                      SUN HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. COMMENCES CASH TENDER OFFER FOR
                                      REGENCY HEALTH SERVICES SUBORDINATED NOTES

Albuquerque, N.M., Aug. 21, 1997 -- Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE:SHG) has 
announced that Sunreg Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun 
Healthcare Group, has commenced an offer to purchase for cash all of Regency 
Health Services, Inc.'s outstanding (i) $110 million principal amount of 9-7/8% 
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "Senior Notes") and (ii) $50 million 
principal amount of 12-1/4% Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Junior Notes") 
and, together with the Senior Notes, the "Securities"), and a solicitation for 
consents to amend the indentures pursuant to which the Securities were issued.

        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase 
and Consent Solicitation Statement and the Consent and Letter of Transmittal, 
the total amount payable by Sunreg for Senior Notes or Junior Notes validly 
tendered and consents properly delivered will be equal to an amount calculated 
in a manner intended to result in a yield to October 15, 1999 or July 15, 2000, 
the respective first redemption dates for the Securities, equal to the sum of 
the comparable treasury yield and 75 and 100 basis points, respectively, plus 
accrued interest.

        The Offer and Consent Solicitation are conditioned upon, among other
things, (i) the valid tender of at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of each issue of Securities, (ii) the receipt of consents from
the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount
of each issue of Securities (excluding any Securities owned by Regency or any
affiliate of Regency) to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive
covenants and delete or amend certain events of default and related provisions
of the indentures and (iii) the satisfaction or waiver by Sunreg of all of the
conditions with respect to its pending offer to purchase all outstanding shares
of common stock of Regency.

        The close of business on August 15, 1997 has been established as the
record date for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Offer and Consent
Solicitation will expire at 12 midnight, Eastern Standard Time, on September 15,
1997, unless such date is extended by Sunreg. Tenders may not be withdrawn and
consents may not be revoked subsequent to the later of the receipt of the
requisite consents and 5 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on August 29, 1997, unless
such date is extended. The comparable treasury yields for the Senior Notes and
the Junior Notes will be the

yield on the 7-1/2% U.S. Treasury Note due October 1999, and the yield on the 
6-1/8% U.S. Treasury Note due July 2000, respectively, each at 2 p.m., Eastern 
Standard Time, on August 29, 1997, unless such date is extended.

        Holders of Securities may participate in the Offer only through the 
completion of a Consent and Letter of Transmittal. Copies of the Consent and 
Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from Innisfree M&A Incorporated and Morrow
