ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     During the period from January 1, 1998 through October 1, 1998, Nationwide
Health Properties, Inc. (the "Company") acquired from parties not related to the
Company, 14 assisted living facilities ("ALF"), 15 skilled nursing facilities
("SNF"), 2 continuing care retirement communities ("CCRC") and 8 residential
care facilities for the elderly ("RCFE") in 23 separate transactions at an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,905,000.  The facilities were,
concurrently with their acquisition, leased on a triple net basis to 10
different operators under terms generally similar to the Company's existing
leases.  The transactions were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's
revolving bank line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Sanwa
Bank California, The Bank of New York and Nationsbank, N.A., approximately
$4,137,000 of debt assumption, the issuance of 201,190 shares of the Company's
common stock and by cash on hand. Except as indicated below, the Company 
purchased the assets of each of the facilities. The Company periodically uses
funds raised through the issuance of medium-term notes and equity offerings to
repay indebtedness under its revolving bank line of credit.

     the Company.

       The Company believes these acquisitions are consistent with the Company's
historical business strategy of acquiring and concurrently net leasing health
care facilities to qualified operators. In assessing the facilities, the Company
considered the type, location, age, design and physical condition of the
facilities acquired, as well as historical, if applicable, and projected
operating results of the health care operations conducted at the facilities.
Additionally, the Company considers the operating ability, financial condition
and reputation of the operator to which the acquired facilities are to be
leased.  After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any material
factors that would cause the financial information reported not to be
necessarily indicative of future operating results.  The Company intends to
continue the current use of each property.

       Although no single acquisition is considered a "significant acquisition"
pursuant to the rules governing the reporting of transactions on Form 8-K, under
Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, these acquisitions in the aggregate, may be
considered to be material in nature.  Certain audited pro forma financial
information concerning these properties is provided in Item 7 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K.

ITEM 7.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

       Financial information for the health care operations of the acquired
facilities is not presented because the related operating information for such
facilities, after exclusion of items not comparable to the proposed net leased
real estate operations by the Company pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X,
would not be meaningful.  Alternatively, the Company has presented audited pro
forma operating information for each of the acquired properties as if the
acquired properties had been owned and net leased by the Company since January
1, 1997.

     (a) (3) -Audited pro forma statements of income for the acquired facilities
             for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     (b) (1) -Unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 for the
             Company after giving effect to the acquisition of the facilities.

             -Pro forma statement of operations for the Company after giving
             effect to the acquisition of the facilities for the nine-month
             period ended September 30, 1998.

             -Pro forma statement of operations for the Company after giving
             effect to the acquisition of the facilities for the year ended
             December 31, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS, NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC.:

We have examined the pro forma adjustments reflecting the transactions described
in Note 1 and the application of those adjustments to the assembly of the
accompanying pro forma statements of income of the properties acquired by
Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. during the period January 1, 1998 to October
1, 1998 as indicated in Item 5 of this Form 8-K (collectively "the Acquired
Properties") for the year ended December 31, 1997.  The historical statements of
income are omitted since substantially all historical amounts are not relevant
on a pro forma basis and in some cases, the facilities were opened in 1998.  The
pro forma adjustments are based upon management's assumptions described in Note
2.  Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
such procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The objective of this pro forma financial information is to show what the
significant effects on the historical financial information might have been had
the transactions occurred at an earlier date.  However, the pro forma statements
of income are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would
have been attained had the above-mentioned transactions actually occurred
earlier.

In our opinion, management's assumptions provide a reasonable basis for
presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the above-mentioned
transactions described in Note 1, the related pro forma adjustments give
appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro forma statements of income
for the year ended December 31, 1997 reflect the proper application of those
adjustments to the historical statement of income amounts.

FOOTNOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF INCOME

NOTE 1:  Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (the "Company") acquired 14 assisted
living facilities, 15 skilled nursing facilities, 2 continuing care retirement
communities and 8 residential care facilities for the elderly in 23 separate
transactions at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $110,905,000.  The
facilities were leased to 10 different operators under terms generally similar
to the Company's existing leases.  The facilities are leased under "net" leases
which are accounted for as operating leases.  The leases have initial terms of 9
to 15 years.  The Company earns fixed monthly minimum rent and may earn periodic
additional rents.  The additional payments are generally computed as a
percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts or as a
percentage of the increase in the Consumer Price Index.  Additional rents are
generally calculated and payable monthly or quarterly and generally commence in
the second year of the leases.  Under terms of the leases, the lessees are
responsible for all maintenance, repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased
properties.

The pro forma statements of income reflect the acquisitions of the properties as
if they had been owned since January 1, 1997.

NOTE 2:  Pro forma minimum rents are based upon the monthly minimum rents
specified in the leases.  No additional rent amounts are assumed for purposes of
the pro forma statements of income based upon the terms of the leases.

Pro forma depreciation is based upon the purchase prices of the facilities being
allocated to building and depreciated over 30 to 40 year lives.

Pro forma interest expense is based upon allocating the Company's 1998 debt and
equity financing to the acquisitions on a proportional basis, except in the case
of facilities which were directly financed by the assumption of debt or the
issuance of the Company's common stock.  For such facilities, interest expense
is based upon applying the actual interest rate to the debt assumed and
allocating the Company's 1998 debt and equity financing to the acquisitions on a
proportional basis for any balance remaining after deducting the debt assumed
and the common stock issued.  The weighted average borrowing rate applied to the
general debt financing is based upon the Company's 1998 medium term note
issuances and its September 30, 1998 weighted average rate on its unsecured
revolving line of credit.  Such weighted average rate was 6.84%.  The Company's
unsecured line of credit matures on March 31, 2001.  The Company anticipates
repaying such line of credit borrowings at some time in the future prior to its
current maturity with proceeds from public offerings or private placements of
long-term unsecured debt or equity.  Accordingly, the actual interest expense
resulting from the acquisitions of the facilities may vary.

No pro forma general and administrative costs are included because: (1) such
amounts are expected to be immaterial, and (2) the Company does not expect to
add additional staff as a result of the transactions described in Note 1 above.

NOTE 3:  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1998
and unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1997 have been prepared
to reflect the acquisition of 14 assisted living facilities, 15 skilled nursing
facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 8 residential care
facilities for the elderly in 23 separate transactions at an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $110,905,000 during the period from January 1, 1998
through October 1, 1998 (the "Acquired Facilities") and the adjustments
described in the accompanying notes.  The pro forma financial information is
based on the historical financial statements of Nationwide Health Properties,
Inc. (the "Company") as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 1998 and the Company's  Annual Report to
Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, and should be
read in conjunction with those financial statements and the notes thereto.

     The Pro Forma Balance Sheet was prepared as if the Acquired Facilities were
owned on September 30, 1998.  The Pro Forma Statements of Operations were
prepared as if the Acquired Facilities were purchased as of the beginning of the
period presented.

     The combined pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative
of the financial position or results of operations which actually would have
occurred if such transactions had been consummated on the dates described, nor
does it purport to represent the Company's future financial position or results
of operations.

FOOTNOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF INCOME

NOTE 1:  The Company acquired 14 assisted living facilities, 15 skilled nursing
facilities, 2 continuing care retirement communities and 8 residential care
facilities for the elderly in 23 separate transactions at an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $110,905,000.  The facilities were leased to 10 different
operators under terms generally similar to the Company's existing leases.  The
facilities are leased under "net" leases which are accounted for as operating
leases.  The leases have initial terms of 9 to 15 years.  The Company earns
fixed monthly minimum rent and may earn periodic additional rents. The
additional payments are generally computed as a percentage of facility net
patient revenues in excess of base amounts or as a percentage of the increase in
the Consumer Price Index.  Additional rents are generally calculated and payable
monthly or quarterly and generally commence in the second year of the leases.
Under terms of the leases, the lessees are responsible for all maintenance,
repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.

The pro forma statements of income reflect the acquisitions of the properties as
if they had been owned since the beginning of the period presented, and the pro
forma balance sheet reflects the acquisition of the properties as if they had
been owned on September 30, 1998.

NOTE 2:  The pro forma balance sheet adjustments reflect the allocation between
land and building and improvements of the $13,930,000 of acquired properties
purchased after September 30, 1998, the increase in bank borrowings related to
the acquisitions and a reduction in cash to reflect the payment of a portion of
the purchase price and miscellaneous closing costs.  No adjustment has been made
to reflect accumulated depreciation for those properties acquired prior to
September 30, 1998.

NOTE 3:  The pro forma minimum rent adjustment is based upon the monthly minimum
rents specified in the leases.  No additional rent amounts are assumed for
purposes of the pro forma statements of income based upon the terms of the
leases.

The pro forma depreciation adjustment is based upon the purchase prices of the
facilities being allocated to building and depreciated over 30 to 40 year lives.

Pro forma interest expense is based upon allocating the Company's 1998 debt and
equity financing to the acquisitions on a proportional basis, except in the case
of facilities which were directly financed by the issuance of the Company's
common stock or the assumption of debt. For such facilities, interest expense is
based upon applying the actual interest rate to the debt assumed and allocating
the Company's 1998 debt and equity financing to the acquisitions on a
proportional basis for any balance remaining after deducting the debt assumed
and the common stock issued. The weighted average borrowing rate applied to the
debt financing is based upon the Company's 1998 medium term note issuances and
its September 30, 1998 weighted average rate on its unsecured revolving line of
credit.  Such weighted average rate was 6.84%.  The Company's unsecured line of
credit matures on March 31, 2001.  The Company anticipates repaying such line of
credit borrowings at some time in the future prior to its current maturity with
proceeds from public offerings or private placements of long-term unsecured debt
or equity.  Accordingly, the actual interest expense resulting from the
acquisitions of the facilities may vary.

No pro forma general and administrative costs are included because: (1) such
amounts are expected to be immaterial, and (2) the Company does not expect to
add additional staff as a result of the transactions described in Note 1 above.

The pro forma weighted average shares adjustment reflects the weighted average
impact of considering the portion of the 1998 stock issuances allocated to the
funding of acquisitions outstanding for the entire periods presented.

NOTE 4:  The preparation of financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
