1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Fountain View, Inc. ("Fountain View" or "Company") is a leading operator of
long-term care facilities and a leading provider of a full continuum of post-
acute care services, with a strategic emphasis on sub-acute specialty medical
care.  Fountain View operates a network of facilities in California, Texas, and
Arizona, including 44 skilled nursing facilities ("SNFs") that offer sub-acute,
rehabilitative and specialty medical skilled nursing care, as well as six
assisted living facilities ("ALFs") that provide room and board and social
services in a secure environment.  In addition, Fountain View provides a variety
of high-quality ancillary services such as physical, occupational and speech
therapy in Fountain View-operated facilities, unaffiliated facilities and acute
care hospitals.  Fountain View also operates three institutional pharmacies (one
of which is a joint venture), which serve acute care hospitals as well as SNFs
and ALFs, both affiliated and unaffiliated with Fountain View, an outpatient
therapy clinic and a durable medical equipment ("DME") company.

The Company acquired Summit Care Corporation ("Summit") on March 27, 1998 (see
Note 4).  The Summit operation consisted of 36 SNFs, five ALFs and three
institutional pharmacies.   The acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method and, as such, the accompanying financial statements include the
results of the Summit operation from the acquisition date.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial
information reflects all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring
nature), which are considered necessary to fairly state the Company's financial
position, its cash flows and the results of operations.  These statements do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1997.  The interim financial information herein is not necessarily
representative of that to be expected for a full year.

3.   FOUNTAIN VIEW EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On or about August 1, 1997, the controlling shareholders of the Company
consummated a reorganization transaction (the "Fountain View Equity
Transactions").  Prior to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, the controlling
shareholders were the sole owners of a number of healthcare companies, which
they managed as one business enterprise.  The separately owned companies
consisted of eight skilled nursing facilities, an assisted living facility and a
therapy company which provides therapy services primarily to third-party owned
facilities as well as Company-owned facilities.  Additionally, the controlling
shareholders owned the real estate which is operated by four of the nursing
homes.  The remaining real estate is leased from unrelated third parties.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)
                                  (Unaudited)


The controlling shareholders along with Heritage Fund II, L.P. ("Heritage")
formed a new holding company known as Fountain View, Inc. along with several
acquisition subsidiaries to consolidate the healthcare companies owned by the
controlling shareholders into one company.  At the same time, Fountain View
entered into market rate leases for the four real estate facilities owned by the
controlling shareholders.

Under the terms of the Fountain View Equity Transactions, Heritage invested
$14.0 million in cash in Fountain View in exchange for all of the Company's
preferred stock with a liquidation value of $7.0 million and 99,950 shares of
the Company's Common Stock Series A-2.  The controlling shareholders at the same
time contributed all of their healthcare assets, except for owned real estate,
to Fountain View in exchange for 53,850 shares of the Company's Common Stock
Series A-1 and 46,200 shares of the Company's Common Stock Series A-3.
Concurrent with the exchange of shares, Fountain View obtained bank financing
totaling $31.0 million, the proceeds of which along with the $14.0 million
invested by Heritage were used to fund a distribution of $43.7 million of cash
to the controlling shareholders and pay $1.3 million in transaction costs.

Since the controlling shareholders maintained a controlling financial interest
in Fountain View, a change in control was not deemed to have occurred upon the
consummation of the Fountain View Equity Transactions.  Therefore, the Fountain
View Equity Transactions were treated as a reorganization/merger of companies
under common control, with no step-up in basis of the assets of Fountain View.

4.   ACQUISITION OF SUMMIT CARE CORPORATION

On February 6, 1998, Fountain View, Summit, Heritage and FV-SCC Acquisition
Corp. ("Acquisition"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fountain View entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the acquisition of Summit by
Fountain View at a price of $21.00 per share.  On February 13, 1998, Acquisition
initiated a Tender Offer for the outstanding shares of Summit.  The Tender Offer
expired on March 25, 1998 and Acquisition purchased approximately 99% of the
shares of Summit for approximately $141.8 million at the closing of the Tender
Offer on March 27, 1998.  Pursuant to the short form merger provisions of
California law the Merger became effective 20 days later on April 16, 1998 and
Summit was merged into Acquisition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fountain View.

In order to consummate the purchase of the Summit shares in the Tender Offer and
to refinance Fountain View's existing debt, Fountain View entered into a term-
loan of $32.0 million and a credit facility of approximately $62.7 million.  In
addition, Fountain View raised approximately $82.0 million of new equity
investments in the amounts of $75.6 million from Heritage and certain other co-
investors, $5.0 million from Mr. Robert Snukal, Fountain View's Chief Executive
Officer, and Mrs. Sheila Snukal, Fountain View's Executive Vice President, and
$1.4 million from Mr. William Scott, Summit's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer.

On April 16, 1998, concurrent with the Merger becoming effective, Fountain View
entered into a new $30.0 million revolving credit facility, an $85.0 million
term-loan facility, and successfully completed a Senior Subordinated Note
Offering providing for borrowings of $120.0 million.  In addition, Heritage made
an additional equity investment of $15.0 million and received 15,000 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock of Fountain View that entitles them to a dividend at
the time of a liquidity event calculated to achieve a 12%

annual rate of return, as well as warrants to purchase 71,119 shares of Fountain
View's Series C Common Stock.   These funds were used to consummate the purchase
of Summit's remaining shares, refinance all then existing Fountain View
indebtedness, as described above, and Summit indebtedness (except for capital
lease and mortgage obligations) totaling $107.8 million, redeem all outstanding
options for Summit shares, and pay certain fees, expenses, and other costs
arising in connection with such transactions.

On May 4, 1998, Fountain View signed an investment agreement with Baylor Health
Foundation System ("Baylor"), a vertically integrated healthcare system
operating in Texas, and Buckner, a non-profit foundation, (collectively, the
"Baylor Group").  In addition, Fountain View signed an operating agreement with
Baylor.  Pursuant to these agreements, Baylor invested $10.0 million and Buckner
invested $2.5 million in Fountain View through the purchase of 12,342 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock from Heritage that entitles them to a dividend at the
time of a liquidity event calculated to achieve a 12% annual rate of return, as
well as warrants to purchase 59,266 shares of Fountain View's Series C Common
Stock.  As part of its investment, the Baylor Group is entitled to have one of
its nominees serve on Fountain View's board of directors.  Fountain View and
Baylor are also in the process of discussing the possible development or
operation of certain facilities on a joint or cooperative basis.

5.   PROFORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following table sets forth the financial results (in thousands) of the

6.   PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM

Pursuant to the Balanced Budget Act, a  prospective payment system ("PPS") was
established for Medicare SNFs.  Under PPS, facilities are paid a federal per
diem rate for virtually all covered SNF services in lieu of the former cost-
based reimbursement rate.  PPS will be phased in over three cost reporting
periods beginning on or after July 1, 1998.  As of July 1, 1998, 36 of the
Company's 44 SNFs transitioned to PPS.  The remaining eight facilities will
transition on January 1, 1999.

8.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

       REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130")
which establishes standards for the reporting of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.  The standard
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  An enterprise
is required to report a total for comprehensive income in condensed financial
statements of interim periods issued for external reporting purposes.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources.  SFAS 130 uses the term comprehensive
income to describe the total of all components of comprehensive income, that is,
net income plus other comprehensive income.  Other comprehensive income items
include unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities; foreign
currency translation adjustments; changes in the market value of certain futures
contracts; and changes in certain minimum pension liabilities.  Fountain View
has no items of other comprehensive income in the periods reported, and,
therefore, comprehensive income is equal to net income, as reported.

       DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of An Enterprise and
Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997.  This Statement is not required to be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of its application.  SFAS 131
establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements.  It also requires that
those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  Under existing accounting
standards, the Company has reported its operations as one line of business
because substantially all of its revenues have been derived from its skilled
nursing facilities and assisted living facilities and closely related ancillary
services.  The Company is presently evaluating the new standard in order to
determine its effect, if any, on the way the Company might report its operations
in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Net revenues increased $50,148 or 295.5% from $16,970 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $67,118 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
Substantially all of the increase was due to the acquisition of Summit Care.

Average occupancy was 86.5% in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 83.7% in
the quarter ended September 30, 1997.  The Company's quality mix (total net
revenues less Medicaid net revenues) was 62.8% in the quarter ended September
30, 1998 and 72.9% in the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Expenses, consisting of salaries and benefits, provision for doubtful accounts,
supplies, purchased services and other expenses as a percent of net revenues
decreased from 89.1% of net revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to
82.4% in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  This decrease was substantially
due to certain charges (related to the Fountain View Equity Transactions, as
described in Note 3) which were recorded in the quarter ended September 30,
1997.  Expenses increased $40,155 or 265.6% from $15,119 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $55,274 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
Substantially all of the increase was due to the acquisition of Summit Care.

Income before rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and
interest expense increased $9,993 or 539.9% from $1,851 in the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $11,844 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and was
17.6% of net revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to 10.9%
in the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

Rent, rent to related parties, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense increased $9,453 or 553.1% from $1,709 in the quarter ended September
30, 1997 to $11,162 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  Substantially all
of this increase was due to higher depreciation and amortization costs related
to the acquisition of Summit Care's tangible and intangible assets and an
increase in amortization costs and interest expense as a result of the debt
refinancing.

The Company's effective tax rate was 39.9% of income in the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.  The Company was organized as a Subchapter S Corporation for
tax purposes until July 31, 1997 and only recorded state income taxes.  On a
proforma basis, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company has
recorded a charge in lieu of income taxes to arrive at a combined proforma
effective tax rate of 39.4%.  Net income after the proforma charge in lieu of
income taxes, increased $324 from $86 in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to
$410 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

intangible assets and an increase in amortization costs and interest expense as
a result of the debt refinancing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

At September 30, 1998, the Company had $3,765 in cash and cash equivalents and
working capital of $31,662. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the
Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,214.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $6,417 from $10,554 in the
first nine months of 1997 to $4,137 in the first nine months of 1998.  This
decrease was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable.

Long-term debt totaling $242,136 at September 30, 1998, consisted of mortgage
and capital lease obligations of $19,475, a term-loan credit facility of
$82,500, borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit of $20,161 and $120,000
in senior subordinated notes.

The Company had $9,839 in available borrowings on its bank line of credit at
September 30, 1998.  The Company believes that it has sufficient cash flow from
its existing operations and from its bank line of credit to service long-term
debt due within one year of $3,490, to make normal recurring capital
replacements, additions and improvements of approximately $6,000 planned for the
next 12 months and to meet other long-term working capital needs and
obligations.  The Company expects, on a selective basis, to pursue expansion of
its existing centers and the acquisition or development of additional centers in
markets where demographics and competitive factors are favorable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 8 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The health care industry is labor intensive.  Wages and other expenses increase
more rapidly during periods of inflation and when shortages in the labor market
occur.  In addition, suppliers pass along rising costs in the form of higher
prices.  Increases in reimbursement rates under Medicaid generally lag behind
actual cost increases, so that the Company may have difficulty covering these
cost increases in a timely fashion.  In addition, as described in Note 6,
Medicare SNFs are now paid a federal per diem rate under PPS, in lieu of the
former cost-based reimbursement rate.  Increases in the federal portion of the
per diem rates may also lag behind actual cost increases.

                                 (In thousands)


IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send billings, or
engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company is in the process of  assessing its Year 2000 issues.  This
assessment will address information technology and non-information technology
systems, as well as, Year 2000 issues relating to third parties.  This
assessment will include estimated costs, an evaluation of associated risks and
contingency plans, as necessary, to  ensure  the Company is Year 2000 compliant.
The Company's plan with regard to the Year 2000 issue for each of these items
involves the following phases:  (i) assessment of systems to determine the
extent to which the Company may be vulnerable to the Year 2000 issue, both
internally and with respect to third parties; (ii) the development of remedies
to address problems discovered in the assessment phase; (iii) the testing and
implementation of such remedies; and (iv) the preparation of contingency plans
to address potential worst case scenarios should the remedies not be successful.

The Company expects to complete its assessment in the first quarter of 1999.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will complete such
assessment in a timely manner nor that such assessment, when completed will
identify all potential Year 2000 issues.  Failure to timely complete an
assessment of Year 2000 issues which may affect the Company, the failure of such
assessment to identify all potential Year 2000 issues, or the failure of the
Company to timely develop and test remedies to any such issues, could result in
delays in implementing any required modifications, conversions and updates to
the Company's computer systems, as well as the implementation of any contingency
plans.  If such modifications, conversions and updates are not made or not
completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of the Company.

                      FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

     This First Amendment to Credit Agreement (herein, the "Amendment") is
entered into as of October 6, 1998, among Fountain View, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, the Banks party hereto, and Bank of Montreal as Agent for the
Banks.

                            PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

     A.   The Borrower, the Banks, and the Agent entered into a certain Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 16, 1998 (herein, the "Credit Agreement"). All
capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings
herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement.

     B.   The Borrower used proceeds of certain Loans under the Credit Agreement
for the acquisition of the Texas Real Property referred to below, and to pay
costs and expenses related to such acquisition, and now desires to refinance
such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money with proceeds of the Mortgage Refinancing
Loans referred to below.

     C.   The Borrower has therefore requested that the one or more of the Banks
extend $5,000,000 of Mortgage Refinancing Loans to the Borrower and to make
certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement, and the Banks are willing to
do so under the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

     D.   It is intent of the Borrower, the Banks and the Agent that proceeds of
the Mortgage Refinancing Loans used in accordance with clause B above constitute
Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness as such term is defined in the Subordinated
Note Indenture.

     E.   The Borrower and the Banks wish to amend the Credit Agreement to add
Balanced High-Yield Fund II Ltd., as a Bank.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

SECTION 1.   AMENDMENTS.

     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 2 below, the Credit Agreement shall be and hereby is amended as follows:

          1.1. Section 1.3 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated
     in its entirety to read as follows:

          Section 1.3. Term Loan Commitments. On or about April 16, 1998, term
          loans in the aggregate principal amount of $85,000,000 were made
          available to the Borrower by the Banks (herein, the "Original Term
          Loan Commitments") and are currently owing to the Banks in the
<PAGE>
 
          amounts set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (individually an
          "Original Term Loan" and collectively the "Original Term Loans").
          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certain Banks, by their
          acceptance hereof, severally agree to make mortgage refinancing loans
          (individually a "Mortgage Refinancing Loan" and collectively the
          "Mortgage Refinancing Loans"; the Original Term Loans and the Mortgage
          Refinancing Loans being hereinafter referred to collectively as the
          "Term Loans" and individually as a "Term Loan") to the Borrower, with
          each Mortgage Refinancing Loan to be in the amount of the Mortgage
          Refinancing Commitment of the relevant Bank as set forth on Schedule I
          attached hereto (individually a "Mortgage Refinancing Commitment" and
          collectively the "Mortgage Refinancing Commitments"; the Original Term
          Loan Commitments and the Mortgage Refinancing Commitments being
          referred to herein collectively as the "Term Loan Commitments"). The
          Mortgage Refinancing Loans shall be made, if at all, on or before
          October 16, 1998, at which time Mortgage Refinancing Commitments of
          the relevant Banks shall expire. The Mortgage Refinancing Loans shall
          be advanced in a single Borrowing and shall be made by the Banks in
          accordance with their respective Mortgage Refinancing Commitments. Not
          less than $4,000,000 of the proceeds of the Mortgage Refinancing Loans
          shall be used to refinance the Obligations incurred by the Borrower
          under the Revolving Credit in connection with its purchase of the real
          estate commonly known as Southern Manner Nursing Center,
          Hallettsville, Texas and Oakland Manor Nursing Center, Giddings, Texas
          (collectively, the "Texas Real Property"). As provided in Section
          1.6(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that the Term Loans (whether
          advanced as an Original Term Loan or as a Mortgage Refinancing Loan)
          be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. As provided in
          Sections 1.8(b) and 1.8(c), the Term Loans shall mature in
          installments as therein provided. No amount repaid or prepaid on any
          Term Loan may be borrowed again.

          1.2. Clause (a), (b), and (c) of Section 1.7 of the Credit Agreement
     shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

               (a) any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Revolving Loans
          consisting of Base Rate Loans that otherwise would end after the
          Revolving Credit Termination Date shall end on the Revolving Credit
          Termination Date, and any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Term
          Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans that otherwise would end after the
          final maturity date of the relevant Term Loans shall end on the final
          maturity date of such Term Loans;

               (b) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the
          relevant Term Loans shall extend beyond the final maturity date of
          such Term Loans, and no Interest Period with respect to any portion of
          the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
          Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination
          Date;

               (c) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of 
          the relevant Term Loans consisting of Eurodollar Loans shall 
          extend beyond a date on which the Borrower is required to 
          make a scheduled payment of principal on such Term Loans, 
          unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of 
          relevant Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus (b) the 
          aggregate principal amount of relevant Term Loans that are
          Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before 
          such date equals or exceeds the principal amount to be paid 
          on such Term Loans on such payment date;

          1.3. Section 1.8(b) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and
     restated in its entirety, and a new Section 1.8(c) shall be added to the
     Credit Agreement, each of which shall read as follows:

               (b) Scheduled Payments of Original Term Loans. The 
          Borrower shall make principal payments on the Original Term 
          Loans in installments on the last day of each March, June, 
          September and December in each year, commencing with the 
          calendar quarter ending June 30, 1999, with the amount of 
          each such installment to equal to the amount set forth in

     shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

          amount of all Term Loans (whether funded as part of the 
          Original Term Loans or the Mortgage Refinancing Loans) 
          then outstanding.

          1.11. Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be further amended by

          have the right at any time, with the prior consent of the 
          Agent and, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the 
          Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be 
          unreasonably withheld) to sell, assign, transfer or 
          negotiate all or any part of its rights and obligations 
          under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, 
          the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes held by such 
          assigning Bank, together with an equivalent percentage of 
          its obligation to make Loans and participate in L/Cs) to 
          one or more commercial banks or other financial
          institutions or investors, provided that, unless otherwise 
          agreed to by the Agent, such assignment shall be of a 
          fixed percentage (and not by its terms of varying 
          percentage) of the assigning Bank's rights and obligations 
          under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in order
          to make any such assignment (i) unless the assignee Bank 
          is assigning all of its Commitments, outstanding Loans and 
          Reimbursement Obligations, the assigning Bank shall retain 
          at least $5,000,000 in outstanding Loans, interests in 
          Letters of Credit and unused Commitments, (ii) the 
          assignee bank shall have outstanding Loans, interests in 
          Letters of Credit and unused Commitments of at least
          $5,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be evidenced 
          by a written agreement (substantially in the form attached 
          hereto as Exhibit G or in such other form acceptable to 
          the Agent) executed by such assigning Bank, such assignee 
          bank or banks, the Agent and, if required as provided 
          above, the Borrower, which agreement shall specify in each
          instance the portion of the Obligations which are to be 
          assigned to the assignee bank and the portion of the 
          Commitments of the assigning Bank to be assumed by the 
          assignee bank or banks, and (iv) the assigning Bank shall 
          pay to the Agent a 

                                      -6-

          processing fee of $3,500 and any out-of-pocket attorneys' 
          fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection 
          with any such assignment agreement. Any such assignee 
          shall become a Bank for all purposes hereunder to the 
          extent of the rights and obligations under the Loan 
          Documents it assumes and the assigning Bank shall be 
          released from its obligations, and will have released its 
          rights, under the Loan Documents to the extent of such 
          assignment. The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose 
          to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of an interest 
          in the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or 
          its Commitments under this Section any financial or other 
          information pertaining to the Borrower. Promptly upon the 
          effectiveness of any such assignment agreement, the 
          Borrower shall execute and deliver replacement Notes to 
          the assigning Bank and the assignee Bank in the respective 
          amounts of their Commitments (or assigned principal 
          amounts, as applicable) after giving effect to the reduction
          occasioned by such assignment (all such Notes to constitute 
          "Notes" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other 
          Loan Documents) and the assigning Bank shall surrender to 
          the Borrower its old Notes.

               (b) Any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security 
          interest in all or any portion of its rights under this 
          Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any 
          such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this 
          Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a 
          security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of 
          a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its
          obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or 
          secured party for such Bank as a party hereto; provided 
          further, however, that the right of any such pledgee or 
          grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further 
          transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted 
          to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be
          at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          1.15. The Credit Agreement shall be amended by adding at the end
     thereof a Schedule I which shall read as set forth on Schedule I attached
     hereto and made a part hereof.

          1.16. Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement shall be deleted and a new
     Exhibit E-1 and Exhibit E-2 shall be inserted in lieu thereof which shall
     read as set forth on Exhibits E-1 and E-2 attached hereto.

          1.17. The term "Bank" or "Banks" as defined in the Credit Agreement
     shall mean and include the Banks currently a party to the Credit Agreement
     and also Balanced High-Yield Fund II Ltd.

SECTION 2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

     The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of all
of the following conditions precedent:

          2.1. The Borrower, the Agent, and each of the Banks shall have
     executed and delivered this Amendment.

          2.2. The Agent shall have received for each of the Banks replacement
     Revolving Notes and Term Notes evidencing the Loans made or to be made by
     such Banks in the amounts set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and
     otherwise in compliance with the provision of Section 1.11 hereof.

          2.3. The Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause the relevant
     Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, in favor of the Agent for the benefit
     of the Banks mortgage liens on the real estate commonly known as Southern
     Manor Nursing Center, Hallettsville, Texas, and Oakland Manor Nursing
     Center, Giddings, Texas, pursuant to one or more deeds of trust in form and
     substance satisfactory to the Agent.

          2.4. The Agent shall have received for each Bank copies of resolutions
     of the Borrower's Board of Directors authorizing the execution, delivery,
     and performance of this Amendment and of resolutions of the Board of
     Directors of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries authorizing the execution,
     delivery, and performance of the other Loan Documents to be executed by
     them pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case certified to by its
     Secretary or Assistant Secretary.

          2.5. The Agent shall receive for the Banks making the Mortgage
     Refinancing Loans hereunder such fees, if any, agreed to by the Borrower
     and the Agent and such Banks.

          2.6. Each Subsidiary shall have executed its acknowledgement and
     consent to this Amendment in the space provided for that purpose below.

          2.7. The Agent shall have received for each Bank the favorable written
     opinion of counsel to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in form and
     substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

          2.8. Legal matters incident to the execution and delivery of this
     Amendment shall be satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.

     Within 90 days of the date of this Amendment, the Borrower shall provide to
     the Agent environmental assessment reports (and reliance letters), surveys,
     local counsel opinions, and lenders title insurance policies on such
     properties in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (the parties
     acknowledging and agreeing that only Phase I environmental assessment shall
     be required unless such Phase I environmental assessments reveal the
     potential existence of environmental issues that pose a threat to health
     and safety or the use of the premises in question for its intended purposes
     or which would materially detract from the overall value of the real
     property to be mortgaged (in which case further

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
     environmental tests and remediation may be required by the Agent or the
     Required Banks)) for the two properties referred to in Section 2.3 above.
     The Borrower's failure to comply with the foregoing conditions subsequent
     within the time period set forth above shall constitute an "Event of
     Default" under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS.

     In order to induce the Banks to execute and deliver this Amendment, the
Borrower hereby represents to the Agent and the Banks that as of the date hereof
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Credit
Agreement are and shall be and remain true and correct (except that the
representations contained in Section 6.5 shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Banks) and the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all of the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result after giving
effect to this Amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower hereby
represents to the Agent and the Banks that the Mortgage Financing Loans, when
issued, will constitute "Senior Debt", as defined in the Indenture dated as of
April 16. 1998, relating to the Fountain View, Inc. Series A and Series B 
11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2008 (the "Indenture"), permitted by the
Indenture, and the issuance of the Mortgage Refinancing Loans, and the granting
of collateral security therefor, will not conflict with or create a default
under the Indenture.

SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

     4.1. The Borrower has heretofore executed and delivered to the Agent and
the Banks certain of the Collateral Documents. The Borrower hereby acknowledges
and agrees that, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Amendment,
the Collateral Documents remain in full force and effect and the rights and
remedies of the Agent and the Banks thereunder, the obligations of the Borrower
thereunder, and the liens and security interests created and provided for
thereunder remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired,
or discharged hereby. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the
Mortgage Refinancing Loans made hereunder constitute Obligations secured by each
of the Collateral Documents, including each of the Mortgages. Nothing herein
contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and
security interests created and provided for by the Collateral Documents as to
the indebtedness which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this
Amendment and the making of the Supplemental Term Loans hereunder.

     4.2. Except as specifically amended herein, the Credit Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms.
Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in the Credit Agreement,
the Notes, or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith,
or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or
with respect to the Credit Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the
Credit Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended
hereby.

     4.3 By signing below, each Bank hereby (i) confirms that it has received a
copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial
statements delivered to the Banks pursuant to the terms thereof and such other
documents and information as it has deemed

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Amendment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it
as a Bank.

     4.4. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of or
incurred by the Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution, and delivery of this Amendment and the other instruments and
documents to be executed and delivered in connection herewith, including the
fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent.

     4.5. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by
the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any of the parties
hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart and each of
such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original. This
Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois.

     The undersigned, being all of the Subsidiaries of Fountain View, Inc., have

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FOUNTAIN VIEW, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of
_______________________ (the "Bank") at the principal office of Bank of
Montreal, as Agent, in Chicago, Illinois, in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of ____________________ Dollars ($_______ ) or, if less, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Original Term Loan made or maintained
by the Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, in consecutive
quarter-annual principal installments in the amounts called for by Section
1.8(b) of the Credit Agreement, commencing on June 30, 1999, and continuing on
the last day of each June, September, December and March occurring thereafter,
together with interest on the principal amount of such Original Term Loan from
time to time outstanding hereunder at the rates, and payable in the manner and
on the dates, specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all principal and
interest not sooner paid on the Original Term Loan evidenced hereby shall be due
and payable on March 31, 2004, the final maturity date hereof.

     The Bank shall record on its books or records or on a schedule attached to
this Note, which is a part hereof, the Original Term Loan made or maintained by
it pursuant to the Credit Agreement, together with all payments of principal and
interest and the principal balances from time to time outstanding hereon,
whether the Original Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, the
interest rate and Interest Period applicable thereto, provided that prior to the
transfer of this Note all such amounts shall be recorded on a schedule attached
to this Note. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records or on a
schedule to this Note, shall be prima facie evidence of the same, provided,
however, that the failure of the Bank to record any of the foregoing or any
error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Original Term Loan made to it pursuant to the Credit
Agreement together with accrued interest thereon.

     This Note is one of the Term Notes referred to in the Credit Agreement
dated as of April 16, 1998, among the Borrower, Bank of Montreal, as Agent, and
the Banks party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"), and this Note and the holder
hereof are entitled to all the benefits and security provided for thereby or
referred to therein, to which Credit Agreement reference is hereby made for a
statement thereof. All defined terms used in this Note, except terms otherwise
defined herein, shall have the same meaning as in the Credit Agreement. This
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Illinois.

     Voluntary prepayments may be made hereon, certain prepayments are required
to be made hereon, and this Note may be declared due prior to the expressed
maturity hereof (in each case without premium or penalty except as otherwise set
forth in the Credit Agreement), all in the events, on the terms and in the
manner as provided for in the Credit Agreement.
