PRELIMINARY NOTE

     The persons filing this Amendment No. 3 are (i) Tweedy, Browne Company LLC
("TBC"), a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) TBK Partners, L.P. ("TBK"),
a Delaware limited partnership and (iii) Vanderbilt Partners, L.P.
("Vanderbilt"), a Delaware limited partnership. This Amendment No. 3 amends a
Statement on Schedule 13D filed by TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt dated August 5, 1996
(the "Statement"). The filing of this Amendment No. 3 should not be deemed an
admission that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt comprise a group within the meaning of
Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Act").

     Tweedy, Browne Company L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership") and its general partners entered into a definitive agreement,
pursuant to which the Partnership converted to Tweedy, Browne Company LLC (the
"Company"), a Delaware limited liability company, and AMG/TBC Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Affiliated
Managers Group, Inc. (a Boston-based holding company, the business address of
which is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, acquired a
majority interest in the Company on October 9, 1997.

     This Amendment No. 3 relates to the Common Stock, $.01 par value (the
"Common Stock"), of Regency Health Services Inc. (The "Company"), which, to the
best knowledge of the persons filing this Amendment No. 3, is a company
organized under the laws of Delaware, with its principal executive offices at
2742 Dow Avenue, Tustin, CA 92680.

     This Amendment No. 3 contains information regarding shares of Common Stock
that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TBC. Such shares are held in the
accounts of various customers of TBC, with respect to which it has obtained sole
or shared voting power.

     This Amendment No. 3 is being filed because the filing persons are no
longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as a result of the disposition of
their respective shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer by Sunreg
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Healthcare Group,
Inc., to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock for
$22.00 per share (the "Tender Offer").

     Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt, there has been no material change in the information set forth in
response to Items 1,2,4,6 and 7 of the Statement, as amended. Accordingly, those
Items are omitted from this Amendment No. 3.



ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) As a result of the disposition of 230,890 shares of Common Stock
tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, TBC does not beneficially own any shares
of Common Stock.

     As a result of the disposition of 35,100 shares of Common Stock tendered
pursuant to the Tender Offer, TBK does not beneficially own any shares of Common
Stock.

     As a result of the disposition of 15,600 shares of Common Stock tendered
pursuant to the Tender Offer, Vanderbilt does not beneficially own any shares of
Common Stock.

     Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner
of any of the shares of Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts.


<PAGE>   7



     Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of Common
Stock held by the other. Except as described herein, to the best knowledge of
TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to comprise a group with
any of TBC, TBK, Vanderbilt, or any other person named in Item 2 of the
Statement, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

     (b)  Not applicable.


     (c)  During the sixty-day period ended as of the date hereof, TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt tendered shares of the Common Stock as follows:

</TABLE>


     (d) To the best knowledge of TBC, each of the persons maintaining an
account with TBC has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock
held in said person's TBC Account.

     To the best knowledge of TBK, no person other than TBK has the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the TBK Shares, except that the General Partners and Thomas P.
Knapp may be deemed to have such rights and powers solely by reason of being
general partners in TBK.

     To the best knowledge of Vanderbilt, no person other than Vanderbilt has
the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
the proceeds from the sale of, the Vanderbilt Shares, except that the General
Partners in Vanderbilt may be deemed to have such rights and powers solely by
reason of being general partners in Vanderbilt.

     (e) TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt ceased to be the beneficial owner of any shares
of Common Stock on October 29, 1997.
