                                  INTRODUCTION

     This Amendment No. 4 (the "Amendment") to the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1, as amended (the "Schedule 14D-1") filed by Fountain View, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), FV-SCC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation ("Purchaser") and Heritage Fund II, L.P. ("Heritage"), relates to
the offer by Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, to purchase all
outstanding Shares of Summit Care Corporation, a California corporation (the
"Company"), at a price of $21.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase
dated February 13, 1998, as supplemented by a Supplement to Offer to Purchase
dated March 19, 1998 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together constitute the "Offer"), copies of which are
attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1), (a)(9) and (a)(2), respectively.  This
Amendment amends the Schedule 14D-1 originally filed on February 13, 1998, by
Purchaser and Parent, as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1 filed March 11, 1998, by
Purchaser, Parent and Heritage; (ii) Amendment No. 2 filed March 16, 1998, by
Purchaser, Parent and Heritage; and (iii) Amendment No. 3 filed March 19, 1998,
by Purchaser, Parent and Heritage.

     All capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition have the
meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 14D-1.

     This Amendment also constitutes the Statement on Schedule 13D with respect
to the acquisition by Purchaser and Parent of beneficial ownership of the
Shares, pursuant to General Instruction F of Schedule 14D-1.

     The items of the Schedule 14D-1 set forth below are hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:


ITEM 6.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

     (a)-(b)  The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March
25, 1998.  Based on a preliminary count approximately 6,752,238 Shares, or
approximately 99.1% of the total number of Shares then outstanding were tendered
pursuant to the Offer; of this, 1,290 Shares were tendered pursuant to notices
of guaranteed delivery. On March 26, 1998, Purchaser accepted for payment all
Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.
As a result of the foregoing, Purchaser has a sufficient number of Shares to
enable it to effect the Merger without a vote or meeting of the Company's
shareholders.  After the Merger, Parent will own 100% of the Company.  Parent
and Purchaser intend to effect the Merger as soon as practicable.  The text of
the press release dated March 27, 1998 announcing the expiration of the tender
offer and the acceptance of validly tendered Shares is annexed hereto as Exhibit
(a)(11) and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 11.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     Item 11 is hereby supplemented and amended by adding the following exhibit:


(a)(11)   Joint Press Release issued by Parent, Purchaser and Heritage on 
          March 27, 1998.

  HERITAGE AND FOUNTAIN VIEW ACCEPT TENDERED SHARES OF SUMMIT CARE CORPORATION

     BOSTON, Massachusetts and LOS ANGELES, California, March 27: Heritage Fund
II, L.P., Fountain View, Inc. and FV-SCC Acquisition Corp. ("FV-SCC") announced
today that 6,752,238 shares, or approximately 99.1% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Summit Care Corporation (Nasdaq:SUMC) were tendered at a price
of $21.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, in response to FV-SCC's tender
offer, based upon a preliminary count by Harris Trust Company of New York, the
depositary. The tender offer expired by its terms on March 25, 1998 and the
shares tendered will be purchased in accordance with the terms of the offer.
Payment for the tendered shares is scheduled for March 27, 1998.

     Fountain View will proceed with those steps necessary to complete the
merger of FV-SCC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, with and into Summit Care.  The
merger is expected to be completed on or about April 16, 1998.  Pursuant to the
merger, any shares of Summit common stock not tendered and purchased pursuant to
the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive $21.00 per share in
cash.

     As a result of the acquisition, Fountain View, Inc. 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 that offer sub-acute,
rehabilitative and specialty medical skilled nursing care, as well as six
assisted living facilities that provide room and board and social services in a
secure environment.  Fountain View also operates contract and outpatient therapy
businesses, and three pharmacy units, one of which is a joint venture.  The
combined operation will have approximately 6,600 beds, 5,300 full-time
equivalent employees and $275 million in annual revenues.

     "As in many other sectors, the long-term care industry needs to consolidate
to remain competitive above all in view of the added pressure on pricing
stemming from managed care," says Michel Reichert, Heritage Managing General
Partner.  Reichert added, "the merger of Fountain View and Summit, therefore,
will ensure a stronger market position for the two operations as large providers
of higher acuity skilled nursing services in Southern California and Texas."

     Further information regarding acceptance and payment for tendered shares is
available from the information agent, Morrow & Co., Inc. at (800) 566-9061 or
from the dealer manager, Sutro & Co. at (310) 914-7799.
