  Such amount shall be payable in cash by wire  transfer of  immediately
available funds as follows:

                           (a)      the sum of $250,000.00 shall be deposited on
the date hereof (the "Deposit")  with First American Title Insurance  Company of
New York as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") under that certain  Purchase Price
Escrow  Agreement of even date herewith,  a copy of which is attached  hereto as
Exhibit 2.1,  which  deposit shall be refundable to Buyer at any time before the
earlier of June 12, 1996,  or the filing date with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission of the registration  statement for the initial public offering of the
capital  stock of the Buyer (the "Filing  Date").  The Escrow Agent will release
the Deposit to Sellers on the earlier of the Filing  Date or June 12,  1996,  if
this Agreement is not terminated on or before such date (the "Non-Refund Date").
In the event  Buyer fails to make such filing by June 12,  1996,  Sellers  shall
have the right to terminate  this Agreement at anytime  thereafter  unless on or
before the Non- Refund  Date,  (i) Buyer  notifies  Sellers of its waiver of the
condition  set  forth in  Section  8.15  hereof,  and  (ii)  Buyer  delivers  an
additional sum of $250,000.00 to the Sellers on the date it notifies  Sellers of
the waiver of Section 8.15; and

                           (b)      the  balance  shall be  payable  by Buyer to
Sellers at the Closing.

                  2.2      Certain   Adjustments  to  the  Purchase   Price.  In
addition, at the Closing hereunder:

                           (a)      Attached  hereto is Schedule 2.2 (a),  which
shall be updated,  and  effective as of the Closing Date,  and delivered  within
five (5) days prior to the Closing Date,  showing the amount of accrued  holiday
and vacation  pay,  accrued sick pay and  personal  leave and any other  similar
benefits,  for each of its employees who Buyer desires to employ and who accepts
such employment  with Buyer,  as set forth on Schedule 10.5 hereto.  The payroll
taxes and workers' compensation  insurance premiums shall be fully discharges at
Closing.  The amount  applicable  for any accrued  holiday and  vacation pay and
accrued  sick pay and  personal  leave shall be  estimated  prior to Closing and
shall be settled as an adjustment to the Purchase  Price within ninety (90) days
after Closing pursuant to Section 2.4 below.

                           (b)      Attached  hereto is Schedule  2.2(b),  which
shall be updated and effective as of the Closing Date, listing the amount of any
prepayments  received  by  Sellers  prior to  Closing on account of any goods or
services to be rendered or supplied by Buyer on or after the Closing  Date,  and
such   prepayments   shall   reduce   the   Purchase   Price  at  Closing  on  a
dollar-for-dollar basis.

<PAGE>



                           (c)      Attached  hereto is Schedule  2.2(c),  which
shall be updated and effective as of the Closing Date, listing the amount of any
prepaid rent  received  from  residents of the  Facility,  and such prepaid rent
which is  applicable to periods  commencing on or after the Closing Date,  shall
reduce the Purchase Price at Closing on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

                           (d)      Attached  hereto is Schedule  2.2(d),  which
shall be updated and effective as of the Closing Date, listing the amount of any
security  deposits  received from  residents of the Facility,  and such security
deposits  shall  reduce the  Purchase  Price at  Closing on a  dollar-for-dollar
basis.

                  2.3 Transfer  Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the Closing Date, the
following  adjustments  and prorations  shall be computed as of the Closing Date
with respect to the following  taxes (unless  otherwise  stated  herein) and the
cash  portion of the  Purchase  Price shall be  adjusted,  upward or downward as
appropriate, to reflect such prorations:

                           (a)      Transfer  Taxes and Escrow  Fees.  All state
and local real estate transfer and recording taxes or fees and escrow fees shall
be borne  equally  between the Seller and the Buyer;  provided,  however,  Buyer
shall be responsible  for any mortgage  registration  taxes which may be payable
because of any financing obtained by Buyer.

                           (b)      Real Estate Taxes, etc. Real property taxes,
the  installments  of special  assessments  and all other public or governmental
charges  against the Assets  (including  charges for sewer,  water,  drainage or
other  services)  for the fiscal year in which the Closing  Date occurs shall be
adjusted and apportioned as of the Closing Date.

                           (c)      Personal  Property Taxes.  Personal property
taxes attributable to the personal property comprising the Assets for the fiscal
year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be adjusted  and  apportioned  as of
the Closing Date and paid  thereafter  by Buyer.  Buyer agrees to indemnify  and
hold  Sellers  harmless  with respect to such taxes which accrue on or after the
Closing Date and for any such taxes which  accrued  prior to the Closing Date if
Buyer is given a credit therefor at Closing. Sellers agree to indemnify and hold
Buyer  harmless  with respect to such taxes which  accrued  prior to the Closing
Date if there is no tax credit for periods prior to the Closing Date is given to
Buyer at Closing. The respective  indemnification and payment obligations of the
parties shall survive the Closing and continue to be enforceable.

                           (d)      Service  Contracts,  Leases  and  Utilities.
Except as otherwise  provided in Section 1.3, all  prepayments  made or payments
due under any  continuing  service  contracts  and leases  affecting the Assets,
including without  limitation  water,  sewer,  electric,  gas and utility bills,
parking,  garbage  removal,  and  maintenance  agreements  shall be adjusted and
apportioned as of the Closing Date with Buyer  responsible for such  obligations
incurred on or after the Closing Date.

                           (e)      Sales  Taxes.  Any  applicable  sales  taxes
payable in connection with the transfer of the Assets shall be shared equally by
Sellers and Buyer.



                                        5

<PAGE>



                           (f)      Reserves.   If  Buyer   assumes   the  First
Mortgage,  Sellers shall assign to Buyer all tax,  insurance and other  reserves
held by any  holder of the  First  Mortgage.  Buyer  shall  pay to  Sellers,  at
Closing, a sum of money equal to such reserves.

                  2.4 Other  Prorations.  All other charges and fees customarily
prorated and adjusted in similar  transactions in the locale in which the Assets
are situated  (including  without  limitation any and all employee  benefits not
otherwise  governed by Section  2.2) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date in
accordance  with such custom and thereafter be assumed by Buyer,  with the Buyer
being charged with such items which accrue on and after the Closing Date.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the Closing Date because  current bills or  statements  are
not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills), the parties shall prorate such
items upon  receipt of the final bill of  statement,  but in no event later than
ninety  (90) days after  Closing;  provided,  that any bill  received by Sellers
after the  Closing  Date  shall be paid by  Sellers  to the extent it relates to
charges  accruing  prior to the  Closing  Date.  The  Seller  shall use its best
efforts to have all utility  meters read on the Closing Date so as to accurately
determine the proration of current utility bills.

                  2.5  Resident  Trust  Funds.  Sellers  shall  deliver to Buyer
before Closing  Schedule 2.5 listing the amount of escrow monies of residents of
the  Facility  held in trust by Sellers  ("Resident  Trust  Funds") and, if such
monies are held in separate  accounts,  specifying the name of the bank at which
such account is maintained and identifying  patient account numbers. At Closing,
Sellers shall assign,  transfer and deliver to Buyer,  as trustee and subject to
the same term of trust,  all such amount  held in  Resident  Trust Funds and all
passbooks and other books and records pertaining thereto. Buyer shall assume all
liability  with respect to such  Resident  Trust Funds  arising on and after the
Closing Date.  Sellers agree to indemnify,  defend and hold Buyer  harmless from
any and all liabilities,  claims,  losses, costs or expenses asserted against or
suffered by Buyer in  connection  with the Resident  Trust Funds with respect to
matters arising prior to the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold Sellers harmless from any and all  liabilities,  claims,  losses,  costs or
expenses asserted against or suffered by Sellers in connection with the Resident
Trust Funds with respect to matters  arising on or after the Closing  Date.  The
respective indemnification  obligations of the parties shall survive the Closing
and shall  continue  to be  enforceable.  Any  liability  with  respect  to such
Resident  Trust Funds  arising or  accruing  before the  Closing  Date,  and any
liability  arising on or after the Closing  Date (other than the  obligation  to
return such funds to the  applicable  resident),  in the event the amount of the
Resident Trust Funds  delivered by Sellers to Buyer is  demonstrated  to be less
than the funds  delivered to Sellers to hold in trust prior to the Closing Date,
shall remain the sole responsibility of the Sellers.


                            ARTICLE III: THE CLOSING
                            ------------------------

                  3.1      Time and Place of Closing.

                           (a)      Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, except as set
forth in  paragraph  (b) of this Section and subject to the  fulfillment  of the
conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof,  the closing (the "Closing") of the
purchase and sale of the Assets contemplated by this Agreement


                                        6

<PAGE>



shall take place on the day (herein the "Closing  Date") which is the earlier of
the closing  date of the  Initial  Public  Offering  or August 7, 1996,  through
escrow  pursuant to the Closing Escrow  Agreement,  or at such other time on the
Closing Date and place upon which the parties may mutually agree.  Sellers shall
deliver  possession  of the Assets to Buyer,  and Buyer shall accept the same on
said date.

                           (b)      Buyer will file all  necessary  applications
for  licensure  within ten (10) days of the date  hereof,  and will use its best
efforts to obtain all necessary approvals in connection therewith by the Closing
Date.  If prior to or by the Closing  Date,  the state  agency or agencies  with
jurisdiction  over the licensing of the Facility notifies Buyer that there exist
impediments to such agency or agencies issuing to the Buyer a license to operate
the Facility  immediately upon the Buyer's  acquisition of the Assets,  then, in
such event,  Buyer  shall be  entitled  to extend the Closing  Date for a period
sufficient to meet such requirements,  but in no event for more than thirty (30)
days.

                  3.2      Deliveries.

                           (a)      On  the  day   immediately   preceding   the
reasonably anticipated effective date of Buyer's registration statement relating
to the Initial Public Offering ("the Escrow Closing  Date"),  the parties hereto
shall,  if the Closing is  expected to occur on the closing  date of the Initial
Public  Offering,  enter into the Closing Escrow  Agreement  attached  hereto as
Exhibit  3.2,  and shall  deliver the  following  documents  to the escrow agent
thereunder to be held in accordance therewith:

                                    (i)     Sellers  shall  deliver  such  deed,
bill of sale,  endorsements,  assignments  (other  than  related  to the Bank IV
equipment  leases)  and other  instruments  of sale,  conveyance,  transfer  and
assignment,  mutually  satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer,  Sellers and
their respective counsels (including,  without limitation,  the Bill of Sale and
Assignment of Contracts  described in Section 8.10 hereof), as may be reasonably
requested by Buyer, in order to convey to Buyer good and marketable title to the
Assets (other than the Real  Property),  free and clear of all claims,  charges,
equities,  liens,  security interests and encumbrances  except for the Permitted
Exceptions (as defined in Section 4.13 hereof).

                                    (ii)    Sellers  shall  deliver to Buyer all
written  consents which are required under any  Designated  Contract  hereunder;
provided, however, that as to any Designated Contract the assignment of which by
its terms requires prior consent of the parties thereto,  if such consent is not
obtained prior to or on the Escrow Closing Date,  Sellers shall deliver  written
documentation  setting  forth  arrangements  for the  transfer  of the  economic
benefit of such  Designated  Contracts  to Buyer as of the Escrow  Closing  Date
under terms and  conditions  reasonably  acceptable to the Buyer,  in accordance
with the terms of Section 1.3 hereof.

                                    (iii)   Sellers   shall  deliver  a  special
warranty deed with warranty against grantor's acts in accordance with the law of
the State of Kansas to each  parcel of the Real  Property  and all  Improvements
thereof,  in form  mutually  acceptable to Buyer,  Sellers and their  respective
counsels,  with good and  marketable  title,  free and  clear of all  mortgages,
liens,  charges or other encumbrances except (i) the Permitted  Exceptions;  and
(ii) the standard exceptions


                                        7

<PAGE>



normally  contained  in Schedule B to Owner  Policy of Title  Insurance  and any
exceptions that are standard in the State of Kansas for all properties similarly
used;  provided,  however,  the Sellers, at Buyer's request,  shall provide such
affidavits  to the title  company or take such  other  actions  (other  than the
expenditure  of money or providing of a survey) as may be  reasonably  requested
that would enable the title company to remove any of such  standard  exceptions.
Each of Buyer and  Sellers  shall  deliver a check in payment of one-half of all
transfer taxes and recording fees payable by reason of the delivery or recording
of the special warranty deed to the Real Property.

                                    (iv)    Buyer     shall      deliver     all
documentation reasonably necessary to assume the Assets and the Real Property in
form and content mutually acceptable to Buyer and Sellers.

                                    (v)     Each  of  Sellers  and  Buyer  shall
deliver all certificates,  opinions and other documents required to be delivered
pursuant to Articles IX and X hereof.

                                    (vi)    Buyer shall  deliver the  Employment
Agreement, defined in Section 9.7 hereof.

                           (b)       All documents  delivered into escrow on the
Escrow Closing Date shall be undated, and shall be dated the Closing Date at the
time such documents are released from escrow in accordance with the terms of the
Closing Escrow Agreement.

                           (c)       If the  Closing is to occur on a date other
than the closing date of the Initial Public Offering,  the parties shall, on the
Closing Date, deliver the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section
3.2 (a) to each other  rather  than the Escrow  Agent,  and Buyer  shall pay the
Purchase  Price by wire  transfer  of  immediately  available  funds to accounts
specified by the Sellers.


               ARTICLE IV: SELLERS' REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
               ---------------------------------------------------

                  Sellers represent and warrant to Buyer as follows:

                  4.1  Organization  and  Standing  of Seller.  Sellers  own the
Facility as Tenants in Common. All of the Sellers are individuals except Terrace
Gardens,  L.P., which is a duly organized limited partnership,  validly existing
and in good  standing  under the laws of the State of Kansas.  Sellers  have the
power and authority to own property and assets now owned by them and conduct the
business presently being conducted by them.

                  4.2  Authority.  Sellers have the full power and  authority to
make,  execute,  deliver and perform this Agreement  including all Schedules and
Exhibits  hereto,   and  the  other   instruments  and  documents   required  or
contemplated hereby and thereby ("Seller's Transaction


                                        8

Documents").  Such execution,  delivery,  performance and consummation have been
duly authorized by all necessary action, on the part of Sellers.

                  4.3     Binding   Effect.   This  Agreement  and  all  related
transaction  documents  executed  by Sellers  constitute  the valid and  binding
obligation of Sellers,  enforceable  against  Sellers in  accordance  with their
respective terms.

                  4.4 Absence of Conflicting Agreements.  Provided Buyer obtains
the  necessary   consents  and  approvals  from  the   applicable   governmental
authorities  having  jurisdiction  over the Facility and from the holders of the
First  Mortgage  and as required  under the  Designated  Contracts,  neither the
execution  or  delivery of this  Agreement  or any of the  Seller's  Transaction
Documents  by  Sellers  nor  the  performance  by  Sellers  of the  transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, conflicts with, or constitutes a breach of or a
default under (i) any applicable law, rule, judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,
or decree of any court,  currently  in effect;  or (ii) any  applicable  rule or
regulation  of  any  administrative  agency  or  other  governmental   authority
currently in effect; or (iii) any written or oral agreement, indenture, contract
or instrument to which Sellers are now a party or by which any of them or any of
the Assets is bound.

                  4.5 Consents.  Except for the necessary consents and approvals
from the applicable government authorities having jurisdiction over the Facility
and from the holders of the First  Mortgage,  any  consents  required  under the
Designated  Contracts,  and as set  forth on  Schedule  4.5,  no  authorization,
consent,  approval,  license, exemption by filing or registration with any court
or   governmental   department,    commission,    board,   bureau,   agency   or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary in connection with
Sellers' entry into, execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement, any
of the transaction documents related hereto, or for the Sellers' consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  4.6      Schedule of Assets and Properties.

                           (a)      Set forth in Schedule  4.6 are  complete and
accurate lists of all of the material  items  comprising  Sellers'  Assets as it
relates to this  Facility  (other than the Property) and the Inventory as of the
date of this Agreement as follows:

                                     (i)    All    machinery,    vehicles    and
equipment,  office equipment,  furniture and supplies owned or leased by Sellers
and used in  connection  with  the  Facility  and any  other  items of  personal
property that is located at the Facility and comprise or are  otherwise  used by
Sellers in connection with the Facility.

                                    (ii)    All franchises,  licenses,  permits,
rights and other  authorizations,  if any, and any other item of  intangible  or
intellectual property (other than trade names, trademarks and service marks and

operation of the Facility.

                  4.7      Contracts.

                           (a)      Except  for the First  Mortgage,  employment
contracts,  and (to the  extent  they  appear on  Schedule  4.30)  patient  care
agreements,  Schedule  4.7  sets  forth  a  complete  and  correct  list  of all
agreements,  contracts and commitments  whether written or oral, relating to the
Facility or its  operation by which  Seller or the  Facility is bound,  together
with  copies  of all such  agreements,  contracts  and  commitments  and a brief
description setting forth their assignability (the "Contracts"). Sellers are not
in default  under any  Contract  and there has not been  asserted,  either by or
against Sellers under any Contract,  any notice of default,  set-off or claim of
default.  Sellers,  after due inquiry, have no knowledge that the parties to the
Contracts, other than the Sellers, are not in default of any of their respective
obligations under the Contracts, or that there has occurred any event which with
the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default
or breach under any  Contract.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, all amounts
payable  under the  Contracts  are, or will at the Closing Date, be on a current
basis.  Except as set forth on Schedule  4.7, the  Contracts  are  assignable to
Buyer without the consent of the remaining parties thereto.

                           (b)      Except  as listed  on  Schedule  4.7 or with
respect  to  employment  agreements,  Sellers  are not  party  to or  liable  in
connection with and have not granted any written or express, oral or implied:

                  sale of any of the  Facility's  assets,  properties  or rights
                  outside the  ordinary  course of business  (by sale of assets,
                  sale of stock,  merger or  otherwise)  which is  currently  in
                  effect;

                                    (iv)   agreement  restricting  the   Sellers

                                    (v)     partnership    or   joint    venture
                  contract or similar  arrangement or agreement  which is likely
                  to  involve a sharing  of  profits  or  future  payments  with
                  respect to the Sellers' interest in the Facility;

                                    (vi)    licensing,    distributor,   dealer,
                  franchise, sales or manufacturer's  representative,  agency or

                  commitment for the Facility which  involves  consideration  of
                  more than $10,000; or

                                    (vii) agreement not made in the ordinary and
                  normal  course of  business  of the  Facility  which  involves
                  consideration of more than $10,000.

                  4.8  Financial   Statements.   Attached  hereto  are  Sellers'
financial  statements  for the  Facility  for the two (2)  calendar  years ended
December  31,  1994 and  December  31,  1995,  certified  as true and correct by
Sellers (the "Financial  Statements").  The Financial Statements  (including any
related notes thereto),  and the financial statements Sellers are covenanting to
deliver to Buyer pursuant to Section 7.3(j) hereof,  are true and correct in all
material  respects and present  fairly the  financial  condition  and results of
operations of the Facility as, at and for the periods therein specified and were

a basis consistent with prior periods, except as disclosed as an addendum to the
Financial  Statements relative to capitalization  policies and vacation and sick
leave.

                  4.9 Material Changes.  Except as listed on Schedule 4.9 hereto
or as disclosed on the  financial  statements  provided  under  Section 7.3 (j),
since December 31, 1995,  there has not been any material  adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise),  of the assets,  properties or operations of
the  Facility,  or any damage or  destruction  of the  Facility by fire or other
casualty,  whether or not covered by insurance,  and Sellers have, and as of the
Closing,  will have,  operated the Facility only in the normal course. No notice
relating  specifically to the Facility has been issued,  written or oral, and to
the best of Sellers'  knowledge,  Sellers  have  disclosed  on Schedule  4.9 all
information  with respect to any fact or  condition  that might cause a material
adverse  effect  on  the  future  prospects  (financial,   licensure  status  or
otherwise) of the Facility.

                  4.10  Medicare  and  Medicaid   Cost  Reports.   Sellers  have
delivered  to the Buyer true and correct  copies of all  Medicaid  cost  reports
relating to the Facility for the last two (2) fiscal years.  Seller will prepare
or have prepared  terminating  cost reports or other  documentation  required by
Medicaid.  To the best of Sellers' knowledge,  there are no outstanding Medicare
claims or  settlements  of the  Facility for the period of time during which the
Facility participated in the Medicare program.

                  4.11 Licenses; Permits. Schedule 4.11 sets forth a description
of (a) each license and all other  governmental or other regulatory  permits and
approvals relating to the operation of the Facility heretofore obtained and that
is now in effect;  and (b) where  notice has been issued to Sellers,  each other
license,  permit,  right  or  other  authorization  that  is  necessary  for the
operation  of the  Facility,  including  the Life Safety  Code,  zoning laws and
building codes (collectively,  the "Licenses").  Sellers have delivered to Buyer
copies of all of the Licenses  listed on Schedule 4.11.  Sellers shall use their
best  efforts  to deliver to Buyer  within ten (10) days from  execution  hereof
copies of each  application  for each of the  Licenses.  Schedule 4.11 also sets
forth a  description  of each  accreditation  of the  Facility,  copies of which

Buyer.  The Facility is licensed and certified by the Kansas State Department of
Health or Environment  for 222 Medicaid beds.  Sellers own,  possess or have the
legal right to use the Licenses, free and clear of all liens, pledges, claims or
other  encumbrances  of any nature  whatsoever.  Except as set forth in Schedule
4.11, Sellers are not in default under, nor have they received any notice of any
claim or default or any other claim or proceeding relating to, any such License.
The Facility is fully and completely licensed by all appropriate authorities for
Sellers to carry on the business presently conducted at the Facility. Except for
Sellers, no shareholder,  director or officer,  employee or former employee,  or
immediate  family  member  of any such  person,  or any  other  person,  firm or
corporation owns or has any proprietary,  financial or other interest, direct or
indirect,  in whole or in part in any such License  owned,  possessed or used in
the operation of the Facility as now operated.

                  4.12     Title, Condition of Personal Property.

                           (a)      Except for the security interests listed and
described on Schedule  4.12(a),  Sellers have good and  marketable  title to all
such tangible and intangible  personal property located at or used by Sellers in
connection  with the  ownership  or  operation  of the  Facility,  subject to no
mortgage,  security interest, pledge, lien, conditional sales agreement,  lease,
claim,  encumbrance  or charge,  or restraint on transfer  whatsoever.  No other
person  has any  right to the use or  possession  of any of such  property  and,
except  as set forth on  Schedule  4.12(a),  no  currently  effective  financing
statement with respect to such property has been filed in any jurisdiction,  and
Sellers have not signed any such financing  statement or any security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During  the  five (5) year  period  preceding  the  date  hereof,  Sellers  have
conducted its business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or trade name
"Terrace Gardens." To the best of Sellers'  knowledge after due inquiry,  all of
the  personal  property  is in  good  operating  condition  and  repair  and  is
functioning  in the manner and for the purpose for which it was  intended and is
in  compliance  with  (and the  operation  thereof  is in  compliance  with) all
applicable  Federal,  state  and  local  laws,  rules  and  regulations,  and is
sufficient  and suitable to enable the Buyer to operate the Facility in a normal
and efficient manner.

                           (b)      Except  as set  forth on  Schedule  4.12(b),
none of the personal  property used by Sellers in connection  with the operation
of the Facility is subject to a conditional  sale,  security interest or similar
arrangement.  Schedule 4.12(b) sets forth a complete and correct copy of each of
the personal  property  leases  relating to the Facility as to which Sellers are
parties  (together with all  modifications  or amendments  thereto),  the annual
rental  and  unexpired  lease term  thereby  and all the  information  set forth
thereon is complete,  correct and accurate. All of said personal property leases
are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and
are in full  force and  effect.  Sellers  are not in  default  under any of such
leases and there has not been asserted,  either by or against  Sellers under any
of such leases, any notice of default, set-off, or claim of default. To the best
of Sellers' knowledge,  the parties to such leases,  other than the Sellers, are
not in default of their  respective  obligations  under any of such leases,  and
there  has  not occurred any  event which  with the passage of time or giving of
notice (or both)


                                       12

<PAGE>



would  constitute  such a default or breach under any of such leases.  Except as
otherwise set forth on Schedule  4.12(b),  each of said personal property leases
is assignable to Buyer without the consent of the lessor of such Facility.

                  4.13     Title, Condition of the Real Property.

                           (a)      Sellers  have good and  marketable  title to
the real property  comprising  Facility (the "Real Property"),  insurable by any
reputable,  licensed title company selected by Buyer at regular rates,  free and
clear  of  all  liens,  claims,  charges,  easements,   encumbrances  and  title
exceptions  of any kind  whatsoever,  except those matters set forth on Schedule
4.13(a) (the "Permitted Exceptions").

                           (b)      There are no leases or other  agreements  of
Sellers as lessors, granting any third party the right to use or occupy any part
of the Real Property  (except the rights of the patients of the Facility) and no
person,  firm or entity has any  ownership  interest or option or right of first
refusal to acquire any  ownership  interest in the Real Property or any building
or improvements thereon.

                           (c)      To the best of Sellers'  knowledge after due
inquiry, all buildings and other improvements comprising the Facility (including
all roads,  parking areas,  curbs,  sidewalks,  sewers and other utilities) have
been completed and installed in accordance with such plans and specifications as
were approved by the governmental  authorities having jurisdiction thereof. Such
permanent   statements   of   occupancy   and  all  other   licenses,   permits,
authorizations  and approvals  required by all governmental  authorities  having
jurisdiction and the requisite annual fire safety and life safety inspections as
were issued or  conducted  for the  buildings  and other  improvements,  if any,
comprising the Real Property,  have been issued,  paid for and are in full force
and effect.

                           (d)      To the best of Sellers'  knowledge after due
inquiry,  the  maintenance,  operations  and  use of  the  buildings  and  other
improvements  comprising  the Real  Property will comply with and do not violate
any zoning,  building or similar  law,  ordinance,  order or  regulation  or any
statement  of  occupancy  issued  for the  Facility.  To the  best  of  Sellers'
knowledge,  there will have been no violation of any Federal,  state,  county or
municipal  law,  ordinance,  order,  regulation  or  requirement  affecting  the
Facility and no written notice of any such  violation  shall have been issued by
any  governmental  authority.  To the  best of  Sellers'  knowledge,  since  the
construction  of the Facility was  completed  Sellers have received no notice of
any changes to building,  health or fire codes that would be  applicable  to the
Facility  nor any change in the use of the  Facility  that would have caused any
modifications  to have been made to the Facility  pursuant to any such building,
health or fire codes.

                           (e)      No notice has been  issued to  Sellers  that
there is a plan, study or effort by any  governmental  authority or agency which
in any way  affects  or would  affect  the  present  use or  zoning  of the Real
Property  or any part  thereof.  To the best of Sellers'  knowledge  there is no
plan, study or effort by any  governmental  authority or agency which in any way
affects or would  affect the present  use or zoning of the Real  Property or any
part thereof. Except as set


                                       13

been issued to the contrary,  there are no assessments  or proposed  assessments
and there is no  existing,  proposed or  contemplated  plan to widen,  modify or
realign any street or highway or any existing,  proposed or contemplated eminent
domain  proceedings  that would affect the Real Property in any way  whatsoever.
The Real Property is not located in areas designated by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban  Development or any other  governmental  authority or agency as having
special flood or mud slide hazards.

                           (f)      To the best of Sellers'  knowledge after due
inquiry,  during  the  Sellers'  ownership  thereof,  the  buildings  and  other
improvements  comprising the Real Property and all of their  systems,  including
without limitation, the heating,  ventilating and air condition systems, and the
plumbing,  electrical,  mechanical  and drainage  systems,  and roof are in good
operating  condition,  repair and working  order,  and have passed all  previous
safety and/or licensing  inspections.  The last inspection under the Life Safety
Code occurred on the second day of June, 1995 and the last licensing  inspection
occurred on the third day of May, 1995.

                           (g)      Except  as set  forth on  Schedule  4.13(g),
there is no  proceeding  pending to which  Sellers  are a party  relating to the
assessed  valuation of any portion of the Facility and no assessment  for public
improvements  have been made  against  the  Facility  that  remain  unpaid.  All
installments  of special  assessments due and payable for the tax year preceding
the year of Closing for all public improvements ordered,  commenced or completed
prior to the Closing Date shall be paid for in full by the Sellers  prior to the
Closing.

                           (h)      All  public   utilities   required  for  the
operation of the Facility  either enter the Facility  through  adjoining  public
streets,  or if they pass through  adjoining  private  land, do so in accordance
with valid recorded easements held by Sellers.  The Real Property is adjacent to
and has direct access to an abutting street. All streets adjoining or traversing
the Real  Property  have been  dedicated to and accepted by the local  municipal
authorities.

                           (i)      Except as  disclosed  on  Schedule  4.13(i),
there are no easements  traversing  the Real Property which are not disclosed on
any schedule hereto or on any title report delivered, or to be delivered, to the
Buyer or which interfere with the intended use and operation of the Facility.

                           (j)      All  certificates  of  occupancy  and  other
authorizations  issued  for the Real  Property  have been set forth on  Schedule
4.13(j) hereto.  Sellers have not received any notice of noncompliance  from any
governmental authority regarding any of the improvements constructed on the Real
Property or the use or occupancy thereof.

                  4.14 Legal  Proceedings.  Other than as set forth on  Schedule
4.14, there are no disputes, claims, actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations
or investigations,  either administrative or judicial,  pending, or, to the best
of Sellers' knowledge,  threatened or contemplated, nor, to the best of Sellers'
knowledge, is there any basis therefor, against or affecting the Facility or the
Assets or  Sellers'  rights  therein  or  Sellers'  ability  to  consummate  the
transactions contemplated

                                       14

<PAGE>



herein, at law or in equity or otherwise, before or by any court or governmental
agency or body,  domestic  or  foreign,  or before  an  arbitrator  of any kind.
Sellers  have  received  no  requests  for  information   with  respect  to  the
transactions contemplated hereby from any governmental agency.

                  4.15 Employees.  Schedule 4.15 contains a complete and correct
list of the name,  position,  current  rate of  compensation  and any  earned or
accrued  vacation  or  holiday  pay,  sick  pay,  personal  leave  and any other
compensation   arrangements  or  fringe  benefits,  of  each  current  employee,
consultant and agent of the Sellers (together with a description of any specific
arrangements  or rights  concerning  such persons) that are not reflected in any
agreement or document  referred to in Schedule 4.15.  Sellers currently have no,
and have never had any,  pension,  profit  sharing,  bonus,  incentive,  welfare
benefit, sick leave or sick pay or other plan applicable to any of the employees
of the  Facility  other than  disclosed  on  Schedule  4.15.  No such  employee,
consultant or commission agent has any vested or unvested retirement benefits or
other termination benefits, except as described on Schedule 4.15.

                           (a)      During  the  two  (2)  years  prior  to  the
Closing Date,  there has been no material or adverse change in the  relationship
between Sellers and their employees nor any strike or labor  disturbance by such
employees  affecting  Sellers'  business and there is no indication  that such a
change,  strike or labor  disturbance  is  likely.  Sellers'  employees  are not
represented  by any labor  union or similar  organization  and  Sellers  have no
reason to  believe  that there are  pending or  threatened  any  activities  the
purpose of which is to achieve  such  representation  of all or some of Sellers'
employees.  There are no pending suits,  actions or proceedings  against Sellers
relating  to  employees  of  Sellers,  and Sellers do not know of any threats of
strikes,  work stoppages or pending grievances by any such employees.  Except as
set forth on Schedule 4.16,  the Sellers have no collective  bargaining or other
labor contracts,  employment  contracts,  pension,  profit-sharing,  retirement,
insurance,  bonus,  deferred  compensation  or  other  employee  benefit  plans,
agreements  or  arrangements  with  respect  to such  employees.  To the best of
Sellers'  knowledge,  no  notices  have  been  issued  that  Sellers  are not in
compliance  with the  requirements  prescribed  by all Federal,  state and local
statutes, orders and governmental rules and regulations applicable to any of the
employee benefit plans, agreements and arrangements identified on Schedule 4.16,
including,  without  limitation,  the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of

                           (b)      Between  the  date  hereof  and the  Closing
Date, Sellers shall not enter into any contract or agreement (or negotiations in
connection   therewith)   with  any   union  or  other   collective   bargaining
representative  representing  any  employees at the  Facility  without the prior

employee  benefit  plan which is subject to the  minimum  funding  standards  of
ERISA. Sellers do not now maintain or make contributions


                                       15

to and has not at any time in the past maintained or made  contributions  to any
multi-employer  plan  subject to the terms of the  Multi-employer  Pension  Plan

number,  the annual  premium and a brief  description of the nature of insurance
included  under each such  policy and of any claims made  thereunder  during the
past two years. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.18, such policies are owned by
and payable  solely to Sellers,  and said  policies or renewals or  replacements
thereof will be outstanding and duly in force at the Closing Date. All insurance
policies listed on Schedule 4.18 are in full force and effect,  all premiums due

authority to execute,  deliver and perform this Agreement, and as of the Closing
the Buyer will have the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the
instruments  and  agreements  required to be  delivered  by it to Sellers at the
Closing (collectively the "Buyer's Transaction Documents").

                  5.3 Binding  Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly executed
and  delivered by Buyer.  This  Agreement is, and when executed and delivered by
Buyer at the Closing each of the related transaction documents executed by Buyer

Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, as such  enforceability  may be
limited by applicable  creditors  rights laws and the  availability of equitable
remedies.

                  5.4  Finders.  No broker or finder is entitled to any broker's
or  finder's  fee or  other  commission  in  connection  with  the  transactions

responsible  for the  payment  of any  broker's  or  finder's  fees  to  Holiday

           ARTICLE VI: INFORMATION AND RECORDS CONCERNING THE FACILITY
           -----------------------------------------------------------

                  6.1      Access to Information and Records before Closing.

                           (a)      Prior to the Closing  Date,  Buyer may make,
or cause to be made, such  investigation  of the Facility's  financial and legal
conditions as Buyer deems necessary or advisable to familiarize  itself with the
Facility  and/or  matters  relating to its history or  operation.  Sellers shall
permit Buyer and its  authorized  representatives  (including  legal counsel and
accountants), to have full access to the Facility and Sellers' books and records
kept in connection therewith and Sellers will furnish, or cause to be furnished,
to Buyer such reasonable  financial and operating data and other information and
copies of  documents  with respect to the  products,  services,  operations  and
Assets,  the Real  Property  and the  Facility  as Buyer shall from time to time
reasonably  request.  The  documents  to which the Buyer shall have access shall
include,  but not be limited to, the information tax returns prepared by Sellers
in  connection  with the Facility and related work papers since their  inception
and  printouts of patient or resident  account  information  maintained by or on
behalf of any person with respect to the Facility;  and Buyer may make, or cause
to be made,  extracts  thereof as Buyer or its  representatives  may desire from
time to time, to enable the Buyer and its  representatives  to  investigate  the
affairs of Sellers (as they relate to the  Facility)  and the  Facility  and the
accuracy of the representations  and warranties made in this Agreement.  Sellers
shall cause their accountants to cooperate with Buyer and to disclose


                                       22

<PAGE>



the results of audits relating to the Facility and to produce the working papers
relating thereto.  No such investigation by Buyer or its  representatives  shall
affect any of the Sellers'  representations  and warranties in this Agreement or
Buyer's right to rely thereon.  Buyer shall conduct its investigation  hereunder
in such manner as will not cause any unreasonable  disruption to the business of
the  Facility.  If  during  the  course  of its  due  diligence  Buyer  uncovers
information  about the  Sellers or the  Facility  which  would  cause any of the
representations  and warranties of Sellers  contained in Article IV to be untrue
or incomplete,  the breach created thereby shall be deemed to be waived by Buyer
unless Buyer has notified Seller prior to the date hereof.

                           (b)      In the  event  of the  termination  of  this
Agreement,  Buyer will deliver to Sellers all  documents,  work papers and other
materials  hereunder  obtained  from  Sellers  and  relating  to  Sellers or the
transactions herein contemplated  (herein the "Confidential  Materials").  Buyer
shall  keep  the   Confidential   Materials   confidential  and  shall  use  the
Confidential  Materials solely for the purposes of evaluating the suitability of
the Facility for purchase and operating the Facility after the Closing; provided
that  Buyer may make any  disclosures  of  Confidential  Materials  required  by
regulatory  authorities.  Buyer shall not disclose the Confidential Materials to
any person other than  directors,  officers,  accountants and attorneys of Buyer
(collectively   "Representatives")   and  may  only  disclose  the  Confidential
Materials to  Representatives on a "need to know" basis. Prior to receipt of any
Confidential  Materials,  Buyer shall require its Representatives to agree to be
bound by the terms of this Section  6.1(b).  Buyer shall be responsible  for any
breach of this  Agreement  by and of its  Representatives  or by any other party
receiving  Confidential  Materials  from or through  Buyer.  Buyer shall defend,
indemnify  and hold  harmless  the Sellers and each of them from and against any
and  all  claims,  demand,  causes  of  action,  losses,  damages,  liabilities,
judgments,   costs  and  expenses  (including   attorneys'  fees)  (collectively
"Claims")  asserted against or suffered by Sellers or any of them as a result of
any  violation  of, or failure to comply with,  the  provisions  of this Section
6.1(b)  by Buyer or any of its  Representatives.  Seller  shall not be deemed to
have waived any of their rights or remedies on account of their  failure,  delay
or forbearance in exercising any such right or remedy in a particular  instance.
The restrictions in this Section 6.1(b) shall terminate upon the purchase of the
Facility by Buyer.  Regardless  of any purchase,  however,  any claim by Sellers
based on a breach of or default  under any  provision of this Section  6.1(b) or
the  indemnification  set forth above in this Section 6.1(b),  which claim arose
from events  occurring prior to such purchase shall not be  extinguished  unless
waived by Sellers in writing.  The terms and  conditions of this Section  6.1(b)
shall  remain in full force and effect  indefinitely  with respect to any Assets
not acquired by Buyer and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  Upon
a  termination  of this  Agreement,  Buyer will  deliver the  audited  financial
statements  of the  Facility  to  Sellers  to the  extent  permitted  by Buyer's
auditors.

                  6.2 Maps, Plans, Surveys, etc. Sellers shall deliver, or cause
to be  delivered,  to the  Buyer,  without  charge,  all plans,  maps,  surveys,
descriptions,  and title  reports  respecting  the Real Property and the use and
occupancy  thereof  in  Sellers'  possession  that  exist as of the date of this
Agreement,  which  materials  shall be returned to Sellers if this  Agreement is
terminated.

investigations  will be  physically  intrusive  on the Facility  unless  Sellers
consent  thereto,  which  consent  shall not be  reasonably  withheld  (the "Due
Diligence  Review");  provided,  however,  nothing  herein shall be construed as
amending or modifying in any manner the representations or warranties of Sellers
set forth in this  Agreement,  which  representations  and  warranties  shall be
separate from and unaffected by Buyer's Due Diligence  Review except as provided

so terminated, and shall continue to be enforceable.

                  7.5 Pursuit of Consents  and  Approvals.  Prior to the Closing
Buyer shall undertake a good faith effort, at Buyer's sole cost and expense,  to

the Sellers  relating to the  Facility,  any  proprietary  data or trade secrets

restrictions  contained  in this Section 10.6 are  reasonable  and  necessary to
protect  the  legitimate  business  interests  of Buyer  and that any  violation
thereof  by it would  result  in  irreparable  harm to Buyer.  Accordingly,  the
Sellers  agree  that  upon  the  violation  by them  of any of the  restrictions
contained in this Section 10.6, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain from any court
of competent  jurisdiction a preliminary and permanent injunction as well as any
other relief  provided at law or equity,  under this Agreement or otherwise.  In

proceeding,  then the parties agree that the period of time or the scope of such

both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.

of review of the Facility's financial  statements,  Sellers shall cooperate with
Buyer and its  certified  public  accountants,  if Buyer deems it  necessary  or
desirable, to assist in the audit of the balance sheets and statements of income
and  changes in  financial  position of the  Facility  for each of the three (3)
calendar years ended prior to Closing. Such audits shall be conducted at Buyer's
expense.

                   At  Buyer's   request,   Sellers  shall  cooperate  with  all
reasonable  requests of Buyer and its auditors necessary to audit all previously
unaudited  periods for the purposes of enabling Buyer to make a public  offering
of its securities  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the


                                       32

"Securities Act"), and shall permit such financial  statements to be included in
Buyer's  registration  statement filed with the Securities  Exchange  Commission
under the Securities  Act and Buyer's  prospectus  used in connection  with such
offering.  All fees and expenses  incurred in compiling the  foregoing  shall be
borne by Buyer.

                           (b)      Sellers,  if the Filing  Date does not occur

may be terminated  after the Non-Refund Date at any time at or prior to the time
of Closing by:

                           (a)      The Buyer,  if any  condition  precedent  to
Buyer's obligations hereunder, including without limitation those conditions set
forth in Article VIII hereof,  have not been  satisfied by the Closing  Date, or
pursuant to Section  12.1,  if the Assets have been  damaged or  destroyed  as a
result of fire, other casualty or otherwise  damaged or destroyed for any reason
whatsoever;

                           (b)      Sellers,   if  any  condition  precedent  to

                           (c)      The  mutual  consent  of the  Buyer  and the
Sellers.

                  11.3  Effect  of  Termination.  If  a  party  terminates  this
Agreement pursuant to this Article XI, this Agreement shall become null and void
without any liability of any party to the other; provided, however, that if such
termination is by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or if such termination is by
the  Sellers  pursuant  to  Section  11.2(b)  nothing  herein  shall  affect the
non-breaching  party's right to damages on account of such other party's breach.
Furthermore,  nothing in this  Section  11.3 shall  affect the Buyer's  right to
specific performance of the Sellers'  obligations at Closing hereunder.  If this
Agreement is terminated under Section 11.1, the Deposit shall refunded to Buyer.
If this  Agreement  is  terminated  by Sellers  pursuant to Section  11.2(b) the
Deposit  shall  become the sole and absolute  property of Sellers.  In the event
that this  Agreement is  terminated  for any other reason under this Article XI,
except for the failure of a condition under

Section 8.6 (as such Section  relates to approvals or consents which Sellers are
required  to  obtain),  inability  of Sellers to deliver  title to the  Facility
subject only to the Permitted  Exceptions,  the occurrence of a casualty or loss
as described in Section 12.1, or the  suspension or revocation of the Adult Care
Home License issued by the Department of Health and  Environment of the State of
Kansas necessary to operate the Facility,  the Deposit shall become the sole and
absolute  property of Sellers.  Sellers  shall have the right to cure any of the
occurrences  or conditions set forth in the prior sentence for a period of sixty
(60) days following the Closing Date


                       ARTICLE XII: CASUALTY, RISK OF LOSS

its sole and  absolute  discretion,  within  ten (10)  days of  receipt  of such
notice,  to (i)  elect  not to  proceed  with the  Closing  and  terminate  this
Agreement,   or  (ii)  proceed  to  Closing  and  consummate  the   transactions
contemplated  hereby and  receive  any and all  insurance  proceeds  received or

                     ARTICLE XIII: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
                     --------------------------------------

                  13.1 Survival of  Representations  and Warranties.  Subject to
the  provisions  of  Section  10.2  hereof,  all  representations,   warranties,
covenants  and  agreements  made  by each  party  in  this  Agreement  or in any
Schedule,  certificate,  document or list  delivered by any such party  pursuant
hereto  shall  survive the Closing  Date  Subject to the  provisions  of Section
6.1(a) hereof,  notwithstanding any investigation  conducted before or after the
Closing or the  decision  of any party to  consummate  the  Closing,  each party
hereto  shall be  entitled  to rely and is hereby  declared  to have  reasonably
relied upon the representations and warranties of the other party.

                  13.2 Public Announcements. Any general public announcements or
similar  media  publicity  with respect to this  Agreement  or the  transactions
contemplated  herein  (other than  contained  in or with  respect to the Initial
Public  Offering)  shall be at such time and in such manner as shall be mutually
agreed upon by the parties;  provided that nothing  herein shall prevent  either
party,  upon  notice to the other,  from  making  such  written  notices as such
party's counsel may consider advisable in order to satisfy the party's legal and
contractual obligations in such regard.

                 13.3  Costs  and  Expenses.   Except  as   expressly  otherwise
provided  in this  Agreement,  each  party  hereto  shall bear its own costs and

                  13.4 Performance. In the event of a breach by any party of its
obligations hereunder,  the other party shall have the right, in addition to any
other remedies  which may be available,  to obtain  specific  performance of the
terms of this Agreement,  and the breaching party hereby waives the defense that
there  may be an  adequate  remedy  at law.  Should  any  party  default  in its
performance,  or other  remedy,  the  prevailing  party shall be entitled to its
reasonable attorneys' fees.

                  13.5 Benefit and  Assignment.  This Agreement binds and inures
to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and proper  assigns.  The
Buyer may not assign its  interest  under this  Agreement to any other person on
entity without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided, however, that
Buyer may assign its rights,  duties and  obligations  hereunder  to one or more
subsidiaries  or  affiliates  of Buyer,  or to one or more  limited  or  general
partnerships of which either Buyer or one of its subsidiaries is the controlling
general partner, without such consent; and further provided that in the instance
of such assignment  Buyer shall remain liable for  consummating  the Closing and
performing  all of its other  obligations as provided in this  Agreement.  Buyer
shall give Sellers  prompt  written  notice of any  permitted  assignment of its
interest  under  this  Agreement.  An  assignment  which  is  not  permitted  in

more  counterparts,  and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

                  13.7  Cooperation - Further  Assistance.  Subject to the terms
and conditions  herein  provided,  each of the parties hereto shall use its best
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, such action,  to execute and deliver,  or

and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable under
the provisions of this Agreement and under applicable law to consummate and make
effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  13.9  Waiver,  Discharge,  etc.  This  Agreement  shall not be
released, discharged, abandoned, changed or modified in any manner, except by an
instrument in writing  executed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto by
their duly  authorized  officer or  representative.  The failure of any party to
enforce at any time any of the provisions of this  Agreement  shall in no way be
construed  to be a waiver of any such  provision,  nor in any way to affect  the
validity  of this  Agreement  or any  part  hereof  or the  right  of any  party
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of
this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

                  13.10 Rights of Persons Not Parties. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to create rights in persons not parties hereto,  other
than the successors and proper assigns of the parties hereto.

                  13.11 Exchange.  It is the intent of each of the Sellers,  but
not a  condition  to the  Closing,  to receive  other  "like-kind"  property  in
exchange for its or his  undivided  interest in and to the  Facility  instead of
cash. Buyer agrees to fully cooperate with each of the Sellers in achieving such
exchange. Buyer agrees that each Seller may assign its or his undivided interest
in this Agreement to a "qualified  intermediary" for the purpose of facilitating
the exchange.  It is  understood  and agreed  between the parties that:  (i) the
undivided interest held by each Seller in and to the Facility is independent and
separate from the undivided  interest in and to the Facility held by each of the
other Sellers;  (ii) this Agreement,  as it relates to the undivided interest in
and to the Facility held by each of the Sellers, is a separate transaction;  and
(iii) the aggregate  Purchase  Price being paid for the Facility is to allocated
between the Sellers in the same proportion as their  individual  interest in and
to the Facility, as follows:

         Jon Kardatzke                                     5%

Notwithstanding  that this Agreement  constitutes a separate transaction between
Buyer and each of the Sellers,  the  obligations  of the parties  hereunder  are
contingent upon Buyer acquiring all of the undivided interests of Sellers in and
to the Facility.

                  13.12  Governing Law. This Agreement  shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas,  disregarding  any
rules relating to the choice or conflict of laws.

                  13.13  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original,  but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  13.14 Severability.  Any provision, or distinguishable portion
of any  provision,  of the  Agreement  which is  determined  in any  judicial or
administrative  proceeding to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability  without  invalidating the remaining  provisions hereof, and
any  such  prohibition  or   unenforceability  in  any  jurisdiction  shall  not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  It
is the  intention of the parties that if any  provision of Section 10.6 shall be
determined to be overly broad in any respect,  then it should be  enforceable to
the  maximum  extent  permissible  under the law.  To the  extent  permitted  by
applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders a provision
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

                           --------------------------

                                   BACKGROUND
                                   ----------

                  WHEREAS,   Seller  is  the  owner  of  that  certain  76-  bed

                  WHEREAS,  Buyer wishes to acquire,  and Seller wishes to sell,
the Facility, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing and the
mutual  covenants,   agreements  and   representations   and  warranties  herein
contained, Seller and Buyer, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


                     ARTICLE I: SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS
                     --------------------------------------

                  1.1 Acquired  Assets.  Subject to the terms and  conditions of
this Agreement, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), Buyer will acquire from
Seller, and Seller will sell,  assign,  transfer and convey to Buyer, all of the
assets,  properties and business of Seller that comprise the Facility including,
without  limitation,  the  real  property  and  all  improvements  thereon  (the
"Improvements"),   together  with  all  rights,   easements,   privileges,   and
hereditaments  belonging or appertaining thereto or any additions thereto,  free
and clear of all liens,  mortgages and  encumbrances,  all as more  particularly
described  on Schedule  1.1  attached  hereto (the  "Property"),  and such other
property  owned by Seller that  comprises,  including  without  limitation,  all
tangible,  intangible,  real, personal or mixed property, the Inventory (defined
herein),  claims and  rights  under  contracts,  Designated  Contracts  (defined
herein), telephone numbers, furniture,  fixtures,  equipment,  supplies, prepaid
items, surveys,  building plans, good will, and, to the extent permitted by law,
all permits,  licenses and  certificates of need and other rights held by Seller
with  respect to the  ownership  or  operation of the Facility as the same shall
exist on the Closing  Date,  as the case may be, and all of  Seller's  books and
records pertaining to the foregoing all as more fully set forth on the Schedules
attached  hereto,   but  excluding  all  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  accounts
receivable,  (together all such 


                                        1

<PAGE>



properties,  assets  or business  to  be  conveyed  to Buyer from  Seller at the
Closing  are  hereafter referred to as the "Assets").

                  1.2  Assumption  of  Liability.  Except as expressly  provided
herein,  Buyer shall not assume, nor in any way be liable or responsible for any
claims, lawsuits, liabilities, obligations or debts of Seller, including without
limitation  any  accounts  payable,  employment  or other  taxes,  and any other
obligation or liability of Seller to pay money whatsoever.

                  Notwithstanding  the provisions of the  immediately  preceding
paragraph,  on  the  Closing  Date,  contingent  upon  the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby,  Buyer shall  assume and  thereafter  in due
course fully satisfy those  obligations  arising under the Designated  Contracts
(defined herein) specified  pursuant to Section 1.3 below and assigned by Seller
to Buyer,  with respect to, and only with respect to,  performance  and payments
owed that become due thereunder subsequent to the Closing Date.  Liabilities and
obligations  under  such  Designated   Contracts  that  have  accrued,   or  the
performance  of  which  is  due,  on or  prior  to the  Closing  Date,  and  all
liabilities  and  obligations  under all other  Contracts  shall remain the sole
responsibility  of  Seller  and  shall be paid or  performed  on or prior to the
Closing Date.

                  1.3      Designated Contracts.

                           (a)      As soon as practicable after the date hereof
but in no event later than the day immediately preceding the Escrow Closing Date
(as defined in Section 3.2  hereof),  Buyer shall  deliver  notice in writing to
Seller designating which, if any, of the Contracts (defined herein) set forth on
Schedule  4.7  will  be  assigned  to and  assumed  by  Buyer  (the  "Designated
Contracts").  Such notice of designation will be set forth on Schedule 1.3 to be
attached hereto.  If within said period of time Buyer fails to so deliver notice
to Seller,  Buyer will be deemed to have  designated  none of the  Contracts and
Seller will remain fully liable  thereunder.  To the extent Buyer makes any such
designation,  Seller  shall at Closing be  obligated to assign all of its right,
title and  interest  under such  Contracts  to Buyer and Buyer shall  assume the
obligations accruing after Closing under such Designated Contracts.

                           (b)      Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
contained  herein other than as disclosed on Schedule 4.7, Buyer is not assuming
and will  not be  responsible  for any  liabilities  or  obligations  under  the
Designated  Contracts incurred on or occurring before the Closing Date; all such
liabilities and obligations  remaining the sole and exclusive  responsibility of
Seller pursuant to Section 1.2 herein and shall be paid or performed on or prior
to the Closing Date.

                           (c)      Immediately  after notice of the designation
by Buyer of the  Contracts  to be assigned  by Seller,  Seller will use its best
efforts  and shall  diligently  proceed to obtain any  consents  of any  parties
necessary to permit the  assignment of the  Designated  Contracts.  In the event
that any of the Designated Contracts are not assignable,  or the parties to such
Designated Contract fail or refuse to consent to any assignment on or before the
Closing  Date,  Buyer shall have no  liability to assume and will not assume any
such Designated Contracts.

                           ARTICLE II: PURCHASE PRICE
                           --------------------------

                  2.1  Determination and Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase
price of the Assets  shall be TWO  MILLION  SEVEN  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  AND 00/100
($2,700,000.00)  DOLLARS,  subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2.2 and
2.3 below (the "Purchase  Price").  Such amount shall be payable in cash by wire
transfer of immediately available funds as follows:

                           (a)      on the date hereof, Buyer will place the sum
of Sixty Thousand  ($60,000.00) Dollars in an escrow account with First American
Title  Insurance  Company  of New York as escrow  agent  (the  "Escrow  Agent"),
pursuant to that certain  Purchase Price Escrow  Agreement of even date herewith
between Buyer,  Seller and the Escrow Agent, a copy of which is attached  hereto
as Exhibit  2.1,  which  amount  will be applied  to the  Purchase  Price at the
Closing;  provided  that the escrow  amount  will be  released  to Buyer if this
Agreement  is  terminated  for any reason under  Article IX other than  Sections
9.6(b) and 9.18 hereof; and

                           (b)      the  balance of the  Purchase  Price will be
payable on the Closing Date pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof.

                  2.2 Certain Adjustments to the Purchase Price. In addition, at
the Closing  hereunder,  Seller shall deliver to Buyer  Schedule 2.2 listing the
amount of any prepayments  received by Seller prior to Closing on account of any
goods or services to be  rendered  or supplied by Seller.  and such  prepayments
shall adjust the Purchase Price at Closing.

                  2.3 Transfer  Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the Closing Date, the
following  adjustments  and prorations  shall be computed as of the Closing Date
with respect to the following  taxes (unless  otherwise  stated  herein) and the
cash  portion of the  Purchase  Price shall be  adjusted,  upward or downward as
appropriate, to reflect such prorations:

                           (a)      Transfer  Taxes and Escrow  Fees.  All state
and local real estate transfer and recording taxes or fees and escrow fees shall
be borne solely by the Buyer.

                           (b)      Real Estate Taxes,  etc. Real property taxes
and all other  public or  governmental  charges  against  the Assets  (including
charges for sewer,  water,  drainage or other services)  assessed for the fiscal
year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be adjusted  and  apportioned  as of
the Closing Date.

                           (c)      Personal  Property Taxes.  Personal property
taxes attributable to the personal property comprising the Assets for the fiscal
year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be adjusted  and  apportioned  as of
the Closing Date and paid thereafter by Buyer.

                           (d)      Service  Contracts,  Leases  and  Utilities.
Except as otherwise  provided in Section 1.3, all  prepayments  made or payments
due under any  continuing  service  contracts  and leases  affecting the Assets,
including without limitation water, sewer, electric, gas and


                                        3

<PAGE>



utility bills,  parking,  garbage removal, and maintenance  agreements  shall be
adjusted and apportioned as of the Closing Date and such  obligations thereafter
shall be assumed by Buyer.

                           (e)      Sales  Taxes.  Any  applicable  sales  taxes
payable in  connection  with the transfer of the Assets shall be borne solely by
the Buyer.

                  2.4 Other  Prorations.  All other charges and fees customarily
prorated and adjusted in similar  transactions in the locale in which the Assets
are situated  (including  without  limitation any and all employee  benefits not
otherwise  governed by Section  2.2) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date in
accordance with such custom and thereafter be assumed by Buyer.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the Closing Date because  current bills or  statements  are
not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills), the parties shall prorate such
items upon  receipt of the final bill of  statement,  but in no event later than
ninety (90) days after  Closing;  provided,  that any bill received by Buyer for
expenses  incurred  prior to the Closing  Date shall be paid by Seller.  Without
limiting the foregoing,  in the event the Closing Date is not the first business
day of a month,  any items set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 accruing after
the Calculation  Date but prior to the Closing Date shall be estimated,  subject
to adjustment  aforesaid,  and such  estimates  shall reduce the Purchase  Price
pursuant to Sections  2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. The Seller shall use its best efforts to
have all utility  meters read on the Closing Date so as to accurately  determine
the proration of current utility bills.

                  2.5 Operating and Debt Service  Payments.  Commencing on April
1, 1996,  Buyer  shall pay the sum of Twenty  Thousand  ($20,000.00)  Dollars to
Seller on the first day of each  month  until  the  Closing  Date to cover  debt
service and operating expenses for the Facility;  provided, however, that if the
condition  contained  in Section  9.19 has not been  satisfied by June 15, 1996,
Buyer shall have no  obligation to make such  payments  until such  condition is
satisfied.  If the Closing does not occur,  Buyer shall pay an additional  Forty
Thousand ($40,000.00) Dollars to Seller.

                  2.6 Furniture. Pursuant to the attached description and budget
for the  furniture  set forth on  Schedule  2.6,  Seller  shall  coordinate  the
ordering and furnishing of the Facility. Any amount paid for such furniture over
$60,000 shall increase the Purchase Price.


                            ARTICLE III: THE CLOSING
                            ------------------------

                  3.1      Time and Place of Closing.

                           (a)      Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, except as set
forth in  paragraph  (b) of this  Section,  the closing (the  "Closing")  of the
purchase and sale of the Assets  contemplated by this Agreement shall take place
on the later of the  closing  date of the  initial  public  offering  of Buyer's
common  stock  (the  "Initial  Public  Offering")  or the date of receipt of all
certificates of occupancy for the Facility  required by any governmental  agency
with authority over the Facility (the "Closing Date"); but in no event shall the
Closing take place later than August 1, 1996 if all of the  conditions set forth
in Article IX have been satisfied. Seller shall deliver possession of the Assets
to Buyer, which shall accept the same on said date.


                                        4

<PAGE>





                           (b)      If  prior  to or by the  Closing  Date,  the
state agency or agencies  with  jurisdiction  over the licensing of the Facility
notifies Buyer that there exist  impediments to such agency or agencies  issuing
to the Buyer a license to operate  the  Facility  immediately  upon the  Buyer's
acquisition  of the  Assets,  then,  in such  event,  Buyer shall be entitled to
extend the Closing Date for a period sufficient to meet such requirements.

                           (c)      If the  Initial  Public  Offering  does  not
close by August 1, 1996,  then Buyer shall  forfeit the  deposit  under  Section
2.1(a) hereof unless Buyer elects to waive such condition to Closing.

                  3.2      Deliveries.

                           (a)      On  the  day   immediately   preceding   the
reasonably anticipated effective date of Buyer's registration statement relating
to the Initial Public Offering ("the Escrow Closing  Date"),  the parties hereto
shall,  if the Closing is  expected to occur on the closing  date of the Initial
Public  Offering,  enter into the Closing Escrow  Agreement  attached  hereto as
Exhibit  3.2,  and shall  deliver the  following  documents  to the escrow agent
thereunder to be held in accordance therewith:

                                    (i)     Seller  shall  deliver  such  deeds,
bills  of  sale,  endorsements,  assignments  and  other  instruments  of  sale,
conveyance, transfer and assignment, satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer
and its counsel (including,  without limitation, the Bill of Sale and Assignment
of Contracts described in Section 9.10 hereof),  as may be reasonably  requested
by Buyer,  in order to convey to Buyer good and  marketable  title to the Assets
(other than the Real Property), free and clear of all claims, charges, equities,
liens, security interests and encumbrances except for the Permitted Encumbrances
(as defined in Section 9.8 hereof).

                                    (ii)    Seller  shall  deliver  to Buyer all
written  consents which are required under any  Designated  Contract  hereunder;
provided, however, that as to any Designated Contract the assignment of which by
its terms requires prior consent of the parties thereto,  if such consent is not
obtained  prior to or on the Escrow Closing Date,  Seller shall deliver  written
documentation  setting  forth  arrangements  for the  transfer  of the  economic
benefit of such  Designated  Contracts  to Buyer as of the Escrow  Closing  Date
under terms and  conditions  reasonably  acceptable to the Buyer,  in accordance
with the terms of Section 1.3 hereof.

                                   (iii)    Seller shall deliver a warranty deed
with warranty against  grantor's acts in accordance with the law of the State of
Florida to each parcel of the Real  Property and all  Improvements  thereof,  in
form  reasonably  acceptable to Buyer and its counsel,  with good and marketable
title,  free and clear of all mortgages,  liens,  charges or other  encumbrances
except (i) the Permitted Encumbrances; and (ii) the standard exceptions normally
contained in Schedule  B-1 to a T-1 Owners  Policy and any  exceptions  that are
standard in the State of Florida for all properties  similarly  used;  provided,
however, the Seller, at Buyer's request, shall provide such affidavits to the


                                        5

title  company or take such other actions as may be  reasonably  requested  that
would enable the title company to remove any of such standard exceptions.  Buyer
shall  deliver a check in  payment  of all  transfer  taxes and  recording  fees

person,  or any other person,  firm or corporation  owns or has any proprietary,
financial or other interest, direct or indirect, in whole or in part in any such
License  owned,  possessed  or  used in the  operation  of the  Facility  as now
operated.

                  4.9      Title, Condition of Personal Property.

                           (a)      Except for the security interests listed and
described on Schedule  4.9(a),  Seller has good and marketable title to all such
tangible  and  intangible  personal  property  located  at or used by  Seller in
connection  with the  ownership  or  operation  of the  Facility,  subject to no
mortgage,  security interest, pledge, lien, conditional sales agreement,  lease,
claim,  encumbrance  or charge,  or restraint on transfer  whatsoever.  No other
person  has any  right to the use or  possession  of any of such  property  and,
except  as set  forth on  Schedule  4.9(a),  no  currently  effective  financing
statement with respect to such property has been filed in any jurisdiction,  and
Seller has not signed any such  financing  statement or any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During the five (5) year period preceding the date hereof,  Seller has conducted
its  business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or  trade names "Cabot
Pointe, Inc." and "Assisted Care Facilities,  Inc." All of the personal property
is in good  operating  condition and repair and is functioning in the manner and
for the purpose for which it was  intended  and is in  compliance  with (and the
operation thereof is in compliance with) all applicable Federal, state and local
laws, rules and regulations,  and is sufficient and suitable to enable the Buyer
to operate the Facility in a normal and efficient manner.

                           (b)      Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9(b), none
of the personal  property used by Seller in connection with the operation of the
Facility  is  subject  to a  conditional  sale,  security  interest  or  similar
arrangement.  Schedule  4.9(b) sets forth a complete and correct copy of each of
the personal  property  leases  relating to the Facility as to which Seller is a
party (together with all

accurate.   All  of  said  personal  property  leases  are  valid,  binding  and
enforceable in accordance with their  respective terms and are in full force and
effect. Seller is not in default under any of such leases and there has not been
asserted,  either by or against  Seller under any of such leases,  any notice of
default,  set-off, or claim of default.  To the best of Seller's knowledge,  the
parties  to such  leases  other  than the  Seller  are not in  default  of their
respective  obligations under any of such leases, and there has not occurred any
event  which  with the  passage  of time or  giving of  notice  (or both)  would
constitute  such a  default  or  breach  under  any of such  leases.  Except  as
otherwise set forth on Schedule 4.9(b), each of said personal property leases is
assignable to Buyer without the consent of the lessor of such Facility.

exceptions of any kind whatsoever.

                           (b)      There are no leases or other  agreements  of
Seller as lessor,  granting  any third party the right to use or occupy any part

                           (b)      Buyer covenants and shall  indemnify  Seller

of first refusal on Seller's future development projects.

                           (d)      The    Seller    acknowledges    that    the
restrictions  contained  in this Section 10.4 are  reasonable  and  necessary to
protect  the  legitimate  business  interests  of Buyer  and that any  violation
thereof by it would result in irreparable harm to Buyer. Accordingly, the Seller
agrees that upon the  violation  by it of any of the  restrictions  contained in
this Section 10.4, Buyer shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent
jurisdiction a preliminary and permanent  injunction as well as any other relief
provided at law or equity,  under this Agreement or otherwise.  In the event any
of the foregoing restrictions are adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding,  then
the parties agree that the period of time or the scope of such  restrictions (or
both)  shall be  adjusted  in such a manner  or for such a time (or  both) as is
adjudged to be reasonable.

                  12.1    Termination.  This  Agreement may be terminated at any
time at or prior to the time of Closing by:

Buyer's obligations hereunder, including without limitation those conditions set
forth in Article IX  hereof,  have not been  satisfied  by the  Closing  Date or

reason whatsoever;

                           (b)      Seller,   if  any  condition   precedent  to

Seller.

                  12.2  Effect  of  Termination.  If  a  party  terminates  this
Agreement because one of its conditions precedent has not been fulfilled,  or if
this Agreement is terminated by mutual consent, this Agreement shall become null
and void  without any  liability of any party to the other;  provided,  however,
that if such  termination is by Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1(a) as a result of
a breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in
this  Agreement,  or if such  termination  is by the Seller  pursuant to Section
12.1(b)  as a result  of a breach  by the  Buyer of any of its  representations,
warranties  or  covenants  in this  Agreement,  nothing  herein shall affect the
non-breaching  party's right to damages on account of such other party's breach.
Furthermore,  nothing in this  Section  12.2 shall  affect the Buyer's  right to
specific performance of the Seller's obligations at Closing hereunder.

                  14.9  Waiver,  Discharge,  etc.  This  Agreement  shall not be
released, discharged, abandoned, changed or modified in any manner, except by an
instrument in writing  executed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto by
their duly  authorized  officer or  representative.  The failure of any party to
enforce at any time any of the provisions of this  Agreement  shall in no way be
construed  to be a waiver of any such  provision,  nor in any way to affect  the
validity  of this  Agreement  or any  part  hereof  or the  right  of any  party
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of
this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

of any  provision,  of the  Agreement  which is  determined  in any  judicial or
administrative  proceeding to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability  without  invalidating the remaining  provisions hereof, and
any  such  prohibition  or   unenforceability  in  any  jurisdiction  shall  not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  It
is the  intention of the parties that if any  provision of Section 11.6 shall be
determined to be overly broad in any respect,  then it should be  enforceable to
the  maximum  extent  permissible  under the law.  To the  extent  permitted  by
applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which renders a provision
hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

         ENJOYMENT.

         B.   There shall pass with each Unit as appurtenances thereto:

         (1)      An undivided share in the Common Elements, Common Expenses and
                  Common  Surplus,  as  more  fully  described  in  Exhibit  "B"
                  attached hereto and made a part hereof.

         (2)      An exclusive easement for the use of the air space occupied by
                  the Unit as it exists at any  particular  time and as the Unit
                  may  lawfully be altered or  reconstructed  from time to time,
                  which  easement shall be terminated  automatically  in any air
                  space which is vacated from time to time.

         (3)      Membership of the Unit Owner in the Association, and the right
                  to use the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property and to
                  access  properties  owned by the  Association,  subject to the
                  rules  and  regulations  as  adopted  from time to time by the

         (4)      A perpetual,  non-exclusive easement for ingress and egress by

                  necessary to provide reasonable access to the public ways.

         (5)      An  exclusive  easement  for the use of  such  Limited  Common
                  Elements as may be  designated in this  Declaration  or in the
                  deed conveying the Unit.

         C. Each Unit Owner is entitled to the exclusive  possession of its Unit
subject to the provisions of this  Declaration.  Each Owner shall be entitled to
the use of the Common Elements and Association  Property, in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration and the purposes for which they are intended, but
no such use shall  hinder  or  encroach  upon the  lawful  rights of other  Unit
Owners.  There  shall be a joint  use of the  Common  Elements  and  Association
Property, and a mutual easement for that purpose is hereby created.

         D.   Each   Unit   is   identified   by   a   specific   numerical   or

Elements  which lie  between  the  bottom and top floors of such Unit shall be a
Limited  Common  Element  of the  Unit.  Each  Unit  Owner  shall  not  own  the
undecorated or unfinished surfaces of the perimeter walls,  floors, and ceilings
surrounding his Unit, nor shall he own pipes,  wires,  conduits or other utility
lines  running  through his Unit which are  utilized  for or serve more than one
Unit,  which  items are hereby made a part of the Common  Elements.  Said Owner,
however,  shall own the walls and partitions which are contained within his Unit
and inner  decorated or finished  surfaces of the  perimeter  walls,  floors and
ceilings, including plaster, paint and wallpaper.

         E. All air conditioning equipment, water heaters, heat pumps, elevators
and other  mechanical  equipment  serving  only one Unit shall be deemed to be a
part of the Unit.

         F. "Time share estates" may not be created in any Unit by any person or
entity.  Provided,  however,  the Units may be owned by a  partnership  or other
joint  ownership  arrangement  and all  partners or joint  owners shall have the
right to use the Unit on such basis as the partners or joint owners may agree.

         (5)      The property and installations  required for the furnishing of
                  Utility Services and other services to more than one Unit, the
                  Common  Elements or a Unit other than the Unit  containing the
                  installation.

         (6)      Fixtures  owned  or  held  for the  common  use,  benefit  and
                  enjoyment of all owners of Units in the Condominium.

         (7)      Easements  for  ingress  and egress  serving  the  Condominium
                  Property.

                                        4

         (9)      All glass  and  other  transparent  or  translucent  material,
                  insect  screens in windows  and doors,  door frames and jambs,
                  and the material  covering  other  openings in the exterior or
                  interior walls of Units, where applicable.

VI.      LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS.

         There  are  Limited  Common  Elements  appurtenant  to  Units  in  this
Condominium,  as reflected by the plot plan and survey  attached as Exhibit "C",
which shall  include,  but not be limited to, pool areas,  awnings and fenced-in
areas which are specifically  designated and delineated and accessible only from
the Unit to which  they are  appurtenant.  These  Limited  Common  Elements  are
reserved  for the use of the Unit to which they are  appurtenant  or assigned to
the  exclusion  of  other  Units,  and  there  shall  pass  with  a  Unit  as an
appurtenance  thereto the exclusive  right to use the Limited Common Elements so
appurtenant or assigned.

VII.     ALTERATIONS OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO UNITS AND COMMON ELEMENTS.

         A. Except in accordance with this Article, no Unit Owner shall make any
addition,  alteration or improvement  in or to his Unit, the Common  Elements or
Limited  Common  Elements to the extent that any such  addition,  alteration  or
improvement   (i)  is  visible   outside  of  the  Units  or  (ii)  affects  any
load-bearing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or roof portions of a Condominium
Building  that  contains  more  than  one  Unit.  Any  addition,  alteration  or
improvement  as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  is  referred to as a
Restricted  Improvement.  No Restricted  Improvement may be erected,  installed,
maintained or removed on the Condominium Property,  until an application for the
Restricted  Improvement setting forth the design,  construction,  specifications
and a plan showing the location of the structure has been approved in writing by
the Board of Directors (or an architectural review committee appointed by it) as
to quality, design and materials, harmony with existing structures, and location
with respect to topography  and finished grade  elevation.  Such approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall not be required in the event that the
Board of Directors (or its designee) fails to respond to the application  within
seven (7) business  days after  receipt of a written  request for same.  Nothing
contained in this  paragraph  shall be construed to lessen the obligation of any
Owner to make  prompt  application  for and  obtain all  necessary  governmental
permits and other  approvals  with  respect to any such  structure.  In no event
shall a Unit Owner make any  alterations in the portions of the  improvements of
the  Condominium  which are to be  maintained  by the  Association,  remove  any
portion thereof,  make any additions thereto, do any work which would jeopardize
the safety or soundness of the  Condominium  Building  containing  his Unit,  or
impair any easement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Board of Directors (or
its  designee)  shall  approve  the  application  as it relates to  improvements
required by law, although any aspect of the improvements which are discretionary
including but not limited to construction  methods,  materials  and/or aesthetic
considerations shall be subject to reasonable approval of the Board of Directors
(or its designee).  Further, the seven (7) business day prior notice requirement
described  above shall be shortened  and/or  eliminated as needed to accommodate
emergency  situations as determined in good faith by the Unit Owner  desiring to
make the addition, alteration or improvement; provided, however, where the prior
notice  requirement is eliminated  entirely,  such Unit Owner shall  nonetheless
submit the required  application  to the Board of Directors (or its designee) as
soon as reasonably practicable.

         B. A Unit  Owner  making  or  causing  to be made any  such  additions,
alterations or improvements agrees, and shall be deemed to have agreed, for such
Owner,  and his heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors  and assigns,  as
appropriate, to hold the Association,  any manager of the Condominium,  together
with all their  officers,  directors,  and  partners,  and all other Unit Owners
harmless from any liability or damage to the  Condominium  Property and expenses
arising therefrom,  and shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,  repair
and insurance  thereof from and after the date of  installation  or construction
thereof, as may be required by the Association.

VIII.    AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION.

         A. This Declaration may be amended at any regular or special meeting of
Unit Owners called or convened in accordance with the By-Laws by the affirmative
vote of Owners holding a majority of the total votes.  All  amendments  shall be
evidenced  by a  certificate  executed as required  by the  Condominium  Act and
recorded  among the public  records of the County,  and shall be effective  upon
recording.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no such amendment shall be effective
unless approved by at least the majority of the Mortgagees  (based upon one vote
for each first mortgage owned).

         B.  Invalidation  of any part of this  Declaration  or of any provision
contained in any plat of the  Condominium  Property or in a conveyance of a Unit
in the  Condominium by judgment,  court order or law shall not affect any of the
other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

IX.      THE ASSOCIATION, ITS POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         A. Subject to rights vested herein to the Unit Owners, the operation of
the Condominium shall be vested in the Association;  provided, however, that the
Association  may, to the extent  permitted by the Condominium  Act, by contract,
delegate its maintenance, management and operational duties and obligations. The
Association has been organized as a nonprofit Florida  corporation and a copy of
its  Articles  of  Incorporation  is  attached  hereto and made a part hereof as
Exhibit "D".

         B. No Unit Owner,  except a duly  elected  officer of the  Association,
shall have any authority to act for the Association.

         C. All Unit Owners shall  automatically  be members of the  Association
upon  delivery of a deed of  conveyance of fee simple title to a Unit and a Unit
Owner's  membership  shall  terminate  when he or she no longer  owns his or her
Unit.

         D. Unit Owners shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Unit owned in
accordance  with the voting  privileges  set forth in the  Articles and By-Laws.
Multiple  owners of a Unit shall  collectively  be  entitled to one (1) vote for
said Unit in  accordance  with voting  privileges  set forth in the Articles and
By-Laws. There shall be no cumulative voting.

         E. The powers and duties of the  Association  shall  include  those set
forth in the Articles,  the By-Laws,  the Condominium  Act, and this Declaration
and shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

         (1)      The  irrevocable  right of access  to each Unit at  reasonable
                  hours  as may be  necessary  for the  maintenance,  repair  or
                  replacement  of any  Common  Elements  therein  or  accessible
                  therefrom or another Unit, or at any hour for making emergency
                  repairs  necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements or
                  to another Unit.

         (2)      The power to levy and collect Assessments from Unit Owners and
                  to maintain, repair and replace the Common Elements where such
                  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement  is not reserved unto
                  the Unit Owners.

         (3)      The  keeping of  accounting  records in  accordance  with good
                  accounting  practices and the  Condominium  Act, which records
                  shall be open to inspection by Unit Owners or their authorized
                  representatives  at reasonable times, and written summaries of
                  which shall be  supplied  at least  annually to Unit Owners or
                  their authorized representatives.

         (4)      The  power  to  enter  into  contracts  with  others  for  the
                  maintenance,  management,  operation,  repair and servicing of
                  the   Condominium   Property  for  which  the  Association  is
                  responsible. The service

                                       6
<PAGE>



                  and maintenance  contracts referred to herein may delegate the
                  Association's duty to maintain,  preserve,  repair and replace
                  the  Common   Elements  and  other   property   owned  by  the
                  Association,  but shall not  relieve  each Unit Owner from his
                  personal  responsibility to maintain and preserve the interior
                  surfaces of his Unit and to paint, clean,  decorate,  maintain
                  and repair said Unit.

         (6)      The power to purchase Units in the Condominium and to acquire,
                  hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same.

         (7)      The power to obtain and maintain adequate insurance to protect
                  the  Association  and  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property.

         (8)      The power to acquire  title to  property  or  otherwise  hold,
                  convey,  lease and mortgage  Association  Property for the use
                  and benefit of the Unit Owners.

         (9)      The power to adopt and amend  reasonable rules and regulations
                  governing use of the Common Elements and Association Property.


         F. Except as provided by statute in case of condemnation or substantial
loss to the  Units or Common  Elements,  unless  at least  the  majority  of the
Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned),  and the Owners
holding a majority of the votes have given their prior  written  approval,  such
approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, the Association shall not be entitled
to:

         (1)      By  act  or  omission   seek  to  abandon  or  terminate   the
                  Condominium;

         (2)      Change the pro rata interest or  obligations of any individual
                  Unit for the purpose of (i) levying  Assessments or charges or
                  allocating  distributions  of  hazard  insurance  proceeds  or
                  condemnation awards, or (ii) determining the pro rata share of
                  ownership of each Unit in the Common Elements;

         (3)      Partition or subdivide any Unit;

         (4)      By act or  omission,  seek to abandon,  partition,  subdivide,
                  encumber,  sell or transfer the Common Elements or Association
                  Property;   provided   that  the  granting  of  easements  for
                  Utilities or for other purposes  consistent  with the intended
                  use of the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property by the
                  Owners  shall not be deemed a transfer  within the  meaning of
                  this clause; or

         (5)      Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to any portion of the
                  Condominium   for  other  than  the  repair,   replacement  or
                  reconstruction of such portion.

X.       BY-LAWS.

         The  administration  of  the  Association  and  the  operation  of  the
Condominium Property shall be governed by the By-Laws of the Association, a copy
of  which  is  attached  hereto  and  made a part  hereof  as  Exhibit  "E".  No
modification  of or amendment  to the By-Laws  shall be deemed valid unless duly
adopted  as  provided  in the  By-Laws  and set  forth in or  annexed  to a duly
recorded  amendment  to  this  Declaration   executed  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of the Condominium Act. No amendment to said By-Laws shall be adopted
which would affect or impair the  validity or priority of any mortgage  covering
any Condominium Parcel.

XI.      MAINTENANCE.

         A. Each Unit, and the furniture,  furnishings,  fixtures, equipment and
appliances  comprising a part thereof,  located therein,  or exclusively serving
the same shall be maintained, kept in good repair and replaced by and 

                                        7

<PAGE>



at the expense of the Owner(s) thereof. All maintenance, repairs or replacements
for which  Unit  Owners  are  responsible  and  obligated  to  perform  shall be
performed  promptly as the need arises.  Each Unit Owner shall  provide for pest
control within his or her Unit.  Provided,  however,  the Board of Directors may
determine that it is in the best interest of the Condominium to provide for pest
control on a building-by-building basis and in such event may so provide.

         B. The Association shall be responsible for (i) maintaining,  repairing
and replacing,  as needed,  all portions of the Common  Elements and Association
Property other than the Condominium  Buildings and (ii) performing  maintenance,
repairs and  replacements,  as needed,  of the Condominium  Buildings where such
maintenance,  repairs and replacement  primarily  benefit both Unit Owners.  The
Association  shall,  at the expense of all Unit  Owners,  repair all  incidental
damage  to  Units  resulting  from the  Association's  maintenance,  repairs  or
replacement of or to Common Elements and Association Property. The Association's
expenses of maintenance,  repairs and replacement  with respect to a Condominium
Building  shall be  assessed  against  each Unit  Owner in  accordance  with the
percentages  of benefit  realized by each Unit on account of same, as reasonably
determined  by the  Association.  The  Association's  expenses  of  maintenance,
repairs  and  replacement  with  respect  to  the  Common  Elements  other  than
Condominium  Buildings  shall be assessed  against each Unit Owner in accordance
with the ratio  between  the  square  footage  of its Unit and the total  square
footage of both Units.

         C. Where any  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement of a Condominium
Building  is needed,  and such  maintenance,  repairs  and/or  replacement  will
primarily  benefit only one Unit, the Owner of that Unit will be responsible for
performing  and  paying  for  such  maintenance,   repair  and/or   replacement.
Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if such  maintenance,  repairs and/or
replacement  will  confer  any  benefit  on the  Owner of the  other  Unit,  the
Association  shall  assess the other Unit Owner for the value of such benefit as
determined  by the  Association  in its  reasonable  discretion  and remit  such
assessment  to the Unit Owner who  performed  such  maintenance,  repair  and/or
replacement.

         D. In the event a Unit  Owner  fails to  maintain  his Unit and  Common
Elements or Limited Common Elements as required herein,  or makes any alteration
or additions without the required consent, or otherwise violates or threatens to
violate the provisions of this Declaration  relevant to maintenance,  alteration
and repair,  the Association  shall have the right to perform such  maintenance,
remove any unauthorized addition or alteration, and restore the property to good
repair and condition and charge the Unit Owner therefor.

         E. All maintenance,  repairs and/or replacement by Unit Owners shall be
subject to the  provisions  of Article VII above  regarding  alterations  of and
improvements to Units and Common Elements.

XII.     COMMON EXPENSES AND COMMON SURPLUS.

         A. Common  Expenses  shall  include the  Association's  expenses of the
operation,  maintenance,  repair  or  replacement  of the  Common  Elements  and
Association  Property,  costs of  carrying  out the  powers  and  duties  of the
Association,  costs of  maintaining  any  facilities  and property  owned by the
Association,  and  any  other  expense  designated  as  Common  Expenses  by the
Condominium Act, this  Declaration or the By-Laws.  The cost of a master antenna
television system or duly franchised cable television  service obtained pursuant
to a bulk contract  shall be deemed a Common Expense if so approved by the Board
of  Directors.  Common  Expenses,  to the  extent  so  approved  by the Board of
Directors, will also include reasonable  transportation services,  insurance for
directors and officers,  road maintenance and operation  expenses and restricted
access or roving patrol  services,  all of which are  reasonably  related to the
general  benefit of the Unit Owners,  even if such expenses do not attach to the
Common Elements or Condominium Property.

         B. Common Expenses shall be assessed  against Unit Owners in accordance
with the  fraction  set forth for such Unit in Exhibit "B"  attached  hereto and
made a part hereof.


                                        8

<PAGE>



         C. The  Common  Surplus,  if any,  shall be owned by Unit  Owners  in a
proportion  equal to those  proportions  of ownership in the Common  Elements as
provided in this Declaration.

XIII.    ASSESSMENTS:  LIABILITY, LIENS, PRIORITY, INTEREST AND COLLECTIONS.

         A. The  Association,  through  its Board of  Directors,  shall have the
power  to  determine  and fix the  sums  necessary  to  provide  for the  Common
Expenses,  including  the  expense  allocable  to services  being  rendered by a
management company with whom the Association may contract. The annual Assessment
shall initially be payable monthly in advance;  however,  the Board of Directors
shall have the power to  establish  other  collection  procedures.  The Board of
Directors  may include  sums to establish  reasonable  reserves  against  future
contingencies in each annual Assessment,  which reserves may be waived from time
to time by the required percentage of votes of the Owners.

         B. A Unit Owner, regardless of the manner in which he acquired title to
his Unit including, without limitation, a purchaser at a judicial sale, shall be
liable for all Assessments  while he is the Owner of a Unit. A grantee of a Unit
shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  with  the  grantor  for  all  unpaid
Assessments  against  the latter for his share of the Common  Expenses up to the
time of the conveyance, except that the liability for prior Assessments of first
Mortgagees  acquiring  title through  foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the Unit's  unpaid  Common  Expenses  and
regular periodic assessments which accrued or came due during the six (6) months
immediately preceding the acquisition of title and for which payment in full has
not been received by the  Association,  or (ii) one percent (1%) of the original
mortgage debt. The liability for Assessments may not be avoided by waiver of the
use or enjoyment of any Common Elements,  services or recreation facilities,  or
by  abandonment  of  the  Unit  against  which  the  Assessment  was  made.  The
Association may charge an administrative  late fee, in addition to interest,  on
any late  Assessment  payments not to exceed the maximum amount  permitted under
the Condominium Act.

         C.  Assessments and  installments  thereof not paid when due shall bear
interest  from the due date until paid at the maximum rate allowed under Florida
law. The Association may charge, in addition to the interest,  an administrative
late charge for  Assessments  not paid when due in an amount  established by the
Board  of  Directors  from  time to  time,  but not to  exceed  the  greater  of
Twenty-Five  Dollars ($25.00) or five percent (5%) of each  installment.  If the
delinquent installment(s) of Assessments and any charges thereon are not paid in
full when due,  the  Association  at its  option  may,  in  accordance  with the
requirements  of the Condominium  Act,  declare all of the unpaid balance of the
annual  Assessment to be immediately  due and payable without further demand and
may  enforce  the  collection  thereof  and all  charges  thereon  in the manner
authorized by law and this Declaration.

         Any payment  received by the Association  shall be applied first to any
interest accrued by the Association,  then to any administrative  late fee, then
to any costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collection,  and then to
the delinquent Assessment. The foregoing shall be applicable notwithstanding any
restrictive  endorsement,  designation or instruction in or  accompanying by the
payment.

         D. The Association  shall have a lien upon each  Condominium  Parcel to
secure  the  personal  obligation  of each Unit  Owner  thereof  for any  unpaid
Assessment  and  interest  thereon.  Such  lien  shall  also  secure  reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the  Association  incident to the collection of such
Assessment or  enforcement  of such lien. The lien shall be evidenced by a claim
recorded  among the public  records of Palm Beach County,  Florida in the manner
provided by the Condominium Act. As to other than first mortgages of record, the
lien  shall  relate  back  to the  recording  of  the  original  Declaration  of
Condominium  creating the Unit. As to first mortgages of record,  the lien shall
be effective from and as of the time of such  recording.  The Board of Directors
may take such action as it deems  necessary to collect  Assessments by either an
in personam action or lien  foreclosure,  or both, and may settle and compromise
the same if in the best interest of the  Association.  Said liens shall have the
priorities established by the Condominium Act.

         E. Liens for  Assessments may be foreclosed by suit brought in the name
of the  Association  in like  manner  as a  foreclosure  of a  mortgage  on real
property. In any such foreclosure, the court, in its discretion, may 

                                        9

<PAGE>



require the Unit Owner to pay a reasonable rental for the Condominium Parcel and
the court may  appoint a  receiver  to  collect  the  Assessments  which are the
subject of said proceeding.  The Association may bid for the Condominium  Parcel
at foreclosure  sale and apply as a cash credit against its bid all sums due the
Association secured by the lien being enforced,  and the Association may acquire
and hold, lease, mortgage and convey any Condominium Parcel so acquired.

         F. Any unpaid share of Common Expenses or Assessments for which a first
mortgage  Mortgagee is relieved  from  liability  under the  provisions  of this
Declaration  shall be deemed to be a Common Expense,  collectible  from all Unit
Owners,  including the acquirer of the  Condominium  Parcel,  his successors and
assigns.  A first mortgage Mortgagee may not, during the period of its ownership
of such Parcel,  whether or not such Parcel is  unoccupied,  be excused from the
payment  of some or all of the Common  Expenses  coming due during the period of
such ownership.

XIV.     TERMINATION OF CONDOMINIUM.

         A. If all Unit Owners and Mortgagees of Condominium Parcels execute and
duly record an instrument  terminating  the Condominium  Property,  or if "major
damage" occurs as defined hereinafter, the Condominium Property shall be removed
from the provisions of the Condominium Act and thereafter owned in common by the
Unit Owners. The undivided interest in the Property owned in common by each Unit
Owner shall then be the fractional  share of the undivided  interest  previously
owned by such Owner in the Common  Elements,  and any liens which  encumber  any
Condominium  Parcel shall be transferred to said undivided  interest of the Unit
Owner in the Property.

         B. If the Owners of at least  eighty five  percent  (85%) of the Common
Elements elect to terminate,  they shall have the option to buy the Units of the
other Unit  Owners for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the  meeting
wherein the election to  terminate  was taken.  The purchase  price shall be the
fair market value of the Units as of the date of said meeting as  determined  by
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration  Association.  The price
shall be paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the  determination of the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall be effective unless approved
by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first
mortgage owned).

XV.      EQUITABLE RELIEF.

         In  the  event  of  "major  damage"  to  or  destruction  of  all  or a
substantial  part  of  the  Condominium  Property  and if  the  Property  is not
repaired,  reconstructed or rebuilt within a reasonable period of time, any Unit
Owner shall have the right to  petition a court of  competent  jurisdiction  for
equitable relief which may, but need not, include termination of the Condominium
and partition.

XVI.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

         A. The  liability  of each Unit  Owner  for  Common  Expenses  shall be
limited to the amounts assessed against him from time to time in accordance with
the Condominium Act, this Declaration, the Articles and the ByLaws.

         B. A Unit Owner may be personally  liable for any damages caused by the
Association in connection with the use of the Common  Elements,  but only to the
extent of his or her pro rata  share of that  liability  in the same  fractional
share  as his  interest  in the  Common  Elements,  and in no event  shall  said
liability  exceed  the value of his Unit.  Each Unit  Owner  shall be liable for
injuries  or  damages  resulting  from an  accident  in his own Unit to the same
extent and degree that the owner of a house or any other property owner would be
liable for such an occurrence.

                                       10

<PAGE>




         C. In any legal  action  in which the  Association  may be  exposed  to
liability in excess of insurance coverage protecting it and the Unit Owners, the
Association  shall give notice of the exposure  within a reasonable  time to all
Unit  Owners,  and they shall have a right to intervene in and defend any action
arising therefrom.

XVII.    LIENS.

         A. No liens of any nature shall arise or be created  subsequent  to the
recording of this Declaration against the Condominium Property (as distinguished
from individual Units) without the unanimous consent of the Unit Owners.

         B. Unless a Unit Owner has  expressly  requested  or  consented to work
being  performed  or  materials  being  furnished  to his  Unit,  such  labor or
materials  may not be the basis for the filing of a lien against  same. No labor
performed or materials furnished to the Common Elements and Association Property
shall be the basis for a lien thereon unless  authorized by the Association,  in
which  event,  the same may be the basis for the  filing of a lien  against  all
Condominium  Parcels in the  proportions for which the Owners thereof are liable
for Common Expenses.

         C. In the event a lien against two or more Condominium  Parcels becomes
effective,  each Owner thereof may release his Condominium  Parcel from the lien
by paying the proportionate  amount attributable to his Condominium Parcel. Upon
such  payment,  it shall be the duty of the lienor to release the lien of record
from such Condominium Parcel.

XVIII.   EASEMENTS.

         A. An easement  shall exist for  pedestrian  traffic over,  through and
across  sidewalks,  hallways,  paths,  walks, and stairs,  and for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic over, through and across such portions of the Common Elements
as may from time to time be intended for such  purposes.  All of such  easements
shall be for the use and  benefit  of the Unit  Owners  and their  invitees  and
licensees;  provided,  however,  nothing  herein  shall be  construed to give or
create  in any  person  the right to park upon any  portion  of the  Condominium
Property  except to the extent  that space may be  specifically  designated  and
assigned for parking purposes or otherwise  approved by the Association for such
parking.

         B. The Condominium Property shall be subject to perpetual easements for
encroachments  presently existing or which may hereafter be caused by settlement
or movement of the Condominium  Building or minor  inaccuracies in construction,
which easements shall continue until such  encroachments no longer exist. If the
Condominium  Property  is  destroyed  and  then  rebuilt,  encroachments  due to
reconstruction  shall be permitted and a valid  easement for said  encroachments
shall exist. If any portion of the Common Elements  encroaches upon any Unit, or
any Unit encroaches upon the Common Elements,  as a result of the  construction,
reconstruction,  repair, shifting,  settlement or movement of any portion of the
improvements  contained in the  Condominium  Property,  a valid easement for the
encroachment  and for the  maintenance  of the same  shall  exist so long as the
encroachment exists.

         C. The  Condominium  Property  shall be subject to such  easements  for
utilities as may be  determined by the  Association  or required to properly and
adequately  serve the Condominium  Property as it exists from time to time. Each
of said easements,  whether  heretofore or hereafter  created,  shall constitute
covenants  running with the land of the  Condominium  and,  notwithstanding  any
other  provisions  of this  Declaration,  may not be  substantially  amended  or
revoked in such a way as to unreasonably  interfere with its proper and intended
use and purpose and shall survive the  termination  of the  Condominium.  To the
extent that the  creation of any such utility  easements  require the joinder of
Unit Owners,  the Association by its duly authorized  officers may, as the agent
or the  attorney-in-fact for the Unit Owners,  execute,  acknowledge and deliver
such  instruments;  and the Unit  Owners,  by the  acceptance  of deeds to their
Units, irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Association, through its
duly authorized  officers,  as their proper and legal  attorney-in-fact for such
purpose. Said appointment is coupled with

                                       11

<PAGE>



an interest and is therefore irrevocable.  Any such instrument executed pursuant
to this Article shall recite that it is made pursuant to this Article.

XIX.     USE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

         In order to provide for congenial occupancy of the Condominium Property
and for the  protection  of the value of the Units,  the use of the  Condominium
Property shall be in accordance  with the following  provisions,  so long as the
Condominium exists:

         A. No use  shall  be made of any  Unit  or of the  Common  Elements  or
Limited  Common  Elements  which will  increase the rate of  insurance  upon the
Condominium  Property without the prior written consent of the  Association.  No
Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common
Elements  which will result in a  cancellation  or  insurance on any Unit or any
part of the Common Elements, or which will be in violation of any law, including
without  limitation  any law,  rule or regulation  governing  the storage,  use,
generation,  or  disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  materials.  No waste shall be
committed in the Common Elements.

         B. No sign of any kind shall be displayed to public view on or from any
Unit or the Common  Elements  without the prior written  consent of the Board of
Directors, which may be withheld in their sole discretion.

         C. The Common  Elements and Limited Common  Elements shall be used only
for the purposes for which they are intended in the  furnishing  of services and
facilities  for  enjoyment  of the  Units.  There  shall  be no  obstruction  or
alteration  of, nor shall  anything  be stored,  altered or  constructed  in, or
removed from, the Common Elements of Limited Common Elements without the written
consent of the Association.

         D. No  obnoxious or offensive  activities  shall be permitted  upon the
Condominium  Property  nor any use or  practice  which is a nuisance to any Unit
Owner or its  invitees  or  licensees,  or which  interferes  with the  peaceful
possession and proper use of the  Condominium  Property by each Unit Owner.  All
parts  of the  Condominium  Property  shall  be  kept in a  clean  and  sanitary
condition and no rubbish, refuse, or garbage shall be allowed to accumulate, nor
shall any fire hazard be allowed to exist.

         E. No immoral, improper, offensive or unlawful use shall be made of the
Condominium  Property  or of  any  part  thereof  and  all  valid  laws,  zoning
ordinances  and  regulations  of all  governmental  bodies  having  jurisdiction
thereof shall be observed.  The  responsibility  of meeting the  requirements of
governmental  bodies  pertaining to  maintenance,  replacement,  modification or
repair of the  Condominium  Property  shall be the same as is  elsewhere  herein
specified.

         F. No Unit Owner  shall cause  anything  to be affixed or attached  to,
hung, displayed or placed on the exterior walls, doors,  balconies or windows of
the  Building  (including  but not limited to awnings,  signs,  storm  shutters,
screens,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment),  nor  plant or grow any type of
shrubbery,  flower,  tree,  vine,  grass or other  plant life  outside its Unit,
without the prior  written  consent of the  Association,  subject  always to the
provisions hereof.

         G. No parking of boats, trailers,  motor homes or recreational vehicles
shall be permitted on any part of the Condominium Property.

         H.  Reasonable   regulations  and  rules  concerning  the  use  of  the
Condominium  Property may be promulgated,  modified or amended from time to time
by the Board.  Copies of such rules and regulations and amendments thereto shall
be  furnished  by the  Association  to all  Unit  Owners  and  residents  of the
Condominium  upon request.  The Association  shall have the right to enforce all
restrictions  set forth in this Article and in the  Declaration in any manner it
deems necessary including,  without limitation,  suits for injunctions,  actions
for damages, or fines.

         I. The Unit  Owners  shall be bound by and perform  under the  Services
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "F".

                                       12

         J. Each Unit Owner shall continuously  operate in its Unit the business
operated in such Unit as of the recording  date of this  Declaration  (the "Main
Business") in accordance with legal requirements  including licensure applicable
to such Main Business. Specifically, Unit A is and shall continue to be operated
as a skilled nursing  facility,  and Unit B is and shall continue to be operated
as an Assisted  Life Care  Facility.  The services  operated in each Unit may be
supplemented as follows:

                  (1) Unit A can add services whose acuity/skill level is higher
than services it currently provides under its Main Business.

                  (2) Unit B can add services whose  acuity/skill level is lower
than services it currently provides under its Main Business.

                  (3) Each  Unit  shall be  entitled  to add  services  that are
permitted under the applicable  license,  if any, that specifically  governs the
Main Business  conducted in the Unit.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,
Unit B shall not be  permitted to include a  segregated  and secured  Alzheimers
ward.

                  (4) Each Unit shall be  entitled to add other  health  related
services that are not part of its Main Business and non-health  related services
so long as such services as described in this sentence are  complementary to the
Main Business.

                  (5)  If  any  change  and/or   supplement  of  use  materially
increases that Unit's usage of utilities which are not separately  metered,  the
Association shall assess the Owner of such Unit for the charges  attributable to
such increased usage as reasonably determined by the Association.

                  (6) No Unit shall add services not described above without the
prior  written  consent of the Owner of the other  Unit,  which  consent  can be
arbitrarily  withheld in the sole and  absolute  discretion  of such Owner.  The
decision of an Owner as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  shall not be
subject to  arbitration,  mediation,  litigation or other challenge on any basis
including without limitation a claim that the Owner's decision is unreasonable.

         K.  Neither Unit Owner shall sell,  lease or enter into any  management
agreement  in respect of the Unit owned by it at anytime  after the date  hereof
without the prior written  consent of the other Unit owner,  which consent shall
not be unreasonably  withheld;  provided,  however, that nothing herein shall be
construed as (A)  requiring any  non-affiliated  bona fide lender of either Unit
owner to secure the  consent of the other Unit  owner  prior to  exercising  its
remedies  in the  event  of a  default  under  any  applicable  loan  documents,
including,  but not limited,  to (i) the  appointment of a temporary  manager or
receiver, (ii) the conducting of a foreclosure sale with respect to the affected
Unit  or  (iii)  the  transfer  of  title  to  either  Unit  by  deed in lieu of
foreclosure  or (B)  binding a  purchaser  at such a  foreclosure  sale or party
taking title by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  to the consent  provisions of this
Section,  it  being  understood  and  agreed  that  such a lender  or  purchaser
including any Mortgagee  shall take title to the Unit free and clear of any such
consent  requirement  and  thereafter the consent  requirements  of this Section
shall be  deemed  to be null  and void  with  respect  to the Unit so  conveyed;
provided,  further,  that nothing  herein  shall be  construed as requiring  the
consent of either Unit Owner to the execution by the other party of a management
agreement  or lease  with an entity  under the same or common  control  with the
contracting party.

XX.      INSURANCE.

         A. Purchase of Insurance by Association.  The Association shall use its
best  efforts  to  obtain  and  maintain  adequate   insurance  to  protect  the
Association and the Common Elements and Association  Property.  The premiums for
such coverage and other  expenses in  connection  with said  insurance  shall be
assessed  against  the Unit  Owners as part of the  Common  Expenses.  The named
insured shall be the Association, individually and as agent for the Unit Owners,
without naming them, and as agent for their  Mortgagees.  The Association  shall
not maintain insurance

                                       13

<PAGE>


coverage  specifically required by this Declaration to be maintained by the Unit
Owners. Specific insurance to be maintained by the Association is as follows:

         (1)      comprehensive  general  public  liability and property  damage
                  insurance with respect to the Common  Elements and Association
                  Property  in  which  the  limits  of  public  liability  shall
                  initially  be not  less  than  $1,000,000.00  per  person  and
                  $5,000,000.00  per accident  and in which the property  damage
                  liability  shall be not less than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy
                  limits  shall  be  increased   consistent  with   commercially
                  reasonable practices on a periodic basis.

         (2)      comprehensive  coverage  on  boiler  and  machinery  equipment
                  comprising   part  of  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property, including electrical apparatus, if applicable.

         (3)      hazard insurance  against perils  customarily  included within
                  all-risk and fire and extended coverage, including earthquake,
                  flood and hurricane,  on  improvements  comprising part of the
                  Common Elements and Association Property in an amount equal to
                  the full replacement value thereof at the time of loss.

         (4)      Worker's  compensation  insurance meeting all the requirements
                  of the laws of Florida to the  extent  the  Association  hires
                  employees.

         (5)      Directors and officers liability insurance, if available.

         (6)      Such other insurance as the Board of Directors shall determine
                  from  time  to  time  to  be  desirable,   including,  without
                  limitation, such insurance as may be required by any agency of
                  the United  States  government  which  holds a first  mortgage
                  encumbering  a Unit  or  insures  to the  holder  thereof  the
                  payment of the same.

         B.       Additional    Requirements:    Additional    requirements   of
                  Association insurance are as follows:

         (1)      Every hazard  policy which is issued to protect a  Condominium
                  Building shall provide that the word "building"  wherever used
                  in the policy  includes,  but is not  necessarily  limited to,
                  fixtures,  installations or additions  comprising that part of
                  the building within the unfurnished  interior  surfaces of the
                  perimeter  walls,  floors and ceilings of the individual Units
                  initially  installed,  or replacements thereof of like kind or
                  quality,   in   accordance   with  the   original   plans  and
                  specifications.  Provided,  however,  the word "building" does
                  not include Unit floor  coverings,  wall  coverings or ceiling
                  coverings,  or  any  of the  following:  electrical  fixtures,
                  appliances,  water  heaters or  built-in  cabinets  within the
                  Units,  and heating and air  conditioning  equipment,  whether
                  located within or without the Unit.

         (2)      All  policies  required to be  maintained  by the  Association
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Florida,   which   shall  have  a   financial   rating  as  is
                  commercially  reasonable under the circumstances as determined
                  by the Association in its reasonable  discretion.  Deductibles
                  under the Association's policies of insurance shall not exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the Association.

         (3)      Premiums upon insurance  policies purchased by the Association
                  shall be assessed by the  Association  against the Unit Owners
                  as part of the Common  Expenses.  If, at any time, the cost of
                  the insurance  premiums may be deemed too high,  the Board may
                  adjust  such  insurance  coverage  as  it  deems  prudent  and
                  reasonable.

         C.       Purchase of Insurance  by Unit  Owners:  Each Unit Owner shall
                  maintain the following:

                                       14

<PAGE>





         (1)      a  policy  of  comprehensive   general  public  liability  and
                  property  damage  insurance  with respect to its Unit in which
                  the limits of public  liability  shall  initially  be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00  per person and $5,000,000.00 per accident
                  and in which the property  damage  liability shall be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy  limits  shall be  increased
                  consistent  with  commercially   reasonable   practices  on  a
                  periodic basis.

         (2)      insurance against perils customarily  included within all-risk
                  and fire and extended coverage,  including  earthquake,  flood
                  and hurricane, on improvements,  furniture, furnishings, trade
                  fixtures, equipment, and floor and wall coverings installed or
                  located in or made to its Unit in an amount  equal to the full
                  replacement value thereof at the time of the loss.

         (3)      All  policies  required  to be  maintained  by each Unit Owner
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Florida,  which  have a  financial  rating as is  commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable discretion.  Deductibles under a
                  Unit   Owner's   policies  of   insurance   shall  not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the  Association.  Policies  carried  by each  Unit  Owner may
                  contain  be  in  one  or  more  blanket,  umbrella  or  excess
                  liability covering other improvements of the Unit Owner.

         D.  Insurance  Held in Trust by  Association;  Shares of Proceeds.  All
hazard insurance  policies purchased by the Association shall be for the benefit
of the Association, the Unit Owners and their Mortgagees, as their interests may
appear,  and shall provide that all proceeds  covering  property losses shall be
paid to the  Association.  The duty of the Association with respect to insurance
proceeds  shall be to receive such  proceeds as are paid and to hold the same in
trust for the purposes  stated herein and for the benefit of the Unit Owners and
their Mortgagees in the following shares, which shares:

         (1)      Common  Elements.  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage to Common
                  Elements:  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage  to  improvements
                  comprising  part of the Common  Elements  shall be held in the
                  following undivided shares:

                           (a) When a  Condominium  Building is to be  restored,
                  for the Unit  Owner so damaged  in  proportion  to the cost of
                  repairing the damage  suffered by each Unit Owner,  which cost
                  shall be determined by the Association.

                           (b) When a Condominium Building is not to be restored
                  and such Condominium  Building contains more than one Unit, an
                  undivided  share for each Unit  Owner,  such  share  being the
                  ratio between the appraised value of its Unit to the appraised
                  value  of  both  Units,   such  appraisals  to  determine  the
                  respective  values as they  existed  immediately  prior to the
                  casualty.  A Unit Owner's  undivided  share  described in this
                  subparagraph is sometimes  referred to in this  Declaration as
                  the "Appraised Share."

                           (c) When a Condominium Building is not to be restored
                  and contains  only one Unit, a share for the Owner of the Unit
                  equal to all of the insurance  proceeds  less (i)  Association
                  expenses as described  below,  (ii) the cost of restoring  any
                  mandatory facilities to their condition as existed immediately
                  prior to the casualty,  (iii) the cost of repairing any damage
                  to the other Unit,  (iv) the cost of  demolishing  the damaged
                  property or performing such other work as determined necessary
                  by the  Association  to create a  harmonious  balance with any
                  remaining  improvements  in the  Condominium  which are either
                  undamaged  or  will  be  repaired  and  (v)  the  cost  of any
                  improvements needed in order to assure that use, occupancy and
                  operation  of the  other  Unit  will  not be in  violation  of
                  applicable   governmental   requirements   including   without
                  limitation  zoning  regulations and requirements of applicable
                  license(s).  As used herein,  "mandatory facilities" means any
                  of the following that service both Units:  kitchen facilities,
                  boiler


                                       15

<PAGE>



                  room(s) and mechanical room(s). As used in this Article XX and
                  Article XXI below, a Condominium Building is deemed to contain
                  only one Unit where the damage is  confined  to one portion of
                  the Building,  and such damage primarily affects only one Unit
                  with  negligible  effect on the  other  Unit  other  than with
                  respect to mandatory facilities.

         (3)      Mortgages.  In the  event a  Mortgagee  endorsement  has  been
                  issued as to a Unit,  the share of that  Unit  Owner  shall be
                  held in trust for the Mortgagee  and the Unit Owner,  as their
                  interests  may appear;  provided,  however,  that no Mortgagee
                  shall  have  any  right to  determine  or  participate  in the
                  determination  as to whether or not any damaged property shall
                  be reconstructed or repaired,  and no Mortgagee shall have any
                  right to apply or have applied to the  reduction of a mortgage
                  debt any insurance  proceeds except those proceeds paid to the
                  Unit Owner and  Mortgagee  pursuant to the  provisions of this
                  Declaration.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if (i) an Owner
                  has  assigned to its  Mortgagee  the Owner's  right to receive
                  insurance  proceeds from the  Association as such right is set
                  forth in this Declaration and (ii) the Owner and its Mortgagee
                  have so instructed  the  Association  in writing signed by the
                  Owner and its Mortgagee (the "Assignment  Instruction"),  then
                  the   Association   shall   recognize  such   assignment  and,
                  regardless of any  subsequent  conflicting  instruction of the
                  Owner, the Association shall disburse to the Owner's Mortgagee
                  any insurance  proceeds that  Association  would  otherwise be
                  required  to  disburse  to the  Owner.  Each  Mortgagee  is an
                  intended  third  party  beneficiary  of and  may  enforce  the
                  provisions of this paragraph.

         E. Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies received by
the Association shall be distributed in the following manner:

         (1)      Expenses of the Association.  All expenses of the Association,
                  including  without  limitation  the cost of  appraisals  which
                  shall be performed by a MAI appraiser,  shall be paid first or
                  provision made therefor.

         (2)      Reconstruction or repair. If the damage for which the proceeds
                  are paid is to be repaired  or  reconstructed,  the  remaining
                  proceeds  shall be disbursed  as provided  below to defray the
                  cost thereof.  Any proceeds  remaining  after  defraying  such
                  costs shall be distributed to the beneficial  owners  thereof,
                  remittances to Unit Owners and their  Mortgagees being payable
                  jointly to them,  in  accordance  with the  Appraised  Shares;
                  provided,  however,  if the  Association  is in  receipt of an
                  Assignment  Instruction  duly  signed by an Unit Owner and its
                  Mortgagee,  such  remaining  proceeds that would  otherwise be
                  paid jointly to the Unit Owner and its Mortgagee shall instead
                  be paid directly to the Mortgagee.  This is a covenant for the
                  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
                  such Mortgagee.

         (3)      Failure to reconstruct  or repair.  If it is determined in the
                  manner  elsewhere  provided  that the  damage  for  which  the
                  proceeds are paid shall not be reconstructed or repaired,  the
                  remaining  proceeds  shall be  distributed  to the  beneficial
                  owners thereof, remittance to Unit Owners and their Mortgagees
                  being  payable  jointly to them.  This is a  covenant  for the
                  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
                  such Mortgagee.

         F.  Association  as  Agent.  The  Association  is  hereby   irrevocably
appointed  agent for each Unit Owner,  for  Mortgagee  and for each owner of any
other  interest  in the  Condominium  Property,  with power to adjust all claims
arising under insurance policies purchased by the Association and to execute and
deliver releases upon the payment of claims.

         G.  The   following   conditions   and   procedures   shall   apply  to
reconstruction  work  (the  "Work")  and  disbursement  of  remaining  insurance
proceeds on account of same:

                                       16

                  (1)  Performance of Work. The  Association  shall enter into a
construction  contract (the  "Construction  Contract") with a general contractor
("Contractor"),  and a  Schedule  of Values  that  allocates  values to  various
portions  of the Work will be included in the  Construction  Contract.  The Work
shall be constructed  in a good and  workmanlike  manner.  Only new, first class
materials shall be used in the performance of the Work.

                  (2) Notice of Commencement.  The Association will not cause or
permit the Contractor to commence  construction and shall not disburse any funds
to Contractor, any subcontractors,  sub-subcontractors, materialmen and laborers
until a Notice of  Commencement  is recorded  pursuant to Chapter  713.13 of the
Florida  Statutes and a certified copy of such Notice of  Commencement  has been
posted on the construction site

                  (3)      Progress Payments.

                           (a) Based upon  Applications for Payment submitted to
the Association's architect (the "Architect") by the Contractor and Certificates
for  Payment  issued by the  Architect,  the  Association  shall  make  progress
payments  ("Association's  Progress  Payments")  from  the  remaining  insurance
proceeds, payable as hereinafter specified.

                           (b)  Prior  to   processing   a   Progress   Payment,
Association  shall require that the  Contractor  (i) make all  Applications  for
Payment on, and strictly in compliance with the  requirements  of, AIA Documents
G702-1983 and G703-1983 and (ii) attach to each Application for Payment:

                                    (1) an itemized,  sworn statement showing in
complete  detail  all  monies  paid  out or  costs  incurred  by the  Contractor
(including Change Orders) on account of the Work and Construction Contract, on a
trade-by-trade  basis,  through the last day of the calendar month for which the
Contractor is to be paid; and

                                    (2) a duly  and  properly  executed  partial
release   of  lien  from  each  and  every   subcontractor,   sub-subcontractor,
materialman,  supplier and laborer,  in the amount of at least the amount of the
last preceding progress payment made to each  subcontractor,  sub-subcontractor,
materialman, supplier and laborer; and

                                    (3) a duly  and  properly  executed  partial
release of lien from the  Contractor in the amount of no less than the amount of
the last  preceding  progress  payment  made by  Association  and  Tenant to the
Contractor; and

                                    (4) a  Schedule  of Values  (shown by dollar
amounts)  showing  the  respective  percentage  of  completion  of  the  various
divisions of the Work.

                                    (5) Evidence that construction is proceeding
on schedule and that all  construction  prior to the date of the Application for
Payment has been completed in a good and  workmanlike  manner in accordance with
the Plans and  Specifications  and as  required by all  inspecting  governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises.

                           (c) In addition to the  foregoing,  each  Application
for Payment shall include all of the information required to be furnished by the
aforesaid AIA Documents. Each statement, partial release of lien and Schedule of
Values referred to hereinabove shall be in such form and have such content as is
satisfactory to Association in its sole and absolute discretion.

                           (d)  Applications  for  Payment  shall  indicate  the
percentage of completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period
covered by the Application for Payment.

                           (e) The  amount  of each  of  Association's  Progress
Payments shall be computed as follows:

                                       17

|Contract                       |               remaining              under

|Sum                                        


                  (4) Final  Payment.  Final  payment,  constituting  the entire
unpaid  balance  of the  remaining  insurance  proceeds  as well as any  amounts
assessed by the  Association  pursuant to Article  XXI.E.  below,  including the
Retainage   ("Final   Payment"),   shall  be  made  by  Association  only  after
satisfaction of the following conditions:

                           (a)  the   Construction   Contract   has  been  fully
performed by the Contractor; and

                           (b) a final  Certificate  for Payment has been issued
by the Architect and approved by Association; and

                           (c) the  Association  has  approved  and accepted one
hundred percent (100%) of the Work; and

                           (d)  the   Contractor   has  furnished  to  both  the
Association and the Architect,  a duly and properly executed  Contractor's Final
Affidavit  complying in all respects to the provisions of Chapter 713 of Florida
Statutes  (the   "Construction   Lien  Law"),  a  duly  and  properly   executed
Contractor's Final Release of Lien, both in such form and having such content as
is  satisfactory  to Association in its sole and absolute  discretion,  duly and
properly  executed  Final  Releases  of Lien from each and every  subcontractor,
sub-subcontractor, materialman, supplier and laborer and such other documents as
Association shall be entitled to under the Mechanic's Lien Law, all in such form
and  having  such  content as is  satisfactory  to  Association  in its sole and
absolute discretion. In the event Contractor does not furnish to Association all
of the aforesaid final releases of lien, then  Association  shall be entitled to
subtract from the amount that Association determines is necessary to transfer to
bond  or to pay  in  full  any  subcontractor,  sub-subcontractor,  materialman,
laborer who has not  furnished a Final  Release of Lien (but no reduction in the
Final Payment shall be made if the Contractor  posts a cash bond or other surety
accessible to Association covering such amounts); and

                           (e)  Receipt  by  Association  of  two  (2)  sets  of

Occupancy for the Condominium Building(s) or applicable portion thereof.

XXI.     RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR AFTER CASUALTY.

         A.  Determination  to  Reconstruct  or  Repair.  If  any  part  of  the
Condominium  Property is damaged by casualty,  whether it shall be reconstructed
or repaired shall be determined in the following manner:

         (1)      Condominium Building:

                           (a)  Minor  damage.  If less  than 75% of the  square
                  footage  of a  Unit  is  damaged  or  destroyed,  the  damaged
                  property shall be  reconstructed  or repaired  unless,  within
                  sixty (60) days after the  casualty,  the Unit Owners agree in
                  writing  to forego  such  reconstruction  or  repair  and such
                  decision  is  approved  by  at  least  the   majority  of  the
                  Mortgagees  (based  upon  one vote  for  each  first  mortgage
                  owned).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if the actual cost of
                  restoring the affected  Unit in accordance  with then existing
                  applicable laws exceeds 110% of the actual insurance

                                       18

<PAGE>



                  proceeds  available under required  policies of insurance plus
                  deductible  amounts,  then the  damage  shall be deemed  Major
                  damage as addressed below.

                           (b)  Major  damage.  If more  than 75% of the  square
                  footage of a Unit is damaged  or  destroyed,  or if the actual
                  cost of restoring the affected  Unit in  accordance  with then
                  existing  applicable laws exceeds 110% of the actual insurance
                  proceeds  available under required  policies of insurance plus
                  deductible  amounts,  the damaged  property  shall  neither be
                  reconstructed  nor  repaired  unless,  within  sixty (60) days
                  after the casualty, the Owner of the affected Unit directs the
                  Association to effect such reconstruction or repair.

         B.  Plans and  Specifications.  Any  reconstruction  or repair  must be
substantially in accordance with the plans and  specifications  for the original
Condominium   Property;   or,  if  not,  then  in  accordance   with  plans  and
specifications  approved  by the Board of  Directors.  Any  reconstruction  that
materially and substantially  deviates from the configuration and quality of the
original  Condominium  Property  as it existed  prior to the  reconstruction  or
repair must be approved by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon
one vote for each first mortgage owned).

         C. Responsibility. If the damage is only to those portions of a Unit or
Units for which the responsibility of maintenance and repair is that of the Unit
Owner(s),  then the Unit Owner(s) shall be responsible  for  reconstruction  and
repair after casualty.  In all other  instances,  it shall be the  Association's
responsibility to reconstruct and repair after casualty.

         D.  Estimate of Costs.  Immediately  after a  determination  is made to
rebuild  or  repair  damage  to  property  for  which  the  Association  has the
responsibility  for  reconstruction  and repair,  the  Association  shall obtain
reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to rebuild or repair.

         E.  Assessments.  If the proceeds of insurance  are not  sufficient  to
defray the estimated costs of reconstruction  and repair by the Association,  or
if at  any  time  during  reconstruction  and  repair,  or  upon  completion  of
reconstruction  or repair,  the funds for the  payment of the costs  thereof are
insufficient,  Assessments  shall be made against all Unit Owners in  sufficient
amounts to provide funds for the payment of such costs.

XXII.    EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING.

         If  eminent  domain  or  condemnation   proceedings  are   successfully
litigated  against  all or any  part of the  Condominium  Property,  the  entire
eminent domain or  condemnation  award shall be held by the  Association for the
benefit  of itself,  the Unit  Owners and their  Mortgagees  in shares  equal to
shares of insurance proceeds payable on account of casualty.

XXIII.   LIABILITY - GENERALLY.

         A.  General  Provisions.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this
Declaration, the Articles, Bylaws or rules and regulations of the Association or
any other document governing or binding the Association ("Property  Documents"),
neither the Developer nor the Association  will be liable or responsible for, or
in any manner a guarantor  or insurer  of, the health,  safety or welfare of any
Owner,  occupant  or user of any  portion  of the  Property,  including  without
limitation,  residents,  their families,  guests, invitees,  licensees,  agents,
servants, contractors or subcontractors, nor for any property of such persons.



                                       19

<PAGE>



         B.       Specific  Provisions.  Without  limiting the generality of the
                  foregoing:

         (1)      It is the express  intent of the Property  Documents  that the
                  various   provisions  of  the  Property  Documents  which  are
                  enforceable  by the  Association  and which govern or regulate
                  the  use  of  Property   have  been  written  and  are  to  be
                  interpreted and enforced for the sole purpose of enhancing and
                  maintaining  the  enjoyment  of the  Property  and  the  value
                  thereof.

         (2)      The   Association  is  not  empowered  to  enforce  or  ensure
                  compliance  with the laws of the United  States,  the State of
                  Florida or the County or any other  jurisdiction or to prevent
                  tortious activities by Owners or third parties.

         (3)      The  provisions  of the Property  Documents  setting forth the
                  uses of Assessments which relate to health,  safety or welfare
                  will be  interpreted  and applied only as  limitations  on the
                  uses  of  such  funds  and  not  as  creating  a  duty  of the
                  Association to protect or further the safety or welfare of the
                  persons even if such funds are used for such purposes.

         C. Owner Covenant.  Each Owner, his heirs,  successors and assigns,  by
virtue of his or her acceptance of title, and each other person or entity having
an interest or lien upon, or making the use of, any portion of the Property,  by
virtue of  accepting  such  interest or lien or by making use  thereof,  will be
bound by this  Article and will be deemed to have  automatically  waived any and
all rights,  claims, demands or causes of action against the Association arising
from or connected with any matter for which the liability of the Association has
been disclaimed in this Paragraph.

XXIV.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         A. If any provision of this Declaration,  the Articles,  the By-Laws or
the Condominium Act, or any section,  sentence,  clause,  phrase or word, or the
application  thereof, in any circumstances is held invalid,  the validity of the
remainder of this  Declaration,  the Articles,  the By-Laws,  or the Condominium
Act, and the  application  of any such  invalid  provision,  section,  sentence,
clause, phrase, or word in other circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

         B.  Notices to a Unit Owner  shall be sent to the  address of its Unit,
unless the Unit Owner has,  by written  notice to the  Association,  specified a
different  address.  Notices to the Association  shall be delivered by certified
mail to 2939 South Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach,  Florida.  All notices shall
be deemed sent when mailed.  Any party may change his or its mailing  address by
written notice to the other party.

         C. All remedies for violation  provided by the Condominium Act shall be
in full force and effect.  In addition  thereto,  should the Association find it
necessary  to  institute  legal action upon a finding by a court in favor of the
Association,  the defendant Unit Owner shall  reimburse the  Association for its
costs of suit, including reasonable  attorney's fees at both trial and appellate
levels, in bankruptcy or in post-judgment collection, incurred by it in bringing
such action.

         D.  Whenever  the context so  requires,  the use of any gender shall be
deemed to include all genders, the use of the plural shall include the singular,
and the singular shall include the plural.

         E. The provisions of this Declaration  shall be liberally  construed to
effectuate  its  purpose of  creating a uniform  plan for the  operation  of the
Condominium.

                           and  all  other  payments  to be made  by  Tenant  to
                           Landlord  pursuant  to this  Lease  shall  be paid in

                           permitted  by law or (b) two  percent  (2%) above the
                           "Prime  Rate" of  interest  quoted in The Wall Street

estimated  amount of any prepaid goods or services to be supplied or rendered by
the operator of the Facility subsequent to the Commencement Date (e.g., resident
advance payments), and such prepayments to the extent allocable to the period on

Tenant on the  Commencement  Date or, at  Landlord's  option,  shall  reduce the
amount  of the  first,  and to the  extent  necessary,  all  succeeding  monthly
installments of Annual Rent payable by Tenant,  until the  Prepayments  shall be
fully applied in lieu of such payment of such  Prepayments by Landlord to Tenant
on the  Commencement  Date.  Said Schedule 3.2(b) shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (d)      Licenses,  Service  Contracts  and  Personal
Property  Leases.  All  prepayments  made or payments  due under any  continuing

prorated and adjusted in similar transactions in the locale in which the Demised
Premises  are  situated  shall  be  prorated  as of  the  Commencement  Date  in
accordance with such custom. However,  nothing contained herein shall operate to

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments

such items upon receipt of the final bill or statement.

certain Lease Agreement,  dated of even date herewith,  between The Homestead of
Garden City,  L.C., as landlord,  and  Integrated  Living  Communities at Garden
City,  Inc.,  as tenant;  all of such Leased  Equipment  being  leased to Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.  No  additional  rent,  beyond  Annual Rent
provided  for in  Article  III  hereof,  shall be paid by Tenant  for the Leased
Equipment.

                  4.3 Surrender of Possession.  At the end of the Lease Term, or
upon the  earlier  termination  of this  Lease,  Tenant,  at its  sole  cost and
expense,  shall  surrender  the  Demised  Premises  to Landlord in the same good
condition and state of repair as they were in at the Commencement Date, ordinary
wear and tear and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, damage by fire or
other casualty excepted,  and shall convey and transfer to Landlord such portion
of the Other  Assets as shall not have been used,  depleted  or  consumed in the
ordinary  course of the  operation of the Facility  and,  subject to Section 8.2
hereof,  shall  also  convey and  transfer  to  Landlord  any  replacements  and
accessories  thereto acquired by Tenant during the Lease Term, to the extent the
same continue in existence at the end of the Lease Term.

                  4.4  Holding  Over.  If Tenant  remains in  possession  of the
Demised  Premises  after the  expiration of the Lease Term,  except as otherwise
provided in the Option Agreement (as hereinafter defined), such possession shall
be as a tenant at sufferance. During such occupancy, rent shall be payable equal
to 150% times the monthly amount of Annual Rent payable during the


                                      - 7 -

last  month  of the  Lease  Term,  and the  provisions  of this  Lease  shall be
applicable and continue in full force and effect. However, Landlord's acceptance
of any rent  payments and the terms of this  Section 4.4 shall not  constitute a
renewal of this Lease or give Tenant any right to continue to occupy the Land on
a month-to-month basis or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is
unable to surrender the Demised  Premises  because  Landlord  fails to provide a
qualified and duly licensed operator (a "Proper  Successor") for the Facility at
the end of the  Lease  Term to take over the  operation  and  management  of the
Facility,  Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, remain in
possession  of the Demised  Premises and continue to operate and manage the same
if Tenant would be legally prohibited from abandoning the Demised Premises or in
Tenant's judgment, abandoning the Demised Premises without a Proper Successor in
place to continue the  operations of the Facility  would  jeopardize its (or its
affiliates') reputation as a provider of residential congregant,  nursing and/or
assisted living facility care or could otherwise  subject it (or its affiliates)
to liability.  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord
as gross rent during such occupancy 90% the Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the
last Lease Year of the Lease Term and (b)  surrender  possession  of the Demised
Premises within ten (10) days after Landlord provides a Proper Successor to take
over the operation and management of the Facility.

                        --------------------------------

                  5.1 Real Estate Taxes.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,
shall pay when due all ad valorem general real estate taxes, betterment or other
assessments and transit taxes  (collectively,  "Impositions") which are assessed
against,  levied,  imposed  upon,  become a lien or become due and payable  with
respect to or upon the Demised Premises,  and no other property, and which first
become  due and  payable,  or any  installments  thereof  which  become  due and
payable,  on and after the Commencement  Date and during the Lease Term.  Tenant
shall provide  Landlord with copies of all receipts  received in connection with
the  payment  of such  taxes and  assessments  within  twenty  (20)  days  after
Landlord's  request  prior to the date  interest or  penalties on such taxes and
assessments would be imposed.  Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense  and in good  faith,  to  contest  the  amount or  validity  of any such
Imposition payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease,  provided,  however,
that if at any time payment of any such  Imposition  shall  become  necessary to
prevent the tax sale of the Demised  Premises or any portion  thereof because of
nonpayment,  then Tenant shall pay the same in  sufficient  time to prevent such
sale. Landlord shall join, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in any proceedings
referred to above,  and hereby  agrees that the same may be brought in its name,
if the  provisions of any law, rule or  regulations at the time, in effect shall
require  that such  proceedings  be brought by and/or in the name of Landlord or
any owner of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any
Impositions,  and all penalties or interest thereon,  received by Landlord which
shall have been paid by Tenant,  or which shall have been paid by  Landlord  but
previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Provided that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be  continuing,  Landlord  shall not,  without  Tenant's prior
approval,  make or agree to any settlement,  compromise or other  disposition of
any such  proceedings or discontinue or withdraw any such  proceedings or accept
any refund or other  adjustment  of or credit for any  Imposition as a result of
any such

proceedings.  Landlord hereby appoints Tenant the  attorney-in-fact  of Landlord
for the purpose of making all  payments to be made by Tenant  pursuant to any of
the  provisions  of this  Lease to  persons or  entities  other  than  Landlord.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  in this Lease,  if, by not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the final date for  contesting the validity
or amount of any real  estate  taxes and  assessments  with  respect to the last
Lease Year of the Lease Term, Tenant shall not have advised Landlord that Tenant
intends  to  conduct  such  contest,  Landlord  will have the right (but not the
obligation) to contest the validity  and/or amount of such  Impositions  for the
last  Lease  Year of the Lease  Term  without  the  consent  of  Tenant,  but at
Landlord's sole cost and expense.

                  5.1.1    If at any time  during the Lease Term the  methods of
                           taxation   of    Impositions    prevailing   at   the
                           commencement  of the  Initial  Term  hereof  shall be
                           altered so that in lieu of, or as a supplement to, or
                           a  substitute  for,  the  whole  or any  part  of the
                           Impositions  then levied,  assessed or imposed on the
                           Demised  Premises,  any of the  following are levied,
                           assessed or imposed:

                           (a)      a  tax,  assessment,   levy,  imposition  or
charge,  wholly  or  partially  as a  capital  levy or  otherwise,  on the rents
received therefrom; or

                           (b)      a tax,  assessment,  levy (including but not
limited to any municipal,  state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part  upon the  Demised  Premises  and  imposed  upon
Landlord; or

                           (c)      a license fee  measured by the rent  payable
under this Lease;

then,  in such event,  all such taxes,  assessments,  levies,  impositions,  and
charges,  or the part  thereof  so  measured  or  based,  shall be  deemed to be
included in the  Impositions  payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.1, to
the extent that such taxes, assessments,  levies,  impositions and charges would
be payable if the Demised  Premises were the only  property of Landlord  subject
thereto,  and Tenant  shall pay and  discharge  the same as herein  provided  in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

                  5.1.2    Impositions  shall not  include  any  income,  excess
                           profit, estate,  inheritance,  succession,  transfer,
                           franchise,  capital or other tax or  assessment  upon
                           Landlord  or  (unless  in  substitution,   as  herein
                           provided) upon the rentals  payable under this Lease,
                           all  of  which  shall  be  the  sole   obligation  of
                           Landlord.  The  real  estate  taxes  on  the  Demised
                           Premises  during any year shall mean such  amounts as
                           shall  be   finally   determined,   after   deducting
                           abatements, discounts, refunds or rebates, if any, to
                           the  Impositions  payable with respect to the Demised
                           Premises during said year.

                  5.1.3    Any  Impositions  which  become  due for the  year in
                           which  possession  is given to  Tenant  but which are
                           payable  with  respect  to  a  period  prior  to  the
                           Commencement  Date shall be prorated for the calendar
                           year  between  Landlord  and  Tenant as  provided  in
                           Section 3.3 hereof and such proration

                           calendar year of termination.

                  5.1.4    If Landlord  shall have the right to elect the period
                           over  which any  Impositions  are  payable,  Landlord
                           agrees to elect  and  Tenant  may make such  payments
                           over the longest period of time available.

                  5.2 Personal  Property  Taxes.  Beginning on the  Commencement
Date,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all  personal
property taxes and assessments (if any) assessed against,  levied, imposed upon,
or which would  become a lien or become due and payable with respect to, or upon
any of Tenant's tangible or intangible personal property or the Leased Equipment
or the Other Assets,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with
copies of all receipts received in connection with the payment of such taxes and
assessments  not less than ten (10) days prior to the date interest or penalties
on such taxes and assessments would be imposed.  Any personal property taxes and
assessments which become due for the year in which possession is given to Tenant
but which are payable with respect to a period  prior to the  Commencement  Date
shall be prorated for the calendar year between  Landlord and Tenant as provided
in  Section  3.3 hereof  and such  proration  shall also occur at the end of the
Lease Term for the calendar year of termination.

                  5.3  Sewer  Use  Fees.  Beginning  on the  Commencement  Date,
Tenant,  at its sole  cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all sewer use fees,
rents,  charges and deposits  assessed against,  levied,  imposed upon, or which
would  become a lien or become  due and  payable  with  respect  to, or upon the
Demised  Premises,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall  provide  Landlord with
copies of all  receipts  received in  connection  with the payment of such fees,
rents,  charges  and  deposits  not less  than ten (10)  days  prior to the date
interest or penalties on such fees or deposits would be imposed.

                  5.4 Utilities.  Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense, shall obtain in its name and pay when due all charges
and deposits for gas, water,  electricity,  cable television,  trash, telephone,
communication  services,  and all other  utilities  used on or  supplied  to the
Demised Premises, during the Lease Term.

                             USE OF DEMISED PREMISES
                             -----------------------

                  6.1 Use by Tenant.  Tenant shall use the Demised  Premises for
the business purpose of a residential  congregant,  nursing care and/or assisted
living facility and all related and ancillary medical and therapeutic  services,
and for no other purpose without Landlord's consent,  which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  6.2 Compliance with Laws. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6.2, and in Sections 8.1.4,  8.1.5, and 8.1.6,  Tenant, in operating the
Demised Premises, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with all applicable

ordinances,  rules,  regulations  and laws  applicable to the Demised  Premises,
notices from the issuer of the Facility's  fire hazard or casualty  policy,  and
each covenant, condition or restriction of record which is a Permitted Exception
(as hereinafter defined).

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6.2,  except as otherwise  provided in this Lease,  Tenant,  at its
cost and  expense,  shall  comply with all  Environmental  Laws (as  hereinafter
defined)  that  are  applicable  to  its  operation  of  the  Demised  Premises,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  use,  handling,   treatment,   storage,
transportation  and  disposal  of any  hazardous,  toxic  or  infectious  waste,
material or substance (including Medical Waste) and petroleum products, material
or waste. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall comply with all Environmental
Laws in connection  with the  previous,  present  and/or  future use,  handling,
treatment,  storage,  transportation  and disposal of any such waste,  material,
substance  and  products  at or on the  Demised  Premises  by anyone  other than
Tenant, or its employees, agents, contractors,  invitees, residents, patients or

                  6.3  Waste.  Tenant  shall  neither  commit,  nor  permit  the
commission of waste upon or against the Demised Premises, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.

                  6.4 License and Permits.  Tenant at its sole cost and expense,
shall  acquire and  maintain  all  licenses  and  permits  needed to operate the
Demised  Premises for the then  applicable use permitted  herein.  Tenant,  as a
provider of residential care services,  shall comply with all applicable  rules,
regulations,  laws,  statutes,  orders,  ordinances and  requirements,  and will
maintain  its   certifications   for  reimbursement   and  licensure,   and  its

maintain the operations of the Facility.

                  6.5      Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall have no obligation
to make  improvements,  alterations,  replacements  or  repairs  to the  Demised
Premises, except as may be expressly provided herein.

                  6.6 Conflict with Insurance Policies.  Tenant shall not permit
any use of the Demised  Premises which would  invalidate any policy of insurance
or which would increase the premiums for any insurance  policy carried by or for
the benefit of Landlord unless Tenant pays any such increase in premiums.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                                 --------------

                  7.1 Permanent or Temporary  Taking.  If after the execution of
this Lease all or any part of the Demised Premises is acquired on a permanent or
temporary basis by any federal,  state or local governmental agency, by means of
condemnation or threat of condemnation, or by reason of mutual agreement between
Landlord, Tenant, and said governmental agency, this Article VII shall control.

                  7.2  Compensation.  All  compensation  awarded  for any taking
(including,  but not limited to, loss of  leasehold)  shall belong to and be the
property of Landlord;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be entitled to any
portion of the award made to Tenant for its loss of business, depreciation to or
for the cost of removal of stock,  fixtures,  equipment  (other  than the Leased
Equipment) or signs,  moving expenses,  relocation costs or any other allowances
to which Tenant may be legally entitled. This Lease shall not preclude the right
of Tenant to pursue an independent  action for damages against any  governmental
agency for said taking,  provided,  however that in no event shall any resulting
award to  Tenant  reduce  the  amount  of the  award to  which  Landlord  may be
entitled. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages.

                  7.3 Effect on this  Lease of  Permanent  Taking.  In the event
that the whole of the Demised Premises is taken permanently by any method,  then
this Lease shall terminate as of the date title to the Demised Premises vests in
the  governmental  agency.  Such date of vesting shall operate as though it were
the date  originally  intended by the parties for  expiration  of this Lease and
Tenant  shall  pay  Annual  Rent  and  Landlord   shall  refund  to  Tenant  any
overpayments of Annual Rent or other charges within five (5) days after the date
of such  vesting  and all  other  obligations  hereunder  accrued  (prorated  as
appropriate) to the date of such vesting.

                  In  the  event  a   substantial   and  material   portion  (as
hereinafter defined) of the Demised Premises are taken permanently,  then Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord at least ninety
(90) days' written  notice.  If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease or
if less than a  substantial  and  material  portion of the Demised  Premises are
taken,  then  this  Lease  shall  terminate  only as to the part of the  Demised
Premises  taken and Annual Rent shall be reduced for the  remainder of the Lease
Term by a just, fair and equitable  proportion of Annual Rent payable  according
to the size, nature and extent of the property that is taken. Any adjustments or
reductions  in Annual Rent,  as  contemplated  by this  Section  shall take into
account  the  practical  and  economic  effect of the taking in  question on the
operation of the Demised Premises.  In the event that a substantial and material
part of the Demised  Premises is  temporarily  taken in excess of three  hundred
sixty-five (365)  consecutive days, then such taking shall be deemed a permanent
taking for  purposes  of this  Lease.  It shall be  presumed  that the taking is
"substantial  and  material"  if  (a)  the  Kansas   Department  of  Health  and
Environment  permanently closes the Demised Premises whether in whole or in part
because  of such  taking  for  use as a  nursing  care  and/or  assisted  living
facility,  or (b) if in Tenant's reasonable business judgment the portion of the
Demised  Premises not so taken is inadequate to continue to operate the Facility
in a commercially  profitable  manner as a nursing care and/or  assisted  living
facility, as the case may be according to the then actual use by Tenant.

                  In the event that the Demised  Premises  become  landlocked by
such taking for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive  days and reasonable
alternative   access  cannot  be  provided  within  five  (5)  days  after  such
occurrence,  then Annual Rent shall abate until access or reasonable alternative
access is  provided  to the Demised  Premises;  provided  that if such access or
reasonable  alternative  access cannot be provided within thirty (30) days after
such  occurrence,  then Tenant shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease by
written  notice to Landlord,  which shall  terminate  this Lease sixty (60) days
after such notice.

                  7.4 Effect on this  Lease of  Temporary  Taking.  In the event
that all or part of the Demised  Premises are taken for a temporary use,  Annual
Rent shall be reduced and abated by a just,  fair and  equitable  proportion  of
Annual Rent  payable  according  to the size,  nature and extent of the property
that is taken.  Any adjustments or reductions in Annual Rent, as contemplated by
this Section shall take into account the  practical  and economic  effect of the
taking in  question  on the  operation  of the Demised  Premises.  Tenant  shall
continue to perform all other  conditions  of this Lease as though the taking or
condemnation  had not  occurred,  except  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall be
prevented from doing so by reason of the taking or  condemnation  and except for
the  abatement of Annual Rent as provided  herein.  Neither  party to this Lease
shall have any right to terminate this Lease by reason of a temporary  taking of
all or part of the Demised Premises, except as stated in Section 7.3 above.

                  7.5 Restoration. If any building or improvement on the Demised
Premises or any replacement  thereof shall be damaged or partially  destroyed by
any such  taking of less than all or  substantially  all  thereof and this Lease
shall not be terminated by reason  thereof,  Tenant shall be entitled to receive
such  portion  of any  award  to  which  Landlord  may be  entitled,  as will be
sufficient to pay for the costs of restoring and rebuilding such building(s) and
improvement(s)  and within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of such sum,
Tenant  shall  proceed  with  reasonable  diligence  to  conduct  any  necessary
demolition  and to  repair,  replace  or  rebuild,  any  remaining  part of said
building(s) and  improvement(s),  or of any replacement thereof not so taken, so
as to constitute  such  remaining part thereof a complete,  useable  building in
substantially  the same condition and repair as the building(s) and improvements
were in prior to any such  taking;  and Tenant  shall  hold that  portion of any
award received by Tenant  pursuant to this Section in trust to apply the same to
the cost and expense of such demolition, repairing, replacing and rebuilding. If
the cost of any work  necessary  to repair,  replace or rebuild  (including  any
necessary  demolition  work) any damage to or destruction of the building(s) and
improvement(s) or any replacement or replacements  thereof shall equal or exceed
an aggregate cost of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars,  the same shall be
conducted under the  supervision of an architect or engineer  selected by Tenant
and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees shall not be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  Whenever  pursuant to this Section Tenant is
entitled to receive the proceeds of an award in excess of $100,000 in amount for
the  purpose  of  applying  the  same  to the  cost of  demolishing,  repairing,
replacing or rebuilding,  such proceeds  shall be paid to the Insurance  Trustee
provided for in Article XV, to be disposed of by such  Insurance  Trustee in the
manner provided in Article XII.

                           expense,  of  all  necessary  repairs,  replacements,

                           to perform  Repairs shall  include,  at its sole cost

                           they were in on the  Commencement  Date,  subject  to
                           depreciation  and  ordinary  wear and tear,  and in a
                           safe  condition,  free from dirt,  water,  snow, ice,
                           refuse, trash and obstruction and shall also include,
                           but not be limited to, signs, glass, landscaping, any
                           air conditioning,  heating, electrical,  ventilating,

                           $50,000  or, in the case of all such  alterations  or
                           additions in any Lease Year, exceeds in the aggregate
                           $250,000,   without  the  prior  written  consent  of
                           Landlord,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
                           withheld  or   delayed;   provided,   however,   that
                           Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect
                           to any such  Repairs  which are  required in order to
                           comply with applicable laws, regulations or municipal

                           other  situation  where bodily harm is  threatened or
                           Tenant is exposed to  liability  if such  Repairs are
                           not made.  In addition,  Tenant may perform any other
                           non-structural   alterations  and  additions  to  the
                           Demised Premises without  Landlord's  consent so long
                           as   Tenant   gives   a  copy   of  the   plans   and
                           specifications,  if any, to Landlord  within ten (10)
                           days  prior  to  making   such   alterations   and/or
                           additions;    provided    further    that    cosmetic
                           modifications  and decorations that are substantially
                           consistent with the quality of the original materials
                           and decorations that were used in the Facility may be
                           made by Tenant without any notification to Landlord.

                  8.1.1.1 The dollar amounts set forth in this  paragraph  8.1.1
shall be  adjusted  and  increased  each  Lease  Year by an amount  equal to the
product resulting from multiplying each of said dollar amounts by a fraction the
numerator of which is the Price Index  published for the first calendar month of
the Lease  Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is being  made,  and the
denominator of which is the Base Price Index.

                  8.1.1.2   As used in this Lease the following terms shall have
the following respective meanings:



                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>


                                   (i)      "Price   Index"   shall   mean   the
"Revised  Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the CPI-U)  published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, for All
Cities area, All Items, (1982-84=100)"; and


                                    (ii)    "Base  Price  Index"  shall mean the
Price Index  published  for the calendar  month in which the  Commencement  Date
occurs or if not published for such month,  then the closest preceding month for
which a Price Index is available.

                  8.1.1.3  In the event  the  Price  Index  shall  hereafter  be
converted  to a different  standard  reference  base or otherwise  revised,  the
determination  of the adjusted  dollar amounts  hereunder shall be made with the
use of such conversion  factor,  formula or table for converting the Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or Prentice Hall, Inc. or
any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information. If
at any time during the Lease Term the Price  Index shall no longer be  published
by said  Bureau,  then any  comparable  index  issued by said  Bureau or similar
agency  of the  United  States  issuing  similar  indices  shall be used for the
purposes of making the  adjustments  under  Article  III and under this  Article
VIII, the same, however, to be appropriately adjusted in order to give effect to
the intent of the foregoing provisions of this Lease. In the event that the U.S.
Department  of  Labor,  Bureau  of Labor  Statistics,  changes  the  publication
frequency  of the Price Index so that a Price Index is not  available  to make a
cost-of-living adjustment as herein provided in Article III or this Article VIII
for the month  specified,  the  cost-of-living  adjustment to be made thereunder
shall be based on the  percentage  difference  between  the Price  Index for the
closest  preceding month for which a Price Index is available and the Base Price
Index.

                  8.1.2    Tenant shall keep the Demised  Premises free from any
                           mechanic's,   materialman's,  or  similar  liens  and
                           encumbrances  and any claims  therefor in  connection
                           with any  Repairs  and Tenant  shall  remove any such
                           lien or  encumbrance,  by bond or  otherwise,  within
                           thirty (30) days after  notice  from  Landlord of the
                           same. If Tenant fails to do so,  Landlord may pay the
                           amount  of such  claim or take such  other  action as
                           Landlord  deems  reasonably  necessary to remove such
                           claim,  lien, or encumbrance after  investigating the
                           validity  thereof.  The  amount  so  paid  and  costs
                           incurred by Landlord shall be deemed  additional rent
                           under this Lease, payable on demand, when accompanied
                           by detailed  information and invoices  regarding such
                           amount.  Nothing  in this  Lease  shall  be  deemed a
                           consent  by  Landlord  to the  filing  of any lien on
                           Landlord's  interest in the Demised  Premises and any
                           such liens shall attach  solely to Tenant's  interest
                           in the Demised  Premises and shall in all respects be
                           subordinate  to  Landlord's  interest  in the Demised
                           Premises.  Tenant  shall  not do  anything  or permit
                           anything to be done upon the Demised  Premises  which
                           will  materially  and adversely  affect the safety or
                           security of the Demised Premises, which will increase
                           the  rate of  fire or  casualty  insurance  upon  the
                           building or its contents,  without Landlord's written
                           consent,  which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably
                           withheld or delayed,  or which will cause  structural
                           damage  to  the   Demised   Premises  or  any  Leased
                           Improvements. Except for trade

                           Premises shall become the property of Landlord,  free
                           of charge, if affixed to the realty.

                  8.1.3    Tenant's  obligation  to perform  Repairs  shall also
                           include without limitation the repair and maintenance
                           of Leased  Equipment and the replacement from time to
                           time  of  obsolete,   damaged  or  unsightly   Leased
                           Equipment,  so as to keep the same in good  operating
                           condition  consistent with a nursing care or assisted
                           living  facility,  whichever is being operated at the
                           Demised   Premises   at   the   time   in   question.
                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  any Leased  Equipment which is leased or
                           the subject of a conditional sales agreement or other
                           finance   arrangement  at  the  commencement  of  the
                           Initial  Term and any  replacement(s)  of such Leased
                           Equipment  may be  encumbered  similarly  during  the
                           Lease Term.

                  8.1.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if  Tenant  is  required  to  make  any
                           expenditures  for Repairs (whether or not in order to
                           comply  with all  applicable  laws,  regulations  and
                           municipal  ordinances) to the Demised Premises during
                           the last two Lease Years of the Lease Term (excluding
                           Repairs  that are  required to be made as a result of
                           Tenant's,   or  Tenant's   agents',   employees'   or
                           contractors' negligence or wilful misconduct),  which
                           expenditures    according   to   generally   accepted
                           accounting  principles ("GAAP") should be capitalized
                           (such  expenditures  being  hereinafter  collectively
                           called  "Capital   Expenditures")  and  if  any  such
                           Capital  Expenditure  is a Major Capital  Expenditure
                           (as  hereinafter  defined),   Tenant  shall  send  to
                           Landlord a notice of such circumstance,  which notice
                           shall specify the nature of the repair,  replacement,
                           alteration or improvement for which the Major Capital
                           Expenditure is being incurred  (hereinafter  called a
                           "Capital Improvement") and the estimated cost of such
                           Capital  Improvement.  Tenant shall only be obligated
                           to pay that portion ("Tenant's Share") of the cost of
                           such  Capital   Improvement  as  shall  be  equitably
                           apportioned  to  it  taking  into  consideration  the
                           reasonable  useful life  (according  to GAAP) of such
                           Capital  Improvement and the unexpired Lease Term and
                           the cost of such  Capital  Improvement  in  excess of
                           Tenant's  Share (such  excess cost being  hereinafter
                           called   "Landlord's   Share")   shall  be  borne  by
                           Landlord.  Tenant shall only be obligated to make the
                           Capital Improvement if, within ten (10) business days
                           after  Landlord  receives  Tenant's   above-described
                           notice,    Tenant   and   Landlord   agree   on   the
                           determination  of Tenant's Share and Landlord's Share
                           of such Major Capital  Expenditure  and the manner in
                           which Landlord will pay and/or  reimburse  Landlord's
                           Share to Tenant.  If the parties  cannot  agree on an
                           equitable   sharing   of  any  such   Major   Capital
                           Expenditure   or  the   manner  of   payment   and/or
                           reimbursement, Tenant may (i) seek to have the matter
                           resolved by arbitration as elsewhere provided in this
                           Lease  prior  to  undertaking  to  perform  any  such
                           Capital  Improvement,  (ii)  perform any such Capital
                           Improvement  and during and/or after the  performance
                           thereof

                           elsewhere  provided  in this  Lease,  in  which  case
                           immediately  upon  resolution of such matter Landlord
                           shall  pay to  Tenant  and/or  reimburse  Tenant  for
                           Landlord's  Share  of  the  cost  thereof,  or  (iii)
                           terminate  this Lease upon not less than  thirty (30)
                           days prior written  notice to Landlord.  In the event
                           that  after   allocating   Landlord's   and  Tenant's
                           respective   Shares   of  the   cost  of  a   Capital
                           Improvement,   Tenant  exercises  a  renewal  option,
                           Tenant shall  reimburse  Landlord for the unamortized
                           amount   of   Landlord's   Share  of  any  such  cost
                           theretofore paid by Landlord with interest thereon at
                           the rate per annum set forth in Article III hereof.

                  As used  herein,  a  "Major  Capital  Expenditure"  means  any
Capital Expenditure which is required to be made during the last two Lease Years
of the Lease Term and which exceeds $25,000  individually,  or which, when added
to all other  Capital  Expenditures  theretofore  incurred by Tenant during such
period, exceeds $100,000.

                  8.1.5    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  Tenant shall not be obligated to make or
                           to pay for any Repairs  that are required as a result
                           of the  negligence or wilful  misconduct of Landlord,
                           or any of its or its affiliates' (which shall include
                           an affiliate  of The  Homestead  Company,  L.C. or of
                           Jack West),  employees,  agents or  contractors or as
                           provided in paragraph 8.1.6 below.

                  8.1.6    Landlord  agrees  that if at any  time or  times  any
                           governmental  authorities or insurance rating bureaus
                           having  jurisdiction  shall complain that the Demised
                           Premises,   or  any   portion   thereof,   were   not
                           constructed in compliance with any law,  ordinance or
                           regulation of any governmental authority or insurance
                           rating bureau having  jurisdiction  and shall request
                           compliance,  then  Landlord  shall,  upon  receipt of
                           notice  of  such   complaint,   cause  such  repairs,
                           alterations  or other  work to be done so as to bring
                           about the compliance requested.

                  8.2  Quality  and  Promptness  of  Repairs  and  Replacements;
Ownership of Replacements and Warranties.  All repairs and replacements  made by
Tenant shall be made when  reasonably  necessary and within a reasonably  prompt
period of time;  shall be with new or  like-new  materials  of at least equal or
better  value,  utility  and  condition  to that  which  the  same was in at the
commencement  of the  Initial  Term,  taking into  consideration  the quality of
materials and  workmanship of the same, and shall be done in compliance with all
applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and statutes of the city,
county, state and federal governments.


                  Any such  replaced  Leased  Equipment  shall be and remain the
property of Landlord; provided, however, that if any item of Leased Equipment is
replaced by Tenant  during the Lease Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense with
an upgraded item of Leased Equipment,  then Tenant shall have the right prior to
the end of the Lease Term to either remove such upgraded item and


                                     - 17 -

replace  the same  with a like  item of  Leased  Equipment  of  equal or  better
quality, design and function as existed on the Commencement Date.

                  Landlord agrees that it will give to Tenant the benefit of all
warranties and  guarantees  they may have received or be entitled to from any of
their  contractors or materialmen  with respect to the Demised Premises and that
Tenant may enforce the same either in Tenant's name or in Landlord's name.

                  8.3  Liability  of  Landlord.  Except if caused by  Landlord's
breach of this Lease or by the  negligence or willful  misconduct of Landlord or
of any of its  affiliates'  (which shall  include an affiliate of The  Homestead
Company, L.C. or of Jack West), employees,  agents or contractors,  all property
belonging  to Tenant or any occupant of the Demised  Premises  shall be there at
the risk of Tenant or such other occupant only, and Landlord shall not be liable
for theft or  misappropriation  thereof,  or loss or damage to any such property
due to vandalism,  water,  rain, snow,  frost,  fire,  storm or accident,  or by
breakage, stoppage or leakage of water, gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,
upon, about or adjacent to the Demised Premises or by any other cause.

                  8.4 Removal of Personal Property. Provided that Tenant has not
accepted an offer to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to
the  Right of First  Refusal  Agreement,  dated of even date  herewith,  between
Landlord and Tenant (the "Right of First  Refusal"),  or has not  exercised  its
option to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to a separate
Purchase Option Agreement by and among the parties hereto, executed of even date
herewith (the "Option  Agreement"),  upon the  expiration or termination of this
Lease,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall  remove  from the Demised
Premises all of Tenant's personal  property and equipment.  If any disfigurement
or damage  results  from such  removal,  repairs  shall be made by Tenant at its
expense to restore the Demised Premises to its original condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.

                  If upon  surrender  to Landlord of  possession  of the Demised
Premises,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  does not within ten (10) days
after  Landlord's  demand  remove  Tenant's  personal  property  and  equipment,
Landlord,  at  Landlord's  election,  shall  have the  right  to treat  Tenant's
property as having been  abandoned by Tenant to Landlord  without any payment or
offset.

                                      -----

         Tenant  shall have the right to place upon the  Demised  Premises  such
sign or signs as it may desire,  at Tenant's  sole cost and  expense.  All signs
shall  comply with all  applicable  federal,  state and local  statutes,  rules,
regulations and ordinances.  Tenant shall maintain such signs in a good state of
repair  and shall  repair  any  damage  to the  Demised  Premises  caused by the
erection, maintenance or removal at the termination of this Lease of such signs.
Upon the  termination  of this  Lease,  all signs of Tenant  shall be removed in
accordance with Section 8.4.

                    ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBORDINATION
                    ----------------------------------------

                  10.1 Assignment or Subletting by Tenant. Except as hereinafter
provided,  Tenant shall not assign,  transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest  herein,  or sublet the Demised  Premises or any part
thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other
than Tenant and its agents,  managers,  concessionaires,  licensees,  employees,
residents,  patients and medical staff to occupy or use the Demises  Premises or
any part thereof without  Landlord's prior written consent,  which consent shall
not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Landlord's  consent  shall not be required  for, and this Section 10.1 shall not
prohibit,  (i) an assignment to a corporate  parent,  affiliate or subsidiary of
Tenant,  or any  joint  venture,  partnership  or other  entity,  provided  such
assignee  is  either  Integrated  Living   Communities,   Inc.  ("ILCI")  or  is
"controlled"  directly or indirectly by ILCI (the term  "control" as used herein
shall be deemed to mean  ownership  of at least  50% of the  outstanding  voting
stock of a corporation,  or other majority  equity and voting  interest if not a
corporation);  (ii) an  assignment  in  connection  with the sale of ten percent
(10%) or more of ILCI's  assets and (iii) an  assignment  in  connection  with a
merger or  consolidation.  Any  unauthorized  assignment  or  sublease  shall be
voidable and shall  constitute a breach of this Lease at Landlord's  option.  No
assignment  of this Lease  shall be binding on  Landlord  until (a) a  duplicate
original of such assignment, duly executed by the assignor shall be delivered to
Landlord,  and (b) the  assignee  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  an
instrument in and by which the assignee shall assume and agree to perform,  from
and after the effective date of the assignment,  all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.  At least thirty (30)
days prior to the effectiveness of any assignment as to which Landlord's consent
is required,  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a package of relevant information
concerning the assignee.  For purposes of this Lease,  any sale or transfer of a
controlling  interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.  No
assignment,  sale, transfer, pledge,  hypothecation or encumbrance shall relieve
Tenant  of any  obligation  contained  in this  Lease.  Tenant  shall pay all of
Landlord's  reasonable  costs and expenses (not in excess of $2,500),  including
reasonable  attorney's fees,  incurred in connection with any assignment,  sale,
transfer, pledge,  hypothecation,  encumbrance or sublease, for which Landlord's
consent is required.

                  10.2  Leasehold  Mortgages.  Tenant  shall have the right from
time to time to pledge,  hypothecate,  encumber  or  mortgage  this Lease  (each
herein referred to as a "leasehold mortgage").  Landlord hereby expressly agrees
that the  holder of such  leasehold  mortgage  shall be  entitled  to all of the
rights,  privileges  and powers  afforded to the holder or holders of  leasehold
mortgages under this and other Articles of this Lease.

                  10.2.1   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if so  requested  by the  holder of any
                           leasehold  mortgage,  any  notice  from  Landlord  to
                           Tenant  shall  be  simultaneously  delivered  to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  at his or its  address,  and no
                           notice of default or  termination of this Lease given
                           by  Landlord  to  Tenant  shall  be  deemed   legally
                           effective until and unless notice of such default and
                           notice of such termination shall


                                     - 19 -

                           have  been  given  by  Landlord  to  such   leasehold
                           mortgagee.  Such leasehold mortgagee entitled to such
                           notice  shall have and be  subrogated  to any and all
                           rights  of  Tenant   with   respect  to  any  default
                           hereunder by Tenant. Without impairing the generality
                           of  the  foregoing  right  of   subrogation,   it  is
                           specifically agreed that any such leasehold mortgagee
                           shall  have the right to appoint  an  arbitrator,  in
                           case Tenant shall fail to make such appointment after
                           written  notice from  Landlord as provided in Article
                           XVI  hereof (a copy of which  notice  shall have been
                           simultaneously  given to such  leasehold  mortgagee),
                           and,  for  this  purpose,  shall  have an  additional
                           period of fifteen (15) days to make such appointment,
                           and the  arbitrator so appointed  shall  thereupon be
                           recognized  in all  respects as if he or she had been
                           appointed by Tenant.

                  10.2.2   Landlord will not accept any surrender,  cancellation
                           or enter into any  modification of this Lease without
                           the prior  written  consent  thereto of the holder of
                           any leasehold  mortgage who shall become  entitled to
                           notice as provided above.

                  10.2.3   If, by reason of any  default by  Tenant,  this Lease
                           shall be terminated at the election of Landlord prior
                           to the stated expiration thereof, Landlord will enter
                           into a new  lease  of the  Demised  Premises  and the
                           Other Assets with such leasehold  mortgagee (i.e. the
                           holder of a mortgage  on this Lease who shall  become
                           entitled to notice, as provided above) or its nominee
                           for the  remainder  of the term  effective  as of the
                           date of such termination, at the same Annual Rent and
                           upon  the  same  terms,  provisions,   covenants  and
                           agreements herein contained, subject, however, to the
                           rights,  if any, of any parties then in possession of
                           any part of the Demised  Premises,  provided (a) said
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall make written request upon
                           Landlord  for such new lease within  forty-five  (45)
                           days  after  the  date of such  termination  and such
                           written request is accompanied by payment to Landlord
                           of all sums which would then be due to Landlord under
                           this  Lease  but for  the  termination  thereof,  the
                           amount  of  which  Landlord  agrees  to  advise  such
                           leasehold  mortgagee of in writing upon request;  (b)
                           said  leasehold  mortgagee  pays to Landlord,  at the
                           time of the execution and delivery of said new lease,
                           any and all sums and reasonable  expenses,  including
                           reasonable  attorneys'  fees, to which Landlord shall
                           have  been  subjected  or  paid  by  reason  of  such
                           default,  the  amount  of  which  sums  and  expenses
                           Landlord agrees to advise such leasehold mortgagee of
                           in  writing  upon  request,  and (c)  said  leasehold
                           mortgagee  shall, on or before execution and delivery
                           of said new lease,  perform and observe all the other
                           covenants and conditions herein contained on Tenant's
                           part  to be  performed  and  observed  but  for  such
                           termination  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall have
                           failed to  perform  and  observe  the same,  Landlord
                           hereby agreeing to advise such leasehold mortgagee in
                           writing,   upon   request,   of  the   covenants  and
                           conditions  which Tenant shall have failed to perform
                           and the extent of such

                           failure.  If during  such period of  forty-five  (45)
                           days  requests  for such new  lease  shall be made by
                           more than one leasehold mortgagee,  then provided the
                           provisions   of  this  Section  are  complied   with,
                           Landlord  shall be  required  to execute  and deliver
                           such new lease to that  leasehold  mortgagee  (or the
                           nominee  thereof) lowest in order of priority of lien
                           who (i) cures all defaults under all prior  leasehold
                           mortgages,  (ii) delivers to Landlord certificates or
                           letters  from  the  holders  of all  prior  leasehold
                           mortgages which certify or state that no default then
                           exists under such prior leasehold mortgages and (iii)
                           executes and  delivers,  at the time of the execution
                           of such new lease,  new  mortgages  to the holders of
                           all prior  leasehold  mortgages  on this Lease having
                           the same terms and conditions,  and securing the same
                           amounts, as such prior leasehold mortgages.  Upon the
                           execution  and  delivery  of  such  new  lease,   any
                           subleases  which may have  theretofore  been assigned
                           and   transferred  to  Landlord  shall  thereupon  be
                           assigned  and  transferred,   without  recourse,   by
                           Landlord to the new tenant. Such new lease shall have
                           the same rights and priorities as this Lease.

                  10.2.4   If Landlord  shall elect to  terminate  this Lease by
                           reason of any  default  other  than a default  in the
                           payment of money,  the then  holder of any  leasehold
                           mortgage on this Lease who shall have become entitled
                           to notice,  as  provided in this  Article,  shall not
                           only have and be  subrogated to any and all rights of
                           Tenant with respect to curing of any default and have
                           the right to  obtain a new  lease as above  provided,
                           but shall also have the right to postpone  and extend
                           the specified date for the termination of this Lease,
                           as fixed by Landlord in a notice of termination,  for
                           a period of not more than six (6) months  (subject to
                           extension as provided below), provided such leasehold
                           mortgagee shall thereafter promptly cure all defaults
                           which may be cured by the  payment  of a sum of money
                           and undertake to cure any other then existing default
                           of  Tenant  and  shall  forthwith  initiate  steps to
                           acquire   Tenant's   interest   in  this   Lease   by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage or otherwise.  Such right
                           shall  be  exercised  by  such  leasehold-mortgagee's
                           giving  Landlord  notice of the  exercise of the same
                           prior to the  termination  date  fixed in  Landlord's
                           notice of termination.  If, before the date specified
                           for the termination of this Lease as extended by such
                           leasehold-mortgagee,  Tenant  shall  be duly  removed
                           from possession, and if an assumption of performances
                           and observance of the covenants and conditions herein
                           contained  on  Tenant's   part  to  be  performed  or
                           observed  shall  be  delivered  to  Landlord  by  the
                           leasehold mortgagee, or its nominee, then and in such
                           event the  default  under this Lease  shall be deemed
                           cured and removed; and provided,  further, that if at
                           the end of said six (6) month  period such  leasehold
                           mortgagee  shall  be  actively  engaged  in  steps to
                           acquire Tenant's  interest  herein,  the time of such
                           leasehold  mortgagee to comply with the provisions of
                           this Article  shall be extended  for such  additional
                           period or periods as shall be  necessary  to complete
                           such steps with diligence,  provided that during such
                           extension no further default shall occur

                           hereunder.  Any  payment  to be made or  action to be
                           taken by a leasehold  mortgagee under this Article as
                           a  prerequisite  in  obtaining a new lease or keeping
                           this Lease in effect shall be deemed properly to have
                           been made or taken by a leasehold  mortgagee  if such
                           payment is made or action taken by a nominee or agent
                           of such leasehold mortgagee.

                  10.3   Subordination  and  Attornment.   Landlord   covenants,
represents and agrees that this Lease,  as the same may be modified,  amended or
renewed, shall not be subject or subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages now or
hereafter placed upon, or any other liens or encumbrances  hereafter  affecting,
the fee title of the Demised Premises except as otherwise  expressly provided in
this Section  10.3,  and that  Landlord will promptly and fully pay when due all
indebtedness,  and perform when  required all  obligations,  secured by any such
mortgages  or liens,  and  shall not  commit  or  permit  any  default  to occur
thereunder.  In the event that for any reason whatsoever  Landlord shall fail or
refuse to pay,  satisfy  and  discharge  any lien or  mortgage  encumbering  the
Demised  Premises  not later  than the date the same  becomes  due and  payable,
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  itself to pay, satisfy and
discharge the same, in which event (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive an
assignment  of such  mortgage  (and  the  note  secured  thereby)  and  promptly
thereafter to institute  foreclosure  or other  proceedings  to enforce the same
(and the note secured thereby),  it being agreed that if Tenant so acquires such
mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby)  the same  shall be  deemed  to be in
default by virtue of  Landlord's  failure to comply with the  provisions of this
Section, which provisions shall be deemed for such purpose to be an agreement of
modification  of such  mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby);  and (ii) any
amounts  expended  and  expenses  incurred by Tenant in paying,  satisfying  and
discharging  such  mortgage,   and  in  bringing  proceedings  to  foreclose  or
otherwise,  to  enforce  the same,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  to the extent not paid by Landlord to Tenant,  together  with
interest thereon at the rate per annum set forth in Section 3.1.4 hereof,  shall
be deductible by Tenant,  together with interest  thereon at the rate aforesaid,
from the  installments  of Annual Rent  thereafter  falling due  hereunder.  The
rights and  remedies  provided for in  subdivisions  (i) and (ii) above shall be
cumulative  and not  mutually  exclusive.  Tenant  agrees  that upon  request of
Landlord in writing,  it will  subordinate the lien of this Lease to the lien of
any  mortgage  on the  Demised  Premises,  and to all  renewals,  modifications,
amendments,  consolidations,  replacements and extensions thereof, provided that
Tenant  shall  be  granted  a  subordination   non-disturbance  and  recognition
agreement  in   substantially   the  form  of  Exhibit  E  attached   hereto  (a
"Subordination Agreement") from the holder(s) of such mortgage. The receipt of a
Subordination  Agreement  from the  holder(s)  of any  mortgage  on the  Demised
Premises to which this Lease is subordinate  is a condition to the  commencement
of the Lease Term. Further, Tenant, as a part of any Subordination Agreement, if
requested,  shall  agree to attorn to the  holder(s)  of such  mortgage  or to a
purchaser at foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holder(s) of such mortgage and Tenant.  Landlord may not place
any mortgage on the Demised  Premises when the aggregate  annual debt service on
such mortgage and all other  mortgages on the Demised  Premises would exceed 90%
of the Annual Rent which is then in effect or will be in effect  during the term
of such mortgage,  or when the aggregate principal debt secured by said mortgage
and all other  mortgages  on the Demised  Premises  would exceed 80% of the fair
market value of the Demised Premises.

Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) days prior notice of the closing of any loan
to be secured by a mortgage on the Demised Premises.

                  10.3.1   If Tenant shall give Landlord any notice of a default
                           or  breach  by  Landlord,  Tenant  agrees  to  give a
                           similar  written notice to the holder(s) of record of
                           any fee  mortgage(s)  (provided  Tenant has  received
                           written  notice of said  mortgage(s),  including  the
                           name(s) and address(es) of the then holder(s) of such
                           mortgage(s),  in the manner  provided  for in Article
                           XVIII hereof for the giving of notices to Tenant), by
                           registered  or  certified   mail,  to  such  holders'
                           respective  addresses specified in the aforementioned
                           notice to Tenant,  or to any different  address which
                           they may designate for the purpose by notice given to
                           Tenant in the aforesaid  manner;  and such  holder(s)
                           shall be  permitted  to correct or remedy such breach
                           or default within the same time within which Landlord
                           may do so, and with like  effect as if  Landlord  had
                           done so.  Tenant's  failure to give to such holder(s)
                           the  notice  provided  in this  Section  shall not be
                           deemed a default by Tenant  under this Lease,  but no
                           notice  given by Tenant to Landlord of any default or
                           breach by Landlord shall be deemed legally  effective
                           until  Tenant  shall have  given  such  notice to the
                           holder(s)  of the first fee  mortgage  at the time on
                           the Demised  Premises  (provided  Tenant has received
                           notice of said  holder(s) as provided  above).  In no
                           event shall  Tenant be required to give more than one
                           notice, to be sent to one address,  in respect of any
                           one mortgage pursuant to this Section.

                  10.3.2   In the  event  that  any  fee  mortgagee  comes  into
                           possession  or  ownership of the title to the Demised
                           Premises,  or  acquires  the  interest of Landlord by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage) or by proceedings on the
                           bond or debt secured  thereby,  or otherwise,  Tenant
                           agrees  to attorn  to such fee  mortgagee  as its new
                           landlord.

                  10.4 Sale by  Landlord.  Landlord  covenants  that it will not
sell or convey any right, title or interest in the Demised Premises prior to the
first  anniversary  of the  Commencement  Date,  without  Tenant's prior written
consent.  In any event,  any sale or conveyance  of the Demised  Premises or any
part  thereof,  shall be subject to the Option  Agreement and the Right of First
Refusal and shall be made subject to this Lease.

                  10.4.1   In the  event of a sale or  transfer  of the  Demised
                           Premises by Landlord, with respect to either of which
                           either  Tenant's  consent has been obtained or is not
                           required,  the grantor or transferor shall thereafter
                           be entirely relieved of all obligations thereafter to
                           be performed by Landlord  under this Lease,  provided
                           that the  purchaser or transferee on any such sale or
                           transfer has assumed and agreed pursuant to a written
                           instrument satisfactory to Tenant to perform, observe
                           and be bound by any and all covenants, conditions and
                           obligations  of  Landlord  hereunder  and  under  the
                           Option  Agreement  and the  Right  of  First  Refusal
                           arising from and after such sale

                           or transfer and to be subject to all of the rights of
                           Tenant under this Lease and the Option  Agreement and
                           the Right of First Refusal  whether  arising prior to
                           or after  such sale or  transfer,  including  without
                           limitation  all setoff rights,  and provided  further
                           that (i) any amount then due and payable to Tenant or
                           for which  Landlord or the then grantor or transferor
                           would  otherwise  then be liable  to Tenant  shall be
                           paid to Tenant;  (ii) the  interest of the grantor or
                           transferor in any funds then in the hands of Landlord
                           or the then grantor or transferor in which Tenant has
                           an interest shall be turned over, subject to Tenant's
                           interest,  to the then  grantee  or  transferee;  and
                           (iii)  notice  of such  sale or  transfer  signed  by
                           Landlord or the then grantor or transferor and by the
                           then  grantee or  transferee  shall be  delivered  to
                           Tenant  together  with a true  copy  of the  transfer
                           document  and a true copy of the  written  assumption
                           agreement.

                  10.5 Estoppel  Certificates.  Tenant, upon request by Landlord
or any  prospective  or actual  mortgagee or purchaser  of the  Facility,  shall
execute  and  deliver to  Landlord  within ten (10)  business  days,  after such
request,  an estoppel  certificate  addressed to  Landlord,  and if requested by
Landlord  also to such  mortgagee or purchaser as is  identified  in  Landlord's
request,  which  estoppel  certificate  shall  state,  to the extent  true,  the
following facts: (a) that a Lease, as attached to the estoppel certificate, is a
true and  correct  copy of this Lease and that this Lease has not been  modified
except as set forth in such  attachment or terminated;  (b) that the Annual Rent
in this  Lease as so  modified  has not been  modified;  (c) that  there  are no
outside agreements that would affect such mortgagee or purchaser or any of their
rights under this Lease or to the Demised  Premises except as otherwise noted in
the estoppel  certificate;  (d) that to Tenant's knowledge there are no disputes
existing as to this Lease; (e) that to Tenant's  knowledge Landlord has complied
with the  terms  of this  Lease  (as so  amended)  to the  date of the  estoppel
certificate and is not in default under any of its obligations contained in this
Lease  (as so  amended)  (or if such  is not the  case,  specifying  the  nature
thereof) and Landlord has not given Tenant  notice of any default  which remains
uncured (or if such is not the case, specifying the nature thereof); (f) that no
Annual Rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; (g) that Tenant
has accepted  possession  of the Demised  Premises;  (h) the dates through which
Annual Rent has been paid;  and (i) any other  terms  reasonably  acceptable  to
Tenant  or  reasonably  required  by any  actual  or  prospective  mortgagee  or
purchaser.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Tenant  shall not be  obligated to
furnish any such estoppel certificate more often than two times during any Lease
Year unless the request for the same is being made in  contemplation of the sale
or mortgaging of the Demised Premises and the prospective purchaser or mortgagee
is requiring the same.

                  11.1     Default by Tenant.  The occurrence of any one or more
of the following  events shall  constitute a "default" or "Event of Default" for
the purposes of this Lease:



                                     - 24 -

<PAGE>



                           (a)      The  failure of Tenant to pay any part of an
Annual  Rent  payment  due under  this  Lease on or before  its due date,  which
failure  continues  for ten (10) days after the  receipt of written  notice from
Landlord.

                           (b)      Any assignment, transfer or sublease of this
Lease or the Demised Premises in violation of Article X hereof.

                           (c)      The failure to occupy the  Demised  Premises
on the Commencement Date or the abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant.

                           (d)      The   failure  of  Tenant  to  perform   any
material  covenant  or  obligation  contained  herein  other than the payment of
Annual Rent,  which failure has not been  corrected by Tenant within thirty (30)
days  following  written  notice  from  Landlord   specifying  the  covenant  or
obligation  to be remedied,  or if the  correction of same  reasonably  requires
longer than thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall not have  commenced to correct the
same within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter  proceed to cure the same
in good faith, with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                           (e)      If any  representation  or warranty  made by
Tenant under this Lease shall prove to have been false in any  material  respect
when made and the same has not been  corrected by Tenant within thirty (30) days
following written notice from Landlord specifying the representation or warranty
in question, or if the correction of same reasonably requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter be proceeding with reasonable diligence to
correct the same.

                  11.2 Landlord's Rights and Remedies. Upon the happening of any
Event of Default and during the continuance  thereof,  Landlord,  at its option,
and  without  further  demand or  notice,  shall have the  following  rights and
remedies  in  addition  to any rights  provided  by law,  all of which  shall be
cumulative:

                           (a)      Perform any covenant or obligation of Tenant
and  charge  the  reasonable  cost  of the  cure  to  the  next  installment  or
installments of Annual Rent due.

                           (b)      Retake  possession  of the Demised  Premises
without  terminating  this  Lease  and relet the  Demised  Premises  or any part
thereof to a third party. If Landlord relets the Demised  Premises (either for a
term  greater  than,  less than or equal to the  unexpired  portion of the Lease
Term) for an  aggregate  rent during the portion of such new lease which is less
than Annual Rent and other  charges  which Tenant would pay  hereunder  for such
period,  Landlord may immediately upon the making of such new lease, sue for and
recover the  difference  between the aggregate  rental  provided for in said new
lease for the  balance  of the term  coextensive  with the Lease  Term,  and the
Annual Rent which Tenant would pay hereunder for such period,  together with any
reasonable  expenses to which  Landlord  may be put for  brokerage  commissions,
placing the Demised Premises in tenantable condition,  and other related charges
or expenses  accrued prior to the new lease or otherwise.  In the event Landlord
does not collect the entire amount of the aggregate  rental provided for in such
new lease, Landlord may sue for and recover the difference


                                     - 25 -

<PAGE>



between the amount of such aggregate  rental  actually  collected and the Annual
Rent which Tenant would pay hereunder.  If such new lease or tenancy is made for
a shorter term than the balance of the Lease Term, or for a greater rental,  any
such action brought by Landlord to collect the deficit for that period shall not
bar Landlord from  thereafter  suing for any loss accruing during the balance of
the unexpired  Lease Term whether or not due to expiration or termination of the
new lease.

                           (c)      Give  a  thirty   (30)   day's   notice   of
termination of this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord prior to the giving of
such notice shall have accepted rent or any other payment,  however  designated,
for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises from or on behalf of Tenant or
from any other person) to Tenant  specifying such Event or Events of Default and
stating  that this Lease and the Lease Term shall  expire and  terminate  on the
date specified in such notice,  which date shall be at least ten (10) days after
the giving of such notice. In the event such notice is given, this Lease and the
Lease Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and  terminate
upon the date  specified  in such  notice  with the same  effect  as if the date
specified  in such notice were the date  originally  set forth in this Lease for
the expiration of the term, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided below.

                           Upon  any  such  expiration  or  termination  of this
Lease,  Tenant  shall quit and  peacefully  surrender  the  Demised  Premises to
Landlord,  and  Landlord,  upon or at any  time  after  any such  expiration  or
termination,  may,  without further notice,  enter upon and re-enter the Demised
Premises  and possess and  repossess  itself  thereof,  by summary  proceedings,
ejectment or  otherwise,  and may  dispossess  Tenant and remove  Tenant and all
other  persons and property  from the Demised  Premises  and may have,  hold and
enjoy the Demised  Premises  and the right to receive  all rental  income of and
from the same.

                           No such  expiration  or  termination  of this  Lease,
including the re-entry of Landlord,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability and
obligations to pay the Annual Rent theretofore  accrued or thereafter  accruing,
as more  particularly  set forth in paragraph (g) below,  and such liability and
obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

                           (d)      Tenant knowingly and voluntarily  waives any
and all rights of  redemption  which  Tenant may now have or  hereafter  acquire
pursuant  to statute or court  decision,  except for notice as  provided in this
Article.

                           (e)      The rights and remedies given to Landlord in
this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or
not  exercised  by  Landlord,  shall be deemed to be in  exclusion of any of the
others  herein or by law or in equity  provided  and the exercise by Landlord of
any one or more of the rights or remedies  provided  for in this Lease shall not
preclude  the  simultaneous  or later  exercise  by Landlord of any or all other
rights or remedies.

                           (f)      No  receipt  of  monies  by  Landlord   from
Tenant,  after the  cancellation  or  termination  of this  Lease in any  lawful
manner, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term, or affect any notice
theretofore  given to Tenant or operate as a waiver of the right of  Landlord to
enforce  the  payment of Annual  Rent then due or  thereafter  falling  due,  or
operate as


                                     - 26 -

<PAGE>



a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover  possession of the Demised Premises
by proper suit, action,  proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that, after
the  service  of  notice  to cancel or  terminate  as  herein  provided  and the
expiration of the time therein  specified,  after the  commencement of any suit,
action,  proceeding  or other  remedy  or after a final  order or  judgment  for
possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any
monies due, or  thereafter  falling due,  without in any manner  affecting  such
notice, suit, action, proceeding, order or judgment; and any and all such monies
so collected shall be deemed to be payments on account of the use and occupation
of the Demised Premises,  or at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant's
liability hereunder.

                           (g)      In the  event  of the  termination  of  this
Lease as  provided  in this  Article or by  operation  of law or  issuance  of a
dispossessory warrant or otherwise,  Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease
for the payment of Annual Rent and the observance  and  performance of all other
covenants  on its part to be  performed;  and  Landlord  shall have the right to
alter,  change or remodel the  improvements on the Demised Premises and to lease
or let the same, or portions thereof,  or not to lease or let the same, for such
periods of time and at such rentals and for such use and upon such covenants and
conditions  as Landlord  may elect,  applying  the net rentals or avails of such
letting,  if any, first to the payment of Landlord's  expenses in  dispossessing
Tenant and the costs or  expenses  of making  such  improvements  in the Demised
Premises as may be necessary in order to enable  Landlord to relet the same, and
then to the payment of any brokerage  commissions  or other expenses of Landlord
in connection with such reletting;  and the balance, if any, shall be applied by
Landlord  at least once a month,  on account of the  payments  due or payable by
Tenant  hereunder,  if any,  with the right  reserved  to Landlord to bring such
action(s) or  proceeding(s)  for the recovery of any deficits  remaining  unpaid
without  being  obliged  to  await  the  end  of  the  Lease  Term  for a  final
determination  of Tenant's  account,  and the commencement or maintenance of any
one or more actions  shall not bar Landlord  from  bringing  other or subsequent
actions for further  accruals  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section.  Any
balance  remaining,  however,  after full payment and  liquidation of Landlord's
accounts  for the  remainder  of the Lease Term as  aforesaid,  shall be paid to
Tenant  with  the  right  reserved  to  Landlord  at any  time,  if it  has  not
theretofore  terminated  this  Lease,  to give  notice to  Tenant of  Landlord's
election to cancel this Lease and  discharge all the  obligations  thereunder of
either  party to the other,  and the giving of such notice and the  simultaneous
payment by Landlord to Tenant of any credit  balance in Tenant's  favor that may
at such time be owing,  shall  constitute a final and effective  cancellation of
this  Lease and a  discharge  of the  obligations  thereof on the part of either
party to the other. Tenant agrees to pay, in addition to the rent and other sums
required to be paid  hereunder,  such  additional  sums as the court may adjudge
reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful  suit or action  instituted by
Landlord  to enforce  the  provisions  of this Lease or the  collections  of the
amounts  due  Landlord  hereunder.  Should any rent  collected  by  Landlord  be
insufficient  to fully pay to Landlord a sum equal to all Annual  Rent  reserved
herein and other charges  payable  hereunder for the remainder of the Lease Term
originally  demised,  the balance or  deficiency  shall be paid by Tenant on the
rent days herein  specified,  that is, upon each of such rent days Tenant  shall
pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency then existing;  and Tenant shall be
and remain liable for any such deficiency,  and the right of Landlord to recover
from  Tenant  the amount  thereof,  or a sum equal to all such  Annual  Rent and
Additional  Rent and  other  charges  payable  hereunder,  if there  shall be no
reletting, shall survive the issuance of any


                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>



dispossessory  warrant or other cancellation or termination hereof, and Landlord
shall be entitled to retain any surplus;  and Tenant hereby expressly waives any
defense that might be predicated upon the issuance of such dispossessory warrant
or other cancellation or termination hereof.

                           (h)      In  any of the  circumstances  mentioned  in
paragraph  (g) of this  Section in which  Landlord  shall have the right to hold
Tenant  liable upon the several rent days as therein  provided,  Landlord  shall
have the right to  election,  in place and instead of holding  Tenant so liable,
forthwith to recover  against  Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as a penalty,  in addition to any other  damages  becoming due, an aggregate sum
which,  at the  time of the  termination  of this  Lease or of the  recovery  of
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord,  as the case may be,  represents
the then present worth of the excess (computed by discounting such excess at the
simple rate of six (6%) percent per annum),  if any, of the  aggregate of Annual
Rent and all other charges  payable by Tenant  hereunder that would have accrued
for the balance of the Lease Term over the aggregate rental value of the Demised
Premises  (such rental value to be computed on the basis of a tenant  paying not
only a rent to Landlord for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises,  but
also such additional rent and other charges as are required to be paid by Tenant
under the terms of this Lease) for the balance of such Lease Term.

                           (i)      Suit  or  suits  for  the  recovery  of  the
deficiency  or  damages  referred  to  above in  paragraphs  (g) and (h) of this
Section, or for any installment or installments of Annual Rent hereunder, or for
a sum equal to any such  installment or installments may be brought by Landlord,
from time to time at Landlord's  election,  and nothing in this Lease  contained
shall be deemed to require  Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the
Lease Term would have  expired by  limitation  had there been no such default by
Tenant or no such cancellation or termination.

                           (j)      Landlord's  failure  to insist on the strict
performance  of and  compliance  with each condition in this Lease shall neither
constitute  nor be construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's
rights  under  this  Article  or by law,  nor  constitute  nor be  construed  as
consisting of a waiver by Landlord of a second or  subsequent  default by Tenant
of the same  condition.  In the event  litigation is commenced,  it shall not be
necessary for Landlord to notify Tenant of any additional occurrences of default
prior to proceeding as permitted.

                           (k)      In  the   event   of  the   termination   or
expiration of this Lease,  Tenant shall  cooperate with Landlord in the transfer
to the subsequent  operator of the Facility of all licenses and permits required
to continue to operate the Facility as an assisted  living facility or a nursing
care  facility,  whichever  was being  operated at the Facility by Tenant at the
time of such termination or expiration.

                  11.3  Default  by  Landlord.   If  Landlord  defaults  in  the
observance or performance of any covenant, condition or obligation in this Lease
on its part to be observed or  performed,  Landlord  shall have thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice from Tenant stating the default complained of and
referring to the Article and Section in this Lease relied on by Tenant,  to cure
or cause to be cured any such  default,  or if such  default  is not  capable of
being


                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>



cured  within  such  thirty  (30) days to  commence to cure the same during such
thirty (30) days and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good  faith,  with
diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and  in  good  faith  pursue  the  cure  as  provided  for  herein,  or  if  any
representation  or warranty made by or on behalf of Landlord in this Lease or in
any  document  or  agreement  delivered  in  connection  with  the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Lease  shall  prove to have been  false or  incorrect  or
breached in any material  respect on the date as of which made,  then Tenant may
sue Landlord for its damages,  including,  without  limitation,  such additional
sums as the court may adjudge  reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful
suit or action instituted by Tenant to enforce the provisions of this Lease, and
may further obtain injunctive  relief if necessary to maintain  operation of the
Demised   Premises  or  comply  with  applicable   legal   requirements  of  any
governmental authority.  In addition,  Tenant may at its option, without waiving
any claim for damages for breach of agreement,  at any time thereafter cure such
default for the  account of  Landlord,  and any amount  paid or any  contractual
liability  incurred by Tenant in so doing  shall be deemed paid or incurred  for
the account of Landlord,  and Landlord  agrees to reimburse  Tenant  therefor or
save Tenant harmless  therefrom;  provided that Tenant may cure any such default
as  aforesaid  prior  to the  expiration  of said  thirty  (30)  day  period  if
reasonably  necessary to cure a default under any mortgage or encumbrance  which
is a lien on the  Demised  Premises,  or to  protect  the  Demised  Premises  or
Tenant's  interest  therein,  or to  prevent  injury  or damage  to  persons  or
property,  or to enable Tenant to conduct its business in the Demised  Premises.
If Landlord  shall fail to reimburse  Tenant upon demand for any amount paid for
the  account  of  Landlord  hereunder  or for any  other sum  payable  to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease,  said amount plus interest thereon at the rate per annum
set forth in Section  3.1.4  hereof  from the date of demand upon  Landlord  for
payment,  may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding  payments of
Annual Rent due hereunder.

                  11.4 Delays.  Whenever this Lease requires any act (other than
the  payment  of a  liquidated  sum of  money,  e.g.,  rental  payments,  taxes,
utilities,  or  any  obligation  that  may be  satisfied  by  the  payment  of a
liquidated  sum of money) by Landlord or Tenant within a certain  period of time
or by a certain time, the time for the performance of such act shall be extended
by the period of any delay caused by war,  strikes,  lockouts,  civil commotion,
storms,  weather,   electrical  blackouts,   unpreventable  material  shortages,
casualties,  acts of God or other  conditions  or events  beyond the  reasonable
control of the obligated party;  provided,  however, that written notice of such
delay and the cause and circumstances  thereof shall be given to the other party
promptly after the  commencement  of such delay and such delay becoming known by
the obligated party.


                                   ARTICLE XII
                           DAMAGE TO DEMISED PREMISES
                           --------------------------

                  12.1     Major Damage.  In the event that the Demised Premises
are damaged by fire or other casualty,  and the damage or loss exceeds  $50,000,
then Tenant shall promptly notify


                                     - 29 -

<PAGE>



Landlord  in writing of such an event.  If the damage is to an extent that there
is Major Damage,  as  hereinafter  defined,  it shall be the option of Tenant to
cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord  within sixty (60) days from the
date of such Major Damage.

                  The term "Major Damage" shall mean any damage wherein: (a) the
estimated cost of fully  repairing the damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the
then full replacement  value or (b) 25% or more of the improvements are rendered
unsuitable  for  occupancy  or (c) the damage is caused by an event which is not
covered by the  insurance  policy which Tenant is required to carry  pursuant to
Article XV hereof,  and the estimated cost of fully repairing the damage exceeds
the net amount of insurance  proceeds received by Tenant with respect thereto by
$50,000 or more.  Annual Rent shall abate in  accordance  with  Section  12.2 if
Tenant is unable to use all or any part of the Demised  Premises  while  repairs
are being made;  provided,  however,  that any  abatement  so granted  shall not
exceed the amount of the proceeds actually received by Landlord under any policy
of rent insurance carried for the benefit of Landlord.

                  If Tenant  elects to  terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to this
Section  12.1,  this Lease shall  terminate  fifteen (15) days after the date of
notice,  Tenant shall surrender  possession to Landlord,  and all accrued rights
under this Lease shall survive termination.

                  12.2  Nonmajor  Damage.  Any other damage to the Facility from
any casualty or risk which does not qualify as Major Damage,  shall be deemed to
be nonmajor.  If Tenant does not elect to  terminate  this Lease under the Major
Damage  provision in Section  12.1,  or if the damage is  nonmajor,  then Tenant
shall,  at its sole  cost  and  expense,  repair  or  rebuild  the  Facility  to
substantially the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage, in
accordance with applicable federal,  state and local statutes,  laws, ordinances
and codes and sufficient to meet licensure  requirements  of the State of Kansas
for assisted living  facilities or nursing care  facilities,  as the case may be
according to the actual use by Tenant. The restoration shall be commenced within
ninety  (90) days  after  settlement  shall  have  been made with the  insurance
companies and the insurance  monies shall have been turned over to the Insurance
Trustee (as hereinafter  defined) or Tenant,  as the case may be, as provided in
Article  XV hereof  and the  necessary  governmental  approvals  shall have been
obtained,  and such work shall be completed as promptly as reasonably  possible.
Tenant shall also restore any damaged Leased Equipment.

                  The Insurance Trustee shall, provided this Lease shall then be
in full force and effect, apply the net proceeds of any insurance to the payment
of the cost of such repairing or rebuilding as the same progresses,  payments to
be made against properly certified  vouchers of a competent  architect in charge
of the work who is selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord,  which  approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The  Insurance  Trustee  shall
advance out of such insurance proceeds toward each payment,  to be made by or on
behalf of Tenant, an amount which shall bear the same proportion to such payment
as the whole amount  received by the  Insurance  Trustee shall bear to the total
estimated  cost  of the  repairing  or  rebuilding  except,  however,  that  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall  withhold  from  each  amount  so to be paid by it ten
percent (10%) thereof until the work of repairing or rebuilding  shall have been
substantially  completed,  and proof furnished that no lien has attached or will
attach to the Demised Premises in connection with such repairs or rebuilding. If
the total estimated cost of the repairs


                                     - 30 -

<PAGE>



or  rebuilding  shall  exceed the amount of the net  proceeds of such  insurance
received by the Insurance  Trustee,  the Insurance  Trustee shall be entitled to
require of Tenant that,  before such  repairing or rebuilding be commenced,  the
Insurance Trustee be secured by a surety bond or cash equal to the amount of the
excess of such  estimated  cost over the net insurance  proceeds as security for
the due completion, within a reasonable time, of such repairs or rebuilding; and
if Tenant makes a cash deposit as  aforesaid,  such cash deposit shall be deemed
to be part of the net insurance proceeds for the purpose of this paragraph.  The
contract price fixed in Tenant's  contract with the contractor who or which will
perform such repairing or rebuilding  shall be deemed to be the total  estimated
cost of such repairs or rebuilding  for the purposes of this  paragraph.  If the
insurance  proceeds  shall  exceed the cost of such repairs or  rebuilding,  the
balance  remaining after payment of the cost of such repairs or rebuilding shall
be paid over and belong to Tenant.

                  In the  event  Tenant  is unable to use all or any part of the
Facility while Tenant  repairs or rebuilds  same,  then the Annual Rent shall be
reduced and abated by a just,  fair and equitable  proportion of the Annual Rent
payable  according  to the  size,  nature  and  extent of the  property  that is
damaged,  taking into account the practical and economic effect of the damage in
question on the operation of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that there
shall be no such abatement in the event Tenant has not  maintained  insurance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 15.3. The abatement of the Annual Rent
shall  commence  with the date of the damage and continue  until the repairs are
substantially completed.  Other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
abate in any manner.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                    LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                    -----------------------------------------

         Landlord and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants to Tenant as
follows:

                  13.1  Organization  and  Standing of  Landlord.  Landlord is a
limited liability company duly organized,  validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,
operating  agreement  and all  amendments  thereto  to date  (collectively,  the
"Organizational  Documents")  have  been  delivered  to  Tenant,  and are  true,
complete and correct.  Landlord has the power and  authority to own the property
and assets now owned by it and to conduct the business presently being conducted
by it and as currently proposed to be conducted.

                  13.2   Authority.   Landlord   has  the  full,   absolute  and
unrestricted  right, power and authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform
this  Lease,  including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,  and  the  other
instruments  and  documents   required  or   contemplated   hereby  and  thereby
("Landlord's Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and
consummation  have been duly  authorized by all necessary  action  (partnership,
corporate, limited liability company, trust or otherwise, as the case may be) on
the part of Landlord,  its managing member (as hereinafter defined) and members,
and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Landlord have been obtained.

<PAGE>



                  13.3 Binding Effect.  This Lease constitutes the legal,  valid
and binding obligation of Landlord,  enforceable  against Landlord in accordance
with its terms and each of Landlord's Transaction Documents executed by Landlord
constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligation  of Landlord,  enforceable
against Landlord in accordance with their respective terms.

                  13.4 Absence of Conflicting Agreements.  None of the execution
or  delivery  of  this  Lease  or any of  Landlord  Transaction  Documents,  the
performance  by Landlord  of its  obligations  hereunder  or  thereunder  or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, conflicts with,
or  constitutes  a breach of or a default  under (i)  Landlord's  Organizational
Documents; or (ii) any applicable law, rule, judgment,  order, writ, injunction,
or decree of any court  currently  in effect;  or (iii) any  applicable  rule or
regulation  of  any  administrative  agency  or  other  governmental   authority
currently in effect;  or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule  13.4, any written
or oral  agreement,  indenture,  contract or instrument to which Landlord or any
managing  member  thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the  Demised
Premises or Other Assets are bound.  Said  Schedule 13.4 shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.5  Consents.  Except  as set  forth on  Schedule  13.5,  no
authorization,  consent, approval,  license, exemption by filing or registration
with any court or governmental department,  commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality,  domestic  or  foreign,  or any  other  Person  is or  will  be
necessary in connection with Landlord's  execution,  delivery and performance of
this Lease or any of Landlord Transaction Documents,  or for the consummation of
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or thereby.  Said Schedule 13.5 shall be
updated to the extent  necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement
Date.

                  13.6     Contracts.

                           (a)      Schedule  13.6  sets  forth a  complete  and
correct list of all agreements,  contracts and  commitments,  whether written or
oral,  relating to the  Facility,  its  operation  or the Other  Assets by which
Landlord or the Demised Premises is bound (the "Contracts").  Landlord is not in
default under any Contract, except any such default that, either individually or
in the  aggregate,  would not have a Material  Adverse  Effect  (as  hereinafter
defined),  and there has not been asserted,  either by or against Landlord under
any Contract,  any notice of default,  set-off or claim of default which has not
been cured.  To the best knowledge of Landlord,  after due inquiry,  none of the
other parties to the Contracts are affiliated with Landlord or are in default of
any of their  respective  obligations  under  the  Contracts,  and there has not
occurred  any event  which with the  passage of time or the giving of notice (or
both)  would  constitute  a default or breach  under any  Contract.  All amounts
payable by Landlord under the Contracts are, or will at the  Commencement  Date,
be on a current  basis.  Except as set forth on Schedule 13.6, the Contracts are
assignable to Tenant  without the consent of the remaining  parties  thereto and
each of the Contracts can be terminated  without  penalty by Landlord upon sixty
(60) or less days  notice.  Said  Schedule  13.6  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                                    (iv)    contract,  agreement or  arrangement
currently  in  effect  which  contains  any  provisions  requiring  Landlord  to

                                    (v)     agreement  restricting Landlord from

the Demised  Premises,  or any damage or destruction of the Demised  Premises by
fire or other  casualty,  whether or not covered by insurance,  and Landlord has
operated the Demised Premises only in the ordinary course of business.  Landlord
has identified and communicated to Tenant all material  information with respect
to any fact or  condition  that  might  have a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  Said
Schedule  13.8 shall be updated  to the  extent  necessary  on and as of the day

                  13.9 Licenses; Permits. Schedule 13.9 sets forth a description
of each  license  and all other  governmental  or other  regulatory  permits and
approvals relating to the operation of the Demised Premises  heretofore obtained
and which is presently in effect  (collectively,  the "Licenses").  The Licenses
constitute   all  of  the  licenses,   permits,   easements,   rights  or  other
authorizations  of any Governmental  Body or any other Person that are necessary
for the current  operation of the Demised  Premises.  Each License is final (the
effectiveness  of each not being subject to the  satisfaction  of any conditions
precedent),  not subject to lapse,  termination,  revocation or  expiration  for
failure to meet any conditions or requirements or otherwise,  including  without
limitation  the  delivery  of an  unqualified  certificate  of need  or  similar
certificate  or document.  Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies of all of the
Licenses.  Landlord owns,  possesses or has the legal right to use the Licenses,
free and clear of all liens, pledges, claims or other encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 13.9, Landlord has not received any
notice of any claim or default or any other claim or proceeding  relating to any
such  License  which  has  not  been  cured  or any  notice  of  any  threatened
termination,  lapse or  revocation  of any  License.  Landlord is not in default
under any License except any such default that,  either  individually  or in the
aggregate,  would not have a Material  Adverse Effect.  The Demised Premises are
fully and completely  licensed by all  appropriate  authorities  for Landlord to
carry on the business presently  conducted at the Demised Premises.  No managing
member,  member,  employee or former employee of Landlord,  or immediate  family
member of any managing member or member, of Landlord,  or any other person, firm
or corporation owns or has any proprietary,  financial or other interest, direct
or indirect, in whole or in part in any such License owned, possessed or used in
the operation of the Demised Premises as now operated.  Said Schedule 13.9 shall
be  updated  to  the  extent  necessary  on  and as of  the  day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                  13.10    Title, Condition of Personal Property.

                           (a)      Except for the security interests listed and
described  on Schedule  13.10(a),  Landlord  has good title to all of the Leased
Equipment,  subject to no mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, conditional
sales agreement, lease, claim, encumbrance, easement, title exception or charge,
or restraint on transfer whatsoever (collectively,  "Lien"). No other person has
any right to the use or possession of any of the Leased Equipment and, except as
set forth on Schedule 13.10(a),  no currently effective financing statement with
respect to the Leased Equipment has been filed in any jurisdiction, and Landlord
has  not  signed  any  such  financing   statement  or  any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During  the  five (5) year  period  preceding  the  date  hereof,  Landlord  has
conducted its business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or trade name
"The  Hartmoor  Homestead."  All of the Leased  Equipment  is in good  operating
condition  and repair and is  functioning  in the manner and for the purpose for
which it was intended and, to the best knowledge of Landlord, after due inquiry,
is in  compliance  with (and the operation  thereof is in  compliance  with) all
applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  rules  and  regulations,  and is
sufficient  and suitable to enable  Tenant to operate the Demised  Premises in a
normal and  efficient  manner.  Said Schedule  13.10(a)  shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)      Except  as set forth on  Schedule  13.10(b),
none of the property  used by Landlord in  connection  with the operation of the
Demised Premises is subject to a conditional sale,  security interest or similar
arrangement.  Schedule 13.10(b) sets forth a complete and correct description of
each of the  Personal  Property  Leases  relating to the Demised  Premises as to
which  Landlord  is a party  (together  with  all  modifications  or  amendments
thereto),  the  annual  rental and  unexpired  lease  term  thereby  and all the
information set forth thereon is complete,  correct and accurate.  True, correct
and complete copies of each of said Personal  Property Leases (together with all
modifications or amendments  thereto) have been delivered to Tenant. All of said
Personal  Property Leases are valid,  binding and enforceable in accordance with
their  respective  terms and are in full force and  effect.  Landlord  is not in
default under any such lease, the consequences of which, either in an individual
case or in the aggregate,  would have a Material  Adverse Effect,  and there has
not been  asserted,  either by or against  Landlord  under any such  lease,  any
notice of  default,  set-off,  or claim of  default.  The parties to such leases
other than Landlord are not in default of their respective obligations under any
such lease,  and there has not occurred any event which with the passage of time
or giving of notice (or both) would  constitute  such a default or breach  under
any such lease. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 13.10(b), each of said
Personal  Property  Leases is  assignable  to Tenant  without the consent of the
lessor of such property.  Said Schedule  13.10(b) shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.11    Title, Condition of the Demised Premises.

                           (a)      Landlord  has good and  marketable  title to
the  Demised  Premises,  insurable  by any  reputable,  licensed  title  company
selected  by Tenant at  regular  rates,  free and clear of all Liens of any kind
whatsoever, other than those set forth on 13.11(a) (the "Permitted Exceptions").

                   INSURANCE, SUBROGATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
                   ------------------------------------------

                  15.1   Comprehensive   General   Liability  and   Professional

($3,000,000)  per  property,  with a Two Million  Dollar  ($2,000,000)  umbrella
policy.  Landlord  shall be named as an additional  insured or a loss payee,  as

liable to Landlord for any deficiency  should such insurance  under this Section
15.1 be insufficient to satisfy the liability of Tenant under Section 15.4.

                  15.2  Certificate of Insurance.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and
expense,  shall  carry  all  insurance  required  by  this  Article  XV  with  a
financially sound and reputable insurer qualified to do business in the State of
Kansas,  and Tenant  shall  cause each  policy of  insurance  procured by it and

each policy  required by this  Article.  Upon request of  Landlord,  Tenant will
furnish or cause to be furnished to Landlord from time to time, a summary of the
insurance covering required by this Article XV in form and substance  reasonably

                  A party's  obligation to carry the insurance  provided  herein
may be brought within the coverage of a so-called  "blanket  policy" or policies
of the insurance  carrier  maintained by such party or its  affiliated  business
organizations.  However,  the  other  party  to this  Lease  must be named as an
additional  insured  thereunder as its interest may appear; and the requirements
set forth herein must be otherwise satisfied.

                  15.3 Other  Coverage.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,
shall carry and maintain  throughout the Lease Term insurance for the benefit of

the Demised Premises. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall also carry and

coverage  for loss or damage to or from  explosion  of steam  boilers,  pressure
vessels or similar apparatus;  and workers compensation and employer's liability
insurance with a limit of not less than the amount required by applicable  state
statute.

                  15.4 Indemnification of Landlord.  Tenant assumes all risk and
responsibility for injury or death to persons and damage to property (damages to
the Demised Premises being waived to the extent of insurance proceeds paid to or
on behalf of Landlord) arising out of or in any way connected with or related to
Tenant's use and control of the Demised Premises  (including matters relating to
Tenant's  repair  and/or  alteration  of the Demised  Premises) and Tenant shall
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its partners, officers, directors,
managing  member,  members  and  shareholders  (collectively,  the  "Indemnified
Parties"),  from and against any and all claims, losses,  liabilities,  actions,
proceedings and expenses  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted  against  any of the  Indemnified  Parties by reason of,
arising out of or in any way  connected  with  Tenant's  use or operation of the
Demised  Premises or Other  Assets,  except to the extent such  claims,  losses,
liabilities, actions, proceedings and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arise
out of Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease. Tenant
shall  at  all  times  indemnify  and  hold  harmless  Landlord,  its  officers,
directors,  managing member, members and shareholders,  from and against any and
all claims, losses,  liabilities,  actions,  proceedings and expenses (including
reasonable  attorneys' fees) arising out of any inaccuracy in any representation
or breach of any warranty  set forth in Article XIV hereof.  The  provisions  of
this Section 15.4 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

                  15.5  Indemnification of Tenant.  Landlord and Jack West shall
at all times jointly and severally  defend,  indemnify and hold harmless Tenant,
its officers, directors and shareholders (collectively,  the "Tenant Indemnified
Parties"),  from and against any and all claims, losses,  liabilities,  actions,
proceedings and expenses  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against any of the Tenant Indemnified  Parties by reason
of, arising out of or in any way connected  with  Landlord's  use,  ownership or
operation of the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement  Date, except to the
extent such  claims,  losses,  liabilities,  actions,  proceedings  and expenses
(including reasonable attorney's fees) arise out of Tenants' negligence, willful
misconduct  or breach of this Lease.  Landlord  and Jack West shall at all times
jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant Indemnified
Parties  from and  against  any and all claims,  losses,  liabilities,  actions,
proceedings and expenses (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) arising out of
any  inaccuracy  in any  representation  or breach of any  warranty set forth in
Article  XIII hereof.  The  provisions  of this  Section 15.5 shall  survive the
termination or expiration of this Lease.

                  15.6 Fire,  Extended Coverage and Additional Perils Insurance.

during the Lease Term, a policy or policies of fire,  extended  coverage and all
risks  insurance by which Landlord and Tenant shall be insured  against loss and

damage to or destruction of the  improvements,  including  equipment,  fixtures,
furnishings  and other  personal  property used in  connection  with the Demised
Premises and the


                                     - 46 -

Leased  Equipment,  if any, for its full replacement  value (exclusive of Land),
less cost of  excavation,  foundation  and footings,  by policies  containing an
agreed amount  endorsement,  demolition coverage (XCU coverage) and ordinance or
law coverage, such policy or policies to be written on a replacement cost basis.
Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary,  Landlord  shall  at all  times  be
entitled to insurance in an amount  sufficient  to avoid being a coinsurer.  All
such insurance  shall be carried in favor of Landlord and  Landlord's  first fee
mortgagee as their interest(s) may appear. Such insurance may also be carried in
favor of Tenant and the holder(s) of any leasehold  mortgages on this Lease,  as
their  interests  may appear;  provided,  however,  that any such  policy  shall
effectively  provide, if such provision be obtainable,  that Landlord's interest
therein shall not be subject to cancellation by reason of any act or omission of
Tenant or any leasehold mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the
contrary,  all such fire and  extended  coverage  and other  insurance  policies
covering  damage to or destruction of buildings and  improvements on the Demised
Premises shall  effectively  provide that any loss payable  thereunder  shall be
adjusted solely by Tenant and the leasehold mortgagee(s),  and that the proceeds
of such  insurance  shall be  payable to  Tenant,  however,  if in excess of One
Hundred  Thousand  Dollars  ($100,000),  shall  be  paid to and  deposited  with
Landlord's first fee mortgagee,  provided such mortgagee is a bank, savings bank
or trust company whose  deposits are insured by the FDIC, or insurance  company,
pension fund, credit company or real estate investment trust, and such mortgagee
has resources in excess of $100,000,000 (an "Institutional  Lender"), and if not
then said proceeds shall be paid to and deposited with any Institutional  Lender
of Tenant's  selection,  as insurance trustee (the "Insurance  Trustee"),  which
shall  hold,  apply  and  make  available  the  proceeds  of such  insurance  as
hereinafter provided in this Lease.

                  15.7 Waiver of Subrogation.  Each party to this Lease releases
the other party  (which term as used in this  Section  includes  the  employees,
agents,  officers,  managing  member,  members and directors of the other party)
from all liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in connection with loss
covered by any fire  and/or  extended  coverage  insurance  policies,  which the
releasor  carries  with  respect to the  Demised  Premises,  or any  interest or
property  therein or thereon  (whether or not such  insurance  is required to be
carried  under this  Lease),  but only to the extent that such loss is collected
under said fire and/or extended  coverage  insurance  policies.  Such release is
also  conditioned  upon the  inclusion  in the policy or policies of a provision
whereby any such release shall not adversely affect said policies,  or prejudice
any right of the  releasor  to recover  thereunder.  Each party  agrees that its
insurance  policies  aforesaid will include such a provision so long as the same
shall be  obtainable  without  extra  cost,  or if extra  cost  shall be charged
therefor,  so long as the party for whose benefit the clause or  endorsement  is
obtained shall pay such extra cost. If extra cost shall be chargeable  therefor,
each party shall advise the other of the amount of the extra cost, and the other
party at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

                                   ARBITRATION
                                   -----------

         If any controversy should arise between the parties in the performance,
interpretation  or application of this Lease involving any matter,  either party
may serve upon the other a written


                                     - 47 -

<PAGE>



notice  stating that such party desires to have the  controversy  resolved by an
arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator
shall be selected or designated  by the American  Arbitration  Association  upon
written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the  arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

         As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator,  in any
non-monetary dispute, both parties shall be required to make a good faith effort
to resolve the  controversy,  which effort shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days prior to any demand for arbitration.  The cost of any such arbitration
shall be shared  equally  by the  parties.  Each  party  shall pay its own costs
incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         If the issue to be arbitrated is Landlord's or Tenant's  alleged breach
of this  Lease and as a result  thereof,  Landlord  or  Tenant  has the right to
terminate  this Lease,  Tenant  shall  continue  to lease the  Demised  Premises
pending the outcome of such  arbitration,  provided Landlord or Tenant may elect
to proceed without arbitration under its other remedies in this Lease.

other  business  entity or person  controlling,  controlled  by or under  common
control with  Landlord  ("Restricted  Party"),  shall,  directly or  indirectly,

Restricted Party shall disclose,  directly or indirectly,  to any person outside

                           (c)      For a  period  of five  (5)  years  from and
after the  Commencement  Date,  no  Restricted  Party  shall  solicit any of the
physicians,  customers, vendors, suppliers,  associates,  employees, independent

unreasonable in any  proceeding,  then the parties agree that the period of time
or the scope of such  restrictions  (or both) shall be adjusted to such a manner
or for such a time (or both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.

Section 17.1, any  advertisement  prepared for and disseminated to the public in
general, which advertises the services of any facility of Landlord not otherwise
in  violation of this  Section  17.1 or  advertises  the need for services to be

solicitation  with  respect  to any such  residents,  physicians,  suppliers  or
independent contractors.

                 EXTENSION OF COMMENCEMENT DATE AND TERMINATION
                 ----------------------------------------------

                  21.1 Termination. Without limiting any of the rights of Tenant
in this Lease or as it may be otherwise lawfully entitled, it is agreed that the
commencement of the Lease Term is conditioned upon, and shall be subject to, the
satisfaction  of all  conditions  precedent to Tenant's  obligations  hereunder,
including, without limitation, those conditions set forth in Article XIX hereof,
the  verification by Tenant of the accuracy of all of Landlord's and Jack West's
warranties and representations made herein and the due compliance by Landlord of
all of its  agreements set forth herein and elsewhere in this Lease which are to
be performed prior to the  Commencement  Date. If, on or before the Commencement
Date, Tenant, in its sole judgment,  shall determine that any of said conditions
precedent  have not been  satisfied,  or that  Landlord's  or any of Jack West's
representations  or warranties are untrue or that Landlord has not complied with
any of said


                                     - 56 -

<PAGE>



agreements, then the Tenant may elect to either (i) extend the Commencement Date
for a period or  periods  not in excess  of ninety  (90) days in the  aggregate,
during which time Landlord  shall use its best efforts to satisfy the condition,
complete   its  required   performance   and   otherwise   cure  the  defect  or
non-compliance;  or (ii) terminate this Lease, by notice to Landlord.  If at the
end of any extended period or periods for the  Commencement  Date said defect or
non-compliance has not been cured to Tenant's  reasonable  satisfaction,  Tenant
may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated,  as
aforesaid,  Landlord  shall  cause  any  deposits,  pre-payments  or other  sums
theretofore delivered or paid by Tenant hereunder to be refunded to Tenant, with
all interest earned thereon, and Landlord shall pay up to $15,000 of the cost of
any survey obtained,  any title search made, any insurance  commitment issued by
Tenant's title  insurance  company,  and any other  expenses,  including but not
limited to legal fees, incurred by Tenant, in connection with this Lease.

                  21.2 Tenant's  Remedies.  If Landlord fails to comply with any
of the  provisions of this Lease then,  in addition to all other legal  remedies
available to Tenant by reason of Landlord's default, Tenant shall have the right
to obtain specific  performance of Landlord's  obligations  hereunder.  Each and
every  covenant,  representation  and  warranty of  Landlord  and Jack West made
herein shall survive and continue after the Commencement Date. Nothing contained
herein  shall be deemed to restrict or limit  Tenant in any way from  offsetting
against  or  deducting  from any  Annual  Rent or other  payments  to be made to
Landlord  herein,  the  amount of any costs or damages  incurred  by Tenant as a
result of or arising out of the breach by Landlord of any  covenant,  agreement,
representation or warranty made by Landlord or Jack West in this Lease; provided
that the amount to be offset  against or deducted  from any  particular  payment
shall not exceed ten (10%) percent of such payment, with the balance of any such
amount to be offset against or deducted from subsequent payments subject to such
cap and carry forward provisions.

forth in Section  3.1.4 hereof,  from any Annual Rent or other  amounts  payable
under this Lease. At the expiration of any extended period or periods granted by
Tenant as  aforesaid,  Tenant  shall have the same rights of  extension  or self

limits not less than Three Million  ($3,000,000)  Dollars combined  coverage for
personal  injury  and  against  property  damage  with a limit of at least  Five
Hundred Thousand ($500,000)  Dollars,  which insurance shall be in effect at all
times when any work is being  performed  by or on behalf of Landlord on or about

has been completed and all equipment and facilities  required to be furnished by

have been connected to the Demised Premises and are operable,  Landlord shall be
deemed to have "delivered  possession of the Demised  Premises" to Tenant on the
fifth day  following  Tenant's  receipt of written  notice from  Landlord of the
completion of the items set forth in clauses (x) and (y) in this  paragraph (f),
provided that said notice is accompanied by:

                                    (i)     a final, non-conditional Certificate
of Occupancy, or its equivalent,  and all necessary licenses and permits, issued
by  the  appropriate  governmental  authorities,  permitting  Tenant's  use  and
occupancy of the Demised Premises for the purposes herein described,  including,
without  limitation,  any necessary licenses or permits for the operation of the
Demised Premises as a resident  congregant,  nursing care and/or assisted living
facility; and

                                    (ii)    a  board   of   fire   underwriter's
certificate with respect to the electrical installations in the Demised Premises
and such other  certificates  as are  customarily  obtained for similar types of
buildings and improvements.

For purposes of this Lease,  the  "Commencement  Date" shall be deemed to be the
date upon which Tenant  officially opens the Demised  Premises for business,  or
five (5) days after Landlord's delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to
Tenant as  aforesaid,  whichever  first  occurs.  Landlord and Tenant agree that
delivery  of  possession  of the  Demised  Premises  shall not be deemed to have
occurred  until  exclusive  possession of the Demised  Premises  shall have been
delivered to Tenant with the completion of Landlord's  Construction Work (except
such non-substantial and non-material portions thereof as Landlord shall have by
reason of  Excusable  Delays been unable to  complete,  provided  the failure to
complete said items does not  interfere  with Tenant's full use and enjoyment of
the  Demised  Premises  and  further  provided  that said  incomplete  items are
thereafter  completed  within thirty (30) days,  said Demised  Premises to be in
broom clean condition.

                           (g)      Tenant's  acceptance  of  possession  of the
Demised  Premises  shall not be deemed a waiver  by  Tenant  of any  failure  by
Landlord to complete and perform Landlord's Construction Work in compliance with
the provisions of this Lease.

                           (h)      If Tenant submits to Landlord a written list
of items which  Landlord  is  obligated  to complete or correct  pursuant to the
final plans and specifications (as described in

Exhibit C) for  Landlord's  Construction  Work,  Landlord shall have a period of
thirty  (30) days from the date of said notice to  complete  such work,  failing
which Tenant shall have the right to complete such work at  Landlord's  cost and
expense,  and Tenant may  deduct and offset  from any Annual  Rent or other sums
thereafter  due  Landlord  an  amount  equal to  Tenant's  cost and  expense  in
performing  such  work,   together  with  interest  thereon  from  the  date  of
expenditure  at the annual rate set forth in Section 3.1.4  hereof,  if Landlord
does not reimburse  Tenant on demand  therefor.  It is expressly  understood and
agreed,  however,  that Tenant's  failure to submit such list to Landlord or its
failure to include any item of  incomplete  or  incorrect  work on any such list
shall not be deemed a waiver of any of  Tenant's  rights  with  respect  to such
incomplete  or  incorrect  work,  Landlord  hereby  agreeing  that it  shall  be
Landlord's  obligation  to  complete  or  correct  the  same in any  event.  The
foregoing  provisions  of  this  subsection  shall  also  be  applicable  to any
supplementary list submitted by Tenant to Landlord after the initial list, which
supplementary list may include, without limitation,  latent or other defects not
readily  ascertainable  in the  course of  Tenant's  initial  inspection  of the
Demised  Premises.  Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to furnish the initial
list to Landlord  prior to the  expiration of ninety (90) days after the opening
of the Demised Premises for the conduct of business.

                            PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT
                            -------------------------


         THIS PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT ("Option Agreement") is made and entered
into as of the 18th day of June,  1996 by and THE  HARTMOOR  HOMESTEAD,  L.C., a
Kansas limited  liability  company having an address c/o The Homestead  Company,
L.C., 155 North Market, Suite 910, Wichita,  Kansas 67202,  Attention:  Mr. Jack
West ("Owner"),  and INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES AT WICHITA,  INC., a Delaware
corporation having an office at 10065 Red Run Boulevard,  Owing Mills,  Maryland
21117 ("Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Owner  is the  owner  of  certain  parcels  of land  and real
property (the "Land") as indicated and more fully  described on Exhibit A hereto
and all of the "Leased  Improvements",  "Related Rights" and "Fixtures" (as said
terms are  defined in the  hereinafter  described  Lease)  situated  thereon and
appurtenant  thereto,  and Owner is the  owner of the  "Personal  Property"  and
"Other Assets" (as said terms are defined in the Lease) situate on,  appurtenant
to  and/or  related  to the Land  and  Leased  Improvements  (the  Land,  Leased
Improvements,  Related Rights, Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets are
herein collectively referred to as the "Facility"); and

         WHEREAS, Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Lease Agreement
of even date herewith ("Lease") pursuant to which Owner has agreed to demise and
Optionee has agreed to lease the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Right of First
Refusal  Agreement of even date  herewith  (the "Right of First  Refusal")  with
respect to third party offers to purchase the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner has agreed to grant to  Optionee  an option to purchase
all of the Facility.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and  in  consideration  of the  promises  herein
contained,  and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are  acknowledged by the parties,  Owner and Optionee agree
as follows:

         1. Grant of Option.  Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the
terms and  conditions  as set forth below,  Owner  hereby  grants and conveys to
Optionee  the  irrevocable  and  exclusive  right and option (the  "Option")  to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Facility from Owner,  upon the terms
and conditions of this Option Agreement. If the Lease is terminated prior to the
Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease), then this Option Agreement shall be
deemed to be terminated simultaneously with such termination of the Lease.

         2. Option Period. The Option may be exercised by Optionee in the manner
specified  in  Section 4 hereof at any time  during the  Initial  Term after the
fifth  anniversary  of the date of the Lease and,  if the Lease is  extended  as
provided therein, at any time during each Renewal Term of the


                                  

<PAGE>



Lease (the terms  "Initial  Term" and "Renewal Term" being defined in the Lease;
said  periods,  each  individually  referred  to herein as an "Option  Period").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be an abeyance of Optionee's right to
exercise the Option during any (a) ninety (90) day period  provided in Section 3
of the Right of First Refusal during which Owner can accept an Offer (as defined
in the Right of First  Refusal)  and (b) period that a contract of sale  between
Owner and a third  party with  respect to an Offer is in full force and  effect.
The abeyance of Optionee's  right to exercise the Option shall  automatically be
lifted if Owner does not accept the Offer  within such ninety (90) day period or
any such contract of sale is terminated.

         If the  Option has not been  exercised  by  Optionee,  as  provided  in
Section 3 hereof,  prior to the  expiration of the last Option  Period,  or such
later date as is provided in Section 3 hereof,  the Option  shall  automatically
expire and be of no further force or effect.

         3. Exercise of the Option. Optionee shall exercise the Option by giving
written notice thereof (the "Exercise  Notice") to Owner in the manner  provided
in Section 16 hereof,  at least one hundred  twenty (120) days prior to the date
specified  in such  notice  for the  Closing  (as  hereinafter  defined)  of the
purchase of the  Facility by Optionee  (as the same may be extended  pursuant to
the terms  hereof,  the  "Closing  Date"),  provided  that in no event shall the
Closing Date specified in the Exercise  Notice be later than the date originally
set forth in the Lease for the  expiration  of the Lease Term (as defined in the
Lease).  Notwithstanding  the general notice period under Section 16 hereof, the
Exercise  Notice,  if mailed in  accordance  with  Section 16  hereof,  shall be
effective  upon deposit with the United States mail.  From and after the date on
which the Exercise  Notice is given,  this Option  Agreement shall be deemed for
all purposes to be a legally enforceable contract between Optionee and Owner for
the sale and  purchase  of the  Facility  upon the terms and  conditions  herein
provided.  If Optionee  fails to exercise  the Option in the manner  provided in
this Option Agreement prior to the expiration of the last Option Period, subject
to the following  sentence,  the Option shall expire,  and no party hereto shall
thereafter  have any rights,  liabilities or obligations  whatsoever  under this
Option  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and anything  herein to the
contrary,  in the event that the Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the
date  originally set forth therein for the  expiration of the term thereof,  the
Option shall  continue and Optionee  shall have the right to exercise the Option
by giving the Exercise Notice to Owner not later than the ten (10) business days
after  the date on which  the  notice  of  termination  under the Lease has been
given,  provided that the Closing Date in such event shall be not later than the
date which is one hundred twenty (120) days  following the date the  termination
of the Lease  became  effective.  If the Lease is  terminated  or the Lease Term
expires prior to the Closing Date, then Optionee shall be permitted to remain in
possession of the Facility  until the Closing Date, or such earlier date as this
Option  Agreement may be terminated as herein  provided,  such  possession to be
upon all of the same terms and provisions of the Lease (including the provisions
for payment of Annual Rent) in effect  during the Lease Year (the terms  "Annual
Rent" and "Lease Year" being defined in the Lease) in effect  immediately  prior
to the date of the termination of the Lease or expiration of the Lease Term.

         4.       Sale and Purchase of the Facility.
                  ----------------------------------

                  (a) Upon the giving of the Exercise  Notice,  Owner shall sell
the Facility to Optionee and Optionee  shall purchase the Facility from Owner in
the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

                  (b)  Optionee's  decision to exercise  the Option shall not be
deemed a waiver of any breach of  representation,  warranty or covenant given by
Owner or Jack West in this Option Agreement, the Lease or in the Deed or Bill of
Sale referred to in Section 9 hereof,  and Optionee  shall retain all rights and
remedies with respect thereto.

         5. Purchase Price. (a) Optionee shall pay to Owner, in consideration of
the sale and  conveyance  of the  Facility to  Optionee,  a purchase  price (the
"Purchase  Price")  equal to the fair market value of the Facility as determined
pursuant to the appraisal process hereinafter described,  provided, however, the
Purchase Price shall not be less than $2,800,000. The entire Purchase Price will
be payable at the Closing by  Optionee's  certified  check or an  official  bank
check,  (either  such check  being  hereinafter  referred  to as an  "Acceptable
Check") payable to the order of Owner, or at Owner's option, by wire transfer of
immediately  available  federal funds to Owner's account in a commercial bank in
accordance  with wire transfer  instructions  to be furnished by Owner not later
than ten (10) days prior to the Closing, or by (at Owner's option) a combination
of both.

                  (b) Any  appraisal  of fair market  value to be made under the
provisions of this Section shall be made as follows:

                  At any time  after  Owner's  receipt  of  Optionee's  Exercise
Notice,  Owner and Optionee may, by notice to the other, appoint a disinterested
person  of  recognized  competence  in the field as one of the  appraisers,  and
within twenty (20) days thereafter the other party shall, by notice to the party
appointing  the  first  appraiser,   appoint  another  disinterested  person  of
recognized  competence in such field as a second appraiser.  The appraisers thus
appointed shall appoint a third disinterested person of recognized competence in
such field, and such three  appraisers  shall as promptly as possible  determine
such value, provided, however, that:

                           (i)      if the second  appraiser shall not have been
appointed as aforesaid,  the first  appraiser  shall  proceed to determine  such
value; and

                           (ii)     if,   within   ten  (10)   days   after  the
appointment of the second appraiser, the two appraisers appointed by the parties
shall be unable to agree upon the appointment of a third  appraiser,  they shall
give notice of such failure to agree to the parties, and, if the parties fail to
agree upon the selection of such third appraiser  within five (5) days after the
appraisers appointed by the parties gave notice, as aforesaid,  then within five
(5) days thereafter  either of the parties upon notice to the other party hereto
may apply for such  appointment to a court of the State of Kansas having a situs
in Sedgwick County.

                   All  appraisers,  in addition to being  persons of recognized
competence in the field of appraisal,  shall be MAI appraisers with at least ten
years prior  experience.  Each of the parties  shall each be entitled to present
evidence and argument to the appraisers.  The  determination  of the majority of
the appraisers or of the sole appraiser,  as the case may be, or, if there is no
majority,  the average of said appraisers appraisals (provided,  however, if any
single  appraisal  deviates from the average of the other two appraisals by more
than twenty (20%)  percent,  then such  appraisal  shall be  disregarded in such
determination),  shall be conclusive upon the parties and judgment upon the same
may be entered in any court having  jurisdiction  thereof.  The appraisers shall
give notice to the parties  stating  their  determination,  and shall furnish to
each party a copy of such determination signed by them. Each party shall pay the
costs, fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by that party and costs, fees
and the expenses of the third  appraiser and all other aspects of this appraisal
process  shall be borne  equally by the  parties.  Each party  shall pay its own
costs  and  expenses  incurred  as a  result  of its  participation  in any such
appraisal  process.  In the event of the  failure,  refusal or  inability of any
appraiser  to act, a new  appraiser  shall be  appointed in his stead within ten
(10) days,  which  appointment  shall be made in the same manner as hereinbefore
provided for the appointment of the appraiser so failing,  refusing or unable to
act.  The  appraisers  shall base their  determination  on the  highest and best
legally permissible use of the Facility,  as-is at the time of the Closing Date,
and unencumbered by the Lease, and shall not have the power to add to, modify or
change any of the provisions of this Option Agreement.

         6.  Intentionally Deleted.

         7.  Survey  and  Engineering.  Optionee  shall at all times  during the
Option  Period and  before  the  Closing  have the  privilege  of going upon the
Facility with its agents or engineers as needed to inspect,  examine, survey and
otherwise do what Optionee deems  necessary in the  engineering and planning for
development of the Facility. Said privilege shall include the right to make soil
tests,  borings,  percolation  tests  and  tests  to  obtain  other  information
necessary to determine surface, subsurface and topographic conditions; provided,
however,  that  Optionee  shall hold Owner  harmless  from any damages  incurred
through the  exercise of such  privilege.  Optionee  and Owner agree that in the
event of the exercise of the Option, Optionee may obtain surveys of the Facility
(hereinbelow referred to as the "Surveys") to be made by surveyors duly licensed
within  the state  where the  Facility  is  located  to  determine  the true and
accurate  legal  description of the  properties  comprising the Facility,  which
Surveys shall be at Optionee's sole cost and expense.

         8.  Examination  of Title.  Optionee  shall on or about the date of the
exercise of the Option  order a title  insurance  search and  commitment  for an
Owner's title insurance policy from any reputable title insurance  company,  and
not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date  Optionee  shall cause a
copy of such  title  company's  report  to be sent to Owner and  Optionee  shall
advise Owner of any defects or objections  affecting the  marketability of title
for the Facility disclosed by such report (a "Defect"), other than the following
items:  (herein  referred to  collectively as the "Permitted  Exceptions")  real
property and personal property taxes and assessments  applicable to the Facility
that are not yet due and payable,  recorded  general utility  service  easements
affecting the Facility  which are acceptable to Optionee,  defects  arising from
acts or omissions (or with the written


                                       -4-

<PAGE>



consent) of Optionee and the items listed on Exhibit B hereto.  Owner shall then
have a reasonable  time,  not less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice
of such Defect from Optionee,  to cure or remove such Defect,  or if such Defect
may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a  liquidated  sum,  Owner may, in
lieu of curing or removing such Defect,  deposit with Optionee's title insurance
company  such  amount of money as may be  determined  by said  company  as being
sufficient  to induce  it to omit  such  Defect  from its  policy  and to insure
Optionee against  collection of the same.  Owner shall, in good faith,  exercise
reasonable  diligence  to cure all  Defects.  If Owner fails or refuses to cure,
remove or (if  herein  permitted)  so insure  against  any  Defect  prior to the
Closing Date or the thirty (30) day cure period,  whichever is less, in addition
to the other  rights and  remedies  that  Optionee may have in law or in equity,
Optionee  may, at its  option:  (a) cure,  remove or so insure  against any such
Defect,  in which event the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by the amount equal
to the actual  costs and  expenses  incurred by Optionee in curing,  removing or
insuring  against such Defect;  (b) accept title to the Facility subject to such
Defect or Defects with an abatement of the Purchase  Price in an amount equal to
the then  ascertainable  cost of removing or curing said  Defect;  or (c) cancel
this  Option  Agreement.  If  Optionee  elects  to cure or remove  such  Defect,
Optionee at its option, upon giving notice to Owner, may extend the Closing Date
for the purchase of the Facility (and if necessary, the Option Period shall also
be  extended)  for  ninety  (90) days.  If any Defect  shall not have been cured
within  such  period,  Optionee  may  again  exercise  any of its  rights  under
subsections (a), (b), or (c) hereof.

         9.       Closing and Closing Date.
                  ------------------------
                  (a) The  consummation  of the sale by Owner  and  purchase  by
Optionee  of the  Facility  (the  "Closing")  shall  occur at the offices of the
attorney for Optionee in Wichita,  Kansas,  on the Closing Date as designated by
Optionee in the Exercise Notice. At the Closing, Owner shall execute and deliver
to Optionee a general warranty deed (the "Deed") conveying fee simple marketable
record  title to the Facility to Optionee  free and clear of all liens,  special
assessments  and other  Impositions  (as defined in the Lease),  or installments
thereof,  as the case may be,  which were due and  payable  prior to the date of
this Option Agreement,  easements,  reservations,  restrictions and encumbrances
whatsoever, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions. At the Closing, Owner shall
deliver a bill of sale  (the  "Bill of Sale")  to  Optionee  conveying  good and
marketable title to the Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets.  The Bill
of Sale shall  contain a warranty  that such  property  is free and clear of all
liens,  encumbrances,  security  interests  and  adverse  claims  except for the
lien(s) of the Permitted  Exceptions,  if any. It is agreed that Optionee  shall
prepare any  required  sales tax return;  that said return  shall be executed by
Owner at the  Closing;  and that Owner shall file same and pay any sales tax due
thereon promptly after the Closing.

                  (b) No prorations or  apportionments  shall be required at the
Closing,  except that  Optionee  shall pay, or cause to be paid,  to Owner at or
before the Closing all Annual Rent and other sums then due and payable  pursuant
to the Lease and, if  applicable,  accrued from the date of  termination  of the
Lease or  expiration  of the Lease Term  through  the  Closing  Date,  as herein
provided.  Owner shall, at the Closing,  pay for the preparation of the Deed and
for all transfer taxes as required by law.

                  (c) The Deed shall be in recordable form and duly executed and
acknowledged.  The Deed shall have  affixed  thereto  any  requisite  surtax and
documentary tax stamps, in proper amount, affixed by Owner, at Owner's sole cost
and expense.  At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to Optionee its  Acceptable
Check(s),  to the order of the appropriate tax collecting agency or official, in
the amount of all transfer taxes and other taxes and charges in connection  with
the sale and transfer of the Facility by Owner to Optionee and the  recording of
the Deed, or allow  Optionee a credit  against the Purchase Price due at Closing
in the amount thereof.

                  (d) A draft of the Deed and the Bill of Sale,  and a  proposed
schedule of apportionments  shall be delivered by Owner to Optionee's  attorneys
for review and  approval  at least ten (10)  business  days prior to the Closing
Date.

                  (e) If Owner or any  managing  member  or member of Owner is a
corporation,  Owner shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,  to Optionee at the
Closing a sworn certificate by the secretary of such corporation certifying that
the  Board of  Directors  and  Shareholders  of such  corporation  have  adopted
resolutions  authorizing  the  sale of the  Facility  pursuant  to  this  Option
Agreement  and  delivery  of the  Deed  and all  other  documents  delivered  to
Optionee,  and setting forth such additional  facts, if any, needed to show that
the conveyance is in conformity with applicable law.

                  (f) At the Closing,  Owner shall deliver to Optionee copies of
any required transfer tax returns executed by Owner.

                  (g) At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to  Optionee,  such
affidavits as Optionee's title insurance  company shall require in order to omit
from its title  insurance  policy all mechanics'  liens arising from the acts or
omissions  of Owner and rights of parties in  possession  (other than parties in
possession under the Lease) and exceptions for judgments,  bankruptcies or other
returns  against  persons or entities  whose names are the same as or similar to
Owner's name.

                  (h) At  the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  to  Optionee  an
affidavit  stating,  under penalty of perjury,  Owner's  United States  taxpayer
identification  number and that  Owner is not a  "foreign  person" as defined in
Section  1445(f)(3)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and
otherwise in the form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

                  (i)  At the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  any  affidavits,
statements, certifications or other documents which are required by the laws and
regulations  of the  state  and  local  governmental  authorities  in which  the
Facility is located,  to be delivered by sellers of real estate,  and shall also
deliver all other documents it is required to deliver pursuant to the provisions
of this Option Agreement.

         10.      Owner's Representations and Warranties.

                  (a) To induce  Optionee to enter into this  Option  Agreement,
Owner and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants, to Optionee as follows:



                                       -6-

<PAGE>



                           (i)  Owner  is  a  limited   liability  company  duly
organized,  validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,  operating  agreement  and all
amendments thereto to date (collectively,  the "Organizational  Documents") have
been delivered to Optionee,  and are true,  complete and correct.  Owner has the
power  and  authority  to own the  property  and  assets  now owned by it and to
conduct the business  presently being conducted by it and as currently  proposed
to be conducted.

                         (ii)   Owner has the full,  absolute  and  unrestricted
right,  power and  authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform this Option
Agreement,   including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,   and  the  other
instruments and documents required or contemplated  hereby and thereby ("Owner's
Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and consummation
have been duly authorized by all necessary action (partnership, corporate, trust
or otherwise,  as the case may be) on the part of Owner, its managing member and
members,  and all  consents  of  holders  of  indebtedness  of Owner  have  been
obtained.

                        (iii)   This  Option  Agreement  constitutes  the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable  against Owner in accordance
with its terms  and each of  Owner's  Transaction  Documents  executed  by Owner
constitute the valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable against Owner
in accordance with their respective terms.

                         (iv)   None of the execution or delivery of this Option
Agreement or any of Owner's Transaction  Documents,  the performance by Owner of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby,  conflicts with, or constitutes a breach of or a
default under (1) Owner's Organizational  Documents;  or (2) any applicable law,
rule,  judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  or decree of any court currently in
effect; or (3) any applicable rule or regulation of any administrative agency or
other  governmental  authority  currently in effect;  or (4) any written or oral
agreement,  indenture,  contract  or  instrument  to which  Owner or any  member
thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the Facility is bound.

                          (v)   No authorization,  consent,  approval,  license,
exemption by filing or registration  with any court or governmental  department,
commission,  board, bureau,  agency or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign, or
any other Person (as defined in the Lease) is or will be necessary in connection
with any Owner's execution, delivery and performance of this Option Agreement or
any  of  Owner's  Transaction   Documents,   or  for  the  consummation  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (b) All of the representations,  warranties and agreements set
forth  herein  and  elsewhere  in this  Option  Agreement,  shall be true in all
material respects upon the execution of this Option  Agreement,  shall be deemed
to be  repeated  on the  Commencement  Date  of the  Lease  and at and as of the
Closing Date and shall survive the delivery of the Deed. No such  representation
or warranty shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. Except as herein expressly provided,
neither Owner nor Jack West makes any representations or warranties with respect
to the Facility.

                                       -7-

<PAGE>



                  (c) Without  limiting any of the rights of Optionee  elsewhere
provided  for in this  Option  Agreement,  it is agreed that the  obligation  of
Optionee to close title under this Option  Agreement is  conditioned  upon,  and
shall be subject to, the  verification  by  Optionee  of the  accuracy of all of
Owner's and Jack West's warranties and representations and the due compliance by
Owner with all of its  agreements  set forth herein and elsewhere in this Option
Agreement.  If, on or before  the  Closing  Date,  Optionee,  in its  reasonable
judgment,   shall   determine  that  any  of  Owner's  or  any  of  Jack  West's
representations  or warranties are untrue in any material  respect or that Owner
has not  complied  with  any of said  agreements,  then  Optionee  may  elect to
terminate  this  Option  Agreement  by  notice  given to Owner.  If this  Option
Agreement is  terminated,  as aforesaid,  Owner shall pay the cost of any survey
obtained and the cost of any title search made, any insurance commitment issued,
by Optionee's title insurance company and any other expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,  incurred by Optionee,
in connection with this Option Agreement.

         11.      Additional Settlement Requirements.

                  (a)  Optionee's  obligation  to accept  title to the  Facility
shall be  subject  to each of the  following  conditions  being in effect at the
Closing Date:

                           (i)      the  satisfaction of all title  requirements
         and conditions set forth under this Option Agreement; and

                           (ii)     each and  every  one of the  representations
         and warranties described in Section 10 hereof being true and correct as
         of the Closing Date in all material respects.

                  (b)      At the Closing, Owner shall:

                           (i)      duly  execute and  deliver to  Optionee  the
         Deed in recordable  form and the Bill of Sale conveying the Facility to
         Optionee in accordance with the terms hereof;

                           (ii)     deliver   possession   of  the  Facility  to
         Optionee,  free  and  clear  of any  indebtedness  and  security  liens
         relating thereto (excluding those created by Optionee).

                  (c)  At  the  Closing,   Optionee  shall  deliver,  as  herein
provided,  the balance of the Purchase Price for the Facility and all other sums
due pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement.

         12. Covenants and Agreements of Owner.  Owner hereby further  covenants
and agrees that from and after the date hereof  until the Closing  Date,  unless
permitted  pursuant to the Lease,  Owner shall not grant or otherwise  create or
consent  to or  permit  the  creation  of any  easement,  restriction,  lien  or
encumbrance  affecting the Facility or any portion or portions  thereof  without
the prior written consent of Optionee.  From and after the date hereof until the
Closing  Date,  unless  permitted  pursuant  to the  Lease or the Right of First
Refusal,  Owner shall not, without the prior written consent of Optionee,  sell,
convey or transfer the Facility or any portion or portions thereof,


                                       -8-

<PAGE>



to anyone other than Optionee; provided, however, that any such sale, conveyance
or  transfer  shall be  subject  to all rights of  Optionee  under  this  Option
Agreement, the Right of First Refusal and the Lease.

         13.      Intentionally Deleted.
                  ---------------------
         14. Defaults.  In the event Owner or Jack West breach,  in any material
respect,  any warranty or  representation as contained in this Option Agreement,
or Owner  fails to comply with or perform any of the  covenants,  agreements  or
obligations  to be  performed  by Owner under the terms and  provisions  of this
Option Agreement,  Optionee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and
remedies  available  to  Optionee  at  law  or  in  equity,  including,  without
limitation, the enforcement by specific performance of Owner's obligations under
this Option Agreement.  If Owner shall be in compliance with all its obligations
hereunder and shall tender the Deed, the Bill of Sale and all other  instruments
required  by this  Option  Agreement  in full  compliance  with its  obligations
hereunder  and  Optionee  shall fail or refuse to close title as required by the
terms of this Option Agreement,  or if Optionee  otherwise defaults hereunder so
that Owner has the right to refuse to close title,  then Owner shall be entitled
to  exercise  any and all rights and  remedies  available  to Owner at law or in
equity, including,  without limitation,  the enforcement by specific performance
of Optionee's obligations under this Option Agreement.

         15. Arbitration. If any controversy should arise between the parties in
the  performance,  interpretation  or  application  of  this  Option  Agreement,
involving  any matter,  either  party may serve upon the other a written  notice
stating  that  such  party  desires  to  have  the  controversy  reviewed  by an
arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator
shall be selected or designated  by the American  Arbitration  Association  upon
written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Owner and
Optionee. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

                  As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator
both  parties  shall be  required  to make a good faith  effort to  resolve  the
controversy  which effort shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days prior
to any  demand for  arbitration.  The cost and  expense of any such  arbitration
shall be shared  equally by the parties.  Each party shall pay its own costs and
expenses incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         16.  Notices.  All notices,  requests,  demand or other  communications
required or permitted under this Option  Agreement shall be in writing and shall

given  hereunder  or to  insist  upon  strict  compliance  with  any  obligation
specified  herein,  and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof,
shall  constitute a waiver of either  party's  right to demand exact  compliance
with the terms hereof.  This Option  Agreement  contains the entire agreement of
the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements,
oral or otherwise,  among the parties not embodied  herein shall be of any force
or effect.  Any amendment to this Option Agreement shall not be binding upon any
of the parties  hereto  unless such  amendment is in writing and executed by all
parties hereto. This Option Agreement may be executed in multiple  counterparts,
each of which shall  constitute  an  original,  but all of which taken  together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Owner and Optionee agree that such
documents as may be legally necessary or otherwise  appropriate to carry out the
terms of this Option  Agreement shall be executed and delivered by each party at
the Closing.

         20. Severability.  This Option Agreement is intended to be performed in
accordance  with,  and only to the extent  permitted  by, all  applicable  laws,
ordinances,  rules and regulations. If any provision of this Option Agreement or
the application  thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and
to any  extent,  be invalid  or  unenforceable,  the  remainder  of this  Option
Agreement  and  the   application   of  such   provision  to  other  persons  or
circumstances  shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.

         21.      Understanding   and   Agreements.    This   Option   Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding and agreements of whatsoever nature or kind
existing among the parties with respect to the Option.

         22.      Governing  Law. This Option  Agreement  shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

         23.  Broker.  Each of the parties  hereto  agrees that it has not dealt
with any  broker  in  connection  with this  transaction  other  than  Southwest
Retirement  Properties (the "Broker") and Optionee agrees to pay any commissions
earned by the Broker,  whether pursuant to a separate  agreement  between it and
the Broker, or otherwise. If no broker is specified in this Section, the parties
acknowledge that this Option  Agreement was brought about by direct  negotiation
between  Owner and Optionee and that neither  Owner nor Optionee  know of anyone
entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction. Owner and Optionee
shall indemnify and defend each other 

                                      -11-

against  any and all  claims,  demands,  costs,  expenses  or causes of  actions
arising  out of a breach of the  agreements  contained  in this  Section 23. The
representations,  warranties and indemnities  contained in this Section 23 shall
survive the Closing,  or if the Closing does not occur,  the termination of this
Option Agreement.

         24. Condemnation. If, after the exercise of the Option and prior to the
Closing Date,  all or any portion of the Facility is taken by eminent  domain or
condemnation  (or is the subject of a pending or  contemplated  taking which has
not been  consummated),  Owner shall notify  Optionee of such fact, and Optionee
shall have, in the event that the whole Facility or a "substantial  and material
portion"  (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Lease) of the  Facility is taken (or
is  the  subject  of a  pending  or  contemplated  taking  which  has  not  been
consummated),  the option to  terminate  this  Option  Agreement upon notice to
Owner given not later than  fifteen (15) days after  receipt of Owner's  notice.
Upon such termination by Optionee neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations  hereunder.  If Optionee  does not exercise this option to terminate
this Option  Agreement or the taking (or pending or contemplated  taking) is not
of the whole or a substantial and material portion of the Facility,  there shall
be a fair and equitable  adjustment  of the Purchase  Price or, at the option of
Optionee,  in lieu of such  adjustment,  Owner shall  assign and turn over,  and
Optionee shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for
such taking by eminent domain or condemnation.

         25.  Expense  of  Litigation.  If  either  party  incurs  any  expense,
including  reasonable   attorneys'  fees,  in  connection  with  any  action  or
proceeding  instituted  by  either  party by reason of any  default  or  alleged
default of the other party  hereunder,  the court or tribunal  before which such
proceeding  is  pending  may award to the  party  prevailing  in such  action or
proceeding  the reasonable  attorneys'  fees of such  prevailing  party from the
other party.

         26.  Memorandum of Option  Agreement.  Owner and Optionee shall execute
and deliver to each other an  instrument,  recordable in form setting forth such
information  as may be necessary to constitute a "memorandum  of agreement"  for
recording  purposes  immediately  upon execution of this Option  Agreement.  Any
party,  at its  expense,  shall  have the right to  record  such  memorandum  of
agreement for the purpose of giving notice of Optionee's rights pursuant to this
Option Agreement.  This Option Agreement shall not be recorded.

                        RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT

                  THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made
and entered into as of the 18th day of June,  1996,  by and between THE HARTMOOR
HOMESTEAD,  L.C., a Kansas limited  liability  company having an address c/o The
Homestead  Company,  L.C., 155 North Market,  Suite 910, Wichita,  Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr.  Jack West,  as landlord  ("Landlord"),  and  INTEGRATED  LIVING
COMMUNITIES AT WICHITA,  INC., a Delaware  corporation having an office at 10065
Red Run Boulevard, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117, as tenant ("Tenant").

                           W I T N E S S E T H: That;

                  WHEREAS,  Landlord  and Tenant are parties to a certain  Lease
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Lease")  covering the Facility known
as "The Hartmoor Homestead;" and

                  WHEREAS,  in consideration for Tenant's agreement to lease the
Demised Premises under the Lease, Landlord has agreed to grant Tenant a right of
first  refusal to purchase the Demised  Premises  described in the Lease,  which
includes the Land described on Exhibit A hereto.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including,
without limitation,  the rents and mutual covenants and agreements  contained in
the Lease, the parties agree as follows:

                  1   Grant of Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises under the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2.  Notice of  Offers.  If at any time  during  the Lease Term
Landlord  receives a bona fide written  Offer (as  hereinafter  defined) for the
sale of the Demised  Premises  from any third  person or entity  which  Landlord
desires to accept,  Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Offer in writing, which
notification (the "Notice") shall contain a copy of the bona fide written Offer.
For purposes of this  Agreement,  an "Offer"  shall mean any written  instrument
setting forth the terms  pursuant to which such third party proposes to purchase
the Demised Premises,  including,  without  limitation,  non-binding  letters of
intent.

                  3.  Exercise  of Right of First  Refusal.  Tenant  shall  have
twenty (20) days after  receipt of the Notice in which to elect to purchase  the
Demised  Premises on the same terms and  conditions  as those  contained  in the
Offer;  provided,  however,  that the  purchase  price  payable by Tenant or its
designee  shall be the  purchase  price set  forth in the Offer or the  purchase
price that Tenant is required to pay under the Option  Agreement,  whichever  is
less. Such election shall be made by written notice to Landlord,  accompanied by
a check in the amount of the deposit set forth in the Offer,  if any, and within
thirty (30) days  thereafter the parties shall enter into a formal  contract for
the sale of the  Demised  Premises  containing  all terms of the  Offer  made to
Landlord,  except  as  hereinabove  set  forth and  except  as the  parties  may
otherwise  mutually  agree.  If Tenant  fails to give the  notice or tender  the
payment, or if Tenant fails to enter into the contract of sale as provided


                                       -1-

<PAGE>



herein,  Landlord shall have the right to accept the Offer, but shall not accept
any other offer at a lower price,  or on terms  materially more favorable to the
third party  purchaser  than that  contained in the Offer,  without  first again
granting Tenant the right to purchase the Demised Premises as aforesaid.  In the
event  Landlord  does not accept the Offer within  ninety (90) days after Tenant
fails to  exercise  its  right of first  refusal  with  respect  to the  Demised
Premises as granted  herein,  or within  ninety (90) days after Tenant  notifies
Landlord  that it  declines to exercise  its right of first  refusal,  or if the
contract with the third party is thereafter terminated for any reason,  Landlord
shall again give Tenant the right to purchase the Demised  Premises as set forth
herein  before  accepting  the Offer or any other bona fide written offer of any
third party.

                  4. Transfer of Ownership  Interests by Landlord.  The right of
first refusal contained herein shall not be applicable to transfers of ownership
interests in Landlord provided that a majority interest in Landlord continues to
be held in the aggregate by the members of Landlord which or who were members on
the Commencement Date of the Lease.

                  5.   Notices.   All  notices,   requests,   demands  or  other
communications  required or permitted  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and  shall  be  either  personally  delivered  evidenced  by a  signed  receipt,
transmitted by United States certified mail, return receipt  requested,  postage
prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,  addressed as
follows:

12-month period that commences on the  Commencement  Date, or any anniversary of

day other than the first day of a month, then a Lease Year shall commence on the
first day of the first month  following  the  Commencement  Date except that the
first Lease Year shall include the period from the Commencement Date through the
last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.

the Lease Term,  shall be apportioned,  if necessary.  All rental payments to be

                           Year  thereafter  at the  annual  rate  equal  to the
                           product  resulting from  multiplying  the Annual Rent
                           for the first Lease Year by a fraction the  numerator
                           of which is the Price  Index (as  defined  in Article
                           VIII)  published for the first  calendar month of the
                           Lease Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is
                           being made, and the  denominator of which is the Base
                           Price  Index (as defined in Article  VIII);  provided
                           that the Annual  Rent for the Lease Year in  question
                           shall  not be  lower  than  the  Annual  Rent for the
                           immediately preceding Lease Year.

                  3.1.2    Annual   Rent   shall  be  paid  in   equal   monthly
                           installments and shall be payable in advance, without
                           demand,  on the  first  day of  each  calendar  month
                           during any Lease  Year.  All  payments of Annual Rent
                           and  all  other  payments  to be made  by  Tenant  to
                           Landlord  pursuant  to this  Lease  shall  be paid in
                           lawful  money of the United  States of  America  and,
                           except as otherwise  provided in this Lease,  without

                           independent  of each and  every  other  covenant  and
                           agreement   contained   in  this  Lease,   except  as
                           otherwise  provided  in this  Lease  to the  contrary
                           including (but not limited to) provisions relating to
                           Tenant's  right to an  abatement  of,  or  setoff  or
                           reduction against, any such items of rent.

                  3.1.4    In the event that any monthly  installment  of Annual
                           Rent is not paid within  fifteen  (15) days after the
                           date due,  then,  in addition to any other  rights or
                           remedies available to Landlord, interest shall accrue
                           on such overdue  payment at a rate per annum equal to
                           the  lesser  of (a)  the  maximum  rate  of  interest
                           permitted  by law or (b) two  percent  (2%) above the

                           Journal "Money Rates Column" from the date originally
                           due to the date of payment of the same.

                  3.2      Certain Adjustments to the Annual Rent.

                           (a)     Schedule   3.2(a)   sets   forth   Landlord's
estimated amount as of the day immediately  preceding the  Commencement  Date of
unpaid,  accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,  sick and  personal  leave pay,
accrued bonuses, payroll taxes and workers' compensation insurance premiums with
respect thereto for each of Landlord's employees.  Said Schedule 3.2(a) shall be
updated to the extent  necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement
Date.  Landlord  will  terminate  all such  employees as of the day  immediately
preceding  the  Commencement  Date.  Tenant  shall have the  right,  but not the

Landlord  will pay any and all  unpaid,  accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,
sick, and personal leave pay, accrued bonuses,  and all applicable payroll taxes
and workers' compensation  insurance premiums accrued and earned and not paid as
of the  Commencement  Date for such  employees  not  hired  by,  or who  decline
employment with, Tenant,  and Tenant shall have no liability  whatsoever for any
such pay,  bonus,  taxes,  premiums or other  compensation  unpaid,  accrued and
earned by such employees.  Tenant shall assume as of the  Commencement  Date the
liability for any and all unpaid, accrued and earned holiday, vacation, sick and
personal  leave pay,  accrued  bonuses,  and all  applicable  payroll  taxes and
workers'  compensation  insurance premiums accrued and earned and not paid as of
the  Commencement  Date for such  employees  hired by Tenant,  and the aggregate
amount of such pay,  bonuses,  taxes,  premiums and other  compensation  unpaid,
accrued and earned by such hired  employees  shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant
on the Commencement Date.

                           (b)      Schedule   3.2(b)   sets  forth   Landlord's
estimated  amount of any prepaid goods or services to be supplied or rendered by
the operator of the Facility subsequent to the Commencement Date (e.g., resident
advance payments), and such prepayments to the extent allocable to the period on
or after the  Commencement  Date  ("Prepayments")  shall be paid by  Landlord to
Tenant on the  Commencement  Date or, at  Landlord's  option,  shall  reduce the
amount  of the  first,  and to the  extent  necessary,  all  succeeding  monthly
installments of Annual Rent payable by Tenant,  until the  Prepayments  shall be
fully applied in lieu of such payment of such

Prepayments by Landlord to Tenant on the Commencement Date. Said Schedule 3.2(b)
shall be updated  to the extent  necessary  on and as of the day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                  3.3 Transfer Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the Commencement Date,
the  following   adjustments  and  prorations   shall  be  computed  as  of  the
Commencement  Date with respect to the following taxes (unless  otherwise stated
herein)  and the initial  monthly  installments  of Annual Rent  payable for the
first  Lease Year shall be  adjusted,  upward or  downward  as  appropriate,  to
reflect such prorations:

                           (a)      Transfer  Taxes.  All state  and local  real
estate  transfer taxes and fees payable in connection  with this Lease or any of
the transaction documents (including,  without limitation, the short form lease)
relating hereto or the recording thereof shall be borne by Landlord.

                           (b)      Real Estate Taxes,  etc. Real property taxes
and all other ad valorem  public or  governmental  charges  against  the Demised
Premises  (including  charges  for sewer,  water,  drainage  or other  services)
assessed  for a period in which the  Commencement  Date occurs shall be adjusted
and  apportioned as of the  Commencement  Date and paid  thereafter by Tenant in
accordance with Article V hereof.

                           (c)      Personal  Property Taxes.  Personal property
taxes attributable to the value of the Personal Property and, if applicable,  to
the extent  taxable,  the Other Assets for the period in which the  Commencement
Date occurs shall be adjusted and  apportioned as of the  Commencement  Date and
paid thereafter by Tenant in accordance with Article V hereof.

                           (d)      Licenses,  Service  Contracts  and  Personal
Property  Leases.  All  prepayments  made or payments  due under any  continuing
Licenses (as defined in Section  13.9),  Contracts (as defined in Section 13.6),
and Personal Property Leases (as defined in Section 13.26) affecting the Demised
Premises  or Other  Assets,  including,  without  limitation,  parking,  garbage
removal,  laundry and maintenance agreements,  shall be adjusted and apportioned
as of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall assume all such obligations under such
continuing  Licenses,  Contracts and Personal  Property  Leases which arise (and
relate  to the  period)  on and  after the  Commencement  Date.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Lease,  Landlord shall terminate any
and all service contracts,  leases and/or other agreements  affecting or related
to the Demised  Premises  which are with any person or entity that is affiliated
with  Landlord,  including  without  limitation,  any and all  Contracts  and/or
Personal  Property  Leases  other than those  designated  by Tenant  pursuant to
Article XX hereof  and Tenant  shall have no  obligations  or  liabilities  with
respect thereto.

                           (e)      Utilities.  All prepayments made or payments
due with respect to utilities servicing the Demised Premises, including, without
limitation, water, sewer, electric, gas and utility bills, shall be adjusted and
apportioned as of the Commencement Date.  Landlord shall use its best efforts to
have  all  utility  meters  read on the  Commencement  Date so as to  accurately
determine the proration of current utility bills.

                  3.4 Other  Prorations.  All other charges and fees customarily
prorated and adjusted in similar transactions in the locale in which the Demised
Premises  are  situated  shall  be  prorated  as of  the  Commencement  Date  in
accordance with such custom. However,  nothing contained herein shall operate to
subject  Tenant to any  liability  of  Landlord,  and Tenant does not assume any
liability of Landlord, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the  Commencement  Date because current bills or statements
are not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills),  the parties shall prorate
such items upon receipt of the final bill or statement.


                                   ARTICLE IV
                              TITLE AND POSSESSION
                              --------------------

                  4.1 Title and Authority.  Landlord  represents and warrants to
Tenant that Landlord owns the fee simple title to the Land, Leased Improvements,
Related Rights and Fixtures and Landlord owns  marketable  title to the Personal
Property  and Other  Assets,  free and clear of all Liens (as defined in Section
13.10) other than as set forth on Schedules 13.10(a),  13.10(b) and 13.11(a) and
other than as  described  in Section  13.11(b),  and  Landlord has the right and
complete  authority to enter into this Lease on the terms and conditions and for
the use and purposes herein stated. Said Schedules 13.10(a),  13.10(b), 13.11(a)
and 13.11(b) shall each be updated to the extent  necessary on and as of the day
preceding the Commencement Date.

                  4.2 Leased Equipment.  As of the Commencement  Date,  Landlord
shall   furnish  the   Facility   with  the   Personal   Property  and  Fixtures
(collectively,  the "Leased Equipment"),  including,  without limitation,  those
items of the  Personal  Property  and  Fixtures  set forth on  Exhibit B hereto.
Landlord  shall have no  obligation  to  furnish  the  Facility  with any Leased
Equipment after the  Commencement  Date. The Leased  Equipment shall include all
the  personal  property,  fixtures,  equipment  and  furnishings  located at the
Demised  Premises  on the  date of this  Lease  and all the  personal  property,
fixtures,  equipment and furnishings necessary and appropriate for the continued
current operation of the Facility (in the same manner and scope as its operation
on the date of this Lease) by Tenant,  as of the Commencement  Date; all of such
Leased  Equipment being leased to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. No
additional rent, beyond Annual Rent provided for in Article III hereof, shall be
paid by Tenant for the Leased Equipment.


                  4.3 Surrender of Possession.  At the end of the Lease Term, or
upon the  earlier  termination  of this  Lease,  Tenant,  at its  sole  cost and
expense,  shall  surrender  the  Demised  Premises  to Landlord in the same good
condition and state of repair as they were in at the Commencement Date, ordinary
wear and tear and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, damage by fire or
other casualty excepted,  and shall convey and transfer to Landlord such portion
of the Other  Assets as shall not have been used,  depleted  or  consumed in the
ordinary  course of the  operation of the Facility  and,  subject to Section 8.2
hereof,  shall  also  convey and  transfer  to  Landlord  any  replacements  and
accessories  thereto acquired by Tenant during the Lease Term, to the extent the
same continue in existence at the end of the Lease Term, as well as sufficient


                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>



Inventory  necessary  for the operation of the Facility for a period of ten (10)
business days following the end of the Lease Term or such earlier termination of
this Lease.

                  4.4  Holding  Over.  If Tenant  remains in  possession  of the
Demised  Premises  after the  expiration of the Lease Term,  except as otherwise
provided in the Option Agreement (as hereinafter defined), such possession shall
be as a tenant at sufferance. During such occupancy, rent shall be payable equal
to 150% times the monthly amount of Annual Rent payable during the last month of
the Lease  Term,  and the  provisions  of this  Lease  shall be  applicable  and
continue in full force and effect.  However,  Landlord's  acceptance of any rent
payments  and the terms of this  Section 4.4 shall not  constitute  a renewal of
this  Lease  or give  Tenant  any  right to  continue  to  occupy  the Land on a
month-to-month basis or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if Tenant is
unable to surrender the Demised  Premises  because  Landlord  fails to provide a
qualified and duly licensed operator (a "Proper  Successor") for the Facility at
the end of the  Lease  Term to take over the  operation  and  management  of the
Facility,  Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, remain in
possession  of the Demised  Premises and continue to operate and manage the same
if Tenant would be legally prohibited from abandoning the Demised Premises or in
Tenant's judgment, abandoning the Demised Premises without a Proper Successor in
place to continue the  operations of the Facility  would  jeopardize its (or its
affiliates') reputation as a provider of residential congregant,  nursing and/or
assisted living facility care or could otherwise  subject it (or its affiliates)
to liability.  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord
as gross rent during such occupancy 90% the Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the
last Lease Year of the Lease Term and (b)  surrender  possession  of the Demised
Premises within ten (10) days after Landlord provides a Proper Successor to take
over the operation and management of the Facility.

                        TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES
                        --------------------------------

                  5.1 Real Estate Taxes.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,
shall pay when due all ad valorem general real estate taxes, betterment or other
assessments and transit taxes  (collectively,  "Impositions") which are assessed
against,  levied,  imposed  upon,  become a lien or become due and payable  with
respect to or upon the Demised Premises,  and no other property, and which first
become  due and  payable,  or any  installments  thereof  which  become  due and
payable,  on and after the Commencement  Date and during the Lease Term.  Tenant
shall provide  Landlord with copies of all receipts  received in connection with
the  payment  of such  taxes and  assessments  within  twenty  (20)  days  after
Landlord's  request  prior to the date  interest or  penalties on such taxes and
assessments would be imposed.  Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense  and in good  faith,  to  contest  the  amount or  validity  of any such
Imposition payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease,  provided,  however,
that if at any time payment of any such  Imposition  shall  become  necessary to
prevent the tax sale of the Demised  Premises or any portion  thereof because of
nonpayment,  then Tenant shall pay the same in  sufficient  time to prevent such
sale. Landlord shall join, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in any proceedings
referred to above,  and hereby  agrees that the same may be brought in its name,
if the  provisions of any law, rule or  regulations at the time, in effect shall
require that such proceedings be brought by and/or in the

name of Landlord or any owner of the Demised Premises.  Tenant shall be entitled
to any  refund  of any  Impositions,  and all  penalties  or  interest  thereon,
received by Landlord  which shall have been paid by Tenant,  or which shall have
been paid by Landlord but previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Provided that
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  Landlord shall not,
without Tenant's prior approval, make or agree to any settlement,  compromise or
other  disposition  of any such  proceedings or discontinue or withdraw any such
proceedings  or accept  any  refund  or other  adjustment  of or credit  for any
Imposition as a result of any such proceedings.  Landlord hereby appoints Tenant
the  attorney-in-fact  of Landlord  for the purpose of making all payments to be
made by Tenant  pursuant  to any of the  provisions  of this Lease to persons or
entities other than Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this  Lease,  if, by not later than  thirty (30) days prior to the final date
for contesting  the validity or amount of any real estate taxes and  assessments
with  respect to the last Lease Year of the Lease  Term,  Tenant  shall not have
advised Landlord that Tenant intends to conduct such contest, Landlord will have
the right (but not the obligation) to contest the validity and/or amount of such
Impositions  for the last Lease Year of the Lease Term  without  the  consent of
Tenant, but at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

                  5.1.1    If at any time  during the Lease Term the  methods of
                           taxation   of    Impositions    prevailing   at   the
                           commencement  of the  Initial  Term  hereof  shall be
                           altered so that in lieu of, or as a supplement to, or
                           a  substitute  for,  the  whole  or any  part  of the
                           Impositions  then levied,  assessed or imposed on the
                           Demised  Premises,  any of the  following are levied,
                           assessed or imposed:

                           (a)      a  tax,  assessment,   levy,  imposition  or
charge,  wholly  or  partially  as a  capital  levy or  otherwise,  on the rents
received therefrom; or

                           (b)      a tax,  assessment,  levy (including but not
limited to any municipal,  state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part  upon the  Demised  Premises  and  imposed  upon
Landlord; or

                           (c)      a license fee  measured by the rent  payable
under this Lease;

then,  in such event,  all such taxes,  assessments,  levies,  impositions,  and
charges,  or the part  thereof  so  measured  or  based,  shall be  deemed to be
included in the  Impositions  payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.1, to
the extent that such taxes, assessments,  levies,  impositions and charges would
be payable if the Demised  Premises were the only  property of Landlord  subject
thereto,  and Tenant  shall pay and  discharge  the same as herein  provided  in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

                  5.1.2    Impositions  shall not  include  any  income,  excess
                           profit, estate,  inheritance,  succession,  transfer,
                           franchise,  capital or other tax or  assessment  upon
                           Landlord  or  (unless  in  substitution,   as  herein
                           provided) upon the rentals  payable under this Lease,
                           all  of  which  shall  be  the  sole   obligation  of
                           Landlord.  The  real  estate  taxes  on  the  Demised
                           Premises  during any year shall mean such  amounts as
                           shall be finally determined, after deducting

                           the  Impositions  payable with respect to the Demised
                           Premises during said year.

                  5.1.3    Any  Impositions  which  become  due for the  year in
                           which  possession  is given to  Tenant  but which are
                           payable  with  respect  to  a  period  prior  to  the
                           Commencement  Date shall be prorated for the calendar
                           year  between  Landlord  and  Tenant as  provided  in
                           Section  3.3  hereof  and such  proration  shall also
                           occur at the end of the Lease  Term for the  calendar
                           year of termination.

                  5.1.4    If Landlord  shall have the right to elect the period
                           over  which any  Impositions  are  payable,  Landlord
                           agrees to elect  and  Tenant  may make such  payments
                           over the longest period of time available.

                  5.2 Personal  Property  Taxes.  Beginning on the  Commencement
Date,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all  personal
property taxes and assessments (if any) assessed against,  levied, imposed upon,
or which would  become a lien or become due and payable with respect to, or upon
any of Tenant's tangible or intangible personal property or the Leased Equipment
or the Other Assets,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with
copies of all receipts received in connection with the payment of such taxes and
assessments  not less than ten (10) days prior to the date interest or penalties
on such taxes and assessments would be imposed.  Any personal property taxes and
assessments which become due for the year in which possession is given to Tenant
but which are payable with respect to a period  prior to the  Commencement  Date
shall be prorated for the calendar year between  Landlord and Tenant as provided
in  Section  3.3 hereof  and such  proration  shall also occur at the end of the
Lease Term for the calendar year of termination.

                  5.3  Sewer  Use  Fees.  Beginning  on the  Commencement  Date,
Tenant,  at its sole  cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all sewer use fees,

copies of all  receipts  received in  connection  with the payment of such fees,
rents,  charges  and  deposits  not less  than ten (10)  days  prior to the date
interest or penalties on such fees or deposits would be imposed.

its sole cost and expense, shall obtain in its name and pay when due all charges

this Lease all or any part of the Demised Premises is acquired on a permanent or
temporary basis by any federal,  state or local governmental agency, by means of
condemnation or threat of condemnation, or by reason of mutual agreement between
Landlord, Tenant, and said governmental agency, this Article VII shall control.

                  7.2  Compensation.  All  compensation  awarded  for any taking
(including,  but not limited to, loss of  leasehold)  shall belong to and be the
property of Landlord;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be entitled to any
portion of the award made to Tenant for its loss of business, depreciation to or
for the cost of removal of stock,  fixtures,  equipment  (other  than the Leased
Equipment) or signs,  moving expenses,  relocation costs or any other allowances
to which Tenant may be legally entitled. This Lease shall not preclude the right
of Tenant to pursue an independent  action for damages against any  governmental
agency for said taking,  provided,  however that in no event shall any resulting
award to  Tenant  reduce  the  amount  of the  award to  which  Landlord  may be
entitled. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages.

                  7.3 Effect on this  Lease of  Permanent  Taking.  In the event
that the whole of the Demised Premises is taken permanently by any method,  then
this Lease shall terminate as of the date title to the Demised Premises vests in
the  governmental  agency.  Such date of vesting shall operate as though it were
the date  originally  intended by the parties for  expiration  of this Lease and
Tenant  shall  pay  Annual  Rent  and  Landlord   shall  refund  to  Tenant  any
overpayments of Annual Rent or other charges within five (5) days after the date
of such  vesting  and all  other  obligations  hereunder  accrued  (prorated  as
appropriate) to the date of such vesting.

                  In  the  event  a   substantial   and  material   portion  (as
hereinafter defined) of the Demised Premises are taken permanently,  then Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord at least ninety
(90) days' written  notice.  If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease or
if less than a  substantial  and  material  portion of the Demised  Premises are
taken,  then  this  Lease  shall  terminate  only as to the part of the  Demised
Premises  taken and Annual Rent shall be reduced for the  remainder of the Lease
Term by a just, fair and equitable  proportion of Annual Rent payable  according
to the size, nature and extent of the property that is taken. Any adjustments or
reductions  in Annual Rent,  as  contemplated  by this  Section  shall take into
account  the  practical  and  economic  effect of the taking in  question on the
operation of the Demised Premises.  In the event that a substantial and material
part of the Demised  Premises is  temporarily  taken in excess of three  hundred
sixty-five (365)  consecutive days, then such taking shall be deemed a permanent
taking for  purposes  of this  Lease.  It shall be  presumed  that the taking is
"substantial  and  material"  if  (a)  the  Kansas   Department  of  Health  and
Environment


                                     - 12 -

permanently  closes the Demised  Premises whether in whole or in part because of
such taking for use as a nursing care and/or assisted living facility, or (b) if
in Tenant's reasonable business judgment the portion of the Demised Premises not
so taken is  inadequate  to continue to operate the  Facility in a  commercially
profitable manner as a nursing care and/or assisted living facility, as the case
may be according to the then actual use by Tenant.

                  In the event that the Demised  Premises  become  landlocked by
such taking for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive  days and reasonable
alternative   access  cannot  be  provided  within  five  (5)  days  after  such
occurrence,  then Annual Rent shall abate until access or reasonable alternative
access is  provided  to the Demised  Premises;  provided  that if such access or
reasonable  alternative  access cannot be provided within thirty (30) days after
such  occurrence,  then Tenant shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease by
written  notice to Landlord,  which shall  terminate  this Lease sixty (60) days
after such notice.

                  7.4 Effect on this  Lease of  Temporary  Taking.  In the event
that all or part of the Demised  Premises are taken for a temporary use,  Annual
Rent shall be reduced and abated by a just,  fair and  equitable  proportion  of
Annual Rent  payable  according  to the size,  nature and extent of the property
that is taken.  Any adjustments or reductions in Annual Rent, as contemplated by
this Section shall take into account the  practical  and economic  effect of the
taking in  question  on the  operation  of the Demised  Premises.  Tenant  shall
continue to perform all other  conditions  of this Lease as though the taking or
condemnation  had not  occurred,  except  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall be
prevented from doing so by reason of the taking or  condemnation  and except for
the  abatement of Annual Rent as provided  herein.  Neither  party to this Lease
shall have any right to terminate this Lease by reason of a temporary  taking of
all or part of the Demised Premises, except as stated in Section 7.3 above.

                  7.5 Restoration. If any building or improvement on the Demised
Premises or any replacement  thereof shall be damaged or partially  destroyed by
any such  taking of less than all or  substantially  all  thereof and this Lease
shall not be terminated by reason  thereof,  Tenant shall be entitled to receive
such  portion  of any  award  to  which  Landlord  may be  entitled,  as will be
sufficient to pay for the costs of restoring and rebuilding such building(s) and
improvement(s)  and within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of such sum,
Tenant  shall  proceed  with  reasonable  diligence  to  conduct  any  necessary
demolition  and to  repair,  replace  or  rebuild,  any  remaining  part of said
building(s) and  improvement(s),  or of any replacement thereof not so taken, so
as to constitute  such  remaining part thereof a complete,  useable  building in
substantially  the same condition and repair as the building(s) and improvements
were in prior to any such  taking;  and Tenant  shall  hold that  portion of any
award received by Tenant  pursuant to this Section in trust to apply the same to
the cost and expense of such demolition, repairing, replacing and rebuilding. If
the cost of any work  necessary  to repair,  replace or rebuild  (including  any
necessary  demolition  work) any damage to or destruction of the building(s) and
improvement(s) or any replacement or replacements  thereof shall equal or exceed
an aggregate cost of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars,  the same shall be
conducted under the  supervision of an architect or engineer  selected by Tenant
and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees shall not be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  Whenever  pursuant to this Section Tenant is
entitled to receive the proceeds of an award in excess of $100,000 in amount for
the


                                     - 13 -

purpose of applying the same to the cost of demolishing, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding, such proceeds shall be paid to the Insurance Trustee provided for in
Article XV, to be disposed of by such Insurance  Trustee in the manner  provided
in Article XII.

                           including  without  limitation,  in this Article VIII
                           and  in  Articles  VII  and  XII,   Tenant  shall  be
                           responsible for the performance, at its sole cost and
                           expense,  of  all  necessary  repairs,  replacements,
                           alterations and improvements, whether or not in order
                           to comply with all applicable  laws,  regulations and
                           municipal  ordinances,  (collectively,  "Repairs") to
                           the  Demised  Premises.  This  obligation  to perform
                           Repairs shall include,  at its sole cost and expense,
                           inspecting,   keeping,  maintaining,   repairing  and
                           replacing  the  interior,  exterior,  structural  and

                           components on the Demised  Premises so as to keep the
                           improvements    and    interior     decorations    in
                           substantially  the same  condition as they were in on
                           the  Commencement  Date,  subject to depreciation and
                           ordinary wear and tear, and in a safe condition, free
                           from  dirt,  water,  snow,  ice,  refuse,  trash  and
                           obstruction  and  shall  also  include,  but  not  be
                           limited  to,  signs,  glass,  landscaping,   any  air
                           conditioning,   heating,   electrical,   ventilating,
                           parking areas and driveways,  plumbing systems, roof,
                           walls  and  all  interior   and  exterior   cleaning,

                           Demised Premises.  Tenant shall not voluntarily alter
                           any  structural  part of the Leased  Improvements  or
                           demolish, remove, or materially and permanently alter
                           any permanent  improvement  in or on the Land or make
                           permanent additions thereto the cost of which, in the
                           case of any single  alteration  or addition,  exceeds
                           $50,000  or, in the case of all such  alterations  or
                           additions in any Lease Year, exceeds in the aggregate
                           $250,000,   without  the  prior  written  consent  of
                           Landlord,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
                           withheld  or   delayed;   provided,   however,   that
                           Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect
                           to any such  Repairs  which are  required in order to
                           comply with applicable laws, regulations or municipal
                           ordinances  or in the  case  of an  emergency  or any
                           other  situation  where bodily harm is  threatened or
                           Tenant is exposed to  liability  if such  Repairs are
                           not made.  In addition,  Tenant may perform any other
                           non-structural   alterations  and  additions  to  the
                           Demised Premises without  Landlord's  consent so long
                           as   Tenant   gives   a  copy   of  the   plans   and
                           specifications,  if any, to Landlord  within ten (10)
                           days  prior  to  making   such   alterations   and/or
                           additions;    provided    further    that    cosmetic
                           modifications  and decorations that are substantially
                           consistent with the quality of the original materials
                           and


                                     - 14 -

                           decorations  that  were used in the  Facility  may be
                           made by Tenant without any notification to Landlord.

                  8.1.1.1 The dollar amounts set forth in this  paragraph  8.1.1
shall be  adjusted  and  increased  each  Lease  Year by an amount  equal to the
product resulting from multiplying each of said dollar amounts by a fraction the
numerator of which is the Price Index  published for the first calendar month of
the Lease  Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is being  made,  and the
denominator of which is the Base Price Index.

                  8.1.1.2           As used in this  Lease the  following  terms
shall have the following respective meanings:

                                    (i)     "Price   Index"   shall   mean   the
"Revised  Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the CPI-U)  published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, for All
Cities area, All Items, (1982-84=100)"; and

                                    (ii)    "Base  Price  Index"  shall mean the
Price Index  published  for the calendar  month in which the  Commencement  Date
occurs or if not published for such month,  then the closest preceding month for
which a Price Index is available.

                  8.1.1.3  In the event  the  Price  Index  shall  hereafter  be
converted  to a different  standard  reference  base or otherwise  revised,  the
determination  of the adjusted  dollar amounts  hereunder shall be made with the
use of such conversion  factor,  formula or table for converting the Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or Prentice Hall, Inc. or
any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information. If
at any time during the Lease Term the Price  Index shall no longer be  published
by said  Bureau,  then any  comparable  index  issued by said  Bureau or similar
agency  of the  United  States  issuing  similar  indices  shall be used for the
purposes of making the  adjustments  under  Article  III and under this  Article
VIII, the same, however, to be appropriately adjusted in order to give effect to
the intent of the foregoing provisions of this Lease. In the event that the U.S.
Department  of  Labor,  Bureau  of Labor  Statistics,  changes  the  publication
frequency  of the Price Index so that a Price Index is not  available  to make a
cost-of-living adjustment as herein provided in Article III or this Article VIII
for the month  specified,  the  cost-of-living  adjustment to be made thereunder
shall be based on the  percentage  difference  between  the Price  Index for the
closest  preceding month for which a Price Index is available and the Base Price
Index.


                  8.1.2    Tenant shall keep the Demised  Premises free from any
                           mechanic's,   materialman's,  or  similar  liens  and
                           encumbrances  and any claims  therefor in  connection
                           with any  Repairs  and Tenant  shall  remove any such
                           lien or  encumbrance,  by bond or  otherwise,  within
                           thirty (30) days after  notice  from  Landlord of the
                           same. If Tenant fails to do so,  Landlord may pay the
                           amount  of such  claim or take such  other  action as
                           Landlord  deems  reasonably  necessary to remove such
                           claim,  lien, or encumbrance after  investigating the
                           validity  thereof.  The  amount  so  paid  and  costs
                           incurred by Landlord shall be deemed  additional rent
                           under this Lease, payable on

                           demand, when accompanied by detailed  information and
                           invoices regarding such amount. Nothing in this Lease
                           shall be deemed a consent by  Landlord  to the filing
                           of any lien on  Landlord's  interest  in the  Demised
                           Premises  and any such liens shall  attach  solely to
                           Tenant's  interest in the Demised  Premises and shall
                           in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's interest
                           in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not do anything
                           or  permit  anything  to be  done  upon  the  Demised
                           Premises which will  materially and adversely  affect
                           the safety or security of the Demised Premises, which
                           will increase the rate of fire or casualty  insurance
                           upon the building or its contents, without Landlord's
                           written   consent,   which   consent   shall  not  be
                           unreasonably withheld or delayed, or which will cause
                           structural  damage  to the  Demised  Premises  or any
                           Leased Improvements.  Except for trade fixtures,  any
                           improvements  made  to  the  Demised  Premises  shall
                           become the property of Landlord,  free of charge,  if
                           affixed to the realty.

                  8.1.3    Tenant's  obligation  to perform  Repairs  shall also
                           include without limitation the repair and maintenance
                           of Leased  Equipment and the replacement from time to
                           time  of  obsolete,   damaged  or  unsightly   Leased
                           Equipment,  so as to keep the same in good  operating
                           condition  consistent with a nursing care or assisted
                           living  facility,  whichever is being operated at the
                           Demised   Premises   at   the   time   in   question.
                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  any Leased  Equipment which is leased or
                           the subject of a conditional sales agreement or other
                           finance   arrangement  at  the  commencement  of  the
                           Initial  Term and any  replacement(s)  of such Leased
                           Equipment  may be  encumbered  similarly  during  the
                           Lease Term.

                  8.1.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if  Tenant  is  required  to  make  any
                           expenditures  for Repairs (whether or not in order to
                           comply  with all  applicable  laws,  regulations  and
                           municipal  ordinances) to the Demised Premises during
                           the last two Lease Years of the Lease Term (excluding
                           Repairs  that are  required to be made as a result of
                           Tenant's,   or  Tenant's   agents',   employees'   or
                           contractors' negligence or wilful misconduct),  which
                           expenditures    according   to   generally   accepted
                           accounting  principles ("GAAP") should be capitalized
                           (such  expenditures  being  hereinafter  collectively
                           called  "Capital   Expenditures")  and  if  any  such
                           Capital  Expenditure  is a Major Capital  Expenditure
                           (as  hereinafter  defined),   Tenant  shall  send  to
                           Landlord a notice of such circumstance,  which notice
                           shall specify the nature of the repair,  replacement,
                           alteration or improvement for which the Major Capital
                           Expenditure is being incurred  (hereinafter  called a
                           "Capital Improvement") and the estimated cost of such
                           Capital  Improvement.  Tenant shall only be obligated
                           to pay that portion ("Tenant's Share") of the cost of
                           such  Capital   Improvement  as  shall  be  equitably
                           apportioned  to  it  taking  into  consideration  the
                           reasonable  useful life  (according  to GAAP) of such
                           Capital  Improvement and the unexpired Lease Term and
                           the cost of such  Capital  Improvement  in  excess of
                           Tenant's

                           Share  (such  excess  cost being  hereinafter  called
                           "Landlord's  Share")  shall  be  borne  by  Landlord.
                           Tenant  shall only be  obligated  to make the Capital
                           Improvement  if,  within ten (10) business days after
                           Landlord  receives Tenant's  above-described  notice,
                           Tenant and  Landlord  agree on the  determination  of
                           Tenant's  Share and  Landlord's  Share of such  Major
                           Capital  Expenditure and the manner in which Landlord
                           will pay and/or reimburse Landlord's Share to Tenant.
                           If the parties  cannot agree on an equitable  sharing
                           of any such Major Capital  Expenditure  or the manner
                           of payment and/or reimbursement,  Tenant may (i) seek
                           to  have  the  matter   resolved  by  arbitration  as
                           elsewhere provided in this Lease prior to undertaking
                           to perform any such Capital Improvement, (ii) perform
                           any such Capital  Improvement and during and/or after
                           the  performance  thereof  seek  to have  the  matter
                           resolved by arbitration as elsewhere provided in this
                           Lease, in which case  immediately  upon resolution of
                           such  matter  Landlord  shall  pay to  Tenant  and/or
                           reimburse  Tenant  for  Landlord's  Share of the cost
                           thereof,  or (iii) terminate this Lease upon not less
                           than  thirty  (30)  days  prior  written   notice  to
                           Landlord.   In  the  event  that   after   allocating
                           Landlord's and Tenant's respective Shares of the cost
                           of a Capital Improvement,  Tenant exercises a renewal
                           option,  Tenant  shall  reimburse  Landlord  for  the
                           unamortized  amount of  Landlord's  Share of any such
                           cost  theretofore  paid  by  Landlord  with  interest
                           thereon  at the rate per annum  set forth in  Article
                           III hereof.

                  As used  herein,  a  "Major  Capital  Expenditure"  means  any
Capital Expenditure which is required to be made during the last two Lease Years
of the Lease Term and which exceeds $25,000  individually,  or which, when added
to all other  Capital  Expenditures  theretofore  incurred by Tenant during such
period, exceeds $100,000.

                  8.1.5    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  Tenant shall not be obligated to make or
                           to pay for any Repairs  that are required as a result
                           of the  negligence or wilful  misconduct of Landlord,
                           or any of its or its affiliates' (which shall include
                           an affiliate  of The  Homestead  Company,  L.C. or of
                           Jack West),  employees,  agents or  contractors or as
                           provided in paragraph 8.1.6 below.

                  8.1.6    Landlord  agrees  that if at any  time or  times  any
                           governmental  authorities or insurance rating bureaus
                           having  jurisdiction  shall complain that the Demised
                           Premises,   or  any   portion   thereof,   were   not
                           constructed in compliance with any law,  ordinance or
                           regulation of any governmental authority or insurance
                           rating bureau having  jurisdiction  and shall request
                           compliance,  then  Landlord  shall,  upon  receipt of
                           notice  of  such   complaint,   cause  such  repairs,
                           alterations  or other  work to be done so as to bring
                           about the compliance requested.

                  8.2  Quality  and  Promptness  of  Repairs  and  Replacements;
Ownership of Replacements and Warranties.  All repairs and replacements  made by
Tenant shall be made when  reasonably  necessary and within a reasonably  prompt
period of time;  shall be with new or  like-new  materials  of at least equal or
better  value,  utility  and  condition  to that  which  the  same was in at the
commencement  of the  Initial  Term,  taking into  consideration  the quality of
materials and  workmanship of the same, and shall be done in compliance with all
applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and statutes of the city,
county, state and federal governments.


                  Any such  replaced  Leased  Equipment  shall be and remain the
property of Landlord; provided, however, that if any item of Leased Equipment is
replaced by Tenant  during the Lease Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense with
an upgraded item of Leased Equipment,  then Tenant shall have the right prior to
the end of the Lease Term to either  remove such  upgraded  item and replace the
same with a like item of Leased Equipment of equal or better quality, design and
function as existed on the Commencement Date.

                  Landlord agrees that it will give to Tenant the benefit of all
warranties and  guarantees  they may have received or be entitled to from any of
their  contractors or materialmen  with respect to the Demised Premises and that
Tenant may enforce the same either in Tenant's name or in Landlord's name.

                  8.3  Liability  of  Landlord.  Except if caused by  Landlord's
breach of this Lease or by the  negligence or willful  misconduct of Landlord or
of any of its  affiliates'  (which shall  include an affiliate of The  Homestead
Company, L.C. or of Jack West), employees,  agents or contractors,  all property
belonging  to Tenant or any occupant of the Demised  Premises  shall be there at
the risk of Tenant or such other occupant only, and Landlord shall not be liable
for theft or  misappropriation  thereof,  or loss or damage to any such property
due to vandalism,  water,  rain, snow,  frost,  fire,  storm or accident,  or by
breakage, stoppage or leakage of water, gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,
upon, about or adjacent to the Demised Premises or by any other cause.

                  8.4 Removal of Personal Property. Provided that Tenant has not
accepted an offer to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to
the  Right of First  Refusal  Agreement,  dated of even date  herewith,  between
Landlord and Tenant (the "Right of First  Refusal"),  or has not  exercised  its
option to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to a separate
Purchase Option Agreement by and among the parties hereto, executed of even date
herewith (the "Option  Agreement"),  upon the  expiration or termination of this
Lease,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall  remove  from the Demised
Premises all of Tenant's personal  property and equipment.  If any disfigurement
or damage  results  from such  removal,  repairs  shall be made by Tenant at its
expense to restore the Demised Premises to its original condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.

                  If upon  surrender  to Landlord of  possession  of the Demised
Premises,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  does not within ten (10) days
after  Landlord's  demand  remove  Tenant's  personal  property  and  equipment,
Landlord, at Landlord's election, shall have the right to treat

Tenant's  property as having been  abandoned  by Tenant to Landlord  without any
payment or offset.

                                      SIGNS
                                      -----

         Tenant  shall have the right to place upon the  Demised  Premises  such
sign or signs as it may desire,  at Tenant's  sole cost and  expense.  All signs
shall  comply with all  applicable  federal,  state and local  statutes,  rules,
regulations and ordinances.  Tenant shall maintain such signs in a good state of
repair  and shall  repair  any  damage  to the  Demised  Premises  caused by the
erection, maintenance or removal at the termination of this Lease of such signs.
Upon the  termination  of this  Lease,  all signs of Tenant  shall be removed in
accordance with Section 8.4.


                                    ARTICLE X
                    ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBORDINATION
                    ----------------------------------------

                  10.1 Assignment or Subletting by Tenant. Except as hereinafter
provided,  Tenant shall not assign,  transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest  herein,  or sublet the Demised  Premises or any part
thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other
than Tenant and its agents,  managers,  concessionaires,  licensees,  employees,
residents,  patients and medical staff to occupy or use the Demises  Premises or
any part thereof without  Landlord's prior written consent,  which consent shall
not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Landlord's  consent  shall not be required  for, and this Section 10.1 shall not
prohibit,  (i) an assignment to a corporate  parent,  affiliate or subsidiary of
Tenant,  or any  joint  venture,  partnership  or other  entity,  provided  such
assignee  is  either  Integrated  Living   Communities,   Inc.  ("ILCI")  or  is
"controlled"  directly or indirectly by ILCI (the term  "control" as used herein
shall be deemed to mean  ownership  of at least  50% of the  outstanding  voting
stock of a corporation,  or other majority  equity and voting  interest if not a
corporation);  (ii) an  assignment  in  connection  with the sale of ten percent
(10%) or more of ILCI's  assets and (iii) an  assignment  in  connection  with a
merger or  consolidation.  Any  unauthorized  assignment  or  sublease  shall be
voidable and shall  constitute a breach of this Lease at Landlord's  option.  No
assignment  of this Lease  shall be binding on  Landlord  until (a) a  duplicate
original of such assignment, duly executed by the assignor shall be delivered to
Landlord,  and (b) the  assignee  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  an
instrument in and by which the assignee shall assume and agree to perform,  from
and after the effective date of the assignment,  all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.  At least thirty (30)
days prior to the effectiveness of any assignment as to which Landlord's consent
is required,  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a package of relevant information
concerning the assignee.  For purposes of this Lease,  any sale or transfer of a
controlling  interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.  No
assignment,  sale, transfer, pledge,  hypothecation or encumbrance shall relieve
Tenant  of any  obligation  contained  in this  Lease.  Tenant  shall pay all of
Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses (not in excess of $2,500),

including   reasonable   attorney's  fees,   incurred  in  connection  with  any
assignment, sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation,  encumbrance or sublease, for
which Landlord's consent is required.

                  10.2  Leasehold  Mortgages.  Tenant  shall have the right from
time to time to pledge,  hypothecate,  encumber  or  mortgage  this Lease  (each
herein referred to as a "leasehold mortgage").  Landlord hereby expressly agrees
that the  holder of such  leasehold  mortgage  shall be  entitled  to all of the
rights,  privileges  and powers  afforded to the holder or holders of  leasehold
mortgages under this and other Articles of this Lease.

                  10.2.1   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if so  requested  by the  holder of any
                           leasehold  mortgage,  any  notice  from  Landlord  to
                           Tenant  shall  be  simultaneously  delivered  to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  at his or its  address,  and no
                           notice of default or  termination of this Lease given
                           by  Landlord  to  Tenant  shall  be  deemed   legally
                           effective until and unless notice of such default and
                           notice of such  termination  shall have been given by
                           Landlord to such leasehold mortgagee.  Such leasehold
                           mortgagee  entitled to such notice  shall have and be
                           subrogated  to any  and all  rights  of  Tenant  with
                           respect to any default  hereunder by Tenant.  Without
                           impairing the  generality  of the foregoing  right of
                           subrogation,  it is specifically agreed that any such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall have the right to appoint
                           an arbitrator, in case Tenant shall fail to make such
                           appointment  after  written  notice from  Landlord as
                           provided  in  Article  XVI  hereof  (a copy of  which
                           notice shall have been  simultaneously  given to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee),  and, for this purpose,  shall
                           have an  additional  period of  fifteen  (15) days to
                           make  such   appointment,   and  the   arbitrator  so
                           appointed   shall  thereupon  be  recognized  in  all
                           respects  as if he  or  she  had  been  appointed  by
                           Tenant.

                  10.2.2   Landlord will not accept any surrender,  cancellation
                           or enter into any  modification of this Lease without
                           the prior  written  consent  thereto of the holder of
                           any leasehold  mortgage who shall become  entitled to
                           notice as provided above.

                  10.2.3   If, by reason of any  default by  Tenant,  this Lease
                           shall be terminated at the election of Landlord prior
                           to the stated expiration thereof, Landlord will enter
                           into a new  lease  of the  Demised  Premises  and the
                           Other Assets with such leasehold  mortgagee (i.e. the
                           holder of a mortgage  on this Lease who shall  become
                           entitled to notice, as provided above) or its nominee
                           for the  remainder  of the term  effective  as of the
                           date of such termination, at the same Annual Rent and
                           upon  the  same  terms,  provisions,   covenants  and
                           agreements herein contained, subject, however, to the
                           rights,  if any, of any parties then in possession of
                           any part of the Demised  Premises,  provided (a) said
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall make written request upon
                           Landlord  for such new lease within  forty-five  (45)
                           days  after  the  date of such  termination  and such
                           written request is accompanied by payment to Landlord
                           of all

                           sums which would then be due to  Landlord  under this
                           Lease but for the termination  thereof, the amount of
                           which  Landlord   agrees  to  advise  such  leasehold
                           mortgagee  of  in  writing  upon  request;  (b)  said
                           leasehold mortgagee pays to Landlord,  at the time of
                           the execution and delivery of said new lease, any and
                           all   sums   and   reasonable   expenses,   including
                           reasonable  attorneys'  fees, to which Landlord shall
                           have  been  subjected  or  paid  by  reason  of  such
                           default,  the  amount  of  which  sums  and  expenses
                           Landlord agrees to advise such leasehold mortgagee of
                           in  writing  upon  request,  and (c)  said  leasehold
                           mortgagee  shall, on or before execution and delivery
                           of said new lease,  perform and observe all the other
                           covenants and conditions herein contained on Tenant's
                           part  to be  performed  and  observed  but  for  such
                           termination  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall have
                           failed to  perform  and  observe  the same,  Landlord
                           hereby agreeing to advise such leasehold mortgagee in
                           writing,   upon   request,   of  the   covenants  and
                           conditions  which Tenant shall have failed to perform
                           and the extent of such failure. If during such period
                           of  forty-five  (45) days requests for such new lease
                           shall be made by more than one  leasehold  mortgagee,
                           then  provided  the  provisions  of this  Section are
                           complied with,  Landlord shall be required to execute
                           and  deliver   such  new  lease  to  that   leasehold
                           mortgagee (or the nominee thereof) lowest in order of
                           priority of lien who (i) cures all defaults under all
                           prior leasehold mortgages,  (ii) delivers to Landlord
                           certificates or letters from the holders of all prior
                           leasehold  mortgages  which  certify or state that no
                           default  then  exists  under  such  prior   leasehold
                           mortgages  and (iii)  executes and  delivers,  at the
                           time  of  the  execution  of  such  new  lease,   new
                           mortgages  to  the  holders  of all  prior  leasehold
                           mortgages  on this  Lease  having  the same terms and
                           conditions,  and securing the same  amounts,  as such
                           prior  leasehold  mortgages.  Upon the  execution and
                           delivery of such new lease,  any subleases  which may
                           have  theretofore  been assigned and  transferred  to
                           Landlord shall thereupon be assigned and transferred,
                           without recourse, by Landlord to the new tenant. Such
                           new lease shall have the same  rights and  priorities
                           as this Lease.

                  10.2.4   If Landlord  shall elect to  terminate  this Lease by
                           reason of any  default  other  than a default  in the
                           payment of money,  the then  holder of any  leasehold
                           mortgage on this Lease who shall have become entitled
                           to notice,  as  provided in this  Article,  shall not
                           only have and be  subrogated to any and all rights of
                           Tenant with respect to curing of any default and have
                           the right to  obtain a new  lease as above  provided,
                           but shall also have the right to postpone  and extend
                           the specified date for the termination of this Lease,
                           as fixed by Landlord in a notice of termination,  for
                           a period of not more than six (6) months  (subject to
                           extension as provided below), provided such leasehold
                           mortgagee shall thereafter promptly cure all defaults
                           which may be cured by the  payment  of a sum of money
                           and undertake to cure any other then existing default
                           of  Tenant  and  shall  forthwith  initiate  steps to
                           acquire   Tenant's   interest   in  this   Lease   by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage or


                                     - 21 -

                           otherwise.  Such  right  shall be  exercised  by such
                           leasehold-mortgagee's  giving  Landlord notice of the
                           exercise  of the same prior to the  termination  date
                           fixed in Landlord's notice of termination. If, before
                           the date specified for the  termination of this Lease
                           as extended by such leasehold-mortgagee, Tenant shall
                           be duly removed from possession, and if an assumption
                           of  performances  and observance of the covenants and
                           conditions  herein  contained on Tenant's  part to be
                           performed or observed  shall be delivered to Landlord
                           by the leasehold mortgagee,  or its nominee, then and
                           in such event the  default  under this Lease shall be
                           deemed cured and removed; and provided, further, that
                           if at the  end of  said  six (6)  month  period  such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall be  actively  engaged  in
                           steps to acquire Tenant's  interest herein,  the time
                           of  such  leasehold  mortgagee  to  comply  with  the
                           provisions of this Article shall be extended for such
                           additional period or periods as shall be necessary to
                           complete  such steps with  diligence,  provided  that
                           during such extension no further  default shall occur
                           hereunder.  Any  payment  to be made or  action to be
                           taken by a leasehold  mortgagee under this Article as
                           a  prerequisite  in  obtaining a new lease or keeping
                           this Lease in effect shall be deemed properly to have
                           been made or taken by a leasehold  mortgagee  if such
                           payment is made or action taken by a nominee or agent
                           of such leasehold mortgagee.

                  10.3   Subordination  and  Attornment.   Landlord   covenants,
represents and agrees that this Lease,  as the same may be modified,  amended or
renewed, shall not be subject or subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages now or
hereafter placed upon, or any other liens or encumbrances  hereafter  affecting,
the fee title of the Demised Premises except as otherwise  expressly provided in
this Section  10.3,  and that  Landlord will promptly and fully pay when due all
indebtedness,  and perform when  required all  obligations,  secured by any such
mortgages  or liens,  and  shall not  commit  or  permit  any  default  to occur
thereunder.  In the event that for any reason whatsoever  Landlord shall fail or
refuse to pay,  satisfy  and  discharge  any lien or  mortgage  encumbering  the
Demised  Premises  not later  than the date the same  becomes  due and  payable,
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  itself to pay, satisfy and
discharge the same, in which event (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive an
assignment  of such  mortgage  (and  the  note  secured  thereby)  and  promptly
thereafter to institute  foreclosure  or other  proceedings  to enforce the same
(and the note secured thereby),  it being agreed that if Tenant so acquires such
mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby)  the same  shall be  deemed  to be in
default by virtue of  Landlord's  failure to comply with the  provisions of this
Section, which provisions shall be deemed for such purpose to be an agreement of
modification  of such  mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby);  and (ii) any
amounts  expended  and  expenses  incurred by Tenant in paying,  satisfying  and
discharging  such  mortgage,   and  in  bringing  proceedings  to  foreclose  or
otherwise,  to  enforce  the same,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  to the extent not paid by Landlord to Tenant,  together  with
interest thereon at the rate per annum set forth in Section 3.1.4 hereof,  shall
be deductible by Tenant,  together with interest  thereon at the rate aforesaid,
from the  installments  of Annual Rent  thereafter  falling due  hereunder.  The
rights and  remedies  provided for in  subdivisions  (i) and (ii) above shall be
cumulative  and not  mutually  exclusive.  Tenant  agrees  that upon  request of
Landlord in writing, it will subordinate the lien of this Lease


                                     - 22 -

<PAGE>



to the  lien of any  mortgage  on the  Demised  Premises,  and to all  renewals,
modifications, amendments, consolidations,  replacements and extensions thereof,
provided  that  Tenant  shall be  granted a  subordination  non-disturbance  and
recognition  agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (a
"Subordination Agreement") from the holder(s) of such mortgage. The receipt of a
Subordination  Agreement  from the  holder(s)  of any  mortgage  on the  Demised
Premises to which this Lease is subordinate  is a condition to the  commencement
of the Lease Term. Further, Tenant, as a part of any Subordination Agreement, if
requested,  shall  agree to attorn to the  holder(s)  of such  mortgage  or to a
purchaser at foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holder(s) of such mortgage and Tenant.  Landlord may not place
any mortgage on the Demised  Premises when the aggregate  annual debt service on
such mortgage and all other  mortgages on the Demised  Premises would exceed 90%
of the Annual Rent which is then in effect or will be in effect  during the term
of such mortgage,  or when the aggregate principal debt secured by said mortgage
and all other  mortgages  on the Demised  Premises  would exceed 80% of the fair
market value of the Demised  Premises.  Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) days
prior  notice of the  closing of any loan to be  secured  by a  mortgage  on the
Demised Premises.

                  10.3.1   If Tenant shall give Landlord any notice of a default
                           or  breach  by  Landlord,  Tenant  agrees  to  give a
                           similar  written notice to the holder(s) of record of
                           any fee  mortgage(s)  (provided  Tenant has  received
                           written  notice of said  mortgage(s),  including  the
                           name(s) and address(es) of the then holder(s) of such
                           mortgage(s),  in the manner  provided  for in Article
                           XVIII hereof for the giving of notices to Tenant), by
                           registered  or  certified   mail,  to  such  holders'
                           respective  addresses specified in the aforementioned
                           notice to Tenant,  or to any different  address which
                           they may designate for the purpose by notice given to
                           Tenant in the aforesaid  manner;  and such  holder(s)
                           shall be  permitted  to correct or remedy such breach
                           or default within the same time within which Landlord
                           may do so, and with like  effect as if  Landlord  had
                           done so.  Tenant's  failure to give to such holder(s)
                           the  notice  provided  in this  Section  shall not be
                           deemed a default by Tenant  under this Lease,  but no
                           notice  given by Tenant to Landlord of any default or
                           breach by Landlord shall be deemed legally  effective
                           until  Tenant  shall have  given  such  notice to the
                           holder(s)  of the first fee  mortgage  at the time on
                           the Demised  Premises  (provided  Tenant has received
                           notice of said  holder(s) as provided  above).  In no
                           event shall  Tenant be required to give more than one
                           notice, to be sent to one address,  in respect of any
                           one mortgage pursuant to this Section.

                  10.3.2   In the  event  that  any  fee  mortgagee  comes  into
                           possession  or  ownership of the title to the Demised
                           Premises,  or  acquires  the  interest of Landlord by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage) or by proceedings on the
                           bond or debt secured  thereby,  or otherwise,  Tenant
                           agrees  to attorn  to such fee  mortgagee  as its new
                           landlord.

                  10.4 Sale by  Landlord.  Landlord  covenants  that it will not
sell or convey any right, title or interest in the Demised Premises prior to the
first  anniversary  of the  Commencement  Date,  without  Tenant's prior written
consent.  In any event,  any sale or conveyance  of the Demised  Premises or any
part  thereof,  shall be subject to the Option  Agreement and the Right of First
Refusal and shall be made subject to this Lease.

                  10.4.1   In the  event of a sale or  transfer  of the  Demised
                           Premises by Landlord, with respect to either of which
                           either  Tenant's  consent has been obtained or is not
                           required,  the grantor or transferor shall thereafter
                           be entirely relieved of all obligations thereafter to
                           be performed by Landlord  under this Lease,  provided
                           that the  purchaser or transferee on any such sale or
                           transfer has assumed and agreed pursuant to a written
                           instrument satisfactory to Tenant to perform, observe
                           and be bound by any and all covenants, conditions and
                           obligations  of  Landlord  hereunder  and  under  the
                           Option  Agreement  and the  Right  of  First  Refusal
                           arising  from and after such sale or transfer  and to
                           be subject to all of the rights of Tenant  under this
                           Lease and the Option Agreement and the Right of First
                           Refusal  whether  arising prior to or after such sale
                           or transfer,  including without limitation all setoff
                           rights, and provided further that (i) any amount then
                           due and  payable to Tenant or for which  Landlord  or
                           the then grantor or transferor  would  otherwise then
                           be liable to Tenant shall be paid to Tenant; (ii) the
                           interest  of the grantor or  transferor  in any funds
                           then in the hands of Landlord or the then  grantor or
                           transferor  in which Tenant has an interest  shall be
                           turned  over,  subject to Tenant's  interest,  to the
                           then grantee or transferee;  and (iii) notice of such
                           sale or  transfer  signed  by  Landlord  or the  then
                           grantor  or  transferor  and by the then  grantee  or
                           transferee shall be delivered to Tenant together with
                           a true copy of the transfer  document and a true copy
                           of the written assumption agreement.

                  10.5 Estoppel  Certificates.  Tenant, upon request by Landlord
or any  prospective  or actual  mortgagee or purchaser  of the  Facility,  shall
execute  and  deliver to  Landlord  within ten (10)  business  days,  after such
request,  an estoppel  certificate  addressed to  Landlord,  and if requested by
Landlord  also to such  mortgagee or purchaser as is  identified  in  Landlord's
request,  which  estoppel  certificate  shall  state,  to the extent  true,  the
following facts: (a) that a Lease, as attached to the estoppel certificate, is a
true and  correct  copy of this Lease and that this Lease has not been  modified
except as set forth in such  attachment or terminated;  (b) that the Annual Rent
in this  Lease as so  modified  has not been  modified;  (c) that  there  are no
outside agreements that would affect such mortgagee or purchaser or any of their
rights under this Lease or to the Demised  Premises except as otherwise noted in
the estoppel  certificate;  (d) that to Tenant's knowledge there are no disputes

with the  terms  of this  Lease  (as so  amended)  to the  date of the  estoppel
certificate and is not in default under any of its obligations contained in this
Lease  (as so  amended)  (or if such  is not the  case,  specifying  the  nature
thereof) and Landlord has not given Tenant  notice of any default  which remains
uncured (or if such is not the case, specifying the nature thereof); (f) that no
Annual Rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; (g) that Tenant
has


                                     - 24 -

Rent has been paid; and (i) any other terms  reasonably  acceptable to Tenant or
reasonably  required  by any  actual  or  prospective  mortgagee  or  purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to furnish any such
estoppel  certificate more often than two times during any Lease Year unless the
request for the same is being made in contemplation of the sale or mortgaging of
the Demised Premises and the prospective purchaser or mortgagee is requiring the
same.

                                     DEFAULT
                                     -------

                  11.1     Default by Tenant.  The occurrence of any one or more
of the following  events shall  constitute a "default" or "Event of Default" for
the purposes of this Lease:

                           (a)      The  failure of Tenant to pay any part of an
Annual  Rent  payment  due under  this  Lease on or before  its due date,  which
failure  continues  for ten (10) days after the  receipt of written  notice from
Landlord.


                           (b)      Any assignment, transfer or sublease of this
Lease or the Demised Premises in violation of Article X hereof.

Annual Rent,  which failure has not been  corrected by Tenant within thirty (30)
days  following  written  notice  from  Landlord   specifying  the  covenant  or
obligation  to be remedied,  or if the  correction of same  reasonably  requires
longer than thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall not have  commenced to correct the
same within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter  proceed to cure the same
in good faith, with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                           (e)      If any  representation  or warranty  made by
Tenant under this Lease shall prove to have been false in any  material  respect
when made and the same has not been  corrected by Tenant within thirty (30) days
following written notice from Landlord specifying the representation or warranty
in question, or if the correction of same reasonably requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter be proceeding with reasonable diligence to
correct the same.

Event of Default and during the continuance  thereof,  Landlord,  at its option,
and  without  further  demand or  notice,  shall have the  following  rights and

without  terminating  this  Lease  and relet the  Demised  Premises  or any part
thereof to a third party. If Landlord relets the Demised  Premises (either for a
term  greater  than,  less than or equal to the  unexpired  portion of the Lease
Term) for an  aggregate  rent during the portion of such new lease which is less
than Annual Rent and other  charges  which Tenant would pay  hereunder  for such
period,  Landlord may immediately upon the making of such new lease, sue for and
recover the  difference  between the aggregate  rental  provided for in said new
lease for the  balance  of the term  coextensive  with the Lease  Term,  and the
Annual Rent which Tenant would pay hereunder for such period,  together with any
reasonable  expenses to which  Landlord  may be put for  brokerage  commissions,
placing the Demised Premises in tenantable condition,  and other related charges
or expenses  accrued prior to the new lease or otherwise.  In the event Landlord
does not collect the entire amount of the aggregate  rental provided for in such
new lease, Landlord may sue for and recover the difference between the amount of
such aggregate rental actually  collected and the Annual Rent which Tenant would
pay hereunder.  If such new lease or tenancy is made for a shorter term than the
balance of the Lease Term, or for a greater  rental,  any such action brought by
Landlord to collect the deficit  for that  period  shall not bar  Landlord  from
thereafter suing for any loss accruing during the balance of the unexpired Lease
Term whether or not due to expiration or termination of the new lease.

                           (c)      Give  a  thirty   (30)   day's   notice   of
termination of this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord prior to the giving of
such notice shall have accepted rent or any other payment,  however  designated,
for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises from or on behalf of Tenant or
from any other person) to Tenant  specifying such Event or Events of Default and
stating  that this Lease and the Lease Term shall  expire and  terminate  on the
date specified in such notice,  which date shall be at least ten (10) days after
the giving of such notice. In the event such notice is given, this Lease and the
Lease Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and  terminate
upon the date  specified  in such  notice  with the same  effect  as if the date
specified  in such notice were the date  originally  set forth in this Lease for
the expiration of the term, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided below.

                            Upon  any such  expiration  or  termination  of this
Lease,  Tenant  shall quit and  peacefully  surrender  the  Demised  Premises to
Landlord,  and  Landlord,  upon or at any  time  after  any such  expiration  or
termination,  may,  without further notice,  enter upon and re-enter the Demised
Premises  and possess and  repossess  itself  thereof,  by summary  proceedings,
ejectment or  otherwise,  and may  dispossess  Tenant and remove  Tenant and all
other  persons and property  from the Demised  Premises  and may have,  hold and
enjoy the Demised  Premises  and the right to receive  all rental  income of and
from the same.

                            No such  expiration  or  termination  of this Lease,
including the re-entry of Landlord,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability and
obligations to pay the Annual Rent theretofore  accrued or thereafter  accruing,
as more  particularly  set forth in paragraph (g) below,  and such liability and
obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

                           (d)      Tenant knowingly and voluntarily  waives any
and all rights of  redemption  which  Tenant may now have or  hereafter  acquire
pursuant  to statute or court  decision,  except for notice as  provided in this
Article.

                           (e)      The rights and remedies given to Landlord in
this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or
not  exercised  by  Landlord,  shall be deemed to be in  exclusion of any of the
others  herein or by law or in equity  provided  and the exercise by Landlord of
any one or more of the rights or remedies  provided  for in this Lease shall not
preclude  the  simultaneous  or later  exercise  by Landlord of any or all other
rights or remedies.

                           (f)      No  receipt  of  monies  by  Landlord   from
Tenant,  after the  cancellation  or  termination  of this  Lease in any  lawful
manner, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term, or affect any notice
theretofore  given to Tenant or operate as a waiver of the right of  Landlord to
enforce  the  payment of Annual  Rent then due or  thereafter  falling  due,  or
operate  as a waiver of the  right of  Landlord  to  recover  possession  of the
Demised Premises by proper suit,  action,  proceeding or other remedy;  it being
agreed  that,  after the  service  of notice  to cancel or  terminate  as herein
provided  and  the  expiration  of  the  time  therein   specified,   after  the
commencement  of any suit,  action,  proceeding or other remedy or after a final
order or judgment for possession of the Demised  Premises,  Landlord may demand,
receive and collect any monies due, or  thereafter  falling due,  without in any
manner affecting such notice, suit, action,  proceeding,  order or judgment; and
any and all such monies so  collected  shall be deemed to be payments on account
of the use  and  occupation  of the  Demised  Premises,  or at the  election  of
Landlord, on account of Tenant's liability hereunder.

                           (g)      In the  event  of the  termination  of  this
Lease as  provided  in this  Article or by  operation  of law or  issuance  of a
dispossessory warrant or otherwise,  Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease
for the payment of Annual Rent and the observance  and  performance of all other
covenants  on its part to be  performed;  and  Landlord  shall have the right to
alter,  change or remodel the  improvements on the Demised Premises and to lease
or let the same, or portions thereof,  or not to lease or let the same, for such
periods of time and at such rentals and for such use and upon such covenants and
conditions  as Landlord  may elect,  applying  the net rentals or avails of such
letting,  if any, first to the payment of Landlord's  expenses in  dispossessing
Tenant and the costs or  expenses  of making  such  improvements  in the Demised
Premises as may be necessary in order to enable  Landlord to relet the same, and
then to the payment of any brokerage  commissions  or other expenses of Landlord
in connection with such reletting;  and the balance, if any, shall be applied by
Landlord  at least once a month,  on account of the  payments  due or payable by
Tenant  hereunder,  if any,  with the right  reserved  to Landlord to bring such
action(s) or  proceeding(s)  for the recovery of any deficits  remaining  unpaid
without  being  obliged  to  await  the  end  of  the  Lease  Term  for a  final
determination  of Tenant's  account,  and the commencement or maintenance of any
one or more actions  shall not bar Landlord  from  bringing  other or subsequent
actions for further  accruals  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section.  Any
balance  remaining,  however,  after full payment and  liquidation of Landlord's
accounts  for the  remainder  of the Lease Term as  aforesaid,  shall be paid to
Tenant  with  the  right  reserved  to  Landlord  at any  time,  if it  has  not
theretofore  terminated  this  Lease,  to give  notice to  Tenant of  Landlord's
election to cancel this Lease and  discharge all the  obligations  thereunder of
either party


                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>



to the other,  and the giving of such  notice  and the  simultaneous  payment by
Landlord to Tenant of any credit balance in Tenant's favor that may at such time
be owing, shall constitute a final and effective  cancellation of this Lease and
a discharge of the obligations thereof on the part of either party to the other.
Tenant agrees to pay, in addition to the rent and other sums required to be paid
hereunder,  such  additional  sums  as  the  court  may  adjudge  reasonable  as
attorneys'  fees in any  successful  suit or action  instituted  by  Landlord to
enforce  the  provisions  of this Lease or the  collections  of the  amounts due
Landlord  hereunder.  Should any rent collected by Landlord be  insufficient  to
fully pay to Landlord a sum equal to all Annual Rent  reserved  herein and other
charges  payable  hereunder  for the  remainder  of the  Lease  Term  originally
demised,  the  balance  or  deficiency  shall be paid by Tenant on the rent days
herein  specified,  that is,  upon each of such rent  days  Tenant  shall pay to
Landlord the amount of the  deficiency  then  existing;  and Tenant shall be and
remain liable for any such deficiency, and the right of Landlord to recover from
Tenant the amount thereof, or a sum equal to all such Annual Rent and Additional
Rent and other charges payable hereunder, if there shall be no reletting,  shall
survive  the  issuance of any  dispossessory  warrant or other  cancellation  or
termination  hereof,  and Landlord shall be entitled to retain any surplus;  and
Tenant hereby  expressly  waives any defense that might be  predicated  upon the
issuance of such  dispossessory  warrant or other  cancellation  or  termination
hereof.

                           (h)      In  any of the  circumstances  mentioned  in
paragraph  (g) of this  Section in which  Landlord  shall have the right to hold
Tenant  liable upon the several rent days as therein  provided,  Landlord  shall
have the right to  election,  in place and instead of holding  Tenant so liable,
forthwith to recover  against  Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as a penalty,  in addition to any other  damages  becoming due, an aggregate sum
which,  at the  time of the  termination  of this  Lease or of the  recovery  of
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord,  as the case may be,  represents
the then present worth of the excess (computed by discounting such excess at the
simple rate of six (6%) percent per annum),  if any, of the  aggregate of Annual
Rent and all other charges  payable by Tenant  hereunder that would have accrued
for the balance of the Lease Term over the aggregate rental value of the Demised
Premises  (such rental value to be computed on the basis of a tenant  paying not
only a rent to Landlord for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises,  but
also such additional rent and other charges as are required to be paid by Tenant
under the terms of this Lease) for the balance of such Lease Term.

                           (i)      Suit  or  suits  for  the  recovery  of  the
deficiency  or  damages  referred  to  above in  paragraphs  (g) and (h) of this
Section, or for any installment or installments of Annual Rent hereunder, or for
a sum equal to any such  installment or installments may be brought by Landlord,
from time to time at Landlord's  election,  and nothing in this Lease  contained
shall be deemed to require  Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the
Lease Term would have  expired by  limitation  had there been no such default by
Tenant or no such cancellation or termination.

                           (j)      Landlord's  failure  to insist on the strict
performance  of and  compliance  with each condition in this Lease shall neither
constitute  nor be construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's
rights  under  this  Article  or by law,  nor  constitute  nor be  construed  as
consisting of a waiver by Landlord of a second or  subsequent  default by Tenant
of the same  condition.  In the event  litigation is commenced,  it shall not be
necessary for


                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>



Landlord to notify  Tenant of any  additional  occurrences  of default  prior to
proceeding as permitted.

                           (k)      In  the   event   of  the   termination   or
expiration of this Lease,  Tenant shall  cooperate with Landlord in the transfer
to the subsequent  operator of the Facility of all licenses and permits required
to continue to operate the Facility as an assisted  living facility or a nursing
care  facility,  whichever  was being  operated at the Facility by Tenant at the
time of such termination or expiration.

                  11.3  Default  by  Landlord.   If  Landlord  defaults  in  the
observance or performance of any covenant, condition or obligation in this Lease
on its part to be observed or  performed,  Landlord  shall have thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice from Tenant stating the default complained of and
referring to the Article and Section in this Lease relied on by Tenant,  to cure
or cause to be cured any such  default,  or if such  default  is not  capable of
being  cured  within  such  thirty (30) days to commence to cure the same during
such  thirty  (30) days and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good faith,
with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and  in  good  faith  pursue  the  cure  as  provided  for  herein,  or  if  any
representation  or warranty made by or on behalf of Landlord in this Lease or in
any  document  or  agreement  delivered  in  connection  with  the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Lease  shall  prove to have been  false or  incorrect  or
breached in any material  respect on the date as of which made,  then Tenant may
sue Landlord for its damages,  including,  without  limitation,  such additional
sums as the court may adjudge  reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful
suit or action instituted by Tenant to enforce the provisions of this Lease, and
may further obtain injunctive  relief if necessary to maintain  operation of the
Demised   Premises  or  comply  with  applicable   legal   requirements  of  any
governmental authority.  In addition,  Tenant may at its option, without waiving
any claim for damages for breach of agreement,  at any time thereafter cure such
default for the  account of  Landlord,  and any amount  paid or any  contractual
liability  incurred by Tenant in so doing  shall be deemed paid or incurred  for
the account of Landlord,  and Landlord  agrees to reimburse  Tenant  therefor or
save Tenant harmless  therefrom;  provided that Tenant may cure any such default
as  aforesaid  prior  to the  expiration  of said  thirty  (30)  day  period  if
reasonably  necessary to cure a default under any mortgage or encumbrance  which
is a lien on the  Demised  Premises,  or to  protect  the  Demised  Premises  or
Tenant's  interest  therein,  or to  prevent  injury  or damage  to  persons  or
property,  or to enable Tenant to conduct its business in the Demised  Premises.
If Landlord  shall fail to reimburse  Tenant upon demand for any amount paid for
the  account  of  Landlord  hereunder  or for any  other sum  payable  to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease,  said amount plus interest thereon at the rate per annum
set forth in Section  3.1.4  hereof  from the date of demand upon  Landlord  for
payment,  may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding  payments of
Annual Rent due hereunder.

                  11.4 Delays.  Whenever this Lease requires any act (other than
the  payment  of a  liquidated  sum of  money,  e.g.,  rental  payments,  taxes,
utilities,  or  any  obligation  that  may be  satisfied  by  the  payment  of a
liquidated sum of money) by Landlord or Tenant within a certain


                                     - 29 -

<PAGE>



period of time or by a certain time,  the time for the  performance  of such act
shall be extended by the period of any delay caused by war,  strikes,  lockouts,
civil commotion,  storms, weather, electrical blackouts,  unpreventable material
shortages,  casualties,  acts of God or other  conditions  or events  beyond the
reasonable  control of the  obligated  party;  provided,  however,  that written
notice of such delay and the cause and  circumstances  thereof shall be given to
the other party  promptly  after the  commencement  of such delay and such delay
becoming known by the obligated party.


                                   ARTICLE XII
                           DAMAGE TO DEMISED PREMISES
                           --------------------------

                  12.1 Major Damage.  In the event that the Demised Premises are
damaged by fire or other casualty,  and the damage or loss exceeds $50,000, then
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of such an event. If the damage
is to an extent that there is Major Damage, as hereinafter  defined, it shall be
the option of Tenant to cancel this Lease by written  notice to Landlord  within
sixty (60) days from the date of such Major Damage.

                  The term "Major Damage" shall mean any damage wherein: (a) the
estimated cost of fully  repairing the damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the
then full replacement  value or (b) 25% or more of the improvements are rendered
unsuitable  for  occupancy  or (c) the damage is caused by an event which is not
covered by the  insurance  policy which Tenant is required to carry  pursuant to
Article XV hereof,  and the estimated cost of fully repairing the damage exceeds
the net amount of insurance  proceeds received by Tenant with respect thereto by
$50,000 or more.  Annual Rent shall abate in  accordance  with  Section  12.2 if
Tenant is unable to use all or any part of the Demised  Premises  while  repairs
are being made;  provided,  however,  that any  abatement  so granted  shall not
exceed the amount of the proceeds actually received by Landlord under any policy
of rent insurance carried for the benefit of Landlord.

                  If Tenant  elects to  terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to this
Section  12.1,  this Lease shall  terminate  fifteen (15) days after the date of
notice,  Tenant shall surrender  possession to Landlord,  and all accrued rights
under this Lease shall survive termination.

                  12.2  Nonmajor  Damage.  Any other damage to the Facility from
any casualty or risk which does not qualify as Major Damage,  shall be deemed to
be nonmajor.  If Tenant does not elect to  terminate  this Lease under the Major
Damage  provision in Section  12.1,  or if the damage is  nonmajor,  then Tenant
shall,  at its sole  cost  and  expense,  repair  or  rebuild  the  Facility  to
substantially the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage, in
accordance with applicable federal,  state and local statutes,  laws, ordinances
and codes and sufficient to meet licensure  requirements  of the State of Kansas
for assisted living  facilities or nursing care  facilities,  as the case may be
according to the actual use by Tenant. The restoration shall be commenced within
ninety  (90) days  after  settlement  shall  have  been made with the  insurance
companies and the insurance  monies shall have been turned over to the Insurance
Trustee (as hereinafter  defined) or Tenant,  as the case may be, as provided in
Article XV hereof and the necessary governmental


                                     - 30 -

<PAGE>



approvals shall have been obtained, and such work shall be completed as promptly
as reasonably possible. Tenant shall also restore any damaged Leased Equipment.

                  The Insurance Trustee shall, provided this Lease shall then be
in full force and effect, apply the net proceeds of any insurance to the payment
of the cost of such repairing or rebuilding as the same progresses,  payments to
be made against properly certified  vouchers of a competent  architect in charge
of the work who is selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord,  which  approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The  Insurance  Trustee  shall
advance out of such insurance proceeds toward each payment,  to be made by or on
behalf of Tenant, an amount which shall bear the same proportion to such payment
as the whole amount  received by the  Insurance  Trustee shall bear to the total
estimated  cost  of the  repairing  or  rebuilding  except,  however,  that  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall  withhold  from  each  amount  so to be paid by it ten
percent (10%) thereof until the work of repairing or rebuilding  shall have been
substantially  completed,  and proof furnished that no lien has attached or will
attach to the Demised Premises in connection with such repairs or rebuilding. If
the total estimated cost of the repairs or rebuilding shall exceed the amount of
the net  proceeds of such  insurance  received  by the  Insurance  Trustee,  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall be  entitled  to require of Tenant  that,  before such
repairing or  rebuilding be  commenced,  the  Insurance  Trustee be secured by a
surety  bond or cash equal to the amount of the  excess of such  estimated  cost
over the net  insurance  proceeds as security for the due  completion,  within a
reasonable  time,  of such  repairs or  rebuilding;  and if Tenant  makes a cash
deposit as  aforesaid,  such cash deposit  shall be deemed to be part of the net
insurance  proceeds for the purpose of this paragraph.  The contract price fixed
in  Tenant's  contract  with the  contractor  who or  which  will  perform  such
repairing or rebuilding  shall be deemed to be the total  estimated cost of such
repairs or  rebuilding  for the  purposes of this  paragraph.  If the  insurance
proceeds  shall  exceed the cost of such  repairs  or  rebuilding,  the  balance
remaining after payment of the cost of such repairs or rebuilding  shall be paid
over and belong to Tenant.

                  In the  event  Tenant  is unable to use all or any part of the
Facility while Tenant  repairs or rebuilds  same,  then the Annual Rent shall be
reduced and abated by a just,  fair and equitable  proportion of the Annual Rent
payable  according  to the  size,  nature  and  extent of the  property  that is
damaged,  taking into account the practical and economic effect of the damage in
question on the operation of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that there
shall be no such abatement in the event Tenant has not  maintained  insurance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 15.3. The abatement of the Annual Rent
shall  commence  with the date of the damage and continue  until the repairs are
substantially completed.  Other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
abate in any manner.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                    LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                    -----------------------------------------

         Landlord and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants to Tenant as
follows:

                  13.1  Organization  and  Standing of  Landlord.  Landlord is a
limited liability company duly organized,  validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,
operating  agreement  and all  amendments  thereto  to date  (collectively,  the
"Organizational  Documents")  have  been  delivered  to  Tenant,  and are  true,
complete and correct.  Landlord has the power and  authority to own the property
and assets now owned by it and to conduct the business presently being conducted
by it and as currently proposed to be conducted.

                  13.2   Authority.   Landlord   has  the  full,   absolute  and
unrestricted  right, power and authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform
this  Lease,  including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,  and  the  other
instruments  and  documents   required  or   contemplated   hereby  and  thereby
("Landlord's Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and
consummation  have been duly  authorized by all necessary  action  (partnership,
corporate, limited liability company, trust or otherwise, as the case may be) on
the part of Landlord,  its managing member (as hereinafter defined) and members,
and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Landlord have been obtained.

                  13.3 Binding Effect.  This Lease constitutes the legal,  valid
and binding obligation of Landlord,  enforceable  against Landlord in accordance
with its terms and each of Landlord's Transaction Documents executed by Landlord
constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligation  of Landlord,  enforceable
against Landlord in accordance with their respective terms.

                  13.4 Absence of Conflicting Agreements.  None of the execution
or  delivery  of  this  Lease  or any of  Landlord  Transaction  Documents,  the
performance  by Landlord  of its  obligations  hereunder  or  thereunder  or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, conflicts with,
or  constitutes  a breach of or a default  under (i)  Landlord's  Organizational
Documents; or (ii) any applicable law, rule, judgment,  order, writ, injunction,
or decree of any court  currently  in effect;  or (iii) any  applicable  rule or
regulation  of  any  administrative  agency  or  other  governmental   authority
currently in effect;  or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule  13.4, any written
or oral  agreement,  indenture,  contract or instrument to which Landlord or any
managing  member  thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the  Demised
Premises or Other Assets are bound.  Said  Schedule 13.4 shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.5  Consents.  Except  as set  forth on  Schedule  13.5,  no
authorization,  consent, approval,  license, exemption by filing or registration
with any court or governmental department,  commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality,  domestic  or  foreign,  or any  other  Person  is or  will  be
necessary in connection with Landlord's  execution,  delivery and performance of
this Lease or any of Landlord Transaction Documents,  or for the consummation of
the transactions


                                     - 32 -

<PAGE>



contemplated  hereby or  thereby.  Said  Schedule  13.5  shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.6     Contracts.

                           (a)      Schedule  13.6  sets  forth a  complete  and
correct list of all agreements,  contracts and  commitments,  whether written or
oral,  relating to the  Facility,  its  operation  or the Other  Assets by which
Landlord or the Demised Premises is bound (the "Contracts").  Landlord is not in
default under any Contract, except any such default that, either individually or
in the  aggregate,  would not have a Material  Adverse  Effect  (as  hereinafter
defined),  and there has not been asserted,  either by or against Landlord under
any Contract,  any notice of default,  set-off or claim of default which has not
been cured.  To the best knowledge of Landlord,  after due inquiry,  none of the
other parties to the Contracts are affiliated with Landlord or are in default of
any of their  respective  obligations  under  the  Contracts,  and there has not
occurred  any event  which with the  passage of time or the giving of notice (or
both)  would  constitute  a default or breach  under any  Contract.  All amounts
payable by Landlord under the Contracts are, or will at the  Commencement  Date,
be on a current  basis.  Except as set forth on Schedule 13.6, the Contracts are
assignable to Tenant  without the consent of the remaining  parties  thereto and
each of the Contracts can be terminated  without  penalty by Landlord upon sixty
(60) or less days  notice.  Said  Schedule  13.6  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)      Except as listed on Schedule 13.6,  Landlord
is not a party to or liable in  connection  with and has not granted any written
or express, oral or implied:

                                    (i)     contract,  agreement  or  commitment
for the  employment  or retention  of, or  collective  bargaining,  severance or

of each  license  and all other  governmental  or other  regulatory  permits and
approvals relating to the operation of the Demised Premises  heretofore obtained

constitute   all  of  the  licenses,   permits,   easements,   rights  or  other
authorizations  of any Governmental  Body or any other Person that are necessary
for the current  operation of the Demised  Premises.  Each License is final (the
effectiveness  of each not being  subject to the  satisfaction  of any condition
precedent),  not subject to lapse,  termination,  revocation or  expiration  for
failure to meet any conditions or requirements or otherwise,  including  without
limitation  the  delivery  of an  unqualified  certificate  of need  or  similar
certificate  or document.  Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies of all of the

of any  License.  Landlord is not in default  under any License  except any such
default that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.  The Demised  Premises are fully and completely  licensed by all
appropriate  authorities  for  Landlord  to  carry  on  the  business  presently
conducted  at the Demised  Premises.  No managing  member,  member,  employee or
former employee of Landlord,  or immediate  family member of any managing member
or member, of Landlord, or any other person, firm or corporation owns or has any
proprietary,  financial or other  interest,  direct or indirect,  in whole or in

                  13.10    Title, Condition of Personal Property.
                           --------------------------------------

                           (a)      Except for the security interests listed and
described  on Schedule  13.10(a),  Landlord  has good title to all of the Leased
Equipment,  subject to no mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, conditional
sales agreement, lease, claim, encumbrance, easement, title exception or charge,
or restraint on transfer whatsoever (collectively,  "Lien"). No other person has
any right to the use or possession of any of the Leased Equipment and, except as
set forth on Schedule 13.10(a),  no currently effective financing statement with
respect to the Leased Equipment has been filed in any jurisdiction, and Landlord
has  not  signed  any  such  financing   statement  or  any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During  the  five (5) year  period  preceding  the  date  hereof,  Landlord  has
conducted its business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or trade name
"The Homestead at Garden City." All of the Leased Equipment is in good operating
condition  and repair and is  functioning  in the manner and for the purpose for
which it was intended and, to the best knowledge of Landlord, after due inquiry,
is in  compliance  with (and the operation  thereof is in  compliance  with) all
applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  rules  and  regulations,  and is
sufficient  and suitable to enable  Tenant to operate the Demised  Premises in a
normal and  efficient  manner.  Said Schedule  13.10(a)  shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)      Except  as set forth on  Schedule  13.10(b),
none of the property  used by Landlord in  connection  with the operation of the
Demised Premises is subject to a conditional sale,  security interest or similar
arrangement.  Schedule 13.10(b) sets forth a complete and correct description of
each of the  Personal  Property  Leases  relating to the Demised  Premises as to
which  Landlord  is a party  (together  with  all  modifications  or  amendments
thereto),  the  annual  rental and  unexpired  lease  term  thereby  and all the
information set forth thereon is complete,  correct and accurate.  True, correct
and complete copies of each of said Personal  Property Leases (together with all
modifications or amendments  thereto) have been delivered to Tenant. All of said
Personal  Property Leases are valid,  binding and enforceable in accordance with
their  respective  terms and are in full force and  effect.  Landlord  is not in
default under any such lease, the consequences of which, either in an individual
case or in the aggregate,  would have a Material  Adverse Effect,  and there has
not been  asserted,  either by or against  Landlord  under any such  lease,  any
notice of  default,  set-off,  or claim of  default.  The parties to such leases
other than Landlord are not in default of their respective obligations under any
such lease, and there has not occurred any event


                                     - 35 -

<PAGE>



which with the  passage of time or giving of notice (or both)  would  constitute
such a default or breach under any such lease.  Except as otherwise set forth on
Schedule 13.10(b), each of said Personal Property Leases is assignable to Tenant
without the consent of the lessor of such property. Said Schedule 13.10(b) shall
be  updated  to  the  extent  necessary  on  and as of  the  day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                  13.11    Title, Condition of the Demised Premises.

selected  by Tenant at  regular  rates,  free and clear of all Liens of any kind
whatsoever, other than those set forth on 13.11(a) (the "Permitted Exceptions").
Said Schedule 13.11(a) shall be updated to the extent necessary on and as of the
day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)      There are no leases or other  agreements  of
Landlord,  as lessor,  granting  any third  party the right to use or occupy any
part of the Demised Premises (except the rights of the residents and patients of
the Demised  Premises)  and no person,  firm or entity other than Tenant has any
ownership  interest or option or right of first refusal to acquire any ownership
interest in the Demised Premises or any building or improvements thereon.

                           (c)      All   buildings   and   other   improvements
comprising  the Demised  Premises  (including all roads,  parking areas,  curbs,
sidewalks,  sewers and other  utilities)  have been  completed  and installed in
accordance with applicable  requirements of all governmental  authorities having
jurisdiction  thereof.  Such permanent  certificates  of occupancy and all other
licenses,  permits,  authorizations  and approvals  required by all governmental
authorities  having  jurisdiction  and the requisite annual fire safety and life
safety  inspections as were required to be issued or conducted for the buildings
and other improvements  comprising the Demised Premises,  have been issued, paid
for and are in full force and effect.

                           (d)      To the  best of  Landlord's  knowledge,  the
maintenance,  operations  and  use  of  the  buildings  and  other  improvements
comprising  the  Demised  Premises  comply  with and do not  violate any zoning,
building or similar law,  ordinance,  order or regulation or any  certificate of
occupancy issued for the Demised Premises;  and no written notice of any failure
to comply with or  violation  of any federal,  state,  county or municipal  law,
ordinance, order, regulation or requirement affecting the Demised Premises shall
have  been  issued  by any  governmental  authority  or  agency.  To the best of
Landlord's  knowledge,  there have been no changes to  building,  health or fire
codes that would be applicable to the Demised Premises; no written notice of any
changes  to such  building,  health  or  fire  codes  have  been  issued  by any
governmental authority or agency; and there has been no change in the use of the
Demised  Premises that would have caused any  modifications to have been made to
the Demised Premises pursuant to any such building, health or fire codes.

                           (e)      To the best of Landlord's  knowledge,  there
is no plan, study or effort by any governmental authority or agency which in any
way affects or would affect the present use or zoning of the Demised Premises or
any part thereof; and no written notice of any


                                     - 36 -

<PAGE>



such plan,  study or effort have been issued by any  governmental  authority  or
agency. There are no assessments,  except as set forth on Schedule 13.11(e), or,
to the best of Landlord's knowledge,  proposed or contemplated assessments,  and
there is no  existing,  or, to the best of  Landlord's  knowledge,  proposed  or
contemplated plan to widen,  modify or realign any street or highway,  and there

contemplated  eminent domain  proceedings that would affect the Demised Premises
in any way  whatsoever.  Said Schedule  13.11(e)  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the  Commencement  Date. No subdivision
plan or  plans  (preliminary  or  otherwise)  have  been,  or will be  filed  by
Landlord,  with respect to the Demised  Premises.  The Demised  Premises are not
located in areas designated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or
any other governmental  authority or agency as having special flood or mud slide
hazards.

                           (f)      The   buildings   and   other   improvements
comprising  the Demised  Premises and all of their  systems,  including  without
limitation,  the  heating,  ventilation  and  air  condition  systems,  and  the
plumbing,  electrical,  mechanical  and drainage  systems,  and roof are in good
operating  condition,  repair and working  order,  and have passed all  previous
safety  and/or  licensing  inspections,   and  such  systems  are  adequate  and
sufficient for use in connection with an assisted living facility, ordinary wear
and tear expected.

                           (g)      There  is no  proceeding  pending  to  which
Landlord is a party  relating to the  assessed  valuation  of any portion of the
Demised  Premises and, except as set forth on Schedule  13.11(e),  no assessment
for public  improvements has been made against the Demised Premises that remains
unpaid.

                           (h)      All  public   utilities   required  for  the
operation  of the Demised  Premises  either enter the Demised  Premises  through
adjoining public streets,  or if they pass through adjoining private land, do so
in accordance  with valid recorded  easements held by Landlord which run for the
benefit of the Land. The Demised Premises are adjacent to and have direct access
to each abutting  street  located or  identified  on that certain  survey of the
Land,  dated May 23, 1996,  prepared by Matthews Land  Surveys,  Inc. as job no.

dedicated to and accepted by the local municipal authorities.

                           (i)      There  are  no   easements   traversing   or
contiguous  to the Demised  Premises  which are not disclosed on any schedule to

                           (j)      All  certificates  of  occupancy  and  other
authorizations  issued for the Demised  Premises have been set forth on Schedule

administrative  or  judicial,  pending,  or, to the best  knowledge of Landlord,
after due inquiry,  threatened or  contemplated,  and, to the best  knowledge of
Landlord,  after due inquiry,  there is no basis therefor,  against or affecting
the Demised  Premises or Landlord's  rights therein or ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, at law or in equity or otherwise, before or by
any court or  governmental  agency or body,  domestic or  foreign,  or before an
arbitrator of any kind.  Landlord has not received any requests for  information
with  respect to the  transactions  contemplated  hereby  from any  governmental
agency.  Said Schedule 13.12 shall be updated to the extent  necessary on and as

                  During the two (2) years prior to the Commencement Date, there
has been no material adverse change in the relationship between Landlord and its
employees  nor any  strike  or labor  disturbance  by such  employees  affecting
Landlord's  business and there is no  indication  that such a change,  strike or
labor  disturbance is likely.  Landlord's  employees are not  represented by any
labor union or similar  organization  and Landlord has no reason to believe that

achieve such representation of all or some of Landlord's employees. There are no
pending suits,  actions or proceedings against Landlord relating to employees of
Landlord,  and Landlord does not know of any threats of strikes,  work stoppages
or pending  grievances  by any such  employees.  Except as set forth on Schedule

policy.  Landlord  shall be named as an additional  insured or a loss payee,  as

may be brought within the coverage of a so-called  "blanket  policy" or policies
of the insurance  carrier  maintained by such party or its  affiliated  business
organizations.  However,  the  other  party  to this  Lease  must be named as an
additional  insured  thereunder as its interest may appear; and the requirements
set forth herein must be otherwise satisfied.

Premises.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  shall also carry and maintain

responsibility for injury or death to persons and damage to property (damages to
the Demised Premises being waived to the extent of insurance proceeds paid to or
on behalf of Landlord) arising out of or in any way connected with or related to

Tenant's  repair  and/or  alteration  of the Demised  Premises) and Tenant shall

liabilities, actions, proceedings and expenses (including attorneys' fees) arise
out of Landlord's negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease. Tenant

misconduct  or breach of this Lease.  Landlord  and Jack West shall at all times
jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant Indemnified

policies  containing  an agreed  amount  endorsement,  demolition  coverage (XCU
coverage) and  ordinance or law coverage,  such policy or policies to be written
on a replacement cost basis.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord
shall at all times be entitled to  insurance  in an amount  sufficient  to avoid
being a coinsurer.  All such insurance shall be carried in favor of Landlord and
Landlord's first fee mortgagee as their  interest(s) may appear.  Such insurance
may also be  carried  in favor of  Tenant  and the  holder(s)  of any  leasehold
mortgages on this Lease, as their interests may appear; provided,  however, that
any such policy shall effectively provide, if such provision be obtainable, that
Landlord's  interest  therein shall not be subject to  cancellation by reason of
any act or  omission  of  Tenant  or any  leasehold  mortgagee.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary,  all such fire and extended coverage and
other  insurance  policies  covering  damage to or  destruction of buildings and
improvements  on the Demised  Premises shall  effectively  provide that any loss
payable  thereunder  shall  be  adjusted  solely  by  Tenant  and the  leasehold
mortgagee(s),  and that the  proceeds  of such  insurance  shall be  payable  to
Tenant, however, if in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),  shall
be paid to and deposited  with  Landlord's  first fee  mortgagee,  provided such
mortgagee is a bank, savings bank or trust company whose deposits are insured by
the FDIC,  or insurance  company,  pension fund,  credit  company or real estate
investment trust, and such mortgagee has resources in excess of $100,000,000 (an
"Institutional  Lender"),  and if not then  said  proceeds  shall be paid to and
deposited  with any  Institutional  Lender of Tenant's  selection,  as insurance
trustee (the "Insurance  Trustee"),  which shall hold,  apply and make available
the proceeds of such insurance as hereinafter provided in this Lease.

the other party  (which term as used in this  Section  includes  the  employees,
agents,  officers,  managing  member,  members and directors of the other party)
from all liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in connection with loss
covered by any fire  and/or  extended  coverage  insurance  policies,  which the
releasor  carries  with  respect to the  Demised  Premises,  or any  interest or
property  therein or thereon  (whether or not such  insurance  is required to be
carried  under this  Lease),  but only to the extent that such loss is collected
under said fire and/or extended  coverage  insurance  policies.  Such release is
also  conditioned  upon the  inclusion  in the policy or policies of a provision
whereby any such release shall not adversely affect said policies,  or prejudice
any right of the  releasor  to recover  thereunder.  Each party  agrees that its
insurance  policies  aforesaid will include such a provision so long as the same
shall be  obtainable  without  extra  cost,  or if extra  cost  shall be charged
therefor,  so long as the party for whose benefit the clause or  endorsement  is

each party shall advise the other of the amount of the extra cost, and the other
party at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

         If any controversy should arise between the parties in the performance,
interpretation  or application of this Lease involving any matter,  either party
may serve upon the other a written  notice  stating  that such party  desires to
have the  controversy  resolved by an  arbitrator.  If the parties  cannot agree
within  fifteen (15) days from the service of such notice upon the  selection of
such  arbitrator,  an arbitrator shall be selected or designated by the American
Arbitration Association upon written request of either party hereto. Arbitration
of such controversy,  disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance
with the Commercial  Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration
Association  and the decision and award of the  arbitrator so selected  shall be
binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

         As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator,  in any
non-monetary dispute, both parties shall be required to make a good faith effort
to resolve the  controversy,  which effort shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days prior to any demand for arbitration.  The cost of any such arbitration
shall be shared  equally  by the  parties.  Each  party  shall pay its own costs
incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         If the issue to be arbitrated is Landlord's or Tenant's  alleged breach
of this  Lease and as a result  thereof,  Landlord  or  Tenant  has the right to
terminate  this Lease,  Tenant  shall  continue  to lease the  Demised  Premises
pending the outcome of such  arbitration,  provided Landlord or Tenant may elect
to proceed without arbitration under its other remedies in this Lease.

                          -----------------------------

                  17.1     Covenant Not-To-Compete.

                           (a)      For a  period  of five  (5)  years  from and
after the Commencement Date neither Landlord nor any corporation, partnership or
other  business  entity or person  controlling,  controlled  by or under  common
control with  Landlord  ("Restricted  Party"),  shall,  directly or  indirectly,
operate, manage, own, control, finance or provide financing for, be a consultant
for or enter  into a service  contract  with,  any  nursing  home,  hospital  or
licensed health care facility or other person or entity of any type, licensed or
unlicensed,  existing or to be constructed  that provides  assisted living care,
nursing home care or any other senior  housing,  or any entity existing or to be
formed that  competes in any way with the Demised  Premises  (any such person or
entity being herein  referred to as an "Operator"),  that provides  nursing home
care,  assisted  living care or senior  housing,  and which  facility is located
within twenty-five (25) miles from the exterior boundaries of the Land.

                           (b)      From and after  the  Commencement  Date,  no
Restricted Party shall disclose,  directly or indirectly,  to any person outside
of Tenant's  employ without the express  authorization  of Tenant,  any resident
lists, pricing strategies, resident files and records, proprietary data or trade
secrets relating to the Demised  Premises or any financial or other  information
about the Demised Premises not then in the public domain.

                           (c)      For a  period  of five  (5)  years  from and
after the  Commencement  Date,  no  Restricted  Party  shall  solicit any of the
physicians,  customers, vendors, suppliers,  associates,  employees, independent
contractors,  residents or families of residents admitted to, or employed at the
Demised  Premises  prior to the  Commencement  Date,  or by the  Facility  or by
Tenant, to take any action or to refrain from taking any action or inaction that
would be disadvantageous  to Tenant or the Facility,  including (but not limited
to) the  solicitation  of their  respective  physicians,  suppliers,  customers,
vendors, associates,  employees, independent contractors,  residents or families
of residents to cease doing  business,  or their  association or employment with
the Facility or Tenant.

                           (d)      The Restricted Parties  acknowledge that the
restrictions  contained  in this Section 17.1 are  reasonable  and  necessary to
protect  the  legitimate  business  interests  of Tenant and that any  violation
thereof by any of them would result in irreparable harm to Tenant.  Accordingly,
the  Restricted  Parties  agree that upon the violation by any of them of any of
the  restrictions  contained in this Section  17.1,  Tenant shall be entitled to
obtain from any court of competent  jurisdiction  a  preliminary  and  permanent
injunction as well as any other relief provided at law, equity, under this Lease
or  otherwise.  In the  event any of the  foregoing  restrictions  are  adjudged
unreasonable in any  proceeding,  then the parties agree that the period of time
or the scope of such  restrictions  (or both) shall be adjusted to such a manner
or for such a time (or both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.

recognized  overnight delivery service. The parties hereto shall have the right,

Other Assets from Landlord.

                  18.3 Amendment. This Lease may be amended at any time and from
time to time;  provided,  however,  that no  amendment  to this  Lease  shall be

provided for herein,  Landlord and Tenant  expressly agree that,  subject to the

this Lease.

                  18.9  Prohibition  of Mechanics  Liens.  Nothing in this Lease
shall be deemed or construed in any way as  constituting  the consent or request
of Landlord, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor,  laborer,  or materialman for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing  of any materials for any specific  improvements,  alteration  to, or
repair of the Demised  Premises or any part  thereof,  nor as giving  Tenant any
right,  power,  or  authority  to contract  for or permit the  rendering  of any
services or the  furnishing of any materials  that would give rise to the filing
of any lien against the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

attorney's  fees,  from all  claims or  actions  brought  by any broker or agent
claiming to represent the  indemnifying  party in this  transaction  for fees or
commissions.

                  18.11  Captions  and  Indexes.   Article  or  Section  titles,
captions or indexes,  contained in this Lease are  inserted  only as a matter of

of the  parties  to this Lease  have  influenced  the  language  of this  Lease.
Therefore,  this Lease shall not be construed against any party to this Lease by
reason of drafting authorship.

                 ----------------------------------------------

                       21.1  Termination.  Without limiting any of the rights of
Tenant in this Lease or as it may be otherwise lawfully  entitled,  it is agreed
that the  commencement  of the  Lease  Term is  conditioned  upon,  and shall be
subject to, the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to Tenant's obligations
hereunder,  including, without limitation, those conditions set forth in Article
XIX hereof,  the verification by Tenant of the accuracy of all of Landlord's and
Jack West's warranties and representations made herein and the due compliance by
Landlord of all of its  agreements  set forth herein and elsewhere in this Lease
which are to be performed prior to the  Commencement  Date. If, on or before the
Commencement  Date,  Tenant,  in its sole judgment,  shall determine that any of
said conditions precedent have not been satisfied,  or that Landlord's or any of
Jack West's  representations  or warranties  are untrue or that Landlord has not
complied  with any of said  agreements,  then the Tenant may elect to either (i)
extend the  Commencement  Date for a period or  periods  not in excess of ninety
(90)  days in the  aggregate,  during  which  time  Landlord  shall use its best
efforts  to  satisfy  the  condition,  complete  its  required  performance  and
otherwise cure the defect or  non-compliance;  or (ii) terminate this Lease,  by
notice to  Landlord.  If at the end of any  extended  period or periods  for the
Commencement Date said defect or  non-compliance  has not been cured to Tenant's
reasonable satisfaction,  Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord.
If this Lease is  terminated,  as aforesaid,  Landlord shall cause any deposits,
prepayments or other sums  theretofore  delivered or paid by Tenant hereunder to
be refunded to Tenant, with all interest earned thereon,  and Landlord shall pay
up to $15,000 of the cost of any survey  obtained,  any title search  made,  any
insurance  commitment issued by Tenant's title insurance company,  and any other
expenses,  including  but not  limited to legal  fees,  incurred  by Tenant,  in
connection with this Lease.

                  21.2 Tenant's  Remedies.  If Landlord fails to comply with any
of the  provisions of this Lease then,  in addition to all other legal  remedies
available to Tenant by reason of Landlord's default, Tenant shall have the right
to obtain specific  performance of Landlord's  obligations  hereunder.  Each and
every  covenant,  representation  and  warranty of  Landlord  and Jack West made
herein shall survive and continue after the Commencement Date. Nothing contained
herein  shall be deemed to restrict or limit  Tenant in any way from  offsetting
against  or  deducting  from any  Annual  Rent or other  payments  to be made to
Landlord herein, the amount


                                     - 57 -

of any costs or damages  incurred by Tenant as a result of or arising out of the
breach by Landlord of any covenant,  agreement,  representation or warranty made
by Landlord or Jack West in this  Lease;  provided  that the amount to be offset
against  or  deducted  from any  particular  payment  shall not exceed ten (10%)
percent  of such  payment,  with the  balance  of any such  amount  to be offset
against  or  deducted  from  subsequent  payments  subject to such cap and carry
forward provisions.

                            PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT
                            -------------------------


         THIS PURCHASE OPTION  AGREEMENT  (this "Option  Agreement") is made and
entered  into as of the 18th day of June,  1996 by and THE  HOMESTEAD  OF GARDEN
CITY,  L.C.,  a Kansas  limited  liability  company  having an  address  c/o The
Homestead  Company,  L.C., 155 North Market,  Suite 910, Wichita,  Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr. Jack West ("Owner"), and INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES AT GARDEN
CITY, INC., a Delaware  corporation having an office at 10065 Red Run Boulevard,
Owing Mills, Maryland 21117 ("Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Owner  is the  owner  of  certain  parcels  of land  and real
property (the "Land") as indicated and more fully  described on Exhibit A hereto
and all of the "Leased  Improvements",  "Related Rights" and "Fixtures" (as said
terms are  defined in the  hereinafter  described  Lease)  situated  thereon and
appurtenant  thereto,  and Owner is the  owner of the  "Personal  Property"  and
"Other Assets" (as said terms are defined in the Lease) situate on,  appurtenant
to  and/or  related  to the Land  and  Leased  Improvements  (the  Land,  Leased
Improvements,  Related Rights, Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets are
herein collectively referred to as the "Facility"); and

         WHEREAS, Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Lease Agreement
of even date herewith ("Lease") pursuant to which Owner has agreed to demise and
Optionee has agreed to lease the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Right of First
Refusal  Agreement of even date  herewith  (the "Right of First  Refusal")  with
respect to third party offers to purchase the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner has agreed to grant to  Optionee  an option to purchase
all of the Facility.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and  in  consideration  of the  promises  herein
contained,  and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are  acknowledged by the parties,  Owner and Optionee agree
as follows:

         1.       Grant of Option.  Effective  as of the date hereof and subject
to the terms and conditions as set forth below,  Owner hereby grants and conveys
to Optionee the  irrevocable  and exclusive  right and option (the  "Option") to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Facility from Owner,  upon the terms
and conditions of this Option Agreement. If the Lease is terminated prior to the
Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease), then this Option Agreement shall be
deemed to be terminated simultaneously with such termination of the Lease.

         2.       Option Period.  The Option may be exercised by Optionee in the
manner  specified  in Section 4 hereof at any time during the Initial Term after
the fifth  anniversary of the date of the Lease and, if the Lease is extended as
provided therein, at any time during each Renewal Term of the


                                       -1-

<PAGE>



Lease (the terms  "Initial  Term" and "Renewal Term" being defined in the Lease;
said  periods,  each  individually  referred  to herein as an "Option  Period").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be an abeyance of Optionee's right to
exercise the Option during any (a) ninety (90) day period  provided in Section 3
of the Right of First Refusal during which Owner can accept an Offer (as defined
in the Right of First  Refusal)  and (b) period that a contract of sale  between
Owner and a third  party with  respect to an Offer is in full force and  effect.
The abeyance of Optionee's  right to exercise the Option shall  automatically be
lifted if Owner does not accept the Offer  within such ninety (90) day period or
any such contract of sale is terminated.

         If the  Option has not been  exercised  by  Optionee,  as  provided  in
Section 3 hereof,  prior to the  expiration of the last Option  Period,  or such
later date as is provided in Section 3 hereof,  the Option  shall  automatically
expire and be of no further force or effect.

         3. Exercise of the Option. Optionee shall exercise the Option by giving
written notice thereof (the "Exercise  Notice") to Owner in the manner  provided
in Section 16 hereof,  at least one hundred  twenty (120) days prior to the date
specified  in such  notice  for the  Closing  (as  hereinafter  defined)  of the
purchase of the  Facility by Optionee  (as the same may be extended  pursuant to
the terms  hereof,  the  "Closing  Date"),  provided  that in no event shall the
Closing Date specified in the Exercise  Notice be later than the date originally
set forth in the Lease for the  expiration  of the Lease Term (as defined in the
Lease).  Notwithstanding  the general notice period under Section 16 hereof, the
Exercise  Notice,  if mailed in  accordance  with  Section 16  hereof,  shall be
effective  upon deposit with the United States mail.  From and after the date on
which the Exercise  Notice is given,  this Option  Agreement shall be deemed for
all purposes to be a legally enforceable contract between Optionee and Owner for
the sale and  purchase  of the  Facility  upon the terms and  conditions  herein
provided.  If Optionee  fails to exercise  the Option in the manner  provided in
this Option Agreement prior to the expiration of the last Option Period, subject
to the following  sentence,  the Option shall expire,  and no party hereto shall
thereafter  have any rights,  liabilities or obligations  whatsoever  under this
Option  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and anything  herein to the
contrary,  in the event that the Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the
date  originally set forth therein for the  expiration of the term thereof,  the
Option shall  continue and Optionee  shall have the right to exercise the Option
by giving the Exercise Notice to Owner not later than the ten (10) business days
after  the date on which  the  notice  of  termination  under the Lease has been
given,  provided that the Closing Date in such event shall be not later than the
date which is one hundred twenty (120) days  following the date the  termination
of the Lease  became  effective.  If the Lease is  terminated  or the Lease Term
expires prior to the Closing Date, then Optionee shall be permitted to remain in
possession of the Facility  until the Closing Date, or such earlier date as this
Option  Agreement may be terminated as herein  provided,  such  possession to be
upon all of the same terms and provisions of the Lease (including the provisions
for payment of Annual Rent) in effect  during the Lease Year (the terms  "Annual
Rent" and "Lease Year" being defined in the Lease) in effect  immediately  prior
to the date of the termination of the Lease or expiration of the Lease Term.

         4.       Sale and Purchase of the Facility.
                  ----------------------------------                

                  (a) Upon the giving of the Exercise  Notice,  Owner shall sell
the Facility to Optionee and Optionee  shall purchase the Facility from Owner in
the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

                  (b)  Optionee's  decision to exercise  the Option shall not be
deemed a waiver of any breach of  representation,  warranty or covenant given by
Owner or Jack West in this Option Agreement, the Lease or in the Deed or Bill of
Sale referred to in Section 9 hereof,  and Optionee  shall retain all rights and
remedies with respect thereto.

         5.       Purchase   Price.   (a)  Optionee  shall  pay  to  Owner,   in
consideration of the sale and conveyance of the Facility to Optionee, a purchase
price (the  "Purchase  Price") equal to the fair market value of the Facility as
determined  pursuant to the appraisal process hereinafter  described,  provided,
however,  the  Purchase  Price  shall not be less than  $2,800,000.  The  entire
Purchase Price will be payable at the Closing by Optionee's  certified  check or
an official bank check,  (either such check being hereinafter  referred to as an
"Acceptable Check") payable to the order of Owner, or at Owner's option, by wire
transfer  of  immediately  available  federal  funds  to  Owner's  account  in a
commercial bank in accordance with wire transfer instructions to be furnished by
Owner  not later  than ten (10) days  prior to the  Closing,  or by (at  Owner's
option) a combination of both.

                  (b) Any  appraisal  of fair market  value to be made under the
provisions of this Section shall be made as follows:

                  At any time  after  Owner's  receipt  of  Optionee's  Exercise
Notice,  Owner and Optionee may, by notice to the other, appoint a disinterested
person  of  recognized  competence  in the field as one of the  appraisers,  and
within twenty (20) days thereafter the other party shall, by notice to the party
appointing  the  first  appraiser,   appoint  another  disinterested  person  of
recognized  competence in such field as a second appraiser.  The appraisers thus
appointed shall appoint a third disinterested person of recognized competence in
such field, and such three  appraisers  shall as promptly as possible  determine
such value, provided, however, that:

                  (i)      if the second appraiser shall not have been appointed
as aforesaid, the first appraiser shall proceed to determine such value; and

                  (ii)     if, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the
second appraiser, the two appraisers appointed by the parties shall be unable to
agree upon the appointment of a third appraiser,  they shall give notice of such
failure to agree to the  parties,  and,  if the  parties  fail to agree upon the
selection  of such third  appraiser  within  five (5) days after the  appraisers
appointed by the parties gave notice,  as  aforesaid,  then within five (5) days
thereafter either of the parties upon notice to the other party hereto may apply
for such  appointment to a court of the State of Kansas having a situs in Finney
County.



                                       -3-

<PAGE>



                   All  appraisers,  in addition to being  persons of recognized
competence in the field of appraisal,  shall be MAI appraisers with at least ten
years prior  experience.  Each of the parties  shall each be entitled to present
evidence and argument to the appraisers.  The  determination  of the majority of
the appraisers or of the sole appraiser,  as the case may be, or, if there is no
majority,  the average of said appraisers appraisals (provided,  however, if any
single  appraisal  deviates from the average of the other two appraisals by more
than twenty (20%)  percent,  then such  appraisal  shall be  disregarded in such
determination),  shall be conclusive upon the parties and judgment upon the same
may be entered in any court having  jurisdiction  thereof.  The appraisers shall
give notice to the parties  stating  their  determination,  and shall furnish to
each party a copy of such determination signed by them. Each party shall pay the
costs, fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by that party and costs, fees
and the expenses of the third  appraiser and all other aspects of this appraisal
process  shall be borne  equally by the  parties.  Each party  shall pay its own
costs  and  expenses  incurred  as a  result  of its  participation  in any such
appraisal  process.  In the event of the  failure,  refusal or  inability of any
appraiser  to act, a new  appraiser  shall be  appointed in his stead within ten
(10) days,  which  appointment  shall be made in the same manner as hereinbefore
provided for the appointment of the appraiser so failing,  refusing or unable to
act.  The  appraisers  shall base their  determination  on the  highest and best
legally permissible use of the Facility,  as-is at the time of the Closing Date,
and unencumbered by the Lease, and shall not have the power to add to, modify or
change any of the provisions of this Option Agreement.

         6.       Intentionally Deleted.
                  ----------------------

         7.  Survey  and  Engineering.  Optionee  shall at all times  during the
Option  Period and  before  the  Closing  have the  privilege  of going upon the
Facility with its agents or engineers as needed to inspect,  examine, survey and
otherwise do what Optionee deems  necessary in the  engineering and planning for
development of the Facility. Said privilege shall include the right to make soil
tests,  borings,  percolation  tests  and  tests  to  obtain  other  information
necessary to determine surface, subsurface and topographic conditions; provided,
however,  that  Optionee  shall hold Owner  harmless  from any damages  incurred
through the  exercise of such  privilege.  Optionee  and Owner agree that in the
event of the exercise of the Option, Optionee may obtain surveys of the Facility
(hereinbelow referred to as the "Surveys") to be made by surveyors duly licensed
within  the state  where the  Facility  is  located  to  determine  the true and
accurate  legal  description of the  properties  comprising the Facility,  which
Surveys shall be at Optionee's sole cost and expense.

         8.  Examination  of Title.  Optionee  shall on or about the date of the
exercise of the Option  order a title  insurance  search and  commitment  for an
Owner's title insurance policy from any reputable title insurance  company,  and
not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date  Optionee  shall cause a
copy of such  title  company's  report  to be sent to Owner and  Optionee  shall
advise Owner of any defects or objections  affecting the  marketability of title
for the Facility disclosed by such report (a "Defect"), other than the following
items:  (herein  referred to  collectively as the "Permitted  Exceptions")  real
property and personal property taxes and assessments  applicable to the Facility
that are not yet due and payable,  recorded  general utility  service  easements
affecting the Facility  which are acceptable to Optionee,  defects  arising from
acts or omissions (or with the written


                                       -4-

<PAGE>



consent) of Optionee and the items listed on Exhibit B hereto.  Owner shall then
have a reasonable  time,  not less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice
of such Defect from Optionee,  to cure or remove such Defect,  or if such Defect
may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a  liquidated  sum,  Owner may, in
lieu of curing or removing such Defect,  deposit with Optionee's title insurance
company  such  amount of money as may be  determined  by said  company  as being
sufficient  to induce  it to omit  such  Defect  from its  policy  and to insure
Optionee against  collection of the same.  Owner shall, in good faith,  exercise
reasonable  diligence  to cure all  Defects.  If Owner fails or refuses to cure,
remove or (if  herein  permitted)  so insure  against  any  Defect  prior to the
Closing Date or the thirty (30) day cure period,  whichever is less, in addition
to the other  rights and  remedies  that  Optionee may have in law or in equity,
Optionee  may, at its  option:  (a) cure,  remove or so insure  against any such
Defect,  in which event the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by the amount equal
to the actual  costs and  expenses  incurred by Optionee in curing,  removing or
insuring  against such Defect;  (b) accept title to the Facility subject to such
Defect or Defects with an abatement of the Purchase  Price in an amount equal to
the then  ascertainable  cost of removing or curing said  Defect;  or (c) cancel
this  Option  Agreement.  If  Optionee  elects  to cure or remove  such  Defect,
Optionee at its option, upon giving notice to Owner, may extend the Closing Date
for the purchase of the Facility (and if necessary, the Option Period shall also
be  extended)  for  ninety  (90) days.  If any Defect  shall not have been cured
within  such  period,  Optionee  may  again  exercise  any of its  rights  under
subsections (a), (b), or (c) hereof.

         9.       Closing and Closing Date.
                  -------------------------

                  (a) The  consummation  of the sale by Owner  and  purchase  by
Optionee  of the  Facility  (the  "Closing")  shall  occur at the offices of the
attorney for Optionee in Wichita,  Kansas,  on the Closing Date as designated by
Optionee in the Exercise Notice. At the Closing, Owner shall execute and deliver
to Optionee a general warranty deed (the "Deed") conveying fee simple marketable
record  title to the Facility to Optionee  free and clear of all liens,  special
assessments  and other  Impositions  (as defined in the Lease),  or installments
thereof,  as the case may be,  which were due and  payable  prior to the date of

                                       -6-

<PAGE>



                           (i) Owner  is  a  limited   liability   company  duly
organized,  validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,  operating  agreement  and all
amendments thereto to date (collectively,  the "Organizational  Documents") have
been delivered to Optionee,  and are true,  complete and correct.  Owner has the
power  and  authority  to own the  property  and  assets  now owned by it and to
conduct the business  presently being conducted by it and as currently  proposed
to be conducted.

                         (ii)  Owner has the  full,  absolute  and  unrestricted
right,  power and  authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform this Option
Agreement,   including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,   and  the  other
instruments and documents required or contemplated  hereby and thereby ("Owner's
Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and consummation
have been duly authorized by all necessary action (partnership, corporate, trust
or otherwise,  as the case may be) on the part of Owner, its managing member and
members and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Owner have been obtained.

                        (iii)  This  Option  Agreement  constitutes  the  legal,
valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable  against Owner in accordance
with its terms  and each of  Owner's  Transaction  Documents  executed  by Owner
constitute the valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable against Owner
in accordance with their respective terms.

                         (iv)  None of the  execution or delivery of this Option
Agreement or any of Owner's Transaction  Documents,  the performance by Owner of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby,  conflicts with, or constitutes a breach of or a
default under (1) Owner's Organizational  Documents;  or (2) any applicable law,
rule,  judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  or decree of any court currently in
effect; or (3) any applicable rule or regulation of any administrative agency or
other  governmental  authority  currently in effect;  or (4) any written or oral
agreement,  indenture,  contract  or  instrument  to which  Owner or any  member
thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the Facility is bound.

                          (v)  No  authorization,  consent,  approval,  license,
exemption by filing or registration  with any court or governmental  department,
commission,  board, bureau,  agency or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign, or
any other Person (as defined in the Lease) is or will be necessary in connection
with any Owner's execution, delivery and performance of this Option Agreement or
any  of  Owner's  Transaction   Documents,   or  for  the  consummation  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (b) All of the representations,  warranties and agreements set
forth  herein  and  elsewhere  in this  Option  Agreement,  shall be true in all
material respects upon the execution of this Option  Agreement,  shall be deemed
to be  repeated  on the  Commencement  Date  of the  Lease  and at and as of the
Closing Date and shall survive the delivery of the Deed. No such  representation
or warranty shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. Except as herein expressly provided,
neither Owner nor Jack West makes any representations or warranties with respect
to the Facility.

<PAGE>



                  (c) Without  limiting any of the rights of Optionee  elsewhere
provided  for in this  Option  Agreement,  it is agreed that the  obligation  of
Optionee to close title under this Option  Agreement is  conditioned  upon,  and
shall be subject to, the  verification  by  Optionee  of the  accuracy of all of
Owner's and Jack West's warranties and representations and the due compliance by
Owner with all of its  agreements  set forth herein and elsewhere in this Option
Agreement.  If, on or before  the  Closing  Date,  Optionee,  in its  reasonable
judgment,   shall   determine  that  any  of  Owner's  or  any  of  Jack  West's
representations  or warranties are untrue in any material  respect or that Owner
has not  complied  with  any of said  agreements,  then  Optionee  may  elect to
terminate  this  Option  Agreement  by  notice  given to Owner.  If this  Option
Agreement is  terminated,  as aforesaid,  Owner shall pay the cost of any survey
obtained and the cost of any title search made, any insurance commitment issued,
by Optionee's title insurance company and any other expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,  incurred by Optionee,
in connection with this Option Agreement.

                           (i)      duly  execute and  deliver to  Optionee  the
Deed in recordable  form and the Bill of Sale conveying the Facility to Optionee

                           (ii)     deliver   possession   of  the  Facility  to
Optionee, free and clear of any indebtedness and security liens relating thereto
(excluding those created by Optionee).

                  (c)  At  the  Closing,   Optionee  shall  deliver,  as  herein
provided,  the balance of the Purchase Price for the Facility and all other sums

and agrees that from and after the date hereof  until the Closing  Date,  unless
permitted  pursuant to the Lease,  Owner shall not grant or otherwise  create or
consent  to or  permit  the  creation  of any  easement,  restriction,  lien  or
encumbrance  affecting the Facility or any portion or portions  thereof  without
the prior written consent of Optionee.  From and after the date hereof until the
Closing  Date,  unless  permitted  pursuant  to the  Lease or the Right of First
Refusal,  Owner shall not, without the prior written consent of Optionee,  sell,
convey or transfer the Facility or any portion or portions thereof,


                                       -8-

                               --------  -------
or  transfer  shall be  subject  to all rights of  Optionee  under  this  Option
Agreement, the Right of First Refusal and the Lease.

         13.      Intentionally Deleted.
                  ----------------------

         14. Defaults.  In the event Owner or Jack West breach,  in any material
respect,  any warranty or  representation as contained in this Option Agreement,
or Owner  fails to comply with or perform any of the  covenants,  agreements  or
obligations  to be  performed  by Owner under the terms and  provisions  of this
Option Agreement,  Optionee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and
remedies  available  to  Optionee  at  law  or  in  equity,  including,  without
limitation, the enforcement by specific performance of Owner's obligations under
this Option Agreement.  If Owner shall be in compliance with all its obligations
hereunder and shall tender the Deed, the Bill of Sale and all other  instruments
required  by this  Option  Agreement  in full  compliance  with its  obligations
hereunder  and  Optionee  shall fail or refuse to close title as required by the
terms of this Option Agreement,  or if Optionee  otherwise defaults hereunder so
that Owner has the right to refuse to close title,  then Owner shall be entitled
to  exercise  any and all rights and  remedies  available  to Owner at law or in
equity, including,  without limitation,  the enforcement by specific performance
of Optionee's obligations under this Option Agreement.

         15. Arbitration. If any controversy should arise between the parties in
the  performance,  interpretation  or  application  of  this  Option  Agreement,
involving  any matter,  either  party may serve upon the other a written  notice
stating  that  such  party  desires  to  have  the  controversy  reviewed  by an
arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator
shall be selected or designated  by the American  Arbitration  Association  upon
written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Owner and
Optionee. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

                  As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator
both  parties  shall be  required  to make a good faith  effort to  resolve  the
controversy  which effort shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days prior
to any  demand for  arbitration.  The cost and  expense of any such  arbitration
shall be shared  equally by the parties.  Each party shall pay its own costs and
expenses incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

Optionee  hereunder  shall be assignable.  The parties to this Option  Agreement
mutually  agree  that it shall be binding  upon and enure to the  benefit of the
parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

         18.      Evidence of Title.  Owner  agrees to deliver to  Optionee,  or
Optionee's counsel, as soon as reasonably possible after the date hereof, copies
of all title information in possession of or available to Owner, including,  but
not limited to: title insurance policies, attorney's opinions on title, boundary
surveys, covenants, leases, easements and deeds relating to the Facility.

         19.      General  Provisions.  No failure of any party to exercise  any
power given  hereunder or to insist upon strict  compliance  with any obligation
specified  herein,  and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof,
shall  constitute a waiver of either  party's  right to demand exact  compliance
with the terms hereof.  This Option  Agreement  contains the entire agreement of
the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements,
oral or otherwise,  among the parties not embodied  herein shall be of any force
or effect.  Any amendment to this Option Agreement shall not be binding upon any
of the parties  hereto  unless such  amendment is in writing and executed by all
parties hereto. This Option Agreement may be executed in multiple  counterparts,
each of which shall  constitute  an  original,  but all of which taken  together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Owner and Optionee agree that such
documents as may be legally necessary or otherwise  appropriate to carry out the
terms of this Option  Agreement shall be executed and delivered by each party at
the Closing.

         20.      Severability.   This  Option   Agreement  is  intended  to  be
performed  in  accordance  with,  and  only  to the  extent  permitted  by,  all
applicable laws,  ordinances,  rules and  regulations.  If any provision of this
Option Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall,
for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable,  the remainder of
this Option  Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances  shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.

         21.      Understanding   and   Agreements.    This   Option   Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding and agreements of whatsoever nature or kind
existing among the parties with respect to the Option.

interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

         23.      Broker.  Each of the  parties  hereto  agrees  that it has not
dealt with any broker in connection with this  transaction  other than Southwest
Retirement  Properties (the "Broker") and Optionee agrees to pay any commissions
earned by the Broker,  whether pursuant to a separate  agreement  between it and
the Broker, or otherwise. If no broker is specified in this Section, the parties
acknowledge that this Option  Agreement was brought about by direct  negotiation
between  Owner and Optionee and that neither  Owner nor Optionee  know of anyone
entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction. Owner and Optionee
shall indemnify and defend each other against  any and all

indemnities  contained in this Section 23 shall  survive the Closing,  or if the
Closing does not occur, the termination of this Option Agreement.

         24. Condemnation. If, after the exercise of the Option and prior to the
Closing Date,  all or any portion of the Facility is taken by eminent  domain or
condemnation  (or is the subject of a pending or  contemplated  taking which has
not been  consummated),  Owner shall notify  Optionee of such fact, and Optionee
shall have, in the event that the whole Facility or a "substantial  and material
portion"  (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Lease) of the  Facility is taken (or
is  the  subject  of a  pending  or  contemplated  taking  which  has  not  been
consummated),  the option to  terminate  this  Option  Agree ment upon notice to
Owner given not later than  fifteen (15) days after  receipt of Owner's  notice.
Upon such termination by Optionee neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations  hereunder.  If Optionee  does not exercise this option to terminate
this Option  Agreement or the taking (or pending or contemplated  taking) is not
of the whole or a substantial and material portion of the Facility,  there shall
be a fair and equitable  adjustment  of the Purchase  Price or, at the option of
Optionee,  in lieu of such  adjustment,  Owner shall  assign and turn over,  and
Optionee shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for
such taking by eminent domain or condemnation.

         25.  Expense  of  Litigation.  If  either  party  incurs  any  expense,
including  reasonable   attorneys'  fees,  in  connection  with  any  action  or
proceeding  instituted  by  either  party by reason of any  default  or  alleged
default of the other party  hereunder,  the court or tribunal  before which such
proceeding  is  pending  may award to the  party  prevailing  in such  action or
proceeding  the reasonable  attorneys'  fees of such  prevailing  party from the
other party.

         26.  Memorandum of Option  Agreement.  Owner and Optionee shall execute
and deliver to each other an  instrument,  recordable in form setting forth such
information  as may be necessary to constitute a "memorandum  of agreement"  for
recording  purposes  immediately  upon execution of this Option  Agreement.  Any
party,  at its  expense,  shall  have the right to  record  such  memorandum  of
agreement for the purpose of giving notice of Optionee's rights pursuant to this
Option Agreement.  This Option Agreement shall not be recorded.

                        RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

                  THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made
and entered into as of the 18th day of June,  1996, by and between THE HOMESTEAD
OF GARDEN CITY, L.C., a Kansas limited  liability  company having an address c/o
The Homestead Company, L.C., 155 North Market, Suite 910, Wichita, Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr.  Jack West,  as landlord  ("Landlord"),  and  INTEGRATED  LIVING
COMMUNITIES  AT GARDEN CITY,  INC., a Delaware  corporation  having an office at
10065 Red Run Boulevard, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117, as tenant ("Tenant").

                           W I T N E S S E T H: That;
                           -------------------
                  WHEREAS,  Landlord  and Tenant are parties to a certain  Lease
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Lease")  covering the Facility known
as "The Homestead at Garden City;" and

                  WHEREAS,  in consideration for Tenant's agreement to lease the
Demised Premises under the Lease, Landlord has agreed to grant Tenant a right of
first  refusal to purchase the Demised  Premises  described in the Lease,  which
includes the Land described on Exhibit A hereto.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including,
without limitation,  the rents and mutual covenants and agreements  contained in
the Lease, the parties agree as follows:

                  1.  Grant of Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises under the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2.  Notice of  Offers.  If at any time  during  the Lease Term
Landlord  receives a bona fide written  Offer (as  hereinafter  defined) for the
sale of the Demised  Premises  from any third  person or entity  which  Landlord
desires to accept,  Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Offer in writing, which
notification (the "Notice") shall contain a copy of the bona fide written Offer.
For purposes of this  Agreement,  an "Offer"  shall mean any written  instrument
setting forth the terms  pursuant to which such third party proposes to purchase
the Demised Premises,  including,  without  limitation,  non-binding  letters of
intent.

                  3.  Exercise  of Right of First  Refusal.  Tenant  shall  have
twenty (20) days after  receipt of the Notice in which to elect to purchase  the
Demised  Premises on the same terms and  conditions  as those  contained  in the
Offer;  provided,  however,  that the  purchase  price  payable by Tenant or its
designee  shall be the  purchase  price set  forth in the Offer or the  purchase
price that Tenant is required to pay under the Option  Agreement,  whichever  is
less. Such election shall be made by written notice to Landlord,  accompanied by
a check in the amount of the deposit set forth in the Offer,  if any, and within
thirty (30) days  thereafter the parties shall enter into a formal  contract for
the sale of the  Demised  Premises  containing  all terms of the  Offer  made to
Landlord,  except  as  hereinabove  set  forth and  except  as the  parties  may
otherwise mutually agree. If Tenant fails to give


                                       -1-

<PAGE>



the notice or tender the payment,  or if Tenant fails to enter into the contract
of sale as provided  herein,  Landlord shall have the right to accept the Offer,
but shall not accept any other offer at a lower  price,  or on terms  materially
more  favorable to the third party  purchaser  than that contained in the Offer,
without first again granting  Tenant the right to purchase the Demised  Premises
as aforesaid. In the event Landlord does not accept the Offer within ninety (90)
days after Tenant  fails to exercise its right of first  refusal with respect to
the Demised Premises as granted herein,  or within ninety (90) days after Tenant
notifies Landlord that it declines to exercise its right of first refusal, or if
the  contract  with the third  party is  thereafter  terminated  for any reason,
Landlord  shall again give Tenant the right to purchase the Demised  Premises as
set forth herein before accepting the Offer or any other bona fide written offer
of any third party.

                  4. Transfer of Ownership  Interests by Landlord.  The right of
first refusal contained herein shall not be applicable to transfers of ownership
interests in Landlord provided that a majority interest in Landlord continues to
be held in the aggregate by the members of Landlord which or who were members on
the Commencement Date of the Lease.

                  5.   Notices.   All  notices,   requests,   demands  or  other
communications  required or permitted  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and  shall  be  either  personally  delivered  evidenced  by a  signed  receipt,

                  7.       Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended at any time

provided for herein,  Landlord and Tenant  expressly agree that,  subject to the

                           TERM, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL
                           ---------------------------

                  2.1 Term.  The term of this Sublease  shall  commence at 12:01
a.m.,  local  time,  on June 1, 1996 (the  "Effective  Date").  The term of this
Sublease  shall run from the  Effective  Date and  terminate at 12:00  midnight,

from the  Effective  Date as defined in Section  2.1 of the Lease (the  "Initial
Term"),  unless sooner  terminated,  extended or renewed as provided in Sections
2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof.

                  2.2  Extension of the Initial  Term. In the event the Lease is
extended  pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Lease, then the Initial Term of this
Sublease  shall be extended for an equal number of additional  lease years (such
additional  periods are  referred to  individually  as the  "Extended  Term" and
collectively as the "Extended Terms").  Such Extended Terms shall begin upon the
expiration of the Initial Term or any prior  Extended  Term,  with such Extended
Terms under the same terms and conditions of the Lease and this Sublease, except
as otherwise stated therein and herein.

                  2.3 Renewal Terms.  Upon the expiration of the Initial Term or
any Extended Term under the Lease and if no Tenant Event of Default exists under
this  Sublease,  Tenant  is hereby  granted  (i) one (1)  option  to renew  this
Sublease  for an  additional  period  of seven  (7)  years  and (ii)  three  (3)
successive  options to renew this Sublease for an additional  period of five (5)
years for each such option,  such renewal term(s) to begin respectively upon the
expiration  of  the  prior  term(s)  (such  renewal   periods  are  referred  to
collectively  as the  "Renewal  Terms," and  individually  each as the  "Renewal
Term"),  with each  Renewal  Term  under the same terms and  conditions  of this
Sublease,  except as otherwise  stated herein.  Tenant may exercise its right to
exercise the aforesaid  options by providing  written notice in each instance to
Landlord, Litchfield and Lender (in accordance with Section 15.1 hereof) no less
than fifteen (15) months prior to the  expiration of the Initial Term, or if the
Initial Term is extended  pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof,  nine (9) months prior
to the expiration of the Extended Term, or if this Sublease is renewed  pursuant
to this Section  2.3,  nine (9) months  prior to the  expiration  of any Renewal
Term;  provided,   however,  Landlord  shall  have  complied  with  the  renewal
provisions set forth in the Lease with respect to each such Renewal Term.

                                     RENTAL
                                     ------

                  3.1 Base Rental.  Rent shall commence on the Effective Date of
this Sublease. The monthly payments of Rent provided for herein shall be paid by
Tenant in advance,  without notice or demand,  on the first day of each month in
equal monthly installments throughout the Lease Year, except as otherwise stated
herein.  The Rent for the calendar month during which Rent shall begin to accrue
and for the last calendar  month of the Term of this Sublease  shall be prorated
based upon the  actual  number of days in such  month,  if  necessary.  All Rent
payments  shall be paid to Landlord at the address stated in Section 15.1 hereof
or to such  other  person,  firm or  corporation  or at such  other  address  as
Landlord  may  designate  by notice in writing to Tenant.  For  purposes of this
Article III and as otherwise  provided for in this Sublease,  capitalized  terms
used  herein  shall have the  meanings  assigned  to them in Section 3.2 hereof,
unless otherwise previously defined or stated herein.

                             Tenant  agrees to pay Landlord as rent (the "Rent")
for each Lease Year all of the amounts  payable by Landlord to Litchfield and to
Lender (on behalf of  Litchfield)  as provided for in Article III and Article IV
of the Lease.

                             For  the  period  from  the  Effective  Date to and
including August 31, 1996, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $311,163.

                             Beginning  September  1, 1996 and  during the first
Lease Year of this  Sublease,  Tenant shall pay  Landlord the sum of  $1,244,652
(the  "First  Year  Rent").  Within  thirty (30) days after the end of the first
Lease Year,  the First Year Rent shall be reviewed by Landlord to  determine  if
the sum accurately represents the amount paid by Landlord under the Lease during
the first  Lease  Year.  If the First Year Rent is less than the amount  paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then  Tenant  shall pay such  additional  amount to
Landlord  as Rent under this  Sublease  within  five (5) days of written  notice
thereof by Landlord  of the amount owed by Tenant.  If the First Year Rent is in
excess of the amount paid by Landlord under the Lease, then such amount shall be
credited  to Tenant as partial  payment  of Rent in the second  Lease Year under
this Sublease.

                             Beginning  in the  second  Lease  Year  and for all
Lease  Years  thereafter  during the Term of this  Sublease  and until the Lease
Termination Date, the Rent under this Sublease for each such Lease Year shall be
the amount paid by  Landlord  under the Lease for the prior Lease Year under the
Lease.  Landlord  shall provide Tenant written notice within ten (10) days prior
to the  beginning  of each Lease Year under this  Sublease of the amount of Rent

                                        5

<PAGE>


that Tenant will be obligated to pay Landlord under this Sublease for such Lease
Year.  Within  thirty (30) days after the end of each Lease Year during the Term
of this  Sublease,  the prior  Lease  Year's Rent under this  Sublease  shall be
reviewed by Landlord to determine if the sum  accurately  represents  the amount
paid by Landlord under the Lease for such Lease Year. If the Rent paid by Tenant
during  such Lease Year under  this  Sublease  was less than the amount  paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then  Tenant  shall pay such  additional  amount to
Landlord  as Rent under this  Sublease  within  five (5) days of written  notice
thereof by  Landlord  of the amount  owed by Tenant.  If the Rent paid by Tenant
during such Lease Year under this  Sublease  was in excess of the amount paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then such  amount  shall be  credited  to Tenant as
partial  payment  of Rent in the  following  Lease  Year  under  this  Sublease;
provided,  however,  that if such  credit  occurs at the end of the Term of this
Sublease, then Landlord shall be obligated to pay such excess amount to Tenant.

prevent such sale. In no event, and under no circumstances,  shall Tenant permit

compliance  with all applicable  rules,  regulations,  laws,  statutes,  orders,
ordinances  and  requirements,   and  will  maintain  its   certifications   for
reimbursement  and  licensure,   and  its  accreditation,   if  compliance  with

                  6.2 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall use its reasonable best
efforts and at its sole cost and  expense,  to get the  Premises  into  material
compliance,  and Tenant shall operate the Premises in material  compliance  with

times and with the least disturbance reasonably necessary,  Landlord, Litchfield
and Lender (or their  authorized  designee) may inspect the Premises or view the
Premises  with existing or  prospective  mortgagees,  prospective  purchasers or
prospective tenants or sub-tenants.  Except in cases of emergency or when Tenant
is in default under this  Sublease,  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender (or their
authorized designee) shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice before entering
the  Premises;  provided,  however,  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender (or their
authorized  designee) shall not infringe on Tenant's normal and customary rights
of quiet  enjoyment.  The  consent of Tenant (not to be  unreasonably  withheld)
shall be  obtained  prior to  commencement  of major  repairs,  improvements  or
alterations  to the  Premises  by  Landlord or  Litchfield  and,  if  reasonably
possible, such work shall be done at such time or times as will not unreasonably
interfere  with the  operations  of Tenant.  The exercise of any right  reserved

not render Landlord, Litchfield and Lender liable to Tenant or any other person.

                  6.6 Reports to Landlord and Litchfield. At least quarterly and
annually,  Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and Litchfield a written report,  in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Litchfield, regarding
the operation,  management and financial performance of the Premises, including,
but not limited to,  information  as to the Net  Revenues for the  Premises,  as
defined in Section 3.2(g) of the Lease.

                  6.7  Additional  Tenant  Obligations.  During  the term of the
Note,  Tenant  shall  perform the  obligations  set forth on Exhibit D hereto as
required therein,  unless Landlord and Litchfield  otherwise consent in writing;
provided, however, that in the event of a refinance, amendment,  modification or
supplement of the Loan (a "Loan  Refinance")  evidenced by a note,  Tenant shall
perform and  observe  such  covenants,  duties and  obligations  required by the
instruments evidencing the security or pertaining to such Loan Refinance.

7.1 Permanent or Temporary  Taking.  In the event notice of the taking of all or
any portion of the Premises on a permanent  or  temporary  basis by any federal,
state,  local  or  quasi-governmental  agency  or other  authority,  by means of
condemnation or threat of  condemnation  is received by Landlord,  Litchfield or
Tenant,  then such party shall  promptly  provide to the other parties notice of
such proposed or threatened taking. Upon the occurrence of such taking,  whether
by  condemnation,  threat of condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation,
the terms and conditions of this Article VII shall govern and control.

                  7.2 Permanent Taking. In the event of the taking of the entire
Premises or so much thereof that the remainder of the Premises cannot reasonably
be utilized as a health care  facility and the Lease is  terminated  as a result
thereof,  then this Sublease  shall  terminate as of the effective  date of such
taking by the governmental or quasi-governmental authority.

                  7.3 Temporary Taking. In the event that all or any part of the
Premises   shall  be  taken  for  a   temporary   use  by  a   governmental   or
quasi-governmental  authority,  all such  compensation  for the temporary taking
received  by Landlord  under the Lease or Tenant  under this  Sublease  shall be
payable to Landlord.  Tenant's  obligation to pay Rent shall continue under this
Sublease;  provided,  however,  Rent shall be reduced or  adjusted to the extent
Landlord's obligation to pay Rent under the Lease is modified.

                  7.4  Partial  Taking.  In  the  event  that a  portion  of the
Premises shall be taken by a governmental  or  quasi-governmental  authority but
the  remainder  of the  Premises  can  reasonably  be  utilized as a health care
facility, then this Sublease shall continue and, except as otherwise provided in
this Section 8.4,  Tenant shall  continue to perform all terms and conditions of
this Sublease as if such condemnation or taking shall not have occurred. Neither
party shall have any right to terminate  the Sublease as a result of such taking
or  condemnation.  Tenant's  obligation  to pay Rent shall  continue  under this
Sublease;  provided,  however,  Rent shall be reduced or  adjusted to the extent
Landlord's  obligation  to pay Rent under the Lease is modified.  If  applicable
under  the  Lease,  to  the  extent  such  compensation  is not  applied  to the
indebtedness  secured by the Facility,  all compensation paid in respect of such
taking  shall belong to and be the property of  Litchfield;  provided,  however,
that  to the  extent  such  shall  not  reduce  the  award  or  compensation  to
Litchfield,  Tenant shall be entitled to seek and maintain an independent action
or claim in the  condemnation  or eminent domain  proceedings  for its equipment
(other than the Leased Equipment) or signs, moving expenses, relocation costs or
any other  allowances  to which  Tenant  may be legally  entitled.  In any event
Landlord  and  Litchfield  shall  not  be  liable  to  Tenant  for  any  damage,
compensation or award.

                     ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS AND TRADE FIXTURES
                     ---------------------------------------

8.1 Repairs by Tenant  Generally.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  shall
inspect, maintain and repair the improvements constituting the Premises so as to
keep the Leased  Improvements  and interior  decorations in good repair and in a
safe condition,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  free from dirt, water,  snow,
ice,  refuse,  trash and obstruction and in material  compliance with applicable
laws. This  obligation to repair shall include,  but not be limited to, Tenant's
signs,  glass,  any air  conditioning,  heating,  electrical,  parking areas and
driveways,  plumbing systems,  roof, walls and all interior  repairs.  Except as
otherwise provided for herein,  Tenant shall not alter any part of the structure
of the  Premises  or  change  or alter any  permanent  improvement  in or on the
Premises  or make  additions  thereto  without  the  prior  written  consent  of
Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their authorized  designee),  which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided, however, that no such alterations
or additions shall adversely  affect the fair market value or useful life of the
Premises.  However,  Tenant may make such  alterations  without  Landlord's  and
Litchfield's  consent if such alterations have an aggregate cost of no more than
$1,500,000, so long as Tenant gives a copy of the plans to Landlord,  Litchfield
and Lender (or their  authorized  designee) within ten (10) days prior to making
the  alterations.  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender reserve the right to impose
reasonable requirements as a condition of granting their consent to any proposed
alterations in excess of $1,500,000, including, without limitation, requirements
that  Tenant (a) submit for  Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and  Lender's  (or their
authorized  designee's) prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld)  plans  and  specifications   prepared  by  licensed   architects  and
engineers,  (b) submit for Landlord's  and  Litchfield's  prior approval  

                                       12

<PAGE>


(which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld) the names,  addresses,  and
general  information of all  contractors,  subcontractors,  and  suppliers,  (c)
obtain,  arrange  for and/or  post  necessary  permits,  bonds,  and  additional
insurance, (d) submit contractor,  subcontractor, and supplier lien waivers, and
(e) materially comply with such other  requirements as Landlord,  Litchfield and
Lender (or their  authorized  designee) may  reasonably  impose  concerning  the
manner in which the work shall be done and the other  aspects  of the work.  Any
alteration or repair work shall be performed in a good and  workmanlike  manner,
with quality  materials,  materially in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their authorized designee). Any
alteration  or repair work shall be completed so as to cause the least  material
interference at the Premises,  in material  compliance with all applicable laws,
permits, licenses, and regulations. Tenant shall use its reasonable best efforts
to keep the Premises free from any mechanic's,  materialman's,  or similar liens
and  encumbrances  and any claims  therefor in connection with any alteration or
repair  work.  Tenant  shall  give  Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender (or their
authorized  designee) notice at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the
alteration or repair work, to afford  Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their
authorized  designee) the opportunity to post or record  appropriate  notices of
nonresponsibility.  Tenant shall remove any lien, claim, or encumbrance, by bond
or otherwise,  within  thirty (30) days after such claim is asserted.  If Tenant
fails to do so,  Landlord,  Litchfield or Lender may pay the amount or take such
other action as Landlord,  Litchfield  or Lender deems  reasonably  necessary to
remove such  claim,  lien,  or  encumbrance  after  investigating  the  validity
thereof. The amount so paid and costs incurred by Landlord, Litchfield or Lender
shall be  payable  by Tenant  on  demand,  together  with  detailed  information
regarding such amount. Nothing in this Sublease shall authorize Tenant to do any
act which shall  subject  Litchfield's  title to the  Premises  or its  interest
therein to any such liens, claims, or encumbrances.  Any such liens shall attach
solely  to  Tenant's  interest  in the  Premises  and shall in all  respects  be
subordinate to Litchfield's title to the Premises.  Tenant shall not do anything
or permit anything to be done upon the Premises which will adversely  affect the
safety or security of the  Premises,  or which will increase the rate of fire or
casualty insurance upon the improvements or their contents,  without Landlord's,
Litchfield's and Lender's (or their  authorized  designee)  written consent,  or
which  will  cause  structural  damage to the  Premises  or to any  improvements
therein.  Except for trade fixtures, any improvements made to the Premises shall
become the property of Landlord, free of charge, if affixed to the realty.

                  8.2 Quality and  Promptness  of Repairs.  All repairs  made by
Tenant shall be made  promptly  when  necessary;  shall be at least equal to the
original  construction  in the quality of materials and workmanship and shall be
done in full compliance with all applicable building codes,  ordinances,  rules,
regulations  and statutes of the city,  county,  state and federal  governments;
provided,  however,  Landlord  or  Litchfield  shall  have the right to  perform
necessary repairs for and on behalf of Tenant, and charge Tenant for the cost of
such repairs.

                  8.3 Liability of Landlord and  Litchfield.  Landlord shall not
be liable to Tenant or any other person or corporation,  including employees and
invitees,  for death or 


                                       13

injury  to the  person  or for loss or  damage  to  property  caused  by  theft,
vandalism,  water, rain, snow, frost,  fire, storm or accident,  or by breakage,
stoppage,  or leakage of water,  gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,  upon,
about or adjacent to the Premises or by any other cause,  except  damages caused
by Litchfield's  breach of the Lease,  Landlord's  breach of this Sublease or by
the gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct  of Landlord,  Litchfield or their
employees or agents.

                                      -----

                  Tenant  shall have the right to place upon the  Premises  such
sign or signs as it may desire for advertising  purposes,  at Tenant's sole cost
and expense. All signs shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local
statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. Tenant shall maintain such signs in
a good  state of repair  and shall  repair  any  damage to the  Premises  by the
erection,  maintenance  or  removal  of such  signs at the  termination  of this
Sublease.  Upon the  termination of this Sublease,  all signs of Tenant shall be
removed in accordance with Article IX relating to trade fixtures.

                    ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBORDINATION
                    ----------------------------------------

                  10.1  Assignment  or  Subletting  by Tenant.  Tenant shall not
assign this Sublease or any interest herein,  or sublet the Premises or any part
thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other
than Tenant and its agents,  employees,  patients and medical staff to occupy or
use the  Premises  or any part  thereof  without  Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and
Lender's  prior written  consent,  if required.  This Section shall not prohibit
assignment to affiliated  entities of Tenant,  co-ventures  or  partnerships  of
which Tenant is a participant  (collectively,  a "Successor Affiliate");  or any
other such entity or successor;  provided,  however, that such affiliate entity,
co-venture or partnership  shall be and remain at least fifty-one  percent (51%)
owned or  beneficially  owned by Integrated  Living.  Upon the occurrence of any
assignment or subletting to a Successor Affiliate, Tenant shall promptly provide
to Landlord and  Litchfield  written  notice of such  assignment or  subletting,
together with a copy of all  assignments,  transfers,  subleases,  financial and
ownership   information  regarding  such  Successor  Affiliate  and  such  other
information  reasonably  requested by Landlord and Litchfield.  Any unauthorized
assignment or sublease  shall be voidable and shall  constitute a breach of this
Sublease at Landlord's or Litchfield's option.

                  Landlord,   Litchfield  and  Lender  shall  not   unreasonably
withhold or delay their consent to  assignment  or subletting of this  Sublease.
Without  limitation of Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and Lender's right to withhold
their consent, Landlord, Litchfield and Lender may 

                                       14

<PAGE>


withhold their consent and be deemed reasonable  hereunder if one or more of the
following applicable facts exist:

                             (a)    Assignee  or  sublessee  does  not  agree in
                                    writing to be bound by all terms, conditions
                                    and  obligations  under  the  Lease and this
                                    Sublease.

                             (b)    Assignee's  or  sublessee's  proposed use of
                                    the  Premises  is not  permitted  by the use
                                    provisions of the Lease and this Sublease.

                             (c)    The proposed  assignee or sublessee does not
                                    promptly obtain licensure approval after the
                                    assignment  or sublease in  accordance  with
                                    applicable   Florida  statutes,   rules  and
                                    regulations.

                             It  shall  not be  unreasonable  to  withhold  said
consent if Tenant is in default of this Sublease at such time.

                  In the event  Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender refuse to grant
such consent and if Tenant wishes to contest  Landlord's and Lender's  decision,
then  Tenant's  sole  remedy  shall  be  for  injunctive   relief  and  specific
performance  and not for any form of damages or costs,  unless  such  refusal to
grant consent is found to be arbitrary  and  capricious  by  unappealable  final
decision of a court of competent  jurisdiction.  Any such assignment or sublease
shall be subject to the terms of the Lease and this  Sublease  and Tenant  shall
remain  primarily  liable  to  Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender  for the  full
performance of the duties and obligations under this Sublease.

                  10.2 Assignment by Landlord.  Landlord shall not sell,  assign
or transfer this  Sublease or any interest  herein  unless  permitted  under the
Lease or this Sublease.

                             Any  unauthorized  assignment shall be voidable and
shall constitute a breach of this Sublease at Tenant's option.

                             Tenant shall be under no obligation to any assignee
of Landlord  (other than  Litchfield  and Lender)  except upon written notice of
such assignment from Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender.  Upon notice to Tenant of
any such  assignment,  the Rent  payable  by Tenant  which are  subject  to this
assignment shall be paid to or upon the written order of the assignee.

                  10.3  Subordination  and  Attornment.  This Sublease  shall be
subject and  subordinate to the lien  contemplated by the Loan Agreement and any
lien  securing  indebtedness  hereafter  to be  secured by the  Premises  at the
election  of any  owner of the  Premises,  and to all  renewals,  modifications,
amendments,  consolidations,   replacements  and  extensions  thereof,  subject,
however, to the covenants and conditions  contained in this Section 


                                       15

<PAGE>


11.3. Tenant shall execute and deliver to the owner of the Premises,  Lender and
any other  holder of secured  indebtedness,  documents  which may be  reasonably
required by any owner of the  Premises  in  confirmation  of such  subordination
promptly upon Landlord's or Litchfield's written request.  Further, Tenant, as a
part of any  subordination  agreement,  if  requested,  shall agree to attorn to
Lender and any other holder of secured  indebtedness in the event of foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender and
any such other lender. In consideration of Tenant's execution of a subordination
and/or attornment  agreement,  Landlord or Litchfield shall cooperate and assist
Tenant in obtaining a  non-disturbance  agreement from Lender and any such other
holder of secured  indebtedness.  In any event,  Tenant  shall be  obligated  to
continue to pay Rent and comply with all other terms of this Sublease if allowed
to remain in possession  after any  foreclosure or deed in lieu of  foreclosure;
provided,  however,  if any  Lender  or other  holder  of  secured  indebtedness
forecloses  on the lien  contemplated  by the Loan  Agreement  or any other lien
securing  indebtedness in respect of the Premises, or the Premises are purchased
at a foreclosure  sale,  Tenant shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant has met
and continues to meet all its requirements  under this Sublease.  Except for the
lien  securing  indebtedness  contemplated  by the Loan  Agreement,  Landlord or
Litchfield  may not place any other lien securing  indebtedness  on the Premises
without the written consent of Tenant.

                  10.4 Sale by Litchfield. Any sale, assignment or conveyance of
the Premises shall be made subject to the Lease,  this Sublease and the Purchase
Option  Agreement.  If the Premises is sold to Landlord pursuant to the Purchase
Option Agreement,  then this Sublease shall terminate on the date of acquisition
of the Premises by Landlord.

                  10.5 Estoppel  Certificates.  Tenant, upon request by Landlord
or  Litchfield,  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  or  Litchfield,  in
contemplation  of  the  sale  or  mortgage  of the  Premises,  and  Landlord  or
Litchfield  upon  request by Tenant  shall  execute  and  deliver to Tenant,  in
contemplation  of an  assignment  of the  Lease or this  Sublease,  an  estoppel
certificate which shall, at a minimum,  state, to the extent true, the following
facts:  (a) that this  Sublease is a true and correct copy of this  Sublease and
that it has not been  modified or terminated  except as set forth,  (b) that the
Rent in this  Sublease  has not been  modified,  (c) that  there are no  outside
agreements that would affect the beneficiary of the estoppel  certificate or any
of their rights under this  Sublease or to the  Premises,  (d) that there are no
disputes  existing as to this Sublease,  (e) that Landlord has complied with the
terms of this Sublease to the date of the  certificate,  (f) that there has been
no Rent paid more than  thirty  (30) days in  advance,  and (g) any other  terms
reasonably acceptable to Tenant or reasonably required by any mortgagee.

                                    after  the date the Rent is due and  payable

                             (b)    The  failure  of Tenant to pay any other sum
                                    of money payable under this Sublease and the

                                    involuntary   assignment   being  fully  and

                                    after  the   filing  of  any  such  lien  or
                                    encumbrance.

                             (i)    Failure of Tenant or any permitted subtenant
                                    to  provide  evidence  of the  obtaining  or
                                    maintenance   of  any   insurance   coverage
                                    provided  hereunder and the  continuation of
                                    such  failure  for a period of fifteen  (15)
                                    calendar  days after the date of delivery of
                                    written notice thereof from Landlord.

                             (j)    Failure of Tenant or any permitted subtenant
                                    to perform any material covenant, condition,
                                    indemnity  or  obligation  contained in this

                                    thereof from  Landlord;  provided,  however,
                                    that if such failure could not reasonably be
                                    cured  within  such  thirty (30) day period,
                                    then such  thirty  (30) day period  shall be
                                    extended for such additional  period of time
                                    as may be  reasonably  required  in order to
                                    cure  such  failure,  provided  that  Tenant
                                    exercises  reasonable  diligence  in  curing
                                    such failure during and after the expiration
                                    of the initial thirty (30) day period.

                             (k)    Any act of  intentional  material  damage to
                                    the Premises or any common area.

                             (l)    The  occurrence of an Event of Default under

preceding Section,  if any, Landlord,  at its option, and without further demand
or notice,  shall have the  following

rights and remedies in addition to any rights provided by law or equity,  all of
which shall be cumulative:

                  (a)        Perform any  covenant or  obligation  of Tenant and
                             add the cost of the cure to the next installment or
                             installments of the Rent due.

                  (b)        Terminate  the  Sublease  and  Landlord  may make a
                             demand for accrued Rent.

                  (c)        Reenter  the  Premises   without   terminating  the
                             Sublease  and take  possession  of the Premises and
                             any Leased Equipment and Tenant shall remain liable
                             for the equivalent  amount of Rent reserved for the
                             balance  of the  Term,  as and when  due,  less the
                             avails,  if any, of  reletting  the Premises or any
                             part thereof to a third party.  If Landlord  relets
                             the Premises  (either for a term greater than, less
                             than or equal to the unexpired  portion of the Term
                             then in effect  under  the terms of this  Sublease)
                             for an  aggregate  rent  during the portion of such
                             new sublease  which is less than the Rent and other
                             charges  which Tenant would pay  hereunder for such
                             period, Landlord may immediately upon the making of
                             such  new   sublease,   sue  for  and  recover  the
                             difference  between the aggregate  rental  provided
                             for in said new  sublease  for the  portion  of the
                             term coextensive with the Term then in effect under
                             this Sublease, and the Rent and other charges which
                             Tenant  would  pay   hereunder   for  such  period,
                             together with any reasonable  expenses,  including,
                             without  limitation,  attorneys' fees and expenses,
                             to  which   Landlord  may  be  put  for   brokerage
                             commissions,  placing the  Premises  in  tenantable
                             condition,  and other  related  charges or expenses
                             accrued  prior to the new  sublease  or  otherwise;
                             provided,  however,  the aggregate  rental provided
                             for in said  new  sublease  is  reasonable  for the
                             Premises.  If such new  sublease or tenancy is made
                             for a shorter  term than the balance of the Term of
                             this Sublease,  any such action brought by Landlord
                             to collect the  deficit  for that period  shall not
                             bar  Landlord  from  thereafter  suing for any loss
                             accruing  during the balance of the unexpired  Term
                             of this Sublease. Landlord shall use its reasonable
                             efforts  to   negotiate   and   obtain   terms  and
                             conditions  for any  reletting of the Premises that
                             are  commercially  reasonable  terms and conditions
                             under the circumstances.  Landlord shall also abide
                             by  the  real  property  laws   applicable  to  the
                             Premises in respect of  reletting  the Premises and
                             mitigating the liability and  obligations of Tenant
                             under this subsection (c).

                  (d)        Neither  (i)  the   termination  of  this  Sublease
                             pursuant to subsection  (b); (ii) the  repossession
                             of the  Premises;  (iii) the  failure of  Landlord,

                                       19

                             notwithstanding  reasonable best efforts,  to relet
                             the  Premises;  (iv)  the  reletting  of all or any
                             portion thereof; nor (v) the failure of Landlord to
                             collect or receive  any  rentals  due upon any such
                             reletting,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability
                             and  obligations  hereunder,  all  of  which  shall
                             otherwise    survive    any    such    termination,
                             repossession   or  reletting.   Any  payments  with
                             respect to rental, taxes, insurance and maintenance
                             of the Premises  made by any  subsequent  tenant of
                             the  Premises,  during the time Tenant shall remain
                             liable to Landlord  under this  Sublease,  shall to
                             the extent to such  payment  relieve  Tenant of its
                             liability  for that payment  under this  subsection
                             (d).

                  (e)        Landlord may enforce,  by action or otherwise,  any
                             other term or covenant of this Sublease.

                  (f)        At the option of Landlord,  the rights and remedies
                             of this Section 12.2 shall apply to this  Sublease,
                             the Colorado Sublease or both.

                  Tenant   knowingly   and   voluntarily   waives   demand   for
performance,  notice to quit and any and all rights of  redemption  which Tenant
may now have or hereafter acquire pursuant to statute or court decision,  except
for notice as provided in this Article.

                  Landlord  shall have the right to cure any Event of Default by
Tenant without giving notice to Tenant in the event of any emergency.

                  Landlord's  failure to insist on the strict performance of and
compliance with each condition in this Sublease shall neither  constitute nor be
construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's  rights under this
Article or by law, nor  constitute nor be construed as consisting of a waiver by
Landlord of a second or subsequent Event of Default by Tenant of same condition.
Acceptance of past due Rent or other sums due shall in no way act as a waiver of
Tenant's Event of Default nor prevent  Landlord from proceeding as above stated.
In the event litigation is commenced,  it shall not be necessary for Landlord to
notify  Tenant  of any  additional  occurrences  of  Event of  Default  prior to
proceeding as permitted.

                  11.3  Default  by  Landlord.   If  Landlord  defaults  in  the
performance  of any condition or obligation in this Sublease and if Tenant gives
Landlord notice of the default  stating the default  complained of and referring
to the Article and Section in this Sublease relied on by Tenant,  Landlord shall
have thirty (30) calendar  days after  receiving  written  notice from Tenant to
undertake  the cure of any such default and shall  thereafter  cure same in good
faith, with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and in good faith  pursue the cure as provided  for herein,  then Tenant may sue
Landlord for its damages,  and 

                                       20

<PAGE>

may further obtain  injunctive  relief if necessary and permitted as a matter of
law to maintain operation of the Facility or conform with applicable law.

                  Whenever  this  Sublease  requires  any act  (other  than  the
payment of a liquidated sum of money, e.g., rental payments,  taxes,  utilities,
etc.) by  Landlord  or Tenant  within a  certain  period of time or by a certain
time,  the time for the  performance of such act shall be extended by the period
of any delay caused by war, strikes,  lockouts,  civil commotion,  unpreventable
material  shortages,  casualties,  acts of God or other  similar  conditions  or
events  beyond the  control of the  obligated  party;  provided,  however,  that
written  notice of such delay and the cause and  circumstances  thereof shall be
given to the  other  party  immediately  after  commencement  of such  delay and
knowledge of such delay becoming known by the obligated party.

                                   BANKRUPTCY
                                   ----------

                  If an Event of Default  described in Article  11.1(g)  occurs,
then  Landlord may  terminate  this  Sublease by giving  notice to Tenant of its
intention  so to do;  provided,  however,  neither  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  an
assignment for the benefit of creditors nor the  appointment of a receiver shall
affect this Sublease or permit its  termination  so long as the covenants on the
part of  Tenant  to be  performed  shall be  performed  by Tenant or a person or
entity  claiming under Tenant.  In the event Rent is not paid as herein provided
after the filing of a petition in  bankruptcy  or any  arrearage  in Rent is not
made whole, this Sublease shall be immediately  terminated and Landlord shall be
free to pursue its remedies set forth in Article XI.

                               DAMAGE TO PREMISES
                               ------------------

                  In the  event  that,  at any  time  during  the  Term  of this
Sublease,  the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements, or other
casualty,  whether or not insured by Tenant,  Tenant  shall  immediately  notify
Landlord  and  Litchfield  in  writing  of the  occurrence  of  such  damage  or
destruction.  This  Sublease  shall not  terminate as a result of such damage or
destruction,  and Tenant  shall,  at its sole cost and  expense,  including  the
proceeds of insurance in respect of such damage or destruction,  if any, repair,
rebuild or restore the Premises to  substantially  the same condition as existed
immediately  prior to the  damage  or  destruction  and in  accordance  with all
applicable  federal,  state and local  building  codes  and  regulations  and is
sufficient  to meet  state  licensure  requirements  for long term  health  care
facilities.  Subject to the  rights of the  Lender,  the  proceeds,  if any,  of
insurance in respect of such damage or  destruction  shall be made  available to
Tenant for the  prosecution  of such  repair,  rebuilding  or  restoration.  The
repair,  rebuilding or restoration  shall be completed as promptly as reasonably
possible.  Any and all such work shall be  performed  in a good and  workmanlike
manner,  with  quality  materials  and no liens shall  attach to the interest of
Landlord and  Litchfield  as a result 

                                       21

of such  work.  Prior to  undertaking  such  work,  Tenant  shall (a)  submit to
Landlord and  Litchfield for their prior  approval,  which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld,  plans and specifications prepared by licensed architects
and engineers,  (b) submit to Landlord and Litchfield for their prior  approval,
which  approval shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  the names,  addresses and
general information in respect of all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers,
(c) obtain,  arrange for and/or post  necessary  permits,  bonds,  licenses  and
insurance,  (d) submit contractor,  subcontractor and supplier lien waivers, and
(e)  comply  with  such  other  requirements  as  Landlord  and  Litchfield  may
reasonably impose concerning the manner in which the work shall be performed and
other aspects of the work.

                   INSURANCE, SUBROGATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
                   ------------------------------------------

14.1 Comprehensive General Liability and Professional  Liability Insurance to be
Carried by Tenant.  Subject to Tenant's  rights of  self-insurance  set forth in
Section 14.8 hereof, Tenant, before occupying the Premises, at its sole cost and
expense,  shall  cause to be issued  and kept in force  during  the Term and any
Renewal Term, if any, a policy or policies of  comprehensive  general  liability
and professional liability insurance,  including general liability,  malpractice
and property damage, by the terms of which Landlord,  Lender and Tenant shall be
insured against claims for bodily injury,  death and property damage as a result
of an  occurrence  on the  Premises,  with  minimum  combined  single  limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 million aggregate per facility,  with a
$2,000,000 umbrella policy.  Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord,  Litchfield
and  Lender  for any  deficiency  should  insurance  afforded  this  Section  be
insufficient  to satisfy the liability of Tenant under Section 14.5,  including,
without limitation,  the amount of any deductibles  maintained by Tenant, unless
such liability arises from negligence of Landlord or Litchfield.

                  14.2  Certificate of Insurance.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and
expense,  shall carry all  insurance  required by this Article with a company or
companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Litchfield and Lender and qualified
to do business in the state or commonwealth  where the Premises is located.  All
such policies shall bear  endorsements to the effect that Landlord,  Litchfield,
Lender and Tenant are named as additional  insureds as their interest may appear
and Lender shall also be named as loss payee on the fire,  extended coverage and
peril  insurance  provided under Section 14.6 and that all such parties shall be
notified by certified mail, return receipt requested,  not less than thirty (30)
days in advance of any  termination  expiration or cancellation if such coverage
is not replaced  prior to expiration by coverage  complying  with the provisions
herein.

                  Upon  notification  of  such   termination,   cancellation  or
expiration by its insurance carrier, Tenant shall advise Lender,  Litchfield and
Landlord of such termination, 

                                       22

expiration or cancellation  unless such coverage is replaced or Tenant elects to
self-insure in accordance with Section 14.8 hereof.

                  At Landlord's,  Litchfield's or Lender's  request,  Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense,  before commencement of the Term of this Sublease and
upon each renewal of such insurance, shall deliver to and deposit with Landlord,
Litchfield and Lender certificates of insurance for each policy required by this
Article,  and evidence  that,  all current  premiums on such  policies have been
paid. At Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and Lender's  request,  Tenant shall deliver
copies of the applicable policies.

                  Tenant's obligation to carry the insurance provided herein may
be brought  within the coverage of a so-called  "blanket  policy" or policies of
the insurance carrier  maintained by Tenant or Integrated  Living.  The coverage
afforded  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender must not be reduced or diminished by
the blanket policy of insurance,  with an endorsement to that effect provided to
such Landlord, Litchfield and Lender; and the requirements set forth herein must
be otherwise satisfied.

                  All  requirements for Tenant to maintain  insurance  coverages
are  limited  to  what is  available  from  established  insurance  carriers  at
commercially  reasonable  rates.  Upon the  written  request of Tenant,  Lender,
Litchfield  or Landlord may permit,  which  permission  may not be  unreasonably
withheld,  modifications  to the  insurance  otherwise  required by this Section
14.5,  taking into account the cost and  availability of insurance for such risk
and the  effect  of the terms  and  rates of such  insurance  upon the costs and
charges of Tenant for its services.  In determining  whether to approve any such
modification,  Lender, Litchfield or Landlord may rely upon a written evaluation
with respect thereto by an independent  insurance  consultant provided by Tenant
and acceptable to Lender, Litchfield or Landlord.

                  14.3 Adjustments to Insurance  Coverage.  In order to maintain
the same level of coverage that will exist at the  commencement of the Term, the
amounts  and types of coverage  called for herein  shall be subject to review by
Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender  at the end of each  three  (3)  Lease  Years
following the Effective Date of the Lease and, if  appropriate,  the amounts and
types of  coverage  shall be  increased  or  extended to provide the amounts and
types of coverage  that are at least equal to the amounts and types of coverages
carried by prudent  owners and operators of properties  similar to the Premises,
but in no event shall the coverage be less than as required by the terms of this
Article.

                  14.4 Other  Coverage.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,
shall carry and  throughout  the Term of this Sublease  maintain  insurance in a
reasonable amount to provide coverage for loss or damage to or from:

                  (a)        the  Leased  Equipment  for  its  full  replacement
                             value;

                  (b)        explosion  of steam  boilers,  pressure  vessels or
                             similar apparatus;


                                       23

<PAGE>


                  (c)        loss of Rent  during the  period of  reconstruction
                             and the  six (6)  months  following  completion  of
                             reconstruction  after any damage or  destruction of
                             the Premises;

                  (d)        flood   insurance,    windstorm,   and   earthquake
                             insurance,   as  reasonably   required  by  Lender,
                             Litchfield or Landlord; and

                  (e)        Workers Compensation  Insurance, as required by the
                             laws of the state where the Facility is located.

                  14.5 Fire,  Extended Coverage and Additional Perils Insurance.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be issued and kept in force
during  the  Term of this  Sublease,  a policy  or  policies  of fire,  extended
coverage and  additional  perils  insurance by which  Landlord,  Litchfield  and
Lender  shall be  insured  against  loss and  damage by fire,  lightning,  hail,
earthquakes and sprinkler  damage resulting from damage to or destruction of the
Leased  Improvements,   including  equipment,  furnishings  and  other  tangible
personal property used in connection with operation of the Premises,  located on
the Premises and the Leased  Equipment,  if any, for its full replacement  value
(exclusive of land) as established by the insurance carrier.

                  14.6  Subrogation   Rights.   Tenant,  and  for  each  person,
organization,  association  and  corporation  claiming under or through  Tenant,
herein waives, releases and discharges Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender from all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, demands, claims and liabilities arising in any
manner, excluding negligence of Landlord,  Litchfield or Lender, that is covered
by  policies  of  insurance  now or  hereafter  existing  during the Term or any
Renewal Term (if any). However, this release is applicable only to the extent of
the maximum proceeds paid under each applicable  policy of insurance,  excluding
applicable deductibles.

                  If the release  and  discharge  of  Landlord,  Litchfield  and
Lender by  Tenant,  as  contained  in this  Article,  to the  extent of  maximum
proceeds  paid  under  each  applicable  policy of  insurance,  contravenes  any
applicable  statute or  decision  with  regard to  exculpatory  agreements,  the
liability  of Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender shall be deemed not released but
shall be secondary to all of the insurance  proceeds paid under such  applicable
policy of insurance.

                  14.7 Litigation Cooperation. Tenant shall fully cooperate with
Landlord  and Lender  and/or their  counsel in respect of  providing  applicable
information,  testimony or  documentation  reasonably  necessary  for  Landlord,
Litchfield and Lender to negotiate, litigate and/or settle any and all causes of
action or similar matters in respect of the Premises.  Upon  termination of this
Sublease,  Tenant shall fully  cooperate  with  Landlord and  Litchfield  and/or
management  retained by Landlord and Litchfield in respect of relicensure and/or
recertification  of  Landlord  and  Litchfield  and/or  management  retained  by
Landlord and Litchfield.

                  14.8  Self-Insurance.  Notwithstanding  any  provision in this
Article  XIV to the  contrary,  so  long  as the  amount  of  self-insurance  is
comparable  to the amount of insurance  maintained by Tenant with respect to the
Premises as of the  Effective  Date of this Sublease or generally by entities in
Tenant's business with respect to similar Facilities,  Tenant may satisfy all or
a portion  of the  insurance  requirements  set forth in  Section  14.1  through
self-insurance   by  Tenant  or  Integrated  Living  (by  means  of  deductible,
self-insured retentions or excess reinsurance).

                  14.9 Indemnification of Landlord and Litchfield.  Tenant shall
indemnify  and  hold  harmless  Landlord  and  Litchfield  and  their  officers,
directors,  shareholders,  employees,  agents  and  assigns  (collectively,  the
"Landlord Parties") from any and all liabilities,  obligations, losses, demands,
judgments,    actions,   suits,   causes   of   action,   claims,   proceedings,
investigations,   citations,  matters,  damages,  penalties,  sanctions,  costs,
expenses,   and  disbursements   (including,   without  limitation,   reasonable
attorneys'  and  consultants'  fees and  expenses),  whether  or not  subject to
litigation (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Claims") of any kind or
character imposed upon,  arising out of, in connection with,  incurred or in any
way attributed or relating to the following:

                  (a)        the use,  operation,  possession,  or management of

                             Sublease until the Lease Termination Date;

                             contained in this Sublease;

                  (c)        any  and  all  Claims  accruing  on  or  after  the
                             Effective  Date of this  Sublease  relating  to any

                             including,  but not limited to, (i) the termination
                             or  discharge  of any  current or former  employee,

                             Sublease,  (ii) Claims  under  federal,  state,  or
                             local laws,  rules or  regulations,  accruing on or

                  (e)        the  violation  of  any  Environmental  Law  or the
                             existence,  presence  or Release (as defined in the
                             Facilities Agreement) of any Hazardous Material (as
                             defined in the Facilities Agreement) (collectively,
                             "Environmental  Liability") where the Environmental
                             Liability  is  based  on an  occurrence,  event  or
                             condition  at or relating to the  Facility  that is
                             attributable to the use,  possession,  operation or
                             management  of the  Facility by Tenant on and after
                             the Effective  Date of this Sublease and during the
                             term of this Sublease  until the Lease  Termination
                             Date; provided,  however,  that the indemnification
                             obligation  of Tenant  hereunder  shall be  limited
                             solely   to   Claims   (of  any  kind  and   nature
                             whatsoever)  for (i)  remediation  of and  response
                             actions  related  to such  Environmental  Liability
                             (including,  without limitation, any such Claim for
                             cleanup, treatment,  corrective action, compliance,
                             financial    assurance,    restoration,    removal,
                             abatement,       encapsulation,        containment,
                             revegetation,  monitoring, sampling, investigation,
                             study,  assessment,   and  the  protection  of,  or
                             mitigative  action  related to,  wildlife,  aquatic
                             species, wetlands, vegetation, flora and fauna) and
                             (ii) any Claim  asserted by a third party  relating
                             to such Environmental Liability (including, without
                             limitation,  any Claim involving  natural resources
                             damages,  property  damage,  payment  of  fines  or
                             penalties  or  settlement  amounts,  or  any  other
                             action or cause of action by, or  obligation  to, a
                             third party  (including,  without  limitation,  any
                             Claim for personal injury or death, contribution or
                             cost  recovery)).  Notwithstanding  anything to the
                             contrary in this  subsection (e), in the event that
                             any Environmental Liability accrues or arises on or
                             after the  Effective  Date of this  Sublease but is
                             not attributable to the use, possession,  operation
                             or management  of the Facility by Tenant,  then all
                             costs and expenses associated with such Claim shall
                             be shared  equally  by Tenant and  Litchfield.  All
                             Claims under this  subsection (e) shall be resolved
                             in  accordance  with  the  procedure  set  forth in
                             Section 15.7(d) of the Facilities Agreement.

                  Tenant  further  covenants  and agrees to defend the  Landlord
Parties on account of said Claims and to pay any  judgment  against the Landlord
Parties,  or any other amount as indicated in this Section 14.9,  along with all
reasonable costs and expenses relative to any such Claims,  including attorneys'
fees  and  expenses;   provided,  however,  that  the  Landlord  Parties  shall,
nevertheless,  have the right, if they so elect, to participate (with counsel of
their choosing, which counsel must be approved by Tenant, which approval may not
be unreasonably  withheld) in the defense of any such Claim in which they may be
a party without  relieving  Tenant of the  obligation to defend the same. To the
extent applicable, the Landlord Parties covenant not to settle or compromise any
Claim under this section  without the written  consent of Tenant,  which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed under the 

                                       26

circumstances.  Failure to comply with the preceding  covenant shall be deemed a
complete  waiver of any rights that  Landlord has or may have under this Section
14.9.

                  The  indemnities  of Tenant set forth in this Section 14.9 and
the  obligations  of Tenant related  thereto shall remain  operative and in full
force  during  the  Term of this  Sublease;  however,  the  indemnities  and the
obligations of Tenant related  thereto shall terminate with respect to any Claim
not asserted by the Landlord Parties to Tenant on or before the date that is one
year from the Lease Termination Date (the "Indemnities Termination Date").

                  Any Claim for indemnification under this Section 14.9 which is
asserted in writing to Tenant by the Landlord  Parties prior to the  Indemnities
Termination  Date shall survive the  termination of the survival  period for the
indemnities and the obligations of Tenant as provided herein.

matter of law, of IHS or Litchfield against the Guarantor.  For purposes hereof,

any legal proceedings.


         3.  This  Guaranty  is a  primary  obligation  of  the  Guarantor.  The
Guarantor  waives  any and all notice of the  creation,  renewal,  extension  or
accrual of any of the  Obligations  and notice of or proof of reliance by IHS or
Litchfield  upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty.  The  Obligations
shall  conclusively  be deemed to have been  created,  contracted or incurred in
reliance upon this Guaranty,  and all dealings  between the Guarantor and IHS or
Litchfield  shall  likewise  be  conclusively  presumed  to  have  been  had  or
consummated  in reliance upon this  Guaranty.  The Guarantor  waives  diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or the nonpayment
to or upon such  Guarantor or any other person with respect to the  Obligations.
This  Guaranty  shall be construed as a continuing,  absolute and  unconditional
guaranty of payment (and not a guaranty of collection)  and shall remain in full
force and effect until all  Obligations  have been paid in full and  discharged.
Guarantor's Obligations shall not be affected, prejudiced,  modified or impaired
by any  state  of  facts  or the  happening  from  time  to  time  of any  event
whatsoever,  including, without limitation, any of the following, whether or not
with notice to or the consent of  Guarantor:  (i) the  validity,  regularity  or
enforceability of the Subleases,  any of the Obligations with respect thereto at
any time or from time to time held by IHS or  Litchfield;  (ii) any  defense  or
counterclaim  which may at any time be available to or be asserted by Integrated
Living or any other person  against IHS or Litchfield  (other than in respect of
payment of the Guarantor's Obligations); (iii) any renewal or extension that may
be made of the time of payment of any sums owing or payable  under the Subleases
or of the time for  performance  by any party  obligated  thereto  of any of the
terms and provisions of the Subleases, or of any other sums or obligations under
or arising  out of or on account of the  Subleases  or this  Guaranty;  (iv) the
merger  or  consolidation  of  Integrated  Living  or  Guarantor  or a change in
Integrated Living's or Guarantor's  business  operations or management;  (v) the
termination  of  any  relationship  of  Guarantor  with  Integrated   Living  or
Integrated Living's business, including, without limitation, any relationship of
ownership  or  commerce;  (vi) any change  (whether an increase or  decrease) in
Guarantor's share of ownership of Integrated Living; (vii) any assignment of any
of the  Subleases  or  subletting  any of the Facility or any part  thereof;  or
(viii) any circumstance  whatsoever which constitutes,  or might be construed to
constitute,  an equitable or legal  discharge of any other person for all or any
part of the Obligations,  or of the Guarantor under this Guaranty, in bankruptcy
or in any other instance  whatsoever.  The  obligations  and  liabilities of the
Guarantor  hereunder  shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by
IHS or Litchfield or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against
any other  person  (including  Integrated  Living)  which is or may be or become
liable in respect of all or any part of the  Obligations  or any  mitigation  of
damages. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated,  as the
case  may be,  if at any time  payment  of any of the  Obligations,  or any part
thereof,  is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by dissolution,
liquidation or  reorganization  of the Guarantor,  or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver,  intervenor or conservator of, or trustee,  custodian
or similar officer 

                                        3

for, the Guarantor,  or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,  all
as though such payments or performance had not been made.


         4.  Notwithstanding  any  payment  or  payments  made by the  Guarantor
hereunder,  the  Guarantor  shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the
rights of IHS or Litchfield against Integrated Living or otherwise in respect of
any of the Obligations.

         5.       The  Guarantor  hereby  represents  and  warrants  to IHS  and
                  Litchfield that:

                  (i) it (a) is duly  organized,  validly  existing  and in good
         standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and is
         entitled  to carry  on its  business  as now  conducted  and  presently
         contemplated  and (b) has the necessary  corporate power to enter into,
         and to  authorize,  the  execution,  delivery and  performance  of this
         Guaranty;

                  (ii)  it  directly  owns  and  holds  all  of the  issued  and
         outstanding shares of capital stock of Integrated Living;

                  (iii) this Guaranty  constitutes the legal,  valid and binding
         obligation of the Guarantor,  enforceable in accordance with its terms,
         except  as  such   enforceability   may  be  limited   by   bankruptcy,
         reorganization,  insolvency,  moratorium  and  other  similar  laws  of
         general  application  relating  to  or  affecting  the  enforcement  of
         creditors'  rights  and by  general  equity  principles  regardless  of
         whether such  enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in
         equity;

                  (iv) the execution,  delivery and performance of this Guaranty
         by the Guarantor will not violate any requirement of law or the charter
         or bylaws of the Guarantor or any existing mortgage,  contract,  lease,
         indenture or  agreement  binding on the  Guarantor  or the  Guarantor's
         property or result in the creation or  imposition of any lien on any of
         the properties or assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of
         any of the foregoing;

                  (v)  no  consent  of any  other  person  is  required  or,  if
         required,  such  consent has been  obtained,  and no consent,  license,
         permit,  approval or  authorization  of, exemption by, notice or report
         to, or  registration,  filing or  declaration  with,  any  governmental
         authority is required (other than as required under federal  securities
         laws) in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity
         or enforceability of this Guaranty; and

                  (vi)   no   litigation,    arbitration,    investigation    or
         administrative  proceeding  of  or  before  any  court,  arbitrator  or
         governmental authority is currently pending or, to the knowledge of the
         Guarantor,  threatened  (A) with respect to this Guaranty or any of the
         transactions  contemplated by this Guaranty or (B) against or affecting
         the Guarantor,  or 


                                        4

<PAGE>


         any of its properties or assets, which, if adversely determined,  would
         have  a  material   adverse  effect  on  its  ability  to  perform  its
         obligations hereunder.


         6. No failure to exercise  and no delay in  exercising,  on the part of
IHS or Litchfield,  any right,  power or privilege  hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof,  nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege  hereunder  preclude  any other or further  exercise  thereof,  or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies  provided by
law.

         7.  No  provision  of  this  Guaranty  shall  be  waived,   amended  or
supplemented  except by a written instrument  executed by IHS and Litchfield and
the lender in respect of the Facilities.  Guarantor shall cooperate with IHS and
Litchfield  and the lender to Litchfield  with respect to the Facilities to make
any amendments or  modifications to this Guaranty or execute loan documents that
are  reasonably  required by IHS,  Litchfield or the lender to  Litchfield  with
respect to the Facilities and reasonably acceptable to Guarantor and its lenders
with respect to the Facilities.

         8. All rights  and  duties of the  parties  hereto  shall  inure to the
benefit of and bind their  successors  and  assigns,  but shall not,  and is not
intended to, create rights in any other third parties;  provided,  however, that
(a) the Guarantor may not assign its obligations  hereunder  without the express
written  consent of IHS and Litchfield and (b) IHS and Litchfield may not assign
their  obligations   hereunder  without  the  express  written  consent  of  the
Guarantor.

         9. This  Guaranty  shall be construed  according to and governed by the
laws of the State of New York,  without regard to its principles of conflicts of
law. The Guarantor,  whether or not a New York resident,  hereby waives any plea
or claim of lack of personal  jurisdiction or improper venue in any action, suit
or  proceeding  brought to enforce this  Guaranty.  The  Guarantor  specifically
authorizes  any such action to be instituted and prosecuted in any Circuit Court
in New York, or United States District Court of New York, at the election of IHS
or Litchfield, where venue would lie and be proper against such Guarantor.

         10. This Guaranty and the  Guarantor's  Obligations  shall  immediately
terminate upon the satisfaction of such  Obligations  pursuant to the Subleases.
No representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Guarantor contained herein
shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

         11. The  Guarantor  will promptly  after the sending or filing  thereof
provide  to IHS  and  Litchfield  and  Litchfield's  lender  in  respect  of the
Facilities  copies of all periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and reports on
Form 8-K filed by the Guarantor with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission or

         12. The  Guarantor  agrees that any  presently  existing  or  hereafter
arising loan or extension of credit made by the Guarantor to  Integrated  Living
and any other presently  existing or hereafter arising  obligation of Integrated
Living to the Guarantor shall be subordinate to obligations of Integrated Living
under  the  Subleases  as to  both  payment  and  collection.  Accordingly,  the
Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment  whatsoever from IHS or Litchfield or
to allow any payment by Integrated  Living on the  Guarantor's  behalf while any
Event as Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Subleases.  The
Guarantor  agrees  that  in  the  event  of a  bankruptcy  or  other  insolvency
proceeding  involving  Integrated Living, the Guarantor will timely file a claim
for the amount of the  subordinated  debt in form reasonably  acceptable to IHS,
Litchfield and Litchfield's  lender in respect of the Facilities.  The Guarantor
agrees to pursue said claim with diligence. The proceeds of such claims shall be
delivered to IHS or Litchfield or their assigns to the extent the Guarantor owes
IHS or Litchfield any amounts under this Guaranty.

         13. IHS and Litchfield and their  respective  assigns may make repeated
demands upon the Guarantor  from time to time  hereunder for payment of any part
of the  Obligations  and this Guarantor  shall remain in part of the Obligations
and this  Guaranty  shall remain in full force and effect,  notwithstanding  the
Guarantor's failure to make voluntary payment of the Obligations.

                           ---------------------------

                  2.1 Term.  The term of this Sublease  shall  commence at 12:01
a.m.,  local  time,  on June 1, 1996 (the  "Effective  Date").  The term of this

from the  Effective  Date as defined in Section  2.1 of the Lease (the  "Initial

2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof.

                  2.2  Extension of the Initial  Term. In the event the Lease is
extended  pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of the Lease, then the Initial Term of this
Sublease  shall be extended for an equal number of additional  lease years (such
additional  periods are  referred to  individually  as the  "Extended  Term" and

expiration of the Initial Term or any prior  Extended  Term,  with such Extended
Terms under the same terms and conditions of the Lease and this Sublease, except
as otherwise stated therein and herein.

                  2.3 Renewal Terms.  Upon the expiration of the Initial Term or

this  Sublease,  Tenant  is hereby  granted  (i) one (1)  option  to renew  this
Sublease  for an  additional  period  of seven  (7)  years  and (ii)  three  (3)

collectively  as the  "Renewal  Terms," and  individually  each as the  "Renewal
Term"),  with each  Renewal  Term  under the same terms and  conditions  of this
Sublease,  except as otherwise  stated herein.  Tenant may exercise its right to
exercise the aforesaid  options by providing  written notice in each instance to
Landlord, Litchfield and Lender (in accordance with Section 15.1 hereof) no less
than fifteen (15) months prior to the  expiration of the Initial Term, or if the
Initial Term is extended  pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof,  nine (9) months prior
to the expiration of the Extended Term, or if this Sublease is renewed  pursuant
to this Section  2.3,  nine (9) months  prior to the  expiration  of any Renewal
Term;  provided,   however,  Landlord  shall  have  complied  with  the  renewal
provisions set forth in the Lease with respect to each such Renewal Term.

hereof and any Renewal Term  pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall be referred to

                                   ARTICLE III
                                     RENTAL
                                     ------

                  3.1 Base Rental.  Rent shall commence on the Effective Date of
this Sublease. The monthly payments of Rent provided for herein shall be paid by
Tenant in advance,  without notice or demand,  on the first day of each month in
equal monthly installments throughout the Lease Year, except as otherwise stated
herein.  The Rent for the calendar month during which Rent shall begin to accrue
and for the last calendar  month of the Term of this Sublease  shall be prorated
based upon the  actual  number of days in such  month,  if  necessary.  All Rent
payments  shall be paid to Landlord at the address stated in Section 15.1 hereof
or to such  other  person,  firm or  corporation  or at such  other  address  as
Landlord  may  designate  by notice in writing to Tenant.  For  purposes of this
Article III and as otherwise  provided for in this Sublease,  capitalized  terms
used  herein  shall have the  meanings  assigned  to them in Section 3.2 hereof,
unless otherwise previously defined or stated herein.

                             Tenant  agrees to pay Landlord as rent (the "Rent")
for each Lease Year all of the amounts  payable by Landlord to Litchfield and to
Lender (on behalf of  Litchfield)  as provided for in Article III and Article IV
of the Lease.

                             For  the  period  from  the  Effective  Date to and
including August 31, 1996, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $119,511.

                             Beginning  September  1, 1996 and  during the first
Lease Year of this Sublease,  Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $478,044 (the
"First  Year  Rent").  Within  thirty (30) days after the end of the first Lease
Year,  the First Year Rent shall be reviewed by Landlord to determine if the sum
accurately  represents  the amount paid by Landlord  under the Lease  during the
first  Lease  Year.  If the  First  Year Rent is less  than the  amount  paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then  Tenant  shall pay such  additional  amount to
Landlord  as Rent under this  Sublease  within  five (5) days of written  notice
thereof by Landlord  of the amount owed by Tenant.  If the First Year Rent is in
excess of the amount paid by Landlord under the Lease, then such amount shall be
credited  to Tenant as partial  payment  of Rent in the second  Lease Year under
this Sublease.

                             Beginning  in the  second  Lease  Year  and for all
Lease  Years  thereafter  during the Term of this  Sublease  and until the Lease
Termination Date, the Rent under this Sublease for each such Lease Year shall be
the amount paid by  Landlord  under the Lease for the prior Lease Year under the
Lease.  Landlord  shall provide Tenant written notice within ten (10) days prior
to the  beginning  of each Lease Year under this  Sublease of the amount of Rent

                                       5

that Tenant will be obligated to pay Landlord under this Sublease for such Lease
Year.  Within  thirty (30) days after the end of each Lease Year during the Term
of this  Sublease,  the prior  Lease  Year's Rent under this  Sublease  shall be
reviewed by Landlord to determine if the sum  accurately  represents  the amount
paid by Landlord under the Lease for such Lease Year. If the Rent paid by Tenant
during  such Lease Year under  this  Sublease  was less than the amount  paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then  Tenant  shall pay such  additional  amount to
Landlord  as Rent under this  Sublease  within  five (5) days of written  notice
thereof by  Landlord  of the amount  owed by Tenant.  If the Rent paid by Tenant
during such Lease Year under this  Sublease  was in excess of the amount paid by
Landlord  under the  Lease,  then such  amount  shall be  credited  to Tenant as
partial  payment  of Rent in the  following  Lease  Year  under  this  Sublease;
provided,  however,  that if such  credit  occurs at the end of the Term of this
Sublease, then Landlord shall be obligated to pay such excess amount to Tenant.

additions,  replacements  and accessories  thereto),  to Landlord,  which Leased
Equipment  shall  specifically  include all the Personal  Property and Inventory
necessary to reasonably operate the Premises in accordance with state healthcare
standards in effect as of the end of the Term of this Sublease, in the same good
condition  and state of repair as they  were at the  beginning  of the  original
Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted,  and broom clean and (ii) shall surrender
its  license to operate  the  Premises  as a health  care  facility  in favor of
Landlord;  provided,  however, Landlord or subsequent tenant has applied for and
will receive (at Landlord's or subsequent  tenant's cost and expense,  including
filing and licensure fees) appropriate  governmental  approvals for such license
transfer,  which transfer Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with in all material
respects.  At the end of the  Term,  Tenant  shall  pay all  scheduled  periodic
amounts due and owed to third parties as of the Lease  Termination  Date for any
of the  Leased  Equipment  and the  Leased  Equipment  shall be  surrendered  to
Landlord free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than those in favor

                        TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES
                        --------------------------------

                  5.1 Taxes.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall pay
when due all real estate taxes,  personal property taxes, Rent Taxes (as defined
below) and assessments, if any, becoming due

                                        8

<PAGE>

and payable  against the  Premises or the Leased  Equipment  beginning as of the
Effective Date and all taxes and assessments  (if any)  thereafter  becoming due
and payable during the Term of this Sublease.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing in
no event  shall  Tenant  be  obligated  to pay any  income  tax of  Landlord  or
Litchfield,  any  franchise  tax of  Landlord  or  Litchfield  or any  other tax
assessed  against the income or capital of Landlord or Litchfield.  Tenant shall
have the right,  at its sole cost and expense and in good faith,  to contest the
amount or validity  of any such tax or  assessment  payable by Tenant  under the
terms of this  Sublease.  If Tenant  contests  any  proposed  real estate tax or
assessment,  then  Tenant  shall  escrow the full amount of such  proposed  real
estate  tax or  assessment  during  the  period of the  contest,  including,  if
applicable,  any statutory  interest or penalty  requirements  and shall provide
Landlord  and  Litchfield  with proof of the escrow and the  identity  of escrow
agent. In addition,  if at any time payment of any such tax or assessment  shall
become  necessary to prevent the tax sale of the Premises or any portion thereof
because of  nonpayment,  then Tenant  shall pay the same in  sufficient  time to
prevent such sale. In no event, and under no circumstances,  shall Tenant permit
the  Premises  to be lost  due to the  failure  to pay  taxes  described  in the
Section.  Any real estate taxes and assessments which become due for the year in
which possession is given to Tenant but which are payable prior to the Effective
Date shall be prorated  for the calendar  year  between  Landlord and Tenant and
such proration  shall also occur at the end of the Term for the calendar year of
termination. "Rent Taxes" shall mean any excise, transaction, sales or privilege
tax  (except  federal  and state  taxes  imposed in  connection  with  change of
ownership of the  Premises) at any time levied or imposed by any  government  or
government authority,  subdivision,  agency or body on account of or measured by
the Rent or any other sums payable under this Sublease.

                  5.2  Sewer  Use Fees.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,
shall pay when due all sewer use fees and deposits (if any) assessed against the
Premises,  beginning as of the  Effective  Date of this  Sublease and during the
Term of this Sublease.  In the event of the expiration or earlier termination of
this Sublease or termination of the right of possession of Tenant,  Tenant shall
not be entitled to a return of all sewer use deposits.

                  5.3  Utilities.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  shall
obtain in its name and pay when due all charges and  deposits  (if any) for gas,
water, electricity, cable television, trash, telephone,  communication services,
and all other utilities  (collectively,  the "Utilities") used on or supplied to
the Premises, beginning as of the Effective Date of this Sublease and during the
Term of this Sublease.  In the event of the expiration or earlier termination of
this Sublease or termination of the right of possession of Tenant,  Tenant shall
not be entitled to a return of all utilities deposits.

                                 USE OF PREMISES
                                 ---------------

6.1 Use by Tenant.  Upon the Effective  Date,  Tenant shall use the Facility and
the Premises only for the business purpose of a health care facility, ancillary,
medical and  therapeutic  health care services and for no other purpose.  Tenant
covenants and agrees that during the Term of this Sublease, it will continuously
operate  the  Facility  as a  provider  of  health  care  services  in  material
compliance  with all applicable  rules,  regulations,  laws,  statutes,  orders,
ordinances  and  requirements,   and  will  maintain  its   certifications   for
reimbursement  and  licensure,   and  its  accreditation,   if  compliance  with
accreditation  standards is required to maintain the  operations of the Facility
and a failure to comply would adversely affect operations of the Facility.

                  6.2 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall use its reasonable best
efforts and at its sole cost and  expense,  to get the  Premises  into  material
compliance,  and Tenant shall operate the Premises in material  compliance  with
all applicable  city,  county,  state and federal  building  codes,  ordinances,
rules, regulations and laws applicable to the Premises.

                  6.3  Waste.  Tenant  shall  neither  commit,  nor  permit  the
commission  of waste  upon or against  the  Premises  and the Leased  Equipment,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.

                  6.4 License and Permits.  Tenant at its sole cost and expense,
shall  acquire and maintain  all  licenses and permits  needed to operate a long
term care facility on the Premises.

                  6.5  Right of Entry  for  Inspection  and  Repairs.  Landlord,
Litchfield  and Lender (or their  authorized  designee)  shall have the right to
enter  upon  the  Premises  for  the  purpose  of   inspection  or  making  such
improvements,  repairs and  alterations of the Premises as Landlord,  Litchfield
and Lender (or their authorized designee) may be required or permitted hereunder
to provide,  or may deem  reasonably  necessary or advisable.  At all reasonable
times and with the least disturbance reasonably necessary,  Landlord, Litchfield
and Lender (or their  authorized  designee) may inspect the Premises or view the
Premises  with existing or  prospective  mortgagees,  prospective  purchasers or
prospective tenants or sub-tenants.  Except in cases of emergency or when Tenant
is in default under this  Sublease,  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender (or their
authorized designee) shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice before entering
the  Premises;  provided,  however,  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender (or their
authorized  designee) shall not infringe on Tenant's normal and customary rights
of quiet  enjoyment.  The  consent of Tenant (not to be  unreasonably  withheld)
shall be  obtained  prior to  commencement  of major  repairs,  improvements  or
alterations  to the  Premises  by  Landlord or  Litchfield  and,  if  reasonably
possible, such work shall be done at such time or times as will not unreasonably
interfere  with the  operations  of Tenant.  The exercise of any right  reserved

                                       10

hereunder by Landlord, Litchfield and Lender shall not operate as a constructive
eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises and shall
not render Landlord, Litchfield and Lender liable to Tenant or any other person.

                  6.6 Reports to Landlord and Litchfield. At least quarterly and
annually,  Tenant shall furnish to Landlord and Litchfield a written report,  in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Litchfield, regarding
the operation,  management and financial performance of the Premises, including,
but not limited to,  information  as to the Net  Revenues for the  Premises,  as
defined in Section 3.2(g) of the Lease.

                  6.7  Additional  Tenant  Obligations.  During  the term of the
Note,  Tenant  shall  perform the  obligations  set forth on Exhibit D hereto as
required therein,  unless Landlord and Litchfield  otherwise consent in writing;
provided, however, that in the event of a refinance, amendment,  modification or
supplement of the Loan (a "Loan  Refinance")  evidenced by a note,  Tenant shall
perform and  observe  such  covenants,  duties and  obligations  required by the
instruments evidencing the security or pertaining to such Loan Refinance.

                                 --------------

7.1 Permanent or Temporary  Taking.  In the event notice of the taking of all or
any portion of the Premises on a permanent  or  temporary  basis by any federal,
state,  local  or  quasi-governmental  agency  or other  authority,  by means of
condemnation or threat of  condemnation  is received by Landlord,  Litchfield or
Tenant,  then such party shall  promptly  provide to the other parties notice of
such proposed or threatened taking. Upon the occurrence of such taking,  whether
by  condemnation,  threat of condemnation or conveyance in lieu of condemnation,
the terms and conditions of this Article VII shall govern and control.

                  7.2 Permanent Taking. In the event of the taking of the entire
Premises or so much thereof that the remainder of the Premises cannot reasonably
be utilized as a health care  facility and the Lease is  terminated  as a result
thereof,  then this Sublease  shall  terminate as of the effective  date of such
taking by the governmental or quasi-governmental authority.


                  7.3 Temporary Taking. In the event that all or any part of the
Premises   shall  be  taken  for  a   temporary   use  by  a   governmental   or
quasi-governmental  authority,  all such  compensation  for the temporary taking
received  by Landlord  under the Lease or Tenant  under this  Sublease  shall be
payable to Landlord.  Tenant's  obligation to pay Rent shall continue under this
Sublease;  provided,  however,  Rent shall be reduced or  adjusted to the extent
Landlord's obligation to pay Rent under the Lease is modified.

                  7.4  Partial  Taking.  In  the  event  that a  portion  of the
Premises shall be taken by a governmental  or  quasi-governmental  authority but
the  remainder  of the  Premises  can  reasonably  be  utilized as a health care
facility, then this Sublease shall continue and, except as otherwise provided in
this Section 8.4,  Tenant shall  continue to perform all terms and conditions of
this Sublease as if such condemnation or taking shall not have occurred. Neither
party shall have any right to terminate  the Sublease as a result of such taking
or  condemnation.  Tenant's  obligation  to pay Rent shall  continue  under this
Sublease;  provided,  however,  Rent shall be reduced or  adjusted to the extent
Landlord's  obligation  to pay Rent under the Lease is modified.  If  applicable
under  the  Lease,  to  the  extent  such  compensation  is not  applied  to the
indebtedness  secured by the Facility,  all compensation paid in respect of such
taking  shall belong to and be the property of  Litchfield;  provided,  however,
that  to the  extent  such  shall  not  reduce  the  award  or  compensation  to
Litchfield,  Tenant shall be entitled to seek and maintain an independent action
or claim in the  condemnation  or eminent domain  proceedings  for its equipment
(other than the Leased Equipment) or signs, moving expenses, relocation costs or
any other  allowances  to which  Tenant  may be legally  entitled.  In any event
Landlord  and  Litchfield  shall  not  be  liable  to  Tenant  for  any  damage,
compensation or award.

                     ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS AND TRADE FIXTURES
                     ---------------------------------------

8.1 Repairs by Tenant  Generally.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  shall
inspect, maintain and repair the improvements constituting the Premises so as to
keep the Leased  Improvements  and interior  decorations in good repair and in a
safe condition,  ordinary wear and tear excepted,  free from dirt, water,  snow,
ice,  refuse,  trash and obstruction and in material  compliance with applicable
laws. This  obligation to repair shall include,  but not be limited to, Tenant's
signs,  glass,  any air  conditioning,  heating,  electrical,  parking areas and
driveways,  plumbing systems,  roof, walls and all interior  repairs.  Except as
otherwise provided for herein,  Tenant shall not alter any part of the structure
of the  Premises  or  change  or alter any  permanent  improvement  in or on the
Premises  or make  additions  thereto  without  the  prior  written  consent  of
Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their authorized  designee),  which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided, however, that no such alterations
or additions shall adversely  affect the fair market value or useful life of the
Premises.  However,  Tenant may make such  alterations  without  Landlord's  and
Litchfield's  consent if such alterations have an aggregate cost of no more than
$1,500,000, so long as Tenant gives a copy of the plans to Landlord,  Litchfield
and Lender (or their  authorized  designee) within ten (10) days prior to making
the  alterations.  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender reserve the right to impose
reasonable requirements as a condition of granting their consent to any proposed
alterations in excess of $1,500,000, including, without limitation, requirements
that  Tenant (a) submit for  Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and  Lender's  (or their
authorized  designee's) prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld)  plans  and  specifications   prepared  by  licensed   architects  and
engineers,  (b) submit for Landlord's  and  Litchfield's  prior approval 

                                       12

<PAGE>


(which approval shall not be unreasonably  withheld) the names,  addresses,  and
general  information of all  contractors,  subcontractors,  and  suppliers,  (c)
obtain,  arrange  for and/or  post  necessary  permits,  bonds,  and  additional
insurance, (d) submit contractor,  subcontractor, and supplier lien waivers, and
(e) materially comply with such other  requirements as Landlord,  Litchfield and
Lender (or their  authorized  designee) may  reasonably  impose  concerning  the
manner in which the work shall be done and the other  aspects  of the work.  Any
alteration or repair work shall be performed in a good and  workmanlike  manner,
with quality  materials,  materially in accordance with plans and specifications
approved by Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their authorized designee). Any
alteration  or repair work shall be completed so as to cause the least  material
interference at the Premises,  in material  compliance with all applicable laws,
permits, licenses, and regulations. Tenant shall use its reasonable best efforts
to keep the Premises free from any mechanic's,  materialman's,  or similar liens
and  encumbrances  and any claims  therefor in connection with any alteration or
repair  work.  Tenant  shall  give  Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender (or their
authorized  designee) notice at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the
alteration or repair work, to afford  Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender (or their
authorized  designee) the opportunity to post or record  appropriate  notices of
nonresponsibility.  Tenant shall remove any lien, claim, or encumbrance, by bond
or otherwise,  within  thirty (30) days after such claim is asserted.  If Tenant
fails to do so,  Landlord,  Litchfield or Lender may pay the amount or take such
other action as Landlord,  Litchfield  or Lender deems  reasonably  necessary to
remove such  claim,  lien,  or  encumbrance  after  investigating  the  validity
thereof. The amount so paid and costs incurred by Landlord, Litchfield or Lender
shall be  payable  by Tenant  on  demand,  together  with  detailed  information
regarding such amount. Nothing in this Sublease shall authorize Tenant to do any
act which shall  subject  Litchfield's  title to the  Premises  or its  interest
therein to any such liens, claims, or encumbrances.  Any such liens shall attach
solely  to  Tenant's  interest  in the  Premises  and shall in all  respects  be
subordinate to Litchfield's title to the Premises.  Tenant shall not do anything
or permit anything to be done upon the Premises which will adversely  affect the
safety or security of the  Premises,  or which will increase the rate of fire or
casualty insurance upon the improvements or their contents,  without Landlord's,
Litchfield's and Lender's (or their  authorized  designee)  written consent,  or
which  will  cause  structural  damage to the  Premises  or to any  improvements
therein.  Except for trade fixtures, any improvements made to the Premises shall
become the property of Landlord, free of charge, if affixed to the realty.

                  8.2 Quality and  Promptness  of Repairs.  All repairs  made by
Tenant shall be made  promptly  when  necessary;  shall be at least equal to the
original  construction  in the quality of materials and workmanship and shall be
done in full compliance with all applicable building codes,  ordinances,  rules,
regulations  and statutes of the city,  county,  state and federal  governments;
provided,  however,  Landlord  or  Litchfield  shall  have the right to  perform
necessary repairs for and on behalf of Tenant, and charge Tenant for the cost of
such repairs.

                  8.3 Liability of Landlord and  Litchfield.  Landlord shall not
be liable to Tenant or any other person or corporation,  including employees and
invitees,  for death or 

                                       13

injury  to the  person  or for loss or  damage  to  property  caused  by  theft,
vandalism,  water, rain, snow, frost,  fire, storm or accident,  or by breakage,
stoppage,  or leakage of water,  gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,  upon,
about or adjacent to the Premises or by any other cause,  except  damages caused
by Litchfield's  breach of the Lease,  Landlord's  breach of this Sublease or by
the gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct  of Landlord,  Litchfield or their
employees or agents.

                  Tenant  shall have the right to place upon the  Premises  such
sign or signs as it may desire for advertising  purposes,  at Tenant's sole cost
and expense. All signs shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local
statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. Tenant shall maintain such signs in
a good  state of repair  and shall  repair  any  damage to the  Premises  by the
erection,  maintenance  or  removal  of such  signs at the  termination  of this
Sublease.  Upon the  termination of this Sublease,  all signs of Tenant shall be
removed in accordance with Article IX relating to trade fixtures.

                    ----------------------------------------

10.1  Assignment or Subletting by Tenant.  Tenant shall not assign this Sublease
or any interest herein,  or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or any right
or privilege  appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other than Tenant and its
agents,  employees,  patients and medical staff to occupy or use the Premises or
any part thereof  without  Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and Lender's prior written
consent,  if required.  This Section shall not prohibit assignment to affiliated
entities of Tenant, co-ventures or partnerships of which Tenant is a participant
(collectively,  a "Successor Affiliate"); or any other such entity or successor;
provided,  however, that such affiliate entity,  co-venture or partnership shall
be and remain at least fifty-one  percent (51%) owned or  beneficially  owned by
Integrated  Living.  Upon the  occurrence  of any  assignment or subletting to a
Successor  Affiliate,  Tenant shall promptly  provide to Landlord and Litchfield
written  notice of such  assignment or  subletting,  together with a copy of all
assignments, transfers, subleases, financial and ownership information regarding
such  Successor  Affiliate and such other  information  reasonably  requested by
Landlord  and  Litchfield.  Any  unauthorized  assignment  or sublease  shall be
voidable  and  shall  constitute  a breach of this  Sublease  at  Landlord's  or
Litchfield's option.

                  Landlord,   Litchfield  and  Lender  shall  not   unreasonably
withhold or delay their consent to  assignment  or subletting of this  Sublease.
Without  limitation of Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and Lender's right to withhold
their consent, Landlord, Litchfield and Lender may 

                                       14

withhold their consent and be deemed reasonable  hereunder if one or more of the
following applicable facts exist:

                             (a)    Assignee  or  sublessee  does  not  agree in
                                    writing to be bound by all terms, conditions
                                    and  obligations  under  the  Lease and this
                                    Sublease.

                             (b)    Assignee's  or  sublessee's  proposed use of
                                    the  Premises  is not  permitted  by the use
                                    provisions of the Lease and this Sublease.

                             (c)    The proposed  assignee or sublessee does not
                                    promptly obtain licensure approval after the
                                    assignment  or sublease in  accordance  with
                                    applicable   Florida  statutes,   rules  and
                                    regulations.

                             It  shall  not be  unreasonable  to  withhold  said
consent if Tenant is in default of this Sublease at such time.

                  In the event  Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender refuse to grant
such consent and if Tenant wishes to contest  Landlord's and Lender's  decision,
then  Tenant's  sole  remedy  shall  be  for  injunctive   relief  and  specific
performance  and not for any form of damages or costs,  unless  such  refusal to
grant consent is found to be arbitrary  and  capricious  by  unappealable  final
decision of a court of competent  jurisdiction.  Any such assignment or sublease
shall be subject to the terms of the Lease and this  Sublease  and Tenant  shall
remain  primarily  liable  to  Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender  for the  full
performance of the duties and obligations under this Sublease.

                  10.2 Assignment by Landlord.  Landlord shall not sell,  assign
or transfer this  Sublease or any interest  herein  unless  permitted  under the
Lease or this Sublease.

                             Any  unauthorized  assignment shall be voidable and
shall constitute a breach of this Sublease at Tenant's option.

                             Tenant shall be under no obligation to any assignee
of Landlord  (other than  Litchfield  and Lender)  except upon written notice of
such assignment from Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender.  Upon notice to Tenant of
any such  assignment,  the Rent  payable  by Tenant  which are  subject  to this
assignment shall be paid to or upon the written order of the assignee.

                  10.3  Subordination  and  Attornment.  This Sublease  shall be
subject and  subordinate to the lien  contemplated by the Loan Agreement and any
lien  securing  indebtedness  hereafter  to be  secured by the  Premises  at the
election  of any  owner of the  Premises,  and to all  renewals,  modifications,
amendments,  consolidations,   replacements  and  extensions  thereof,  subject,
however, to the covenants and conditions  contained in this Section 


                                       15

11.3. Tenant shall execute and deliver to the owner of the Premises,  Lender and
any other  holder of secured  indebtedness,  documents  which may be  reasonably
required by any owner of the  Premises  in  confirmation  of such  subordination
promptly upon Landlord's or Litchfield's written request.  Further, Tenant, as a
part of any  subordination  agreement,  if  requested,  shall agree to attorn to
Lender and any other holder of secured  indebtedness in the event of foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender and
any such other lender. In consideration of Tenant's execution of a subordination
and/or attornment  agreement,  Landlord or Litchfield shall cooperate and assist
Tenant in obtaining a  non-disturbance  agreement from Lender and any such other
holder of secured  indebtedness.  In any event,  Tenant  shall be  obligated  to
continue to pay Rent and comply with all other terms of this Sublease if allowed
to remain in possession  after any  foreclosure or deed in lieu of  foreclosure;
provided,  however,  if any  Lender  or other  holder  of  secured  indebtedness
forecloses  on the lien  contemplated  by the Loan  Agreement  or any other lien
securing  indebtedness in respect of the Premises, or the Premises are purchased
at a foreclosure  sale,  Tenant shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant has met
and continues to meet all its requirements  under this Sublease.  Except for the
lien  securing  indebtedness  contemplated  by the Loan  Agreement,  Landlord or
Litchfield  may not place any other lien securing  indebtedness  on the Premises
without the written consent of Tenant.

                  10.4 Sale by Litchfield. Any sale, assignment or conveyance of
the Premises shall be made subject to the Lease,  this Sublease and the Purchase
Option  Agreement.  If the Premises is sold to Landlord pursuant to the Purchase
Option Agreement,  then this Sublease shall terminate on the date of acquisition
of the Premises by Landlord.

                  10.5 Estoppel  Certificates.  Tenant, upon request by Landlord
or  Litchfield,  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  or  Litchfield,  in
contemplation  of  the  sale  or  mortgage  of the  Premises,  and  Landlord  or
Litchfield  upon  request by Tenant  shall  execute  and  deliver to Tenant,  in
contemplation  of an  assignment  of the  Lease or this  Sublease,  an  estoppel
certificate which shall, at a minimum,  state, to the extent true, the following
facts:  (a) that this  Sublease is a true and correct copy of this  Sublease and
that it has not been  modified or terminated  except as set forth,  (b) that the
Rent in this  Sublease  has not been  modified,  (c) that  there are no  outside
agreements that would affect the beneficiary of the estoppel  certificate or any
of their rights under this  Sublease or to the  Premises,  (d) that there are no
disputes  existing as to this Sublease,  (e) that Landlord has complied with the
terms of this Sublease to the date of the  certificate,  (f) that there has been
no Rent paid more than  thirty  (30) days in  advance,  and (g) any other  terms
reasonably acceptable to Tenant or reasonably required by any mortgagee.

                                    of money payable under this Sublease and the
                                    continuation  of such  failure  for a period
                                    fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days after

                                    cure  such  failure,  provided  that  Tenant
                                    exercises  reasonable  diligence  in  curing
                                    such failure during and after the expiration

                             add the cost of the cure to the next installment or
                             installments of the Rent due.

                  (b)        Terminate  the  Sublease  and  Landlord  may make a
                             demand for accrued Rent.

                  (c)        Reenter  the  Premises   without   terminating  the
                             Sublease  and take  possession  of the Premises and
                             any Leased Equipment and Tenant shall remain liable
                             for the equivalent  amount of Rent reserved for the
                             balance  of the  Term,  as and when  due,  less the
                             avails,  if any, of  reletting  the Premises or any
                             part thereof to a third party.  If Landlord  relets
                             the Premises  (either for a term greater than, less
                             than or equal to the unexpired  portion of the Term
                             then in effect  under  the terms of this  Sublease)
                             for an  aggregate  rent  during the portion of such
                             new sublease  which is less than the Rent and other
                             charges  which Tenant would pay  hereunder for such
                             period, Landlord may immediately upon the making of
                             such  new   sublease,   sue  for  and  recover  the
                             difference  between the aggregate  rental  provided
                             for in said new  sublease  for the  portion  of the
                             term coextensive with the Term then in effect under
                             this Sublease, and the Rent and other charges which
                             Tenant  would  pay   hereunder   for  such  period,
                             together with any reasonable  expenses,  including,
                             without  limitation,  attorneys' fees and expenses,
                             to  which   Landlord  may  be  put  for   brokerage
                             commissions,  placing the  Premises  in  tenantable
                             condition,  and other  related  charges or expenses
                             accrued  prior to the new  sublease  or  otherwise;
                             provided,  however,  the aggregate  rental provided
                             for in said  new  sublease  is  reasonable  for the
                             Premises.  If such new  sublease or tenancy is made
                             for a shorter  term than the balance of the Term of
                             this Sublease,  any such action brought by Landlord
                             to collect the  deficit  for that period  shall not
                             bar  Landlord  from  thereafter  suing for any loss
                             accruing  during the balance of the unexpired  Term
                             of this Sublease. Landlord shall use its reasonable
                             efforts  to   negotiate   and   obtain   terms  and
                             conditions  for any  reletting of the Premises that
                             are  commercially  reasonable  terms and conditions
                             under the circumstances.  Landlord shall also abide
                             by  the  real  property  laws   applicable  to  the
                             Premises in respect of  reletting  the Premises and
                             mitigating the liability and  obligations of Tenant
                             under this subsection (c).

                  (d)        Neither  (i)  the   termination  of  this  Sublease
                             pursuant to subsection  (b); (ii) the  repossession
                             of the  Premises;  (iii) the  failure of  Landlord,

                                       19

                             notwithstanding  reasonable best efforts,  to relet
                             the  Premises;  (iv)  the  reletting  of all or any
                             portion thereof; nor (v) the failure of Landlord to
                             collect or receive  any  rentals  due upon any such
                             reletting,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability
                             and  obligations  hereunder,  all  of  which  shall
                             otherwise    survive    any    such    termination,
                             repossession   or  reletting.   Any  payments  with
                             respect to rental, taxes, insurance and maintenance
                             of the Premises  made by any  subsequent  tenant of
                             the  Premises,  during the time Tenant shall remain
                             liable to Landlord  under this  Sublease,  shall to
                             the extent to such  payment  relieve  Tenant of its
                             liability  for that payment  under this  subsection
                             (d).

                  (e)        Landlord may enforce,  by action or otherwise,  any
                             other term or covenant of this Sublease.

                  (f)        At the option of Landlord,  the rights and remedies
                             of this Section 12.2 shall apply to this  Sublease,
                             the Colorado Sublease or both.

                  Tenant   knowingly   and   voluntarily   waives   demand   for
performance,  notice to quit and any and all rights of  redemption  which Tenant
may now have or hereafter acquire pursuant to statute or court decision,  except
for notice as provided in this Article.

                  Landlord  shall have the right to cure any Event of Default by
Tenant without giving notice to Tenant in the event of any emergency.

                  Landlord's  failure to insist on the strict performance of and
compliance with each condition in this Sublease shall neither  constitute nor be
construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's  rights under this
Article or by law, nor  constitute nor be construed as consisting of a waiver by
Landlord of a second or subsequent Event of Default by Tenant of same condition.
Acceptance of past due Rent or other sums due shall in no way act as a waiver of
Tenant's Event of Default nor prevent  Landlord from proceeding as above stated.
In the event litigation is commenced,  it shall not be necessary for Landlord to
notify  Tenant  of any  additional  occurrences  of  Event of  Default  prior to
proceeding as permitted.

                  11.3  Default  by  Landlord.   If  Landlord  defaults  in  the
performance  of any condition or obligation in this Sublease and if Tenant gives
Landlord notice of the default  stating the default  complained of and referring
to the Article and Section in this Sublease relied on by Tenant,  Landlord shall
have thirty (30) calendar  days after  receiving  written  notice from Tenant to
undertake  the cure of any such default and shall  thereafter  cure same in good
faith, with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and in good faith  pursue the cure as provided  for herein,  then Tenant may sue
Landlord for its damages,  and 


                                       20

<PAGE>



may further obtain  injunctive  relief if necessary and permitted as a matter of
law to maintain operation of the Facility or conform with applicable law.

                  Whenever  this  Sublease  requires  any act  (other  than  the
payment of a liquidated sum of money, e.g., rental payments,  taxes,  utilities,
etc.) by  Landlord  or Tenant  within a  certain  period of time or by a certain
time,  the time for the  performance of such act shall be extended by the period
of any delay caused by war, strikes,  lockouts,  civil commotion,  unpreventable
material  shortages,  casualties,  acts of God or other  similar  conditions  or
events  beyond the  control of the  obligated  party;  provided,  however,  that
written  notice of such delay and the cause and  circumstances  thereof shall be
given to the  other  party  immediately  after  commencement  of such  delay and
knowledge of such delay becoming known by the obligated party.

                                   BANKRUPTCY
                                   ----------

                  If an Event of Default  described in Article  11.1(g)  occurs,
then  Landlord may  terminate  this  Sublease by giving  notice to Tenant of its
intention  so to do;  provided,  however,  neither  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  an
assignment for the benefit of creditors nor the  appointment of a receiver shall
affect this Sublease or permit its  termination  so long as the covenants on the
part of  Tenant  to be  performed  shall be  performed  by Tenant or a person or
entity  claiming under Tenant.  In the event Rent is not paid as herein provided
after the filing of a petition in  bankruptcy  or any  arrearage  in Rent is not
made whole, this Sublease shall be immediately  terminated and Landlord shall be
free to pursue its remedies set forth in Article XI.

                               DAMAGE TO PREMISES
                               ------------------

                  In the  event  that,  at any  time  during  the  Term  of this
Sublease,  the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, the elements, or other
casualty,  whether or not insured by Tenant,  Tenant  shall  immediately  notify
Landlord  and  Litchfield  in  writing  of the  occurrence  of  such  damage  or
destruction.  This  Sublease  shall not  terminate as a result of such damage or
destruction,  and Tenant  shall,  at its sole cost and  expense,  including  the
proceeds of insurance in respect of such damage or destruction,  if any, repair,
rebuild or restore the Premises to  substantially  the same condition as existed
immediately  prior to the  damage  or  destruction  and in  accordance  with all
applicable  federal,  state and local  building  codes  and  regulations  and is
sufficient  to meet  state  licensure  requirements  for long term  health  care
facilities.  Subject to the  rights of the  Lender,  the  proceeds,  if any,  of
insurance in respect of such damage or  destruction  shall be made  available to
Tenant for the  prosecution  of such  repair,  rebuilding  or  restoration.  The
repair,  rebuilding or restoration  shall be completed as promptly as reasonably
possible.  Any and all such work shall be  performed  in a good and  workmanlike
manner,  with  quality  materials  and no liens shall  attach to the interest of
Landlord and  Litchfield  as a result 

                                       21

of such  work.  Prior to  undertaking  such  work,  Tenant  shall (a)  submit to
Landlord and  Litchfield for their prior  approval,  which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld,  plans and specifications prepared by licensed architects
and engineers,  (b) submit to Landlord and Litchfield for their prior  approval,
which  approval shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  the names,  addresses and
general information in respect of all contractors, subcontractors and suppliers,
(c) obtain,  arrange for and/or post  necessary  permits,  bonds,  licenses  and
insurance,  (d) submit contractor,  subcontractor and supplier lien waivers, and
(e)  comply  with  such  other  requirements  as  Landlord  and  Litchfield  may
reasonably impose concerning the manner in which the work shall be performed and
other aspects of the work.


                                   ARTICLE XIV
                   INSURANCE, SUBROGATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
                   ------------------------------------------

14.1 Comprehensive General Liability and Professional  Liability Insurance to be
Carried by Tenant.  Subject to Tenant's  rights of  self-insurance  set forth in
Section 14.8 hereof, Tenant, before occupying the Premises, at its sole cost and
expense,  shall  cause to be issued  and kept in force  during  the Term and any
Renewal Term, if any, a policy or policies of  comprehensive  general  liability
and professional liability insurance,  including general liability,  malpractice
and property damage, by the terms of which Landlord,  Lender and Tenant shall be
insured against claims for bodily injury,  death and property damage as a result
of an  occurrence  on the  Premises,  with  minimum  combined  single  limits of
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 million aggregate per facility,  with a
$2,000,000 umbrella policy.  Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord,  Litchfield
and  Lender  for any  deficiency  should  insurance  afforded  this  Section  be
insufficient  to satisfy the liability of Tenant under Section 14.5,  including,
without limitation,  the amount of any deductibles  maintained by Tenant, unless
such liability arises from negligence of Landlord or Litchfield.

                  14.2  Certificate of Insurance.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and
expense,  shall carry all  insurance  required by this Article with a company or
companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Litchfield and Lender and qualified
to do business in the state or commonwealth  where the Premises is located.  All
such policies shall bear  endorsements to the effect that Landlord,  Litchfield,
Lender and Tenant are named as additional  insureds as their interest may appear
and Lender shall also be named as loss payee on the fire,  extended coverage and
peril  insurance  provided under Section 14.6 and that all such parties shall be
notified by certified mail, return receipt requested,  not less than thirty (30)
days in advance of any  termination  expiration or cancellation if such coverage
is not replaced  prior to expiration by coverage  complying  with the provisions
herein.

                  Upon  notification  of  such   termination,   cancellation  or
expiration by its insurance carrier, Tenant shall advise Lender,  Litchfield and
Landlord of such termination, 

                                       22

<PAGE>



expiration or cancellation  unless such coverage is replaced or Tenant elects to
self-insure in accordance with Section 14.8 hereof.

                  At Landlord's,  Litchfield's or Lender's  request,  Tenant, at
its sole cost and expense,  before commencement of the Term of this Sublease and
upon each renewal of such insurance, shall deliver to and deposit with Landlord,
Litchfield and Lender certificates of insurance for each policy required by this
Article,  and evidence  that,  all current  premiums on such  policies have been
paid. At Landlord's,  Litchfield's  and Lender's  request,  Tenant shall deliver
copies of the applicable policies.

                  Tenant's obligation to carry the insurance provided herein may
be brought  within the coverage of a so-called  "blanket  policy" or policies of
the insurance carrier  maintained by Tenant or Integrated  Living.  The coverage
afforded  Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender must not be reduced or diminished by
the blanket policy of insurance,  with an endorsement to that effect provided to
such Landlord, Litchfield and Lender; and the requirements set forth herein must
be otherwise satisfied.

                  All  requirements for Tenant to maintain  insurance  coverages
are  limited  to  what is  available  from  established  insurance  carriers  at
commercially  reasonable  rates.  Upon the  written  request of Tenant,  Lender,
Litchfield  or Landlord may permit,  which  permission  may not be  unreasonably
withheld,  modifications  to the  insurance  otherwise  required by this Section
14.5,  taking into account the cost and  availability of insurance for such risk
and the  effect  of the terms  and  rates of such  insurance  upon the costs and
charges of Tenant for its services.  In determining  whether to approve any such
modification,  Lender, Litchfield or Landlord may rely upon a written evaluation
with respect thereto by an independent  insurance  consultant provided by Tenant
and acceptable to Lender, Litchfield or Landlord.

                  14.3 Adjustments to Insurance  Coverage.  In order to maintain
the same level of coverage that will exist at the  commencement of the Term, the
amounts  and types of coverage  called for herein  shall be subject to review by
Landlord,  Litchfield  and  Lender  at the end of each  three  (3)  Lease  Years
following the Effective Date of the Lease and, if  appropriate,  the amounts and
types of  coverage  shall be  increased  or  extended to provide the amounts and
types of coverage  that are at least equal to the amounts and types of coverages
carried by prudent  owners and operators of properties  similar to the Premises,
but in no event shall the coverage be less than as required by the terms of this
Article.

                  14.4 Other  Coverage.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,
shall carry and  throughout  the Term of this Sublease  maintain  insurance in a
reasonable amount to provide coverage for loss or damage to or from:

                  (a)        the  Leased  Equipment  for  its  full  replacement
                             value;

                  (b)        explosion  of steam  boilers,  pressure  vessels or
                             similar apparatus;


                                       23

<PAGE>


                  (c)        loss of Rent  during the  period of  reconstruction
                             and the  six (6)  months  following  completion  of
                             reconstruction  after any damage or  destruction of
                             the Premises;

                  (d)        flood   insurance,    windstorm,   and   earthquake
                             insurance,   as  reasonably   required  by  Lender,
                             Litchfield or Landlord; and

                  (e)        Workers Compensation  Insurance, as required by the
                             laws of the state where the Facility is located.

                  14.5 Fire,  Extended Coverage and Additional Perils Insurance.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be issued and kept in force
during  the  Term of this  Sublease,  a policy  or  policies  of fire,  extended
coverage and  additional  perils  insurance by which  Landlord,  Litchfield  and
Lender  shall be  insured  against  loss and  damage by fire,  lightning,  hail,
earthquakes and sprinkler  damage resulting from damage to or destruction of the
Leased  Improvements,   including  equipment,  furnishings  and  other  tangible
personal property used in connection with operation of the Premises,  located on
the Premises and the Leased  Equipment,  if any, for its full replacement  value
(exclusive of land) as established by the insurance carrier.

                  14.6  Subrogation   Rights.   Tenant,  and  for  each  person,
organization,  association  and  corporation  claiming under or through  Tenant,
herein waives, releases and discharges Landlord,  Litchfield and Lender from all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, demands, claims and liabilities arising in any
manner, excluding negligence of Landlord,  Litchfield or Lender, that is covered
by  policies  of  insurance  now or  hereafter  existing  during the Term or any
Renewal Term (if any). However, this release is applicable only to the extent of
the maximum proceeds paid under each applicable  policy of insurance,  excluding
applicable deductibles.

                  If the release  and  discharge  of  Landlord,  Litchfield  and
Lender by  Tenant,  as  contained  in this  Article,  to the  extent of  maximum
proceeds  paid  under  each  applicable  policy of  insurance,  contravenes  any
applicable  statute or  decision  with  regard to  exculpatory  agreements,  the
liability  of Landlord,  Litchfield  and Lender shall be deemed not released but
shall be secondary to all of the insurance  proceeds paid under such  applicable
policy of insurance.

                  14.7 Litigation Cooperation. Tenant shall fully cooperate with
Landlord  and Lender  and/or their  counsel in respect of  providing  applicable
information,  testimony or  documentation  reasonably  necessary  for  Landlord,
Litchfield and Lender to negotiate, litigate and/or settle any and all causes of
action or similar matters in respect of the Premises.  Upon  termination of this
Sublease,  Tenant shall fully  cooperate  with  Landlord and  Litchfield  and/or
management  retained by Landlord and Litchfield in respect of relicensure and/or
recertification  of  Landlord  and  Litchfield  and/or  management  retained  by
Landlord and Litchfield.

                  14.8  Self-Insurance.  Notwithstanding  any  provision in this
Article  XIV to the  contrary,  so  long  as the  amount  of  self-insurance  is
comparable  to the amount of insurance  maintained by Tenant with respect to the
Premises as of the  Effective  Date of this Sublease or generally by entities in
Tenant's business with respect to similar Facilities,  Tenant may satisfy all or
a portion  of the  insurance  requirements  set forth in  Section  14.1  through
self-insurance   by  Tenant  or  Integrated  Living  (by  means  of  deductible,
self-insured retentions or excess reinsurance).

                  14.9 Indemnification of Landlord and Litchfield.  Tenant shall
indemnify  and  hold  harmless  Landlord  and  Litchfield  and  their  officers,
directors,  shareholders,  employees,  agents  and  assigns  (collectively,  the
"Landlord Parties") from any and all liabilities,  obligations, losses, demands,
judgments,    actions,   suits,   causes   of   action,   claims,   proceedings,
investigations,   citations,  matters,  damages,  penalties,  sanctions,  costs,
expenses,   and  disbursements   (including,   without  limitation,   reasonable
attorneys'  and  consultants'  fees and  expenses),  whether  or not  subject to
litigation (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Claims") of any kind or
character imposed upon,  arising out of, in connection with,  incurred or in any
way attributed or relating to the following:

                  (a)        the use,  operation,  possession,  or management of
                             the Premises by Tenant  beginning on the  Effective
                             Date of this  Sublease  and during the Term of this
                             Sublease until the Lease Termination Date;

                  (b)        the   breach   or   failure   by   Tenant   of  any
                             representation,   warranty  or  covenant   that  is
                             contained in this Sublease;

                  (c)        any  and  all  Claims  accruing  on  or  after  the
                             Effective  Date of this  Sublease  relating  to any

                             including,  but not limited to, (i) the termination
                             or  discharge  of any  current or former  employee,

                             the Facility on or after the Effective Date of this
                             Sublease,  (ii) Claims  under  federal,  state,  or
                             local laws,  rules or  regulations,  accruing on or

                            contrary in this  subsection  (e), in the event that
                            any Environmental  Liability accrues or arises on or
                            after the Effective Date of this Sublease but is not
                            attributable  to the use,  possession,  operation or
                            management of the Facility by Tenant, then all costs
                            and  expenses  associated  with such Claim  shall be
                            shared equally by Tenant and Litchfield.  All Claims
                            under  this  subsection  (e)  shall be  resolved  in
                            accordance  with the  procedure set forth in Section
                            15.7(d) of the Facilities Agreement.

                  Tenant  further  covenants  and agrees to defend the  Landlord
Parties on account of said Claims and to pay any  judgment  against the Landlord
Parties,  or any other amount as indicated in this Section 14.9,  along with all
reasonable costs and expenses relative to any such Claims,  including attorneys'
fees  and  expenses;   provided,  however,  that  the  Landlord  Parties  shall,
nevertheless,  have the right, if they so elect, to participate (with counsel of
their choosing, which counsel must be approved by Tenant, which approval may not
be unreasonably  withheld) in the defense of any such Claim in which they may be
a party without  relieving  Tenant of the  obligation to defend the same. To the
extent applicable, the Landlord Parties covenant not to settle or compromise any
Claim under this section  without the written  consent of Tenant,  which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed under the 

                                       26

circumstances.  Failure to comply with the preceding  covenant shall be deemed a
complete  waiver of any rights that  Landlord has or may have under this Section
14.9.

                  The  indemnities  of Tenant set forth in this Section 14.9 and
the  obligations  of Tenant related  thereto shall remain  operative and in full
force  during  the  Term of this  Sublease;  however,  the  indemnities  and the
obligations of Tenant related  thereto shall terminate with respect to any Claim
not asserted by the Landlord Parties to Tenant on or before the date that is one
year from the Lease Termination Date (the "Indemnities Termination Date").

                  Any Claim for indemnification under this Section 14.9 which is
asserted in writing to Tenant by the Landlord  Parties prior to the  Indemnities
Termination  Date shall survive the  termination of the survival  period for the
indemnities and the obligations of Tenant as provided herein.

contained  herein  shall  for  any  reason  be held to be  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable in any respect,  such invalidity,  illegality or  unenforceability
shall not affect any other  provision of this Sublease,  but this Sublease shall

contained herein.

                  15.11 Pronouns.  All pronouns and any variations thereof shall

                  Section 2. Piggyback Registration.
                             -----------------------

                  (a) If the Company  shall  determine  to  register  any of its
securities  either for its own  account or the  account of a security  holder or
holders  exercising their respective demand  registration  rights,  other than a
registration  on any form  which  does not  permit  secondary  sales or does not
include  substantially  the same information as would be required to be included
in a registration  statement  covering the sale of Registrable  Securities,  the
Company will:

                           (i)  promptly  give to  each  Holder  written  notice
                  thereof  (which shall include a list of the  jurisdictions  in
                  which  the  Company   intends  to  


                                       -2-

<PAGE>

                  attempt to qualify such  securities  under the applicable blue
                  sky or other state securities laws); and


                           (ii)  include in such  registration  (and any related
                  qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in
                  any  underwriting   involved  therein,   all  the  Registrable
                  Securities  specified in a written request or requests made by
                  any Holder within  twenty-five  (25) days after receipt of the
                  written notice from the Company described in clause (i) above.
                  Such  written  request may specify all or a part of a Holder's
                  Registrable Securities.

For  purposes of any  registration  pursuant to this  Section 2 the Holders of a
majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities to be registered shall choose
the  counsel  for all of the  selling  Holders.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing
provisions,  the Company may withdraw any registration  statement referred to in
this Section 2 for any reason  without  thereby  incurring  any liability to the
Holders   requesting   inclusion  of  their   Registrable   Securities  in  such
registration.

                  (b)  Underwriting.  If the  registration  of which the Company
gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting,  the
Company  shall so advise  each  Holder  as a part of the  written  notice  given
pursuant to Section 2(a)(i). If any Holder proposes to distribute its securities
through  such  underwriting  it shall  (together  with the Company and the other
persons who, by virtue of agreements  with the Company,  are entitled to include
their   securities  in  any  such   registration   (the  "Other   Stockholders")
distributing  their  securities   through  such  underwriting)   enter  into  an
underwriting  agreement in customary form with the  underwriter or  underwriters
selected by the Company.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2,
if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a
limitation  on the number of shares to be  underwritten,  the  Company  shall so
advise all  holders of  securities  requesting  registration,  and the number of
shares of securities  that are entitled to be included in the  registration  and
underwriting  shall be allocated in the following manner:  the securities of the
Company held by officers and  directors  of the Company  shall be excluded  from
such  registration  and  underwriting  to the extent required by such limitation
(pro rata based upon the number of  securities  requested to be included in such
registration by each such person),  and, if further  limitation on the number of
shares is required,  the  securities  of the Company held by Other  Stockholders
(other than Other Stockholders  exercising demand registration  rights) shall be
excluded from such  registration  to the extent required by such limitation (pro
rata  based upon the  number of  securities  requested  to be  included  in such
registration by each such person),  and if a further limitation on the number of
shares is  required,  the  Registrable  Securities  that may be  included in the
registration  and  underwriting  shall  be  allocated  among  all  such  Holders
requesting  inclusion  in  the  registration  pursuant  to  this  Section  2  in
proportion,  as nearly as practicable,  to the respective amounts of Registrable
Securities  which they had requested to be included in such  registration at the
time of filing  the  registration  statement.  If any  Holder or any  officer or
director of the  Company or Other  Stockholder  disapproves  of the terms of any
such  underwriting,  he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company  and the  managing  underwriter.  Any  Registrable  Securities  or other
securities  


                                       -3-

<PAGE>


excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(c), be withdrawn from such registration.


                  Section 3. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses
incurred  in  connection  with any  registration,  qualification  or  compliance
pursuant  to this  Agreement  shall  be borne by the  Company,  and all  Selling
Expenses  shall be borne by the Holders of the securities so registered pro rata
on the basis of the number of their shares so registered


                  Section 4.  Registration  on Form S-3.  After the  Company has
qualified  for the use of Form S-3 or any  successor  form,  in  addition to the
rights contained in the foregoing  provisions of this Agreement,  the Holders of
Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3
(such  requests  shall be in  writing  and shall  state the  number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition
of such shares by such Holder or Holders);  provided,  however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to file more than one Form S-3 in any six-month period.

                  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Company  shall  not  be
required to effect registration under this Section 4 if counsel for the Company,
reasonably acceptable to the Holders requesting  registration,  shall deliver an
opinion  reasonably  acceptable  to the Holders  requesting  registration  that,
pursuant to Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act or  otherwise,  such Holders can
publicly  sell the  Registrable  Securities  as to which  registration  has been
requested  without  registration  under  the  Securities  Act  and  without  any
limitation  with  respect to  offerees,  manner of  offering  or the size of the
transaction.


                  Section  5.  Registration  Procedures.  In the  case  of  each
registration  effected by the Company  pursuant to this  Agreement,  the Company
will  keep  each  Holder  advised  in  writing  as to  the  initiation  of  each
registration  and  as  to  the  completion  thereof.  Whenever  the  holders  of
Registrable  Securities  have  requested  that  any  Registrable  Securities  be
registered pursuant to this Agreement,  the Company will use its best efforts to
effect  the  registration  and  the  sale  of  such  Registrable  Securities  in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto
the Company will at its expense and as expeditiously as possible:

                  (a)  Prepare  and file  with  the  Commission  a  registration
statement with respect to such  Registrable  Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration  statement to become effective;  provided that before
filing a  registration  statement or  prospectus  or any amendment or supplement
thereto,  including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing
of any registration  statement,  the Company shall furnish to the Holders of the
Registrable   Securities   covered  by  such  registration   statement  and  the
underwriters,  if any, copies of all such documents  proposed to be filed, which
documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriters;

                                       -4-


<PAGE>


                  (b) Prepare and file with the Commission  such  amendments and
post-effective  amendments  to a  registration  statement as may be necessary to
keep such registration effective for a period of twelve (12) months or until the
Holder or Holders have completed the distribution  described in the registration
statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided,  however, that the
Company,  in good faith,  may delay the filing of any amendment or supplement to
the  Registration  Statement for a reasonable  period of time, not to exceed 120
days, in order to permit the Company (A) to effect  disclosure or disposition or
consummation of any transaction requiring  confidential treatment which is being
actively  pursued  at such  time  and  which  would  require  disclosure  in the
Registration  Statement or (B) to negotiate,  effect or complete any transaction
which the Company reasonably believes might be jeopardized, delayed or made more
costly to the Company by disclosure in the Registration Statement;  and provided
further,  however,  that (i) such 12 month period shall be extended for a period
of time equal to the period the Holder  refrains  from  selling  any  securities
included in such  registration  in accordance  with the provisions of Section 11
hereof; (ii) such 12 month period shall be extended by the number of days during
the  period  from and  including  the date of the giving of notice  pursuant  to
Section 5(e) hereof to and  including  the date when each Holder of  Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies
of the supplemented or amended  prospectus  contemplated by Section 5(e) hereof;
and (iii) in the case of any registration of Registrable  Securities on Form S-3
which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 12 month
period shall be  extended,  if  necessary,  to keep the  registration  statement
effective  until all such  Registrable  Securities are sold,  provided that Rule
415, or any successor  rule under the Securities  Act,  permits an offering on a
continuous or delayed basis,  and provided  further that applicable  rules under
the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a  post-effective  amendment
permit,  in lieu of filing a  post-effective  amendment  which (y)  includes any
prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the  Securities Act or (z) reflects
facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information
set forth in the registration  statement,  the incorporation by reference in the
registration statement of periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that contain the information  required to be included in (y)
and (z) above;

                  (c) Cause the related  prospectus  to be  supplemented  by any
required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented,  to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424 under  the  Securities  Act;  and  comply  with the  provisions  of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration  statement  during  such  period in  accordance  with the  intended
methods of  disposition  by the sellers  thereof set forth in such  registration
statement or supplement to such prospectus;

                  (d) Furnish such number of  prospectuses  and other  documents
incident thereto,  including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus as
a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

                  (e) Notify each  seller of  Registered  Securities  covered by
such  registration  statement at any time when a prospectus  relating thereto is
required to be delivered  under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration  statement, as
then in effect,  includes  an 

                                       -5-

<PAGE>


untrue  statement of a material  fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading
in the light of the circumstances then existing,  and at the request of any such
seller,  prepare and furnish to such seller a  reasonable  number of copies of a
supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not
include an untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the  statements  therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

                  (f) Cause all such Registered  Securities to be listed on each
securities  exchange on which similar  securities issued by the Company are then
listed or, if not then listed,  cause such Registered  Securities to be included
in a national automated quotation system;

                  (g) Provide a transfer  agent and registrar for all Registered
Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registered  Securities,  in each case
not later than the effective date of such registration;

                  (h) Make  available for  inspection  during  regular  business
hours by any seller of Registrable Securities,  any underwriter participating in
any  disposition  pursuant to such  registration  statement,  and any  attorney,
accountant  or  other  agent   retained  by  any  such  seller  or   underwriter
(collectively,  the  "Inspectors"),  all financial and other records,  pertinent
corporate  documents and properties of the Company  (collectively the "Records")
as shall be reasonably  necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
responsibility,  and cause the  Company's  officers,  directors,  employees  and
independent  accountants to supply all information  reasonably requested by such
seller, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such registration
statement.   Records  which  the  Company  determines,  in  good  faith,  to  be
confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential  shall not be
disclosed  by the  Inspectors  unless  (A) the  disclosure  of such  Records  is
necessary to avoid or correct any  misstatement or omission in the  registration
statement,  (B) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or
other order from a court of competent  jurisdiction,  or (C) the  disclosure  of
such Records is required by any governmental  regulatory body with  jurisdiction
over any seller of Registrable  Securities.  Such seller,  upon  learning,  that
disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, shall
notify  the  Company  and  allow  the  Company,  at its  expense,  to  undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

                  (i) Cooperate  with the sellers of Registered  Securities  and
the managing  underwriter(s),  if any, to facilitate the timely  preparation and
delivery of  certificates  representing  the  Registered  Securities to be sold,
without any restrictive  legends,  in such  denominations and registered in such
names as the  managing  underwriter(s)  may request at least two  business  days
prior to any sale thereof to the underwriters, if applicable;

                  (j) Obtain from its accountants  "cold-comfort" letters, dated
the effective date of the registration  statement and the date of the closing of
the sale of the 

                                       -6-

Registered Securities,  and addressed to the Company and the selling Holders, in
form and substance as are  customarily  issued in connection  with  underwritten
public  offerings and  otherwise  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Company and a
majority-in-interest of the selling Holders;

                  (k) Obtain  from its  counsel  an  opinion,  addressed  to the
selling Holders,  with respect to the offering in form and substance  reasonably
satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the selling Holders;

                  (l)  Otherwise  use  its  best  efforts  to  comply  with  all
applicable  rules and regulations of the  Commission,  and make available to its
security  holders,  as soon as  reasonably  practicable,  an earnings  statement
covering  the  period of at least  twelve  months,  but not more  than  eighteen
months,  beginning  with  the  first  month  after  the  effective  date  of the
Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act;

                  (m) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a
registration  statement  filed  pursuant to Section 4 hereof,  the Company  will
enter into any underwriting  agreement  reasonably necessary to effect the offer
and  sale  of  Common  Stock,  provided  such  underwriting  agreement  contains
customary underwriting,  indemnification and contribution provisions;  provided,
however,  that no Holder will be liable for  indemnification  or contribution in
excess of the net proceeds such Holder received in the offering;

                  (n)  Use  its  best   efforts  to  register  or  qualify  such
Registrable  Securities  under  such other  securities  or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions  as any seller  reasonably  requests and do any and all other acts
and things which may be reasonably  necessary or advisable to enable such seller
to  consummate  the  disposition  in  such   jurisdictions  of  the  Registrable
Securities  owned by such seller (provided that the Company will not be required
to (i) qualify  generally to do business in any jurisdiction  where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph,  (ii) subject itself
to  taxation in any such  jurisdiction  or (iii)  consent to general  service of
process in any such jurisdiction);

                  (o) Use its best efforts to cause such Registrable  Securities
covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
other  governmental  agencies or  authorities  as may be necessary to enable the
sellers  thereof to consummate the disposition of such  Registrable  Securities;
and

                  (p) Take all such other  actions as the  Holders of a majority
of  the  Registrable  Securities  being  sold  and  the  underwriters,  if  any,
reasonably  request in order to expedite or facilitate  the  disposition of such
Registrable Securities (including,  without limitation,  effecting a stock split
or combination of shares).

                  Section 6. Indemnification; Contribution.
                             -----------------------------

                  (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify
each Holder,  each of its officers,  directors,  members and partners,  and each
person   controlling   such  Holder,   with   respect  to  which   registration,
qualification or compliance has been effected  pursuant to this Agreement,  each
director and  controlling  person of the Company and each officer of the Company
who signed the registration  statement,  and each underwriter,  if any, and each
person who controls any  underwriter,  against all claims,  losses,  damages and
liabilities  (or actions,  proceedings or settlements,  if such  settlements are
effected with the written consent of the Company,  in respect  thereof)  arising
out of or based on any untrue  statement  (or  alleged  untrue  statement)  of a
material fact contained in any prospectus,  offering  circular or other document
(including  any  related  registration  statement,  notification  or  the  like)
incident to any such registration,  qualification or compliance, or any omission
(or alleged  omission) to state  therein a material  fact  required to be stated
therein or  necessary  to make the  statements  therein not  misleading,  or any
violation by the Company of the  Securities  Act or the Exchange Act or any rule
or  regulation  thereunder  applicable  to the Company and relating to action or
inaction  required  of the  Company in  connection  with any such  registration,
qualification  or compliance,  and will reimburse each such Holder,  each of its
officers,  directors,  members and partners,  and each person  controlling  such
Holder,  each  such  director,   controlling  person  and  officer,   each  such
underwriter and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and
any other expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection  with  investigating  and
defending  or  settling  any such  claim,  loss,  damage,  liability,  action or
proceeding;  provided,  however, that the Company will not be liable in any such
case to the extent  that any such  claim,  loss,  damage,  liability  or expense
arises  out of or is based on any  untrue  statement  or  omission  made in such
registration  statement,  prospectus,  offering  circular  or other  document in
reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  written  information  furnished  to the
Company by such  Holder or  underwriter  and stated to be  specifically  for use
therein.

                  (b) To the extent  permitted  by law,  each  Holder  will,  if
Registrable  Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to
which  such  registration,   qualification  or  compliance  is  being  effected,
indemnify the Company, each of its directors,  officers and controlling persons,
and each  underwriter,  if any, of the  Company's  securities  covered by such a
registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter
within the meaning of the  Securities  Act or the  Exchange Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder,  each other such Holder and Other Stockholder (if and to
the extent such Other  Stockholder  has agreed to  indemnify  the Holders as set
forth in this clause (b)) including Registrable  Securities and other securities
in the securities as to which such registration,  qualification or compliance is
being effected, and each of their officers, directors, members and partners, and
each person  controlling such Holder or Other  Stockholder,  against all claims,
losses,  damages and  liabilities  (or actions,  proceedings  or  settlements in
respect  thereof)  arising out of or based on any untrue  statement  (or alleged
untrue  statement)  of a  material  fact  contained  in  any  such  registration
statement,  prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading,  and will reimburse
the Company and such Holders, Other Stockholders,  


                                       -8-

<PAGE>


directors, officers, members, partners, persons, underwriters or control persons
for any legal or any other  expenses  reasonably  incurred  in  connection  with
investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability,
action or proceeding,  in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,  that
such untrue  statement  (or alleged  untrue  statement)  or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such registration statement,  prospectus, offering circular
or other  document in reliance upon and in conformity  with written  information
furnished  to the Company by such Holder and stated to be  specifically  for use
therein;  provided,  however, that the obligations of each such Holder hereunder
shall be limited to an amount  equal to the net  proceeds to each such Holder of
securities sold as contemplated herein.

                  (c) Each party entitled to indemnification  under this Section
6 (the  "Indemnified  Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the  Indemnifying  Party to assume  the  defense of any such claim or any
litigation  resulting  therefrom,  provided  that  counsel for the  Indemnifying
Party,  who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation  resulting
therefrom,  shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably  be withheld),  and the  Indemnified  Party may participate in such
defense at such party's  expense,  and provided  further that the failure of any
Indemnified  Party to give  notice as  provided  herein  shall not  relieve  the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement,  unless such failure
to notify  materially  adversely  affects the  Indemnifying  Party's  ability to
defend such action.  No Indemnifying  Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement  which does not include as an
unconditional  term  thereof  the giving by the  claimant or  plaintiff  to such
Indemnified  Party of a release  from all  liability in respect of such claim or
litigation.  Each  Indemnified  Party shall furnish such  information  regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying  Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of
such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

                  (d) If the  indemnification  provided  for in this  Section  6
shall  for  any  reason  be  unenforceable  by an  Indemnified  Party,  although
otherwise  available in accordance with its terms, then each Indemnifying  Party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party,  contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such  Indemnified  Party as a result of the  losses,  claims,
damages,  liabilities or expenses with respect to which such  Indemnified  Party
has claimed indemnification, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative  fault of the  Indemnified  Party on the one hand and the  Indemnifying
Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault, in the case of an untrue
statement,  alleged untrue  statement,  omission or alleged  omission,  shall be
determined by, among other things,  whether such statement,  alleged  statement,
omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying
Party or the Indemnified  Party, and such parties'  relative intent,  knowledge,
access to  information  and  opportunity  to correct or prevent such  statement,
alleged  statement,  omission or alleged  omission.  The Company and each Holder
agree that it would not be just and equitable 


                                       -9-

<PAGE>


if contribution  pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro rata allocation or
by any  other  method  of  allocation  which  does not take  into  account  such
equitable considerations.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as
a result of the losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or expenses  referred to
herein  shall be  deemed  to  include  any  legal or other  expenses  reasonably
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending
against any action or claim which is the subject  hereof.  In no case,  however,
shall a Holder be responsible  for a portion of the  contribution  obligation in
excess of the net  proceeds to such Holder of  securities  sold as  contemplated
herein. No person guilty of fraudulent  misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution  from any
person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

                  (e)  Anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Section 6
notwithstanding,   no  Holder  shall  be  liable  for  any   indemnification  or
contribution  in  excess  of the net  proceeds  received  by it from any sale of
Registrable Securities which has been registered hereunder.


                  Section 7. Obligations of Holder.
                             ----------------------

                  (a) Each  Holder of  Registrable  Securities  included  in any
registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder
and the  distribution  proposed by such  Holder as the  Company  may  reasonably
request in writing and as shall be reasonably  required in  connection  with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.

                  (b)  Each  Holder  of the  Registrable  Securities  agrees  by
acquisition of such  Registered  Securities that upon receipt of any notice from
the Company  pursuant to Section 5(e),  such Holder will  forthwith  discontinue
such Holder's disposition of Registered  Securities pursuant to the registration
statement relating to such Registered  Securities until such Holder's receipt of
the copies of the  supplemented  or amended  prospectus  contemplated by Section
5(e) and,  if so directed by the  Company,  will  deliver to the Company (at the
Company's  expense) all copies,  other than permanent file copies,  then in such
Holder's possession of the prospectus relating to such Registered  Securities at
the time of receipt of such notice.

                  Section  8.   Limitations   on   Registration   of  Issues  of
Securities.  Any right given by the Company to any holder or prospective  holder
of the Company's  securities in connection  with the  registration of securities
shall be  conditioned  such that it shall be  consistent  with the rights of the
Holders provided in this Agreement.


                  Section 9. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available
to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and  regulations  of the Commission
which may  permit a Holder  to sell  securities  of the  Company  to the  public
without registration, the Company agrees to:



                                      -10-


<PAGE>


                           (a) Make and keep public  information  available,  as
         those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
         Act,  at  all  times   following  the  effective   date  of  the  first
         registration  under  the  Securities  Act filed by the  Company  for an
         offering of its securities to the general public;

                           (b) Use its best efforts to file with the  Commission
         in a timely  manner all  reports  and other  documents  required of the
         Company  under  the  Securities  Act and the  Exchange  Act at any time
         following  registration  of any of its securities  under the Securities
         Act or Exchange Act; and


                           (c)  So  long  as  a  Holder  owns  any   Registrable
         Securities,  furnish to such Holder  forthwith  upon  request a written
         statement  by the  Company  as to its  compliance  with  the  reporting
         requirements  of Rule 144 (at any time  following the effective date of
         the first  registration  statement filed by the Company for an offering
         of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and
         the Exchange Act following  registration of any of its securities under
         the Securities Act or Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or
         quarterly  report of the Company,  and such other reports and documents
         so filed as a Holder may reasonably  request in availing  itself of any
         rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such
         securities without registration.


                  Section 10. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The
rights to cause the Company to  register  the  securities  granted to IHS by the
Company  under  Sections  2 and 4 may be  transferred  or  assigned  by IHS to a
transferee or assignee of any of IHS' Registrable Securities; provided, however,
that the  Company  is given  written  notice  by IHS at the time of or  within a
reasonable time after said transfer or assignment,  stating the name and address
of said  transferee or assignee and  identifying  the securities with respect to
which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned;  and provided,
further,  that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes the obligations
of IHS under this Agreement.


                  Section 11. "Market Stand-off" Agreement.  Each Holder agrees,
if  requested  by the  Company  and an  underwriter  of  Common  Stock (or other
securities) of the Company,  not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder during the
period  required  by  such  underwriter   following  the  effective  date  of  a
registration  statement of the Company filed under the Securitie Act without the
prior consent of such underwriter,  provided,  however, that all Holders,  Other
Stockholders  and  officers  and  directors  of the Company  enter into  similar
agreements on substantially similar terms.

                  Such  agreement  shall  be in  writing  in a  form  reasonably
satisfactory  to the  Company  and such  underwriter.  The  Company  may  impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or securities) subject to
the foregoing restriction until the end of said period.

                  Section 12. Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities.  The
Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to
the  Registrable  Securities  which  would  adversely  affect the ability of the
Holders of Registrable  Securities to include such  Registrable  Securities in a

affect  the   marketability   of  such   Registrable   Securities  in  any  such

of notice from Buyer,  shall notify Buyer in writing that Seller will attempt to
cure such  unacceptable  exceptions.  If Seller  fails or  refuses  to cure said
unacceptable  exceptions  within the time period above  provided,  Buyer may (i)
terminate  this  Agreement and the Deposit  shall be returned to Buyer,  or (ii)
waive such  exceptions  and accept title subject  thereto,  in which event there

acceptable to Buyer.

         Should such Survey  contain any  encumbrances,  encroachments  or other
survey defects (collectively "survey matters") which are not acceptable to Buyer
in its sole discretion,  Buyer shall,  prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period (as defined in Section  16.01),  notify Seller if any such survey matters
are unacceptable.  If Buyer fails to so notify Seller of the unacceptable survey
matters as described above, the Survey shall be deemed accepted by Buyer. If any
survey matters are  unacceptable  to Buyer and Buyer timely  notifies  Seller in
writing of such fact as above  provided,  Seller,  in Seller's sole  discretion,
shall  have  thirty  (30)  days  from the date  Seller  receives  notice of such
unacceptable survey matters to cure such


                                       -3-

survey matters and the date of Closing shall be extended,  if necessary.  Seller
shall be deemed to have refused to cure any unacceptable  survey matters,  which
Seller may so do in its sole  discretion,  unless  Seller,  within ten (10) days

returned to Buyer,  or (ii) waive such survey  matters and accept title  subject

all differences  shall have been adjusted by agreement between Seller and Buyer,
and Escrow Agent shall have been notified in writing of such agreement signed by

objection from the Notified Party in a timely manner, Escrow Agent shall take no
further action until the dispute between the parties has been resolved  pursuant

occupancy  of the  tenants.  To the  extent any of the  inspections  disrupt the
condition  of the  Property,  Buyer  shall  restore  the  Property  to its prior
condition thereafter and Buyer shall indemnify Seller against any loss or damage
to person or  property  arising  from the conduct of Buyer's  inspection  of the
Property.  The foregoing  provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing

for the License and Buyer shall use diligent  efforts  thereafter  to pursue the
approval of the License.  Seller  agrees to cooperate  with Buyer in  connection
with submission of the application and during the approval process.

                  (c) Board of  Directors  and Lender  Approvals.  It shall be a

Seller's  covenants,  agreements and obligations under this Agreement and all of
Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement
shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

Agreement by written  notice given to Seller on or before the  expiration of the

Buyer,  and,  thereafter,  this Agreement shall be void and without  recourse to
either  party  except  for  provisions  which are  expressly  stated to  survive
termination  of this  Agreement.  In the event Buyer does not so timely  deliver
written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection  Period,
then the foregoing Inspection Condition set forth in Section 16.01(a)





                                      -21-

                  (b) In the event that  Buyer is unable to obtain  the  License

be entitled to terminate  this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on or
before the Closing,  at which time,  the Deposit  shall be promptly  returned to
Buyer,  and,  thereafter,  this Agreement shall be void and without  recourse to
either  party  except  for  provisions  which are  expressly  stated to  survive
termination of this Agreement.

to Section  16.01(c)  on or before  the  Closing,  Buyer  shall be  entitled  to
terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on or before December
1, 1995,  at which time the Deposit  shall be promptly  returned to Buyer,  and,
thereafter  this  Agreement  shall be void and without  recourse to either party

Agreement.

                  (d) In the event  that the  conditions  set  forth in  Section

claims,  proceedings,  investigations,  citations,  matters, damages, penalties,
sanctions,  costs,  expenses, and disbursements  (including,  without limitation

or in  any  way  attributed  or  relating  to  the  breach  or  failure  of  any
representation, warranty or covenant that is contained in this Agreement.

         Seller  further  covenants  and agrees to defend the Buyer  Indemnified

such  Claim  in  which  they  may be a party  without  relieving  Seller  of the
obligation to defend the same. To the extent  applicable,  the Buyer Indemnified
Parties covenant not to settle or compromise any



                                      -24-

<PAGE>

Claim  under this section without the written  consent of Seller,  which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed under the circumstances.  Failure to
comply  with the  preceding  covenant  shall be deemed a complete  waiver of any
rights that the Buyer  Indemnified  Parties  have or may have under this Section
17.11.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have executed this  Agreement
under seal as of the date first above written.

"Buyer").

        WHEREAS,  Seller and Buyer  entered into a Purchase  and Sale  Agreement
dated as of October 4, 1995 (the "Agreement") in connection with the sale of the
Carrington  Pointe  congregate care facility located in Fresno,  California (the

        WHEREAS, the signature block to the Agreement incorrectly identified the

of Liberty  Retirement Limited  Partnership as Liberty Real Estate  Corporation;
and

        WHEREAS, the Seller is Liberty/Carrington Pointe Limited Partnership,  a
Massachusetts  limited partnership (also known as  Liberty/Carrington  Pointe, a

        NOW,  THEREFORE,   in  consideration  of  the  mutual  undertakings  and
covenants  herein  contained,  Seller  and Buyer  hereby  covenant  and agree as
follows:

         1.  Section 2.01 of the  Agreement  is amended by adding the  following
additional provisions thereto:

             "Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  this  Section  2.01  to  the

             b. In the event the Buyer is  unable to obtain  the  License  on or
         before  December 28, 1995 the parties  shall use good faith  efforts to
         agree  upon  the  terms  of  an  irrevocable   escrow   agreement  (the
         "Irrevocable Escrow") which shall provide,  among other terms, that (i)
         on or before  December 28, 1995,  the Buyer shall  deliver the Purchase
         Price into escrow,  and Seller  shall  deliver the Deed into escrow and
         the parties shall deliver all other documents required for closing into
         escrow,  (ii) until the close of escrow,  the Seller  shall  remain the
         owner of the  Property  and the Buyer  shall  remain the manager of the

         License,  the escrow agent shall be irrevocably  required to record the
         Deed and deliver the Purchase Price to Seller and (v) if the License is
         not issued on or before January 31, 1996, unless extended in writing by
         mutual agreement of the Buyer and Seller, the escrow shall be rescinded
         and the escrow  agent  shall  return the Deed to the Seller and deliver
         the Purchase Price to Buyer.  If the parties are able to mutually agree
         upon and execute the  Irrevocable  Escrow and pursuant  thereto,  Buyer
         delivers the Purchase  Price to the escrow agent on or before  December
         28, 1995,  the  Purchase  Price to be paid by Buyer shall be reduced by
         the  sum of Two  Hundred  Fifty  Thousand  Dollars  ($250,000.00)  from
         $12,300,000.00 to  $12,050,000.00,  subject to all other prorations and
         adjustments otherwise provided for in the Agreement. If the parties are
         unable to mutually agree upon and execute the Irrevocable  Escrow on or
         before December 25, 1995, the provision of this subsection (b) shall be
         null and void."

                          REVOLVING CREDIT DEMAND NOTE
                          ----------------------------

$750,000.00                                             Dated: February 29, 1996
                                                                     


         FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,   the   undersigned,   LORI  ZITO  D/B/A  ELDERLY
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY ("Borrower"),  hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the
order of INTEGRATED  HEALTH  SERVICES  RETIREMENT  MANAGEMENT,  INC., a Delaware
corporation ("Lender"), ON DEMAND, the principal amount of each loan made by the
Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Security  Agreement,
the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  which  loans  to  Borrower  at  any  time
outstanding   shall  not  exceed  the  sum  of  SEVEN  HUNDRED  FIFTY   THOUSAND
($750,000.00) DOLLARS, together with interest thereon as hereinafter provided.

         This Note  shall bear  interest  from its date  until  maturity  on the
principal  amount  outstanding  from time to time  hereunder  (calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve  30-day  months) at a rate of eleven and three
quarters  of one  (11-3/4%)  per cent per  annum,  such  interest  to be due and
payable monthly in arrears and upon demand. Each payment made hereunder shall be
applied  first to the payment of all accrued  interest and the balance  shall be
applied to the principal.

         Notwithstanding  any  provision  contained  herein or in the  Revolving
Credit and Security  Agreement,  the total  liability of Borrower for payment of
interest pursuant hereto,  including late charges,  shall not exceed the maximum
amount of such interest permitted by law to be charged,  collected,  or received
from  Borrower,  and if any payments by Borrower  include  interest in excess of
such a maximum  amount,  Lender shall apply such excess to the  reduction of the
unpaid  principal  amount due pursuant  hereto,  or if none is due,  such excess
shall be refunded to Borrower.

         This Note is the Loan Note  referred  to in the  Revolving  Credit  and
Security  Agreement of even date  herewith  made by and between the Borrower and
the  Lender  (the  "Revolving  Credit  and  Security  Agreement").  This Note is
entitled  to all  of the  benefits  under  the  Revolving  Credit  and  Security
Agreement and the other agreements and documents executed pursuant thereto or in
connection therewith  (collectively,  the "Loan Documents").  Borrower shall pay
all costs of collection of this Note, including reasonable attorney's fees.

         The Lender is authorized but not required to record the date and amount
of each loan made,  the date and amount of any principal  and interest  payment,
and the principal  balance hereof on any schedule  which may be attached  hereto
and made a part  hereof,  and any such  recordation  shall,  in the  absence  of
manifest  error,  constitute  prima  facie  evidence  of  the  accuracy  of  the
information  so recorded;  provided  however,  that the  Lender's  failure to so
record shall not limit the  obligations of the Borrower  hereunder and under the
Revolving Credit and Security  Agreement to pay the principal of and interest on
the loans.

         Borrower waives notice of demand,  presentment  for payment,  notice of
protest,  and protest of this Note.  All rights and remedies given by this Note,
the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and by law
are  cumulative  and not  exclusive  of any  thereof  or of any other  rights or
remedies  available to the Lender and no course of dealing between  Borrower and
the Lender,  or any delay or omission in exercising  any right or remedy,  shall
operate  as a waiver of any right or remedy,  and every  right and remedy may be
exercised  from  time to time and as often as  shall be  deemed  appropriate  by
Lender.

Original  Note from and after the date hereof (the  Original Note as modified by
this Allonge being hereinafter referred to as the "Note"). Terms capitalized but
not  otherwise   defined   herein  shall  have  the  meanings   given  to  them,
respectively, in the Original Note.

         The Original  Note is hereby  amended by amending  the first  Paragraph

                     REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
                     ---------------------------------------



         AGREEMENT made as of the 29th day of February,  1996, between LORI ZITO
D/B/A  ELDERLY  DEVELOPMENT  COMPANY (the  "Borrower"),  and  INTEGRATED  HEALTH
SERVICES RETIREMENT MANAGEMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lender").

         WHEREAS,  Borrower is the holder of five land  contracts in  Escondido,
Yorba Linda,  Riverside,  Rancho Mirage,  and Sen  Bernardino,  California  (the
"Sites") and any  additional  land  contracts  entered into by Borrower with the
approval of Lender, as scheduled on Exhibit A attached hereto (collectively, the
"Land Contracts"); and

         WHEREAS, Borrower wishes to obtain a loan to finance the development of
assisted living facilities ("Facilities") on the Sites; and

         WHEREAS,  Lender is willing to make  available  to Borrower a revolving
line of credit in the maximum  amount of  $750,000.00,  and  Borrower  wishes to
obtain such revolving line of credit,  all upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set
forth, and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the parties hereby agree
that:

1.       Revolving Credit Loan.
         ---------------------
         Subject  to the  terms  and  conditions  hereof  and  relying  upon the
representations and warranties of Borrower herein set forth, Lender shall make a
revolving  credit  loan  ("Loan")  to  Borrower,  provided  that  the  aggregate
principal  amount of all Loans at any one time outstanding to the Borrower shall
not exceed the sum of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND ($750,000.00) DOLLARS. Within
such limits of amount,  and subject to the other  provisions of this  Agreement,
the Borrower  may borrow,  repay,  and reborrow  pursuant to this Section 1. The
proceeds of the Loan shall only be used for the  development  of the  Facilities
pursuant to the Land  Contracts.  At any time when Borrower wishes to borrow any
amounts under the Loan,  Borrower will notify Lender of the amount requested and
proposed use of the proceeds, and, subject to Lender's approval, Lender will use
its best  efforts  to remit the amount  requested  to  Borrower  within ten (10)
business days of the request.

2.       Loan Note.
         ----------
         The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate  unpaid principal
amount of the Loans, together with interest thereon,  shall be evidenced by that
certain  revolving credit demand note (the "Loan Note") of Borrower of even date
herewith, payable to the order of Lender in a


                                        1

<PAGE>



face amount equal to the maximum loan amount set forth in Section 1, above,  and
payable upon the demand of Lender.

3.       Repayment of the Loan.
         ---------------------
         (a)      Interest  on the Loan shall be  payable  monthly at a rate per
annum of eleven and three quarters of one (11-3/4%) percent.

         (b)      The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan Note, and
all accrued and unpaid interest  thereon,  shall be fully due and payable by the
Borrower upon the demand of the Lender.

4.       Grant of Security Interest.
         --------------------------
         (a)      Borrower hereby grants to Lender a lien and security  interest
in all of the following described property (the "Collateral"):

                  (i)      Borrower's   interest   in   any   and   all  of  the
documentation,   including   architectural   plans,   of  the   development  and
construction of the Facilities;

                  (ii)     an assignment of the Land Contracts;

                  (iii)    Borrower's interest in any and all licenses,  permits
and other governmental approvals for the Facilities; and

                  (iv)     any and all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

         (b) The lien and security  interest  granted  herein is given to secure
performance and payment of all obligations, fees and indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender or any of its  subsidiaries  of  whatever  kind and  whenever  or however
created or  incurred,  whether now existing or  hereafter  arising  (hereinafter
called the  "Obligations"),  including,  without  limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any such obligations or indebtedness arising under this Agreement.

         (c)  Borrower  will  take any and all  action  requested  by  Lender to
perfect  Lender's  security  interest in the Collateral  granted pursuant to the
terms of this Section 4, including, without limitation, the execution and filing
of financing statements in any jurisdiction which Lender deems appropriate.

5.       Priority of Lien.
         -----------------
         Borrower  represents,  warrants and agrees that (i) Borrower  owns good
and indefeasible title to the Collateral,  (ii) no security interest or lien has
been created by  Borrower,  or is known by Borrower to exist with respect to any
Collateral, (iii) no financing statement or other security


                                        2

<PAGE>



instrument  is on  file  in any  jurisdiction  covering  such  Collateral,  (iv)
Borrower will not create any other  security  interest or lien and will not file
or permit to be filed any other financing statement or other security instrument
with respect to the Collateral other than required pursuant to Section 4 hereof,
without the consent of Lender,  (v) Borrower will not incur any additional  debt
without the prior  written  consent of Lender,  and (vi) Borrower will not sell,
assign,  transfer or in any other way alienate  Borrower's rights under the Land
Contracts  without the prior written  consent of Lender.  Borrower will execute,
deliver  and file  such  financing  statements,  security  agreements  and other
documents as may be  requested  by Lender from time to time to confirm,  perfect
and preserve the  security  interest  created  hereby,  and in addition,  hereby
authorizes  Lender  to  execute  on behalf of  Borrower,  deliver  and file such
financing  statements,  security  agreements  and other  documents  without  the
signatures of Borrower, all at the expense of Borrower. The lien herein referred
to as security for the Obligations,  in favor of Lender,  is and shall be first,
prior and superior to all other liens with respect to the Collateral.

6.       Additional Covenants of Borrower.
         --------------------------------
         (a)  Until  the  Obligations  are  paid in  full,  and  subject  to the
provisions of Section 7, below, Borrower agrees that she will:

                  (i)      furnish  or cause to be  furnished  to the Lender any
                           financial  or other  information  that the Lender may
                           reasonably deem necessary or desirable;

                  (ii)     duly pay and  discharge  all taxes,  assessments  and
                           governmental  charges owed by or against  Borrower or
                           any of its  properties,  prior  to the  date on which
                           penalty will attach  thereto,  unless and only to the
                           extent  that any such  taxes  are  contested  in good
                           faith by appropriate proceedings by Borrower;

                  (iii)    take  whatever  actions are  necessary to comply with
                           all   statutes   and   regulations    governing   the
                           construction of the Facilities;

                  (iv)     promptly  cure  any  defects  in  the  execution  and
                           delivery of this Agreement and all other  instruments
                           executed in connection with this transaction;

                  (v)      execute  and  deliver  or  cause to be  executed  and
                           delivered any other  instruments  or documents  which
                           the Lender may reasonably request;

                  (vi)     promptly  notify  the  Lender of any Event of Default
                           discovered by Borrower;

                  (vii)    provide  Lender  with  monthly   development  reports
                           regarding the status of the Sites, including, without
                           limitation,  progress  updates  on any  relevant  due
                           diligence   dates  and   deadlines   under  the  Land
                           Contracts; and

                                        3

<PAGE>

                  (viii)   not  incur  any  pre-development  costs for the Sites
                           without the prior  approval of Lender which shall not
                           be unreasonably withheld.

7.       Remedies.
         --------
         If all or any part of the  Obligations  shall  become due and  payable,
Lender shall have in any jurisdiction  where  enforcement  hereof is sought,  in
addition to all other rights and remedies  which Lender may have under law or in
equity,  the following rights and remedies:  to foreclose the liens and security
interests created under this agreement or under any other agreement  relating to
Collateral by any available judicial  procedure or without judicial process,  to
enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking
possession or removing the same, to sell, assign, lease, or otherwise dispose of
the  Collateral or any part thereof,  either at public or private sale or at any
broker's  board,  in lots or in bulk, for cash, on credit or otherwise,  with or
without  representations  or  warranties,  and  upon  such  terms  as  shall  be
acceptable  to Lender,  all at  Lender's  sole  option and as Lender in its sole
discretion  may deem  advisable,  and  Lender  and  Borrower  may bid or  become
purchaser at any such sale if public, free from any right of redemption which is
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower,  and Lender shall have the right at its
option  to  apply  or be  credited  with  the  amount  of all or any part of the
Obligations owing to Lender against the purchase price bid by Lender at any such
sale. The net cash proceeds  resulting from the collection,  liquidation,  sale,
lease or other disposition of Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses
(including all attorneys' fees) of retaking,  holding,  storing,  processing and
preparing for sale, selling,  collecting,  liquidating and the like, and then to
the satisfaction of all Obligations, application as to particular Obligations or
against  principal  or  interest  to be in  Lender's  absolute  discretion.  The
Borrower  shall be  liable to  Lender  and  shall  pay to  Lender on demand  any
deficiency  which  may  remain  after  such  sale,  disposition,  collection  or
liquidation  of  Collateral,  and Lender in turn agrees to remit to the Borrower
any surplus remaining after all Obligations have been paid in full. The Borrower
will,  at Lender's  request,  assemble all  Collateral  and make it available to
Lender at places which Lender may select, whether at premises of the Borrower or
elsewhere,  and will make available to Lender all premises and facilities of the
Borrower  for the purpose of Lender's  taking  possession  of  Collateral  or of
removing or putting the Collateral in saleable form.

8.       Waivers.
         -------
         With respect to both  Obligations and Collateral,  the Borrower assents
to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or other indulgence,  to
any substitution,  exchange or release of Collateral, to the addition or release
of any party or person  primarily or  secondarily  liable,  to the acceptance of
partial  payments  thereon and the settlement,  compromising or adjusting of any
thereof,  all in such  manner  and at such time or times as the  Lender may deem
advisable. The Lender may exercise its rights with respect to Collateral without
resorting  or  regard  to other  Collateral  or  sources  of  reimbursement  for
Obligations.  The  Lender  shall not be deemed to have  waived any of its rights
upon or under  Obligations  or  Collateral  unless such waiver be in writing and

Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall
be cumulative and may be exercised separately or concurrently.

9.  Transfers by Lender.
    -------------------
         Lender may  transfer any or all of the  Obligations,  and upon any such
transfer  Lender may  transfer any or all of the  Collateral  and shall be fully
discharged  thereafter  from all  liability  with respect to the  Collateral  so
transferred,  and the  transferee  shall be vested with all  rights,  powers and
remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to Collateral so transferred; but with
respect to any  Collateral  not so  transferred  Lender shall retain all rights,
powers and remedies  hereby given.  Lender may at any time deliver any or all of
the  Collateral  to  Borrower,  whose  receipt  shall  be a  complete  and  full
acquittance  for the  Collateral  so delivered,  and Lender shall  thereafter be
discharged from any liability therefor.

10.  Definition of Borrower.
     ----------------------
         The term "Borrower" as used throughout this Agreement shall include (a)
the successors and assigns of Borrower; (b) any individual,  association, trust,
partnership,  corporation,  or other entity to which all or substantially all of
the business or assets of Borrower  shall have been  transferred or with or into
which the business of Borrower shall have been merged, consolidated, reorganized
or absorbed;  and (c) in the case of a partnership or joint venture, any general
or limited  partnership or joint venture which shall have been created by reason
of, or continued in existence after, the admission of any new partner,  partners
or joint  venturers  therein or the  dissolution of the existing  partnership or
joint venture by the death,  resignation  or other  withdrawal of any partner or
joint venturer.

11.  Continuing Agreement.
     --------------------
         This is a continuing agreement and all the rights,  powers and remedies
of Lender  hereunder  shall continue to exist unless (a) all  Obligations  shall
have been paid in full, or (b) Lender, upon request of Borrower,  has executed a
termination  statement.  Otherwise this Agreement shall continue irrespective of
the  fact  that any or all of the  Obligations  may have  become  barred  by any
statute of  limitations  or that the liability of Borrower may have ceased,  and
notwithstanding  the death,  incapacity  or  bankruptcy of Borrower or any other
event or  proceeding  affecting  Borrower.  The rights,  powers and  remedies of
Lender  hereunder shall be in addition to all rights,  powers and remedies given
by  statute  or  rule of law  and,  regardless  of  whether  or not the  Uniform
Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction  where such rights,  powers and
remedies are  asserted,  Lender shall have the rights,  powers and remedies of a
Lender under the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended. No forbearance or delay by
Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy shall be deemed a waiver thereof
or  preclude  any other or further  exercise  thereof;  and no single or partial
exercise  of any  right,  power or remedy  shall  preclude  any other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any right, power or remedy.

12.  Maximum Interest.
     ----------------

         All agreements between Borrower and Lender are hereby expressly limited
so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment in
accordance with this Agreement or advancement of the loan proceeds, acceleration
of maturity of the Obligations, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to
be paid to  Lender  for the use,  forbearance  or  detention  of the money to be
loaned hereunder exceed the maximum  permissible  under applicable law. If, from
any circumstance  whatsoever,  fulfillment of any provision  hereof, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit
of validity  prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
                                      ---- -----
shall be reduced  to the limit of such  validity,  and if from any  circumstance
Lender  should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest
lawful rate,  such amount which would be excessive  interest shall be applied to
the  reduction  of the  principal of the  Obligations  and not to the payment of
interest.

13.  Borrower's Representations and Warranties.
     -----------------------------------------
         To  induce  the  Lender to enter  into the  transactions  provided  for
herein, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

         (a)      Borrower  is duly  authorized  to  execute  and  deliver  this
                  Agreement  and to perform  all of her  obligations  under this

                  of whatever additional  documents are necessary or required in
                  connection with the transactions contemplated herein;

         (b)      the execution  and delivery by Borrower of this  Agreement and
                  the  performance  by  Borrower of her  obligations  under this
                  Agreement do not and will not conflict  with any  provision of
                  law,  or of any other  agreement  affecting  or  binding  upon
                  Borrower;

         (c)      this Agreement,  when duly executed and delivered, will be the
                  valid  and  binding  obligation  of  Borrower  enforceable  in
                  accordance  with its terms,  except as limited by  bankruptcy,
                  insolvency  or other laws of general  application  relating to
                  the enforcement of creditors'  rights and except to the extent
                  that the availability of specific  performance  thereof may be
                  limited by principles of equity; and

         (d)      the proceeds of the Loan will be used for  business  purposes,
                  and the Loan constitutes a commercial loan.

                                       TO
                     REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT



         THIS  AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REVOLVING  CREDIT AND SECURITY  AGREEMENT (the

         WHEREAS,  Borrower and Lender have entered into that certain  revolving
credit and security agreement dated February 29, 1996 (the "Revolving Credit and
Security Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS,  pursuant  to the  Revolving  Credit and  Security  Agreement,
Lender made  available  to  Borrower a  revolving  line of credit in the maximum
amount of $750,000, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

         WHEREAS,  Lender was  formerly  known as  "Integrated  Health  Services

         WHEREAS,  the parties wish to amend the  Revolving  Credit and Security
Agreement to increase the maximum amount of the line of credit to $1,000,000.

         NOW THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set
forth, and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the parties hereby agree

            borrow any amounts  under the Loan,  Borrower  will notify Lender of
            the amount  requested  and the  proposed use of the  proceeds,  and,
            subject to Lender's approval, Lender will use its best efforts to

<PAGE>

            remit the amount requested to Borrower within ten (10) business days
            of the request."

         2.  Except as  expressly  amended  hereby,  the  Revolving  Credit  and
Security  Agreement shall remain unchanged in all respects and shall continue in
full force and effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the undersigned have executed this First Amendment

("ILC") compliance with and acceptance of the terms and conditions of each lease
as herein set forth and of the terms and conditions set forth in an agreement of
sale  and  purchase  for each  facility,  each of which  are to be  prepared  in
accordance with CCT's customary documentation and with the terms of this letter.
This  conditional  approval  shall be withdrawn  if it has not been  accepted by
Integrated by July 15, 1996.

Purchaser/Lessor:                   Capstone     Capital     Corporation,     or

Lessee:                             Integrated Living Communities, Inc. ("ILC").

Maximum
Commitment:                         $40,000,000 ("Commitment").

                                    day of signing as an Expense Deposit, and 1%
                                    of total  project  cost at takedown as a fee
                                    to CCT. The Expense Deposit is to be used as

                                    and other expenses of closing each facility.

Leased Facilities:                  Various    senior     housing     residences
                                    ("Facilities")   which  may  provide  either

Capstone Approval:                  CCT   maintains   the   absolute   right  to
                                    pre-approve  each  Facility  funded  by this

Initial
Lease Rate:                         350  basis  points in excess of the yield on

                                    event  will the  change  be less than 2% nor
                                    more than 5% of the  previous  year's  lease
                                    payment.

Dear Ed:

         The  purpose  of this  letter  is to  confirm  our  mutual  intent  and
agreement in principle  with respect to the general  terms and  conditions  of a
master  agreement  pursuant to which  Integrated  Living  Communities,  Inc.,  a
Delaware  corporation,  or an affiliate thereof ("ILC") and Health Care Property
Investors,  Inc., a Maryland  corporation,  or an affiliate thereof ("HCPI") may
enter into a series of agreements to develop and lease,  purchase and lease,  or
sell and lease back the land,  improvements  and  personal  property  of certain
congregate,  assisted  living,  alzheimer and skilled nursing  facilities,  (the
"Facilities", or a "Facility").

         Under the  master  agreement,  HCPI  will  invest a total of up to $100
million in the land,  improvements,  and personal  property of  Facilities to be
approved by HCPI. Of HCPI's total  investment,  no less than $40 million will be
in existing  properties  including the Existing Facilities shown on the attached
Exhibit A and additional  Facilities to be identified at a later date ("Existing
Facilities").  The remainder may be invested in new  construction  projects from
the list of New Facilities shown on the attached  Exhibit A ("New  Facilities").
ILC will  develop  each New  Facility  under a  separate  development  agreement
pursuant to the terms set forth in the Development Agreement included as Exhibit
I herein.  ILC (the "Lessee") will lease each New and Existing Facility pursuant
to a lease  having  the terms and  conditions  set forth on the Lease Term Sheet
included as Exhibit II herein.

         As soon as practical  after the date hereof,  HCPI will submit for your
review drafts of the master agreements, which will include the forms of contract
of  acquisition,   development   agreement,   lease,  and  ancillary  agreements
containing  the terms set forth in  Exhibit I and  Exhibit  II.  The  definitive
agreements will contain representations and warranties, indemnities, affirmative
convenants and  conditions  precedent as are customary in  transactions  of this
type and include provisions which protect Health Care Property Investors, Inc.'s
tax status as a real estate  investment trust and such other provisions as shall
be mutually agreeable.

         Exhibit III sets forth the form for the  required  Irrevocable  Standby
Letter of Credit, and Exhibit IV sets forth the definitive  insurance provisions
we require during the construction of each Facility and the term of each Lease.

                  Purchase Price,  whichever is applicable,  of the Facility (as
                  defined in Exhibits I and II).  HCPI will also have received a

                  there are no  encroachments  onto any adjacent  properties  or
                  onto any  building  line or easement  affecting  the  Facility
                  except encroachments  allowed by easements or other agreements
                  with affected landowners that are satisfactory to HCPI.

                  ILC  completing an initial  public  offering  which results in
                  shareholder's  equity as determined  using generally  accepted
                  accounting principles of not less than $75 million dollars.

                              ---------------------
                           (for New Facilities only)
                                  (continued)
                                  -----------


Land Contract of  Acquisition  and  Development  Agreement  Guarantees:  By ILC,
including completion of the Facilities,  at no cost to HCPI in excess of each of
their Maximum Costs.

Guaranteed  Completion  Date:  ILC will  guarantee  completion  of each Facility
within 12 months from the date its Development Agreement is executed.

Development  Fee: The amount of the  Development  Fee will equal the actual fees
agreed to be paid by ILC to an unrelated  third party  developer,  not to exceed
five percent (5%) of Maximum  Cost.  Such amounts  shall be paid 25 percent upon
construction  commencement,  25 percent upon half completion and 50 percent upon
Substantial Completion, or as reasonably agreed to by HCPI.

Letters  of Credit:  ILC will  provide a letter of credit  equal to six  months'
estimated  lease  payments  at  closing  of the land  purchase  and  Development
Agreement for each  Facility.  The letter of credit will secure all  obligations
under the Contract of Acquisition,  Development  Agreement and Lease (see letter
of credit  requirement under the Lease Term Sheet). The letter of credit will be
cross defaulted and cross collateralized and will secure all existing and future
obligations of ILC and any of their affiliates to HCPI or its affiliates.

Insurance:   Adequate  workman's   compensation  insurance  and  builder's  risk
insurance  will  be  maintained  during  construction  of the  Facilities.  Such
workman's  compensation insurance will be in accordance with the requirements of
applicable local, state and federal laws.

                                ----------------
                       (for New and Existing Facilities)


Lessee:  Simultaneously  with the purchase of the New Facility  land or Existing
Facility, Integrated Living Communities, Inc. ("ILC") will enter into a lease of
the  Facility.  The lease  terms for the  Facility  will  commence  on the Lease
Commencement Date as shown below.

Lessor:  Health Care Property Investors, Inc. or an affiliate ("HCPI").

Existing  Facility  Purchase Price:  HCPI will pay fair market real estate value
for each Existing Facility, as verified by Valuation Counselors Group, Inc. Also
for Facilities to be acquired from third parties, the Purchase Price will not be
more than the  acquisition  price for the real  estate  and  personal  property,
excluding working capital items, as agreed to by such third party and ILC.

Triple Net  Lease:  The  Facilities  will be leased on a  completely  net basis.
Lessee will be  responsible  for all expenses  associated  with the  Facilities,
including but not limited to maintenance,  repairs,  insurance,  property taxes,
sales taxes, other business profits taxes, and franchise taxes charged to Lessor
or its  affiliates as a result of the  Facilities'  ownership  (excluding in all
events  federal and state  income  taxes).  HCPI  reserves  the right to quote a
higher lease rate on  facilities  located in the few States that require  income
taxes for real estate investment trusts.

Primary Term:  Lessee will lease the Facilities for 15 years.

Renewal  Options:  Lessee will have two ten-year  renewal options at fair market
value  lease  rates,  but not less than the total rent paid in the final year of
the most recent prior term.  Beginning in the second year of each renewal  term,
Additional  Rent will be calculated as provided under  "Additional  Rent" below,
except that Base Revenues will equal Gross  Revenues for the first Lease Year of
the applicable renewal term. All of the Facilities must be renewed together as a
group and not individually.

Lease  Commencement  Date: Lease commencement for each Existing Facility will be
the closing date of the  transaction.  Lease  commencement for each New Facility
will be the earliest of (1) receipt of  Certificate  of  Occupancy,  Architect's
Certificate  of  Completion,  and  all  licenses  and  approvals  necessary  for
operation of the New Facility for its Primary  Intended Use (hereafter  referred
to as "Substantial  Completion"),  (2) the day the Lessee opens for business, or
(3) the Guaranteed Completion Date (as defined in Exhibit I).

Base Rent: Annual base rent will be paid monthly in advance  calculated as shown
below.  Base  spreads  quoted may be adjusted as agreed upon by HCPI and ILC in
the  event  financing  conditions  materially  differ  at the  time  each  Lease
commences.

                                   (continued)


         Existing  Facilities:  The base lease rate will equal 325 basis  points
above the 10-year Treasury Note rate published in the Wall Street Journal, three
business  days prior to lease  commencement.  The Base Rent will equal the lease
rate multiplied by the Existing Facility Purchase Price.

         New  Facilities:  The base lease rate will equal 350 basis points above
the 10-year  Treasury  Note rate  published  in the Wall Street  Journal,  three
business  days prior to lease  commencement.  The Base Rent will equal the lease
rate multiplied by the actual Total Construction Cost, not to exceed the Maximum
Cost (both terms as defined in the Development Agreement).

Additional Rent:  Additional Rent will be increased  annually and paid quarterly
in  arrears.  Beginning  in the  second  year of the  Lease,  and for each  year
thereafter,  Additional  Rent  will  equal  the  sum of  (a)  the  prior  year's
additional  rent,  and (b) the annual change in the CPI  multiplied by the prior
year's total rent.

In no event will additional rent be less than the sum of (a) the additional rent
paid for the previous year plus (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the Facility's
Gross  Revenues in excess of Base  Revenues,  up to but not  exceeding an amount
equal to two percent (2%) of the prior year's total rent.  For  Additional  Rent
purposes,  Gross  Revenues  will  equal  annual  revenues  (including  ancillary
revenues) less bad debts,  and Base Revenues will equal 50% of second lease year
Gross Revenues.

In no event will  additional  rent be greater  than a five  percent  (5%) annual
increase over the previous year's total rent.


Letter of  Credit:  An  annually  renewed  letter of credit in the form shown as
Exhibit III and equal to six months total lease payments  issued by a commercial
bank reasonably  satisfactory to HCPI will be required to secure the Contract of
Acquisition,  Development Agreement, and Lease obligations.  Lessee must provide
the letter of credit on the date the  Development  Agreement is executed for New
Facilities, and at closing for Existing Facilities. The letter of credit will be
reduced to four months total lease  payments  after ILC has completed an initial
public  offering  which results in  shareholder's  equity,  as determined  using
generally accepted accounting principles,  of not less than $75 million dollars.
The letter of credit will also secure all existing or future obligations between
ILC and any of its affiliates and HCPI and its

affiliates. HCPI can draw all or any part of the letter of credit upon a default
under any existing or future agreement between HCPI and its affiliates,  and ILC
and any of its affiliates.

Land  Contract  of  Acquisition,  Development  Agreement  and  Lease  Obligation
Gurantees: Full guarantee by ILC.

Cross  Default  and Cross  Collateralization:  All  agreements,  all  letters of
credit, and all Leases,  existing and future,  will be cross defaulted and cross
collateralized  with all other agreements between HCPI or its affiliates and ILC
or its affiliates.

Other  Assets:  HCPI will  have no  interest  whatsoever  in  Lessee's  accounts
receivable,  inventory or  equipment  not  purchased by HCPI.  Lessee will grant
Lessor a  security  interest  in all of  Lessee's  Intangible  Property.  Lessee
Intangible Property will include but not be limited to all licenses and permits,
certificates  of need, and the right to use any trade names  associated with the
respective Facilities.

Insurance:  As  detailed  in  Exhibit  IV,  the  policy  must  name  HCPI as the
additional  insured  with a rider  that HCPI must be  notified  of any  material
change.  The policy must cover general liability and malpractice with a limit of
not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 annual aggregate.

Broker's Fees:  There are no brokers' fees associated with this transaction.

Sublease and  Assignment:  Consent to a sublease or assignment of the Lease will
be at  HCPI's  sole  and  absolute  discretion.  Any  master  sublease  will  be
subordinate  to the  Lease  and may be  terminated  by HCPI  in the  event  of a
termination  of  the  Lease.  HCPI  will  require  appropriate  clauses,  to  be
negotiated,  in any sublease to (i) assure that the income to be derived by HCPI
with respect to such sublease will qualify under the REIT gross income tests and
(ii) protect its tax status as a Real Estate Investment Trust. In the event HCPI
approves a sublease,  HCPI will require  Lessee to pay to HCPI in  consideration
for  consent  to  sublease  the  difference  between  fair  market  rent for the
Facilities, as determined by appraisal and total rent actually payable under the
lease until lease  termination.  Lessee will pay such consideration on a monthly
basis  throughout  the duration of any  sublease.  In the event HCPI approves an
assignment, HCPI will require Lessee to pay HCPI in consideration for consent to
such assignment,  the gross fair market value of Lessee's  leasehold interest as
determined by appraisal.

Expense  Deposit:  An Expense  Deposit of $200,000  will be due upon signing the
commitment letter. For purposes of reimbursement,  the Deposit will be allocated
on a pro rata basis. The

                                  (continued)


Deposit for New Facilities will be reimbursed to ILC with the first construction
draw.  HCPI will keep all Deposits  collected  for Existing  Facilities.  In the
event the  transaction  does not close for any reason,  other than ILC  choosing
another financing  source,  any portion of the Deposit not paid to third parties
will be refunded.

Transaction  Costs:  For New Facilities,  HCPI legal costs  (including  in-house
costs), appraisal costs (if any), engineering fees, environmental fees, and HCPI
construction administration fees equal to $1,550 per month and all other closing
costs  associated  with  construction  will be funded and  included in the Total
Construction  Cost. For Existing  Facilities,  HCPI will pay its own legal costs
(including in-house costs), appraisal costs, engineering fees, and environmental
fees  up to the  amount  of the  Expense  Deposit  allocated  to  that  Existing
Facility.  ILC will pay  HCPI's  costs in  excess of the  amount of the  Expense
Deposit allocated to that Existing Facility and all other closing costs.

Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  HCPI's maximum legal costs  associated with the
development  of a definitive  master  agreement  (including  the  negotiation of
definitive  forms of the  Leases,  the  Development  Agreements  and all related
documentation) will not exceed $100,000.  HCPI assumes that it will receive from
ILC, complete due diligence  information for the first three Facilities  shortly
after execution of the commitment and that  development and negotiation of legal
documents for the first Facility will  constitute  the master  agreement for all
the  Facilities.  If legal  documents  can be developed for the second and third
Facilities at the same time and the three Facilities close  simultaneously,  the
$100,000  maximum  will  cover  legal  documentation  costs for the first  three
Facilities.  If only the first one or two Facilities can be closed together, the
$100,000 will cover documentation costs for the first one or two Facilities. The
$100,000  will be  allocated  accordingly  among the first  one,  two,  or three
Facilities.  HCPI and ILC will share  equally in all of HCPI's  legal costs over
$100,000.  HCPI's  maximum  legal costs for  additional  Facilities  which close
simultaneously  with the first  three  facilities  will not exceed  $10,000  per
Facility. HCPI and ILC will share equally in all of HCPI's legal costs in excess
of $10,000.

For  subsequent  closings,  HCPI's  legal costs will not exceed  $35,000 for the
first   facility  and  $10,000  for  each   additional   facility  which  closes
simultaneously.  HCPI and ILC will share equally in all of HCPI's legal costs in
excess of these amounts.

Commitment Fee: The Lessee shall pay HCPI a non-refundable Lease Commitment Fee,
calculated as one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price of each Existing  Facility,
which shall be due and payable at the closing.

                          LEASE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
                          ----------------------------


         1. General Insurance Requirements. During the Term, Lessee shall at all
times keep the Leased  Property,  and all  property  located in or on the Leased
Property,  including Capital Additions,  the Fixtures and the Personal Property,
insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance  described below. This insurance
shall be written by companies  authorized to do insurance  business in the State
in which the Leased  Property is located.  All liability type policies must name
Lessor as an  "additional  insured." All  property,  loss of rental and business
interruption  type policies shall name Lessor as "loss payee." In addition,  the
policies, as appropriate,  shall name as an "additional insured" or "loss payee"
the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement ("Facility
Mortgagee")  securing any  indebtedness or any other  Encumbrance  placed on the
Leased  Property in accordance  with the provisions of Article XXXVI  ("Facility
Mortgage") by way of a standard form of  mortgagee's  loss payable  endorsement.
Any loss adustment shall require the written consent of Lessor, Lessee, and each
Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested,  with any  Facility  Mortgagee(s).  If any  provision of any Facility
Mortgage requires deposits of insurance to be made with such Facility Mortgagee,
Lessee shall either pay to Lessor monthly the amounts  required and Lessor shall
transfer  such  amounts to each  Facility  Mortgagee,  or,  pursuant  to written
direction by Lessor, Lessee shall make such deposits directly with such Facility
Mortgagee. The policies shall insure against the following risks:


                  1.1 Loss or damaged by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,
extended  coverage  perils  commonly  known as special form  perils,  earthquake
(including  earth  movement)  and  windstorm  in an  amount  not  less  than the
insurable  value on a  replacement  cost basis (as defined below in Section 3.2)
and including a building ordinance coverage endorsement;

                  1.2 Loss or damage by  explosion  of steam  boilers,  pressure
vessels or similar  apparatus,  now or hereafter  installed in the Facility,  in
such limits with respect to any one accident as may be  reasonably  requested by
Lessor from time to time;

                  1.3 Flood (when the Leased  Property is located in whole or in
part within a designated  100-year  flood plain area) and such other hazards and
in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area;

                  1.4 Loss of  rental  value in an amount  not less than  twelve
(12) months' Rent payable  hereunder or business  interruption  in an amount not
less than twelve (12) months of income and normal operating  expenses  including
payroll and Rent payable  hereunder with an endorsement  extending the period of
indemnity by at least ninety (90) days (Building Ordinance - Increased Period of
Restoration  Endorsement)  necessitated  by the occurrence of any of the hazards
described in Sections 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3;

<PAGE>

                  1.5 Claims for  personal  injury or  property  damage  under a
policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance with amounts not less
than One Million and No/100 Dollars  ($1,000,000.00)  combined  single limit and
Three Million No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the annual aggregate; and

                  1.6 Medical Professional  liability with amounts not less than
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit and Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000) in the annual aggregate.

         2. Replacement Cost. The term "replacement  cost" shall mean the actual
replacement  cost of the insured  property  from time to time with new materials
and  workmanship  of like kind and quality.  If either party  believes  that the
replacement  cost has  increased or  decreased  at any time during the Term,  it
shall have the right to have such replacement cost  redetermined by an impartial
national insurance company reasonably acceptable to both parties (the "impartial
appraiser").  The party desiring to have the  replacement  cost so  redetermined
shall forthwith,  on receipt of such  determination by the impartial  appraiser,
give written notice thereof to the other party hereto.  The determination of the
impartial appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Lessee
shall  forthwith  increase  or  decrease  the  amount of the  insurance  carried
pursuant to this Article to the amount so determined by the impartial appraiser.
Each  party  shall  pay  one-half  (1/2) of the fee,  if any,  of the  impartial
appraiser. If Lessee has made improvements to the Leased Property, Lessor may at
Lessee's  expense have the replacement  cost redetermined at any time after such
improvements  are  made,  regardless  of when  the  replacement  cost  was  last
determined.

         3. Additional Insurance.  In addition to the insurance described above,
Lessee shall maintain such  additional  insurance as may be reasonably  required
from  time to time by any  Facility  Mortgagee  and shall  further  at all times
maintain adequate workers' compensation coverage and any other coverage required
by Legal  Requirements for all Persons employed by Lessee on the Leased Property
and any Capital Addition thereto in accordance with Legal Requirements.

         4. Waiver of  Subrogation.  All  insurance  policies  carried by either
party covering the Leased Property and any Capital Addition thereto and Lessee's
Personal  Property  including  contents,  fire  and  casualty  insurance,  shall
expressly  waive any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the
other  party.  The parties  hereto agree that their  policies  will include such
waiver clause or endorsement  so long as the same are  obtainable  without extra
cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the other party, at its election,
may pay the same,  but shall not be  obligated  to do so. Each party  waives any
claims it has  against  the other  party to the extent  such claim is covered by
insurance.

         5. Policy Requirements. All of the policies of insurance referred to in
this Article  shall be written in form  satisfactory  to Lessor and by insurance
companies with a policyholder rating of "A" and a financial rating of "X" in the
most  recent  version of Best's Key Rating  Guide.  Lessee  shall pay all of the
premiums therefor, and deliver such policies or

<PAGE>


certificates  thereof to Lessor prior to their  effective date (and with respect
to any renewal policy,  at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
existing  policy),  and in the event of the  failure of Lessee  either to effect
such  insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums  therefor,
or to deliver  such  policies or  certificates  thereof to Lessor,  at the times
required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such
insurance  and pay the  premiums  therefor,  in which  event  the cost  thereof,
together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be repayable to Lessor
upon demand therefor.  Each insurer shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or
policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that it
will give to Lessor  thirty  (30)  days'  written  notice  before  the policy or
policies  in  question  shall be altered,  allowed to expire or  canceled.  Each
policy shall have a deductible or deductibles, if any, which are no greater than
those normally maintained for similar facilities in the State.

         6.  Increase in Limits.  If either  party shall at any time believe the
limits  of  the  insurance   required   hereunder  to  be  either  excessive  or
insufficient,  the parties shall  endeavor to agree in writing on the proper and
reasonable  limits for such  insurance  to be carried and such  insurance  shall
thereafter  be  carried  with the limits  thus  agreed on until  further  change
pursuant to the  provisions of this  section.  If the parties shall be unable to
agree thereon, the proper and reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried
shall be determined by an impartial third party  reasonably  selected by Lessor.
Nothing  herein shall  permit the amount of  insurance  to be reduced  below the
amount or amounts required by any of the Facility Mortgagee.

         7.  Blanket  Policies  and  Policies   Covering   Multiple   Locations.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained in this  Article,  Lessee's
obligations to carry the casualty  insurance  provided for herein may be brought
within the  coverage  of a blanket  policy or policies of insurance  carried and
maintained by Lessee; provided,  however, that the coverage afforded Lessor will
not be reduced or  diminished  or otherwise  be different  from that which would
exist under a separate  policy meeting all other  requirements  of this Lease by
reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that
the  requirements  of this Article are  otherwise  satisfied.  For any liability
policies  covering  facilities  in addition to the Leased  Property,  Lessor may
require excess limits as lessor reasonably determines.

         8. No Separate Insurance.  Lessee shall not, on Lessee's own initiative
or pursuant  to the  request or  requirement  of any third  party,  (i) take out
separate insurance  concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with
that  required in this Article to be furnished  by, or which may  reasonably  be
required to be  furnished  by,  Lessee or (ii)  increase the amounts of any then
existing  insurance by securing an  additional  policy or  additional  policies,
unless all parties  having an  insurable  interest in the subject  matter of the
insurance,  including  in all cases  Lessor  and all  Facility  Mortgagees,  are
included  therein  as  additional  insured  and the loss is  payable  under such
insurance  in the same  manner as losses are payable  under this  Lease.  Lessee
shall immediately notify Lessor of the taking out of any such separate insurance
or of the  increasing  of any of the amounts of the then  existing  insurance by
securing an additional policy or additional policies.

                     ARTICLE I: SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS
                     --------------------------------------

                  1.1 Acquired  Assets.  Subject to the terms and  conditions of
this Agreement, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), Buyer will acquire from
Seller, and Seller will sell,  assign,  transfer and convey to Buyer, all of the

without  limitation,  the real property and all improvements  thereon,  together
with  all  rights,  easements,   privileges,   and  hereditaments  belonging  or
appertaining  thereto  or any  additions  thereto,  free and clear of all liens,
mortgages  and  encumbrances  other than as set forth on Schedule  8.8  attached
hereto, all as more particularly  described on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto (the
"Property"),  and such other property owned by Seller that comprises,  including
without limitation, all tangible,  intangible, real, personal or mixed property,
the  inventory of  consumables  at the Facility  (the  "Inventory"),  claims and
rights under contracts, Designated

                                        1

<PAGE>



Contracts  (defined  herein),  patient  lists and  records,  telephone  numbers,
furniture,  fixtures,  equipment,  supplies,  prepaid items,  surveys,  building
plans, good will, and, to the extent permitted by law, all permits, licenses and
certificates  of need and  other  rights  held by  Seller  with  respect  to the
ownership  or  operation  of the Facility as the same shall exist on the Closing
Date,  as the case may be, and all of Seller's  books and records  pertaining to
the foregoing all as more fully set forth on the Schedules  attached hereto, but
excluding all cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable, (together all such
properties,  assets or  business  to be  conveyed  to Buyer  from  Seller at the
Closing are hereafter referred to as the "Assets").

                  1.2  Assumption  of  Liability.  Except as expressly  provided
herein,  Buyer shall not assume, nor in any way be liable or responsible for any
claims, lawsuits, liabilities, obligations or debts of Seller, including without
limitation (i)  malpractice  claims  asserted by patients of the Facility or any
other tort claims asserted against Seller, claims for breach of contract, or any
claims of any kind asserted by patients, former patients, employees of Seller or
any other party that are based on acts or  omissions  occurring on or before the
Closing Date; and (ii) any accounts payable,  employment or other taxes, and any
other obligation or liability of Seller to pay money whatsoever.

                  Notwithstanding  the provisions of the  immediately  preceding
paragraph,  on  the  Closing  Date,  contingent  upon  the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby,  Buyer shall  assume and  thereafter  in due
course fully satisfy those  obligations  arising under the Designated  Contracts
(defined herein) specified  pursuant to Section 1.3 below and assigned by Seller
to Buyer,  with respect to, and only with respect to,  performance  and payments
owed that become due thereunder subsequent to the Closing Date.  Liabilities and
obligations  under  such  Designated   Contracts  that  have  accrued,   or  the
performance  of  which  is  due,  on or  prior  to the  Closing  Date,  and  all
liabilities  and  obligations  under all other  Contracts  shall remain the sole
responsibility  of  Seller  and  shall be paid or  performed  on or prior to the
Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

                  1.3      Designated Contracts.

                           (a) As soon as practicable  after the date hereof but
in no event later than the day  immediately  preceding the Closing  Date,  Buyer
shall  deliver  notice in writing to Seller  designating  which,  if any, of the
Contracts  (defined  herein) set forth on  Schedule  4.7 will be assigned to and
assumed by Buyer (the "Designated  Contracts").  Such notice of designation will
be set forth on  Schedule  1.3 to be attached  hereto.  If within said period of
time Buyer  fails to so deliver  notice to Seller,  Buyer will be deemed to have
designated none of the Contracts and Seller will remain fully liable thereunder.
To the  extent  Buyer  makes any such  designation,  Seller  shall at Closing be
obligated to assign all of its right, title and interest under such Contracts to
Buyer and Buyer shall assume the  obligations  accruing after Closing under such
Designated Contracts.

                           (b)   Notwithstanding   anything   to  the   contrary
contained  herein,  Buyer is not  assuming and will not be  responsible  for any
liabilities or obligations under the Designated

                                        2

<PAGE>



Contracts incurred on or occurring before the Closing Date; all such liabilities
and  obligations  remaining  the sole and  exclusive  responsibility  of  Seller
pursuant to Section 1.2 herein and shall be paid or performed on or prior to the
Closing Date.

                           (c)  Immediately  after notice of the  designation by
Buyer of the  Contracts  to be  assigned  by  Seller,  Seller  will use its best
efforts  and shall  diligently  proceed to obtain any  consents  of any  parties
necessary to permit the  assignment of the  Designated  Contracts.  In the event
that any of the Designated Contracts are not assignable,  or the parties to such
Designated Contract fail or refuse to consent to any assignment on or before the
Closing  Date,  Buyer shall have no  liability to assume and will not assume any
such Designated Contracts.


                           ARTICLE II: PURCHASE PRICE
                           --------------------------

                  2.1  Determination and Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase
price of the  Assets  shall be SIX  MILLION  NINE  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  AND 00/100
($6,900,000.00)  DOLLARS,  subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2.2 and
2.3 below (the  "Purchase  Price").  Such amount shall be payable in cash at the
Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

                  2.2 Certain Adjustments to the Purchase Price. In addition, at
the Closing hereunder:

                           (a) Seller shall  deliver to Buyer  Schedule  2.2(a),
effective as of the last day of the calendar  month  preceding  the Closing Date
(the  "Calculation  Date"),  showing the amount of accrued  holiday and vacation
pay,  accrued sick pay and personal  leave and any other similar  benefits,  and
payroll taxes and workers' compensation  insurance premiums with respect thereto
for each of its  employees  who Buyer  desires  to employ  and who  accept  such
employment  with Buyer as of the Closing  Date.  The amount  applicable  for any
accrued  holiday and vacation pay and accrued sick pay and personal  leave shall
be  estimated  prior to Closing  and shall be settled  as an  adjustment  to the
Purchase  Price  ninety (90) days after  Closing  pursuant to  Subparagraph  (c)
below.

                           (b) Seller  shall  deliver to Buyer  Schedule  2.2(b)
listing the amount of any  prepayments  received  by Seller  prior to Closing on
account of any goods or services to be rendered or supplied by Seller,  and such
prepayments  shall reduce the Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to Subparagraph
(c) below.

                           (c) The amount applicable for any accrued holiday and
vacation  pay and  accrued  sick pay and  personal  leave and the  amount of any
payroll taxes and workers'  compensation  insurance  premiums  calculated  under
Section  2.2(a) and any  prepayment  amounts  under Section  2.2(b),  above will
increase or reduce the Purchase  Price payable to Seller on a  dollar-for-dollar
basis, as appropriate, rather than paid by Seller to Buyer at Closing.

                  2.3 Transfer  Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the Closing Date, the
following  adjustments  and prorations  shall be computed as of the Closing Date
with respect to the following  taxes (unless  otherwise  stated  herein) and the
cash  portion of the  Purchase  Price shall be  adjusted,  upward or downward as
appropriate, to reflect such prorations:

                           (a)  Transfer  Taxes and Escrow  Fees.  All state and
local real estate  transfer and recording taxes or fees and escrow fees shall be
borne equally between the Seller and the Buyer.

                           (b) Real Estate Taxes,  etc. Real property  taxes and
all other public or governmental  charges against the Assets (including  charges
for sewer,  water,  drainage or other services)  assessed for the fiscal year in
which the  Closing  Date  occurs  shall be adjusted  and  apportioned  as of the
Closing Date.

                           (c) Personal Property Taxes.  Personal property taxes
attributable to the personal property  comprising the Assets for the fiscal year
in which the Closing  Date occurs shall be adjusted  and  apportioned  as of the
Closing Date and paid thereafter by Buyer.

                           (d) Service Contracts,  Leases and Utilities.  Except
as otherwise provided in Section 1.3, all prepayments made or payments due under
any  continuing  service  contracts and leases  affecting the Assets,  including
without  limitation  water,  sewer,  electric,  gas and utility bills,  parking,
garbage removal, and maintenance agreements shall be adjusted and apportioned as
of the Closing Date and such obligations thereafter shall be assumed by Buyer.

                           (e) Sales Taxes.  Any applicable  sales taxes payable
in connection  with the transfer of the Assets shall be shared equally by Seller
and Buyer.

                  2.4 Other  Prorations.  All other charges and fees customarily
prorated and adjusted in similar  transactions in the locale in which the Assets
are situated  (including  without  limitation any and all employee  benefits not
otherwise  governed by Section  2.2) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date in
accordance with such custom and thereafter be assumed by Buyer.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the Closing Date because  current bills or  statements  are
not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills), the parties shall prorate such
items upon  receipt of the final bill of  statement,  but in no event later than
ninety (90) days after Closing; provided, that any bill received by Seller up to
one (1) year after the Closing Date for fees and expenses  incurred prior to the
Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.  Without  limiting the  foregoing,  in the
event the Closing Date is not the first  business day of a month,  any items set
forth in Sections 2.2(a) and (b) above accruing after the  Calculation  Date but
prior to the Closing Date shall be estimated,  subject to adjustment  aforesaid,
and such  estimates  shall reduce the Purchase  Price pursuant to Section 2.2(c)
above.  The Seller shall use its best efforts to have all utility meters read on
the Closing Date so as to accurately  determine the proration of current utility
bills.

                  2.5 Resident Trust Funds. Seller shall deliver to Buyer before
Closing  Schedule  2.5 listing the amount of escrow  monies of  residents of the
Facility  held in trust by Seller  ("Resident  Trust Funds") and, if such monies
are held in  separate  accounts,  specifying  the name of the bank at which such
account(s) is maintained and identifying  patient account  numbers.  At Closing,
Seller shall  assign,  transfer and deliver to Buyer,  as trustee and subject to
the same terms of trust,  all such amounts held in Resident  Trust Funds and all
passbooks and other books and records pertaining thereto. Buyer shall assume all
liability  with respect to such  Resident  Trust Funds arising after the Closing
Date.  Any  liability  with  respect to such  Resident  Trust  Funds  arising or
accruing on or before the Closing  Date,  and any  liability  arising  after the
Closing  Date in the event the amount of the Resident  Trust Funds  delivered by
Seller to Buyer is demonstrated to be less than the funds delivered to Seller to
hold in trust prior to the Closing Date, shall remain the sole responsibility of
the Seller.


                            ARTICLE III: THE CLOSING

the Buyer,  or at such other time on the  Closing  Date and place upon which the
parties may agree. Seller shall deliver possession of the Assets to Buyer, which
shall accept the same on said date.

                           (b) If prior to or by the  Closing  Date,  the  state
agency or agencies with jurisdiction over the licensing of the Facility notifies
Buyer that there exist  impediments  to such  agency or agencies  issuing to the
Buyer a license to operate the Facility immediately upon the Buyer's acquisition
of the  Assets,  then,  in such  event,  Buyer  shall be  entitled to extend the
Closing Date for a period sufficient to meet such requirements.


               ARTICLE IV: SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
               ---------------------------------------------------

                  Seller  represents and warrants to Buyer as follows;  provided

bound (the  "Contracts").  Seller is not in default  under any  Contract  in any
material  amount and there has not been  asserted,  either by or against  Seller
under any Contract,  any notice of default,  set-off or claim of default. To the
best of Seller's  knowledge,  the parties to the Contracts other than the Seller
are not in default of any of their respective  obligations  under the Contracts,
and there has not  occurred  any event  which  with the  passage  of time or the
giving of notice  (or  both)  would  constitute  a default  or breach  under any
Contract.  All amounts  payable under the Contracts  are, or will at the Closing
Date, be on a current basis.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, the Contracts
are  assignable to Buyer without the consent of the remaining  parties  thereto.
Seller shall  deliver  schedule  4.7 prior to the Closing  Date,  together  with

of operations of the Facility as, at and for the periods  therein  specified and

applied on a basis consistent with prior periods.

                  4.9 Material Changes. Except as listed on Schedule 4.9 hereto,
since November 30, 1995,  there has not been any material  adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise),  of the assets,  properties or operations of
the  Facility,  or any damage or  destruction  of the  Facility by fire or other
casualty,  whether or not covered by  insurance,  and Seller has,  and as of the
Closing,  will have, operated the Facility only in the normal course. Seller has
identified

                                        7

and  communicated to Buyer all material  information with respect to any fact or
condition that might adversely affect the future prospects (financial, licensure
status or otherwise) of the Facility.

                  4.10 Medicare and Medicaid Cost Reports.  Seller has delivered
to the Buyer true and correct  copies of all Medicare and Medicaid  cost reports
relating to the  Facility  for the last two (2) fiscal  years.  The  information
contained  in such  reports is true and  correct in all  respects.  Seller  will
prepare  or have  prepared  terminating  cost  reports  or  other  documentation

Life  Safety  Codes,   zoning  laws  and  building  codes   (collectively,   the
"Licenses").  Seller has delivered to Buyer copies of all of the Licenses listed
on Schedule  4.11.  Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver to Buyer within
ten (10) days from execution  hereof copies of each  application for each of the
Licenses.  Schedule 4.11 also sets forth a description of each  accreditation of
the Facility, copies of which Seller has delivered to the Buyer. The Facility is
licensed  and  certified  by the  Texas  Department  of Human  Services  for 110
Medicaid  beds.  Seller  owns,  possesses  or has  the  legal  right  to use the
Licenses,  free and clear of all liens, pledges, claims or other encumbrances of
any nature  whatsoever.  Seller is not in default under, nor has it received any
notice of any claim or default or any other claim or proceeding relating to, any
such License.  The Facility is fully and completely  licensed by all appropriate
authorities  for  Seller to carry on the  business  presently  conducted  at the
Facility. No shareholder,  director or officer,  employee or former employee, or
immediate  family  member  of any such  person,  or any  other  person,  firm or
corporation owns or has any proprietary,  financial or other interest, direct or
indirect,  in whole or in part in any such License  owned,  possessed or used in
the operation of the Facility as now operated.

tangible and intangible  personal property owned by Seller located at or used by
Seller in connection with the ownership or operation of the Facility, subject to
no mortgage,  security  interest,  pledge,  lien,  conditional  sales agreement,
lease,  claim,  encumbrance or charge, or restraint on transfer  whatsoever.  No
other person has any right to the use or possession of any of such property and,
except  as set forth on  Schedule  4.12(a),  no  currently  effective  financing
statement with respect to such property has been filed in any jurisdiction,  and
Seller has not signed any such  financing  statement or any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
Since March 31, 1992,  Seller has conducted its business  activities  only under
the  corporate  and/or  trade  names  "Vintage  Health  Care  Center,"  "Vintage
Retirement  Center,"  "Vintage  Retirement  Community," and "CS Denton Partners,
Ltd." All of the personal property is in good operating condition and repair and

<PAGE>



compliance with (and the operation thereof is in compliance with) all applicable
Federal,  state and local laws,  rules and  regulations,  and is sufficient  and
suitable to enable the Buyer to operate the  Facility in a normal and  efficient
manner.

                           (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.12(b),  none of
the personal  property  used by Seller in  connection  with the operation of the
Facility  is  subject  to a  conditional  sale,  security  interest  or  similar
arrangement.  Schedule 4.12(b) sets forth a complete and correct copy of each of
the personal  property leases relating to the Facility as to which Seller or the
Facility  is a party or by  which  Seller  or  Facility  is bound or which  were
assigned or transferred to Seller (together with all modifications or amendments
thereto),  the annual rental and unexpired lease term thereby, and a list of all
Contracts  providing for the installation or maintenance of equipment  purchased
or leased by Seller,  and all the  information  set forth  thereon is  complete,
correct and accurate.  All of said personal  property leases are valid,  binding
and enforceable in accordance with their  respective terms and are in full force
and effect.  Seller is not in default under any of such leases and there has not
been asserted,  either by or against Seller under any of such leases, any notice
of default, set-off, or claim of default. To the best of Seller's knowledge, the
parties  to such  leases  other  than the  Seller  are not in  default  of their
respective  obligations under any of such leases, and there has not occurred any
event  which  with the  passage  of time or  giving of  notice  (or both)  would
constitute  such a  default  or  breach  under  any of such  leases.  Except  as
otherwise set forth on Schedule  4.12(b),  each of said personal property leases
is assignable to Buyer without the consent of the lessor of such Facility.

                  4.13     Title, Condition of the Real Property.

                           (a) Seller has good and marketable  title to the real

whatsoever other than as set forth on Schedule 8.8 attached hereto.

                           (b) There are no leases or other agreements of Seller
as lessor,  granting  any third party the right to use or occupy any part of the
Real Property (except the rights of the patients of the Facility) and no person,
firm or entity has any ownership interest or option or right of first refusal to
acquire  any  ownership  interest  in  the  Real  Property  or any  building  or
improvements thereon.

                           (c) To the  best  of  Seller's  knowledge  after  due
inquiry, all buildings and other improvements comprising the Facility (including
all roads,  parking areas,  curbs,  sidewalks,  sewers and other utilities) have
been completed and installed in accordance with such plans and specifications as
were approved by the governmental  authorities having jurisdiction thereof. Such
permanent   statements   of   occupancy   and  all  other   licenses,   permits,

systems are adequate and  sufficient  for use in connection  with a nursing home
facility, ordinary wear and tear expected.

                           (g) There is no proceeding pending to which Seller is
a party relating to the assessed valuation of any portion of the Facility and no
assessment  for public  improvements  have been made against the  Facility  that
remain unpaid. All public improvements ordered,  commenced or completed prior to
the date of this  Agreement  or prior to the  Closing  Date shall be paid for in
full by the Seller prior to the Closing.

                           (h) To the  best  of  Seller's  knowledge  after  due
inquiry,  all public utilities required for the operation of the Facility either

4.14, there are no disputes, claims, actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations
or investigations,  either administrative or judicial,  pending, or, to the best
of Seller's knowledge,  threatened or contemplated, nor, to the best of Seller's
knowledge, is there any basis therefor, against or affecting the Facility or the
Assets or  Seller's  rights  therein  or  Seller's  ability  to  consummate  the
transactions contemplated herein, at law or in equity or otherwise, before or by
any court or  governmental  agency or body,  domestic or  foreign,  or before an

reasonable efforts consistent with the collection of its own accounts receivable
to assist Seller in collecting all accounts receivable resulting from activities
occurring or services  rendered to patients prior to the Closing as set forth on
Schedule 10.4. In addition, Buyer shall assist Seller by allowing examination by
Seller's  authorized   representatives  of  relevant  documentation  in  Buyer's
possession  after the Closing Date, and by  transferring  to Seller any payments
Buyer may receive from any source  whatsoever  concerning  Seller's  recovery of
accounts receivable as provided below. Any payments received by Buyer from third
party payors or private pay patients  which are for services  rendered  prior to
the Closing Date will be  transferred  to Seller  within  thirty (30) days after
receipt  thereof by Buyer.  Any  payments  made by such payors or  patients  and
earmarked  or  itemized  to services  rendered  after the Closing  Date shall be
retained by Buyer;  provided,  however, that any payments received by Buyer from
or on  behalf  of any  private  pay  patients  after  the  Closing  Date will be
attributed first to any outstanding  balance for services rendered or activities
occurring prior to the Closing Date for and on behalf of such patient, and shall
be  transferred  to Seller within thirty (30) days after such  determination  by
Buyer.

                  One hundred  eighty  (180) days  following  the Closing  Date,
Buyer  shall  provide  to  Seller,  an  accounting  setting  forth the  accounts
receivable at the Closing Date, and, as to such accounts,  the payments received
thereafter, the source thereof, and the application of such payments.

                  10.5  Employment of Existing  Employees.  On the Closing Date,
Buyer shall have the option of offering  to employ  those of Seller's  employees
set forth on  Schedule  4.15,  except  those  listed on Schedule  10.5  attached

Agreement relating to compensation of employees.

                  10.6     Restrictions.

                  (a) From and after the  Closing  Date,  the  Seller  shall not
disclose,  directly  or  indirectly,  to any person  outside  of Buyer's  employ
without the  express  authorization  of the Buyer,  any  pricing  strategies  or
records of the Seller, any proprietary data or trade secrets owned by the Seller
or any  financial or other  information  about the Seller not then in the public
domain;  provided,  however,  that the Seller  shall be  permitted  to make such
disclosures as may be required by law or by a court or governmental authority.

                  (b) The Seller shall not engage or  participate  in any effort
or  act to  induce  any of the  suppliers,  associates,  employees,  independent

employment, with the Facility.

<PAGE>

                  (c) For a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, the
Seller  shall not,  directly  or  indirectly,  for or on behalf of itself or any
other person,  firm, entity or other enterprises,  be employed by, be a director
or manager of, act as a  consultant  for,  be a partner  in, have a  proprietary
interest  in, give advice to, loan money to or  otherwise  associate  with,  any
person,  enterprise,  partnership,  association,  corporation,  joint venture or
other  entity  which is  directly  or  indirectly  in the  business  of  owning,
operating or managing any entity of any type,  licensed or unlicensed,  which is
engaged in or provides  assisted  living care,  nursing  home care,  home health
care, senior housing,  adult day care,  retirement housing,  primary care clinic
services or adult congregate living care anywhere within a twenty-five (25) mile
radius of the Facility;  provided,  however, that nothing contained herein shall
apply to  Seller's  affiliation  with  facilities  currently  owned,  leased  or
managed, or purchased in the future by Preferred Care, Inc.

                  (d) The Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in
this  Paragraph  10.6 are  reasonable  and  necessary to protect the  legitimate
business interests of Buyer and that any violation thereof by it would result in
irreparable  harm to  Buyer.  Accordingly,  the  Seller  agrees  that  upon  the
violation by it of any of the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6, Buyer
shall  be  entitled  to  obtain  from  any  court of  competent  jurisdiction  a
preliminary and permanent injunction as well as any other relief provided at law
or equity, under this Agreement or otherwise.  In the event any of the foregoing
restrictions are adjudged unreasonable in any proceeding, then the parties agree
that the  period of time or the scope of such  restrictions  (or both)  shall be
adjusted  in such a manner  or for such a time (or  both) as is  adjudged  to be
reasonable.

                  10.7 Audited Financial  Statements.  Notwithstanding the level
of review of the Facility's  financial  statements,  Seller shall cooperate with
Buyer and its  certified  public  accountants,  if Buyer deems it  necessary  or
desirable, to assist in the audit of the balance sheets and statements of income
and  changes in  financial  position of the  Facility  for each of the three (3)
calendar years ended prior to Closing. Such audits shall be conducted at Buyer's
expense.

                  At Buyer's request, Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable
requests of Buyer and its auditors  necessary to audit all previously  unaudited
periods  for the  purposes of  enabling  Buyer to make a public  offering of its
securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities  Act"),
and  shall  permit  such   financial   statements  to  be  included  in  Buyer's
registration  statement filed with the Securities  Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act and Buyer's prospectus used in connection with such offering. All
fees and expenses incurred in compiling the foregoing shall be borne by Buyer.

been satisfied by the Closing Date or pursuant to Section 12.1 if any portion of

otherwise damaged or destroyed for any reason whatsoever;

                           (b) Seller,  if any  condition  precedent to Seller's

                           (c) the mutual consent of the Buyer and the Seller.

                  11.2  Effect  of  Termination.  If  a  party  terminates  this
Agreement because one of its conditions precedent has not been fulfilled,  or if
this Agreement is terminated by mutual consent, this Agreement shall become null
and void  without any  liability of any party to the other;  provided,  however,
that if such  termination is by Buyer pursuant to Section 11.1(a) as a result of
a breach by the Seller of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in
this  Agreement,  or if such  termination  is by the Seller  pursuant to Section
11.1(b)  as a result  of a breach  by the  Buyer of any of its  representations,
warranties  or  covenants  in this  Agreement,  nothing  herein shall affect the
non-breaching  party's right to damages on account of such other party's breach.
Furthermore,  nothing in this  Section  11.2 shall  affect the Buyer's  right to

give  notice  thereof to Buyer.  Buyer  shall  have the  right,  in its sole and
absolute  discretion,  within ten (10) days of receipt  of such  notice,  to (i)
elect not to proceed  with the Closing and  terminate  this  Agreement,  or (ii)
proceed to Closing  and  consummate  the  transactions  contemplated  hereby and
receive  any and all  insurance  proceeds  received or  receivable  by Seller on
account of any such casualty.

obligations in such regard.

                  13.3  Costs  and  Expenses.   Except  as  expressly  otherwise

reasonable attorneys' fees.

                  13.5 Benefit and  Assignment.  This Agreement binds and inures
to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and proper  assigns.  The

their duly  authorized  officer or  representative.  The failure of any party to
enforce at any time any of the provisions of this  Agreement  shall in no way be
construed  to be a waiver of any such  provision,  nor in any way to affect  the
validity  of this  Agreement  or any  part  hereof  or the  right  of any  party
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.  No waiver of any breach of

                                       31

<PAGE>


such  prohibition  or  unenforceability   without   invalidating  the  remaining
provisions  hereof,  and  any  such  prohibition  or   unenforceability  in  any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render  unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.  It is the intention of the parties that if any provision of
Section 10.6 shall be  determined  to be overly  broad in any  respect,  then it
should be enforceable to the maximum  extent  permissible  under the law. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the parties waive any provision of law which
renders a provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

                  IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the  parties  hereto and in the

         Re: Options to Receive Assignments of Various Land Contracts
             --------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. West:

        This letter  agreement  is  intended to  acknowledge  and  evidence  the
agreement  between  The  Homestead   Company,   L.C.   ("Homestead"),   and  the
undersigned,  Integrated Living Communities,  Inc. ("ILC"),  with respect to the
various contracts and agreements described in Exhibit A  annexed hereto (each, a
"Contract and  collectively  the  "Contracts"),  entered into by  Homestead,  as
buyer, and various property owners,  as sellers,  concerning the sale of various
parcels of real property which are more particularly  described in the Contracts
(each,  a "Property" and  collectively,  the  "Properties").   Homestead and ILC
hereby agree as follows:

         1.     Homestead  hereby grants and conveys to ILC an  Irrevocable  and
                exclusive  right and option  ("Option")  with respect to each of
                the  Contracts  to receive an  assignment  of all of the buyer's
                right,  title and  interest  in; to and under any and all of the
                Contracts,   from  Homestead   upon  the  following   terms  and
                conditions.

         2.     The Option with respect to a Contract may be exercised by ILC in
                the manner  herein  specified at any time prior to the last date
                on which a closing of title  ("Closing")  can take place  under,
                and  pursuant  to, that  Contract.  The period  during  which an
                Option may be exercised with respect to a particular Contract is
                herein referred to as the "Option Period".

         3.     ILC  shall  exercise  an Option  with  respect  to a  particular
                Contract  by  giving  notice  thereof,  written  or  oral,  (the
                "Exercise   Notice")  to   Homestead  at  any  time  during  the
                applicable Option Period.

         4.     Upon ILC's request  following the giving of the Exercise  Notice
                with  respect to a Contract  and at or before the Closing  under
                such Contract,  Homestead  shall assign such Contract to ILC, or
                to any  person  or  entity  designated  by ILC to  receive  such
                assignment,  which  assignment  shall  be in  form  and  content
                acceptable to ILC.

         5.     ILC shall pay to Homestead,  in  consideration of the assignment
                of a Contract to ILC, a purchase  price (the  "Purchase  Price")
                equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate amounts


<PAGE>

       


                theretofore paid as deposits or down payments by Homestead under
                such  Contract on account of the purchase  price  required to be
                paid  thereunder by the buyer at the Closing and not theretofore
                reimbursed  or  returned  to  Homestead,  and (ii) all costs and
                expenses  theretofore  incurred by Homestead in connection  with
                the  development  of the  Property  which is the subject of such
                Contract,  which  costs  and  expenses  were  funded  under  the
                hereinafter  defined  Loan  Agreement,  plus,  in the  event the
                Option  is  being  exercised  as to  all of  the  Contracts  not
                theretofore assigned pursuant to this letter agreement,  accrued
                interest  (not yet due and  payable) on such  principal  balance
                ("Interest")  pursuant  to the  Revolving  Credit  and  Security
                Agreement dated March 18, 1996 between  Homestead,  as Borrower,
                and  Integrated  Health  Services  Retirement  Management,  Inc.
                ("IHSRM"), as Lender (the "Loan Agreement"). The entire Purchase
                Price will be payable at the Closing.

        6.      The parties  hereto  acknowledge  that as of the date hereof the
                Contracts are encumbered by a blanket lien and security interest
                in favor of IHSRM  pursuant to the Loan Agreement and that it is
                intended  that each Contract as to which the Option is exercised
                shall be assigned to ILC or its  designee  free and clear of all
                liens,  encumbrances  and security  interests.  Accordingly,  in
                order to facilitate  such an  assignment,  (i) Homestead  hereby
                directs that payment of the Purchase  Price be made  directly to
                IHSRM or  application  by IHSRM in  reduction  of the  principal
                balance  due under the Loan  Agreement  and  accrued  and unpaid
                interest  thereon and (ii) IHSRM by its  signature  below agrees
                that upon its receipt of an amount equal to the  Purchase  Price
                in  connection  with an  assignment  of a Contract to TLC or its
                designee,  IHSPM will  release such  Contract  from the lien and
                security  interest  created  under the Loan  Agreement  and will
                apply said amount in reduction of the  principal  balance of the
                Loan  Agreement  and, in the event that all of the  Contracts or
                the  last  remaining  Contract(s)  encumbered  by such  lien and
                security interest is being assigned, accrued and unpaid interest
                on such principal balance as aforesaid, upon, and only upon, the
                assignment of the Contract. It Is understood and agreed that the
                validity of the Loan Agreement, the continuing lien and security
                interest created thereunder on any and all unassigned  Contracts
                and the obligations of Homestead  thereunder  shall in no way be
                terminated,  affected  or  impaired  by reason  of the  release,
                exchange, substitution and/or subordination by IHSRM of the lien
                and security interest on the assigned Contract or the failure by
                IHSRM to  exercise,  or its  delay in  exercising  any  right or
                remedy  it may have  with  respect  to such  lien  and  security
                interest on such Contract.

        7.      The  consummation  of the  assignment of a Contract by Homestead
                shall occur at the offices of the  attorney  for ILC on the date
                as  designated  by ILC  in the  Exercise  Notice  (the  "Closing
                Date").  At the closing,  Homestead shall execute and deliver to
                ILC,  or to any  person or entity  designated  by ILC to receive
                such assignment,  an assignment of all right, title and interest
                of the purchaser under the Contract, free and clear of all liens
                and encumbrances whatsoever.

        8.      Homestead  hereby  further  covenants  and agrees  that from and
                after the date hereof  Homestead shall not take any action under
                any of the Contracts without the prior written consent of ILC.

        9.      The rights and obligations of ILC hereunder shall be assignable.
                The  parties to this  letter  agreement  mutually  agree that it
                shall be binding  upon and enure to the  benefit of the  parties
                hereto, their successors and assigns.

       10.      Any amendment to this letter agreement shall not be binding upon
                any of the parties  hereto  unless such  amendment is in writing
                and  executed by all parties  hereto.  The parties  hereto agree
                that such  documents  as may be legally  necessary  or otherwise
                appropriate  to carry  out the  terms of this  letter  agreement
                shall be executed  and  delivered by each party at or before the
                closing.

        If  the above terms are acceptable, kindly so indicate by executing this
letter  agreement  and  its  enclosed  counterparts  and  returning  it  to  the
undersigned.

                                             Very truly yours,

              liens, encumbrances and security interests.  Accordingly, in order
              to facilitate  such an  assignment,  (i) Zito hereby  directs that
              payment  of the  Purchase  Price  be made  directly  to  IHSL  for
              application  by IHSL in  reduction  of the  principal  balance due
              under the Loan Agreement [and accrued and unpaid interest thereon]
              and (4) IHSL by its  signature  below agrees that upon its receipt
              of an amount equal to the  Purchase  Price in  connection  with an
              assignment of a Contract to ILC or its designee, IHSL will release
              such  Contract from the lien and security  interest  created under
              the Loan  Agreement and will apply said amount in reduction of the
              principal balance of the Loan Agreement and, in the event that all
              of the Contracts or the last remaining  Contract(s)  encumbered by
              such lien and  security  interest is being  assigned,  accrued and
              unpaid interest on such principal balance as aforesaid,  upon, and
              only upon,  the  assignment of the Contract.  It is understood and
              agreed that the  validity of the Loan  Agreement,  the  continuing
              lien  and  security  interest  created  thereunder  on any and all
              unassigned  Contracts and the obligations of Zito thereunder shall
              in no way be  terminated,  affected  or  impaired by reason of the
              release,  exchange,  substitution and/or  subordination by IHSL of
              the lien and  security  interest on the  assigned  Contract or the
              failure by IHSL to exercise,  or its delay in exercising any right
              or  remedy  it may have with  respect  to such  lien and  security
              interest on such Contract.

        7.    The  consummation  of the  assignment  of a Contract by Zito shall
              occur  at the  offices  of the  attorney  for  ILC on the  date as
              designated by ILC in the Exercise Notice (the "Closing Date").  At
              the  closing,  Zito shall  execute  and  deliver to ILC, or to any
              person or entity designated by ILC to receive such assignment,  an
              assignment of all right, title and interest of the purchaser under
              the  Contract,  free  and  clear  of all  liens  and  encumbrances
              whatsoever.

        8.    Zito hereby  further  covenants and agrees that from and after the
              date  hereof  Zito  shall  not take any  action  under  any of the
              Contracts without the prior written consent of ILC.

                              ---------------------

$75,000,000.00                                              

        FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the  undersigned,  INTEGRATED  LIVING  COMMUNITIES,
INC., a Delaware  corporation (the "Maker") hereby  unconditionally  promises to
pay to the order of INTEGRATED  HEALTH  SERVICES,  INC., a Delaware  corporation
(the "Lender"),  the sum of SEVENTY-FIVE  MILLION  ($75,000,000.00)  DOLLARS, or
such amount thereof as shall have been advanced to Maker from Lender at any time
or from time to time after the date hereof as loans by Lender to Maker,  and all
accrued  and  unpaid  interest  thereon,  shall be fully due and  payable on the
earlier of (i) June 30, 1998, or (ii) the effective  date of the initial  public
offering of the Maker.

         This Note  shall bear  interest  from its date  until  maturity  on the
principal  amount  outstanding  from time to time  hereunder  (calculated on the
basis of a 360-day  year of twelve  30-day  months) at a rate per annum equal to
four-teen (14%) percent.  Each  installment  when paid shall be applied first to
the  payment  of all  accrued  interest  and the  balance  shall be  applied  to
principal.

         Notwithstanding  any provision contained herein, the total liability of
Maker for  payment of  interest  pursuant  hereto  shall not exceed the  maximum
amount of such interest permitted by law to be charged,  collected,  or received
from Maker and if any  payments by Maker  includes  interest in excess of such a
maximum  amount,  Lender shall apply such excess to the  reduction of the unpaid
principal  amount due pursuant  hereto,  or if none is due, such excess shall be
refunded to Maker.

         The Lender  will record the date and amount of each loan made to Maker,
the date and amount of any  principal  and interest  payment,  and the principal
balance  hereof on any  schedule  which may be  attached  hereto and made a part
hereof,  and any such  recordation  shall,  in the  absence of  manifest  error,
constitute  prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded;
provided  however,  that the  Lender's  failure to so record shall not limit the
obligations  of the Maker  hereunder to pay the principal of and interest on the
loans advanced to Maker.

         The Maker may prepay all or any part of the remaining principal balance
of this Note at any time without penalty or premium.

         Maker waives  presentment for payment,  demand,  notice of non-payment,
notice of protest and protest of this Note,  and all other notices in connection
with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, dishonor, or enforcement of
the repayment of this Note. Upon the  occurrence  of a default  under this Note,
the Lender may proceed  to protect  and  enforce  its  rights  hereunder  in any
manner  or order it deems expedient without regard to any equitable principles

of  marshalling  or otherwise.  All  rights and remedies  given by this Note are
cumulative  and not  exclusive of any thereof or of any other rights or remedies
available to the Lender and no course of dealing between Maker and the Lender or
any delay or  omission  in  exercising  any right or remedy  shall  operate as a
waiver of any right or remedy,  and every right and remedy may be exercised from
time to time and as often as shall be deemed appropriate by Lender.

         This Note shall be governed, interpreted, and enforceable in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.

paid and satisfied.
