             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     On November 4, 1997, the Company engaged in two merger transactions.
First, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger among Apollo Management, L.P.
("Apollo Management," and together with certain of its affiliates, "Apollo"),
Apollo LCA Acquisition Corp. (a corporation owned by certain Apollo affiliates
and other investors, "Apollo Sub") and Living Centers of America, Inc. ("LCA"),
Apollo Sub was capitalized with $240 million in cash and was merged with and
into LCA (the "Recapitalization Merger").  In the Recapitalization Merger, LCA
was the surviving corporation and was renamed Paragon Health Network, Inc.
("Paragon").  Second, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger among LCA,
GranCare, Inc. ("GranCare"), Apollo Management and LCA Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Paragon ("LCA Sub"), GranCare merged with LCA Sub
with GranCare surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Paragon (the "GranCare
Merger," and collectively with the Recapitalization Merger, the "Mergers").  The
GranCare Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

     The consummation of the Mergers required aggregate proceeds of
approximately $1.4 billion.  The funds required for the Mergers and related
transaction fees and expenses were provided primarily by: (i) proceeds of
approximately $449 million from the offering (the "Offering") of $275 million in
Senior Subordinated Notes and $294 million in Senior Subordinated Discount Notes
(collectively, the "Notes"); (ii) borrowings by the Company of approximately
$740 million under a new senior credit facility which provides for aggregate
commitments of up to $890 million (the "Senior Credit Facility"); and (iii) the
equity investment by Apollo and certain other investors (collectively with
Apollo, the "Apollo Investors") of approximately $240 million (the "Apollo
Investment").

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of income for the year ended
September 30, 1997 gives effect to the above transactions as if they occurred on
October 1, 1996.  The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives
effect to the above transactions as if they occurred on September 30, 1997.  The
unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results that would have been achieved had the Mergers been consummated
as of those dates, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating
results.  The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of LCA and the related
notes thereto appearing in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1997.

       NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

(1)  Recapitalization of and investment by the Apollo Investors in LCA pursuant
     to the Recapitalization Merger:
     (a)  New borrowings by LCA to fund share repurchase and retirement of debt.
     (b)  Infusion of capital into LCA by the Apollo Investors in exchange for
          17.8 million shares (adjusted for three-for-one stock split declared
          in November 1997) of Paragon Common Stock.
     (c)  Repurchase of approximately 54.5 million shares (adjusted for three-
          for-one stock split declared in November 1997) of LCA Common Stock and
          retirement of LCA treasury stock.
     (d)  Retirement of existing LCA debt.

(2)  Merger of LCA Sub into GranCare pursuant to the GranCare Merger:
     (a)  Retirement of certain existing GranCare debt.
     (b)  Payment of deferred financing fees on new debt and other financing
          related fees, net of related income tax benefits of $3.1 million.
     (c)  Exchange and retirement of GranCare Common Stock for Paragon Common
          Stock valued at $231.1 million (17,114,866 shares (adjusted for three-
          for-one stock split declared in November 1997) of Paragon Common Stock
          to be received by GranCare stockholders at an estimated fair value of
          $13.50 per share (adjusted for three-for-one stock split declared in
          November 1997), based upon the price to be paid by the Apollo
          Investors for shares of Paragon Common Stock in the Recapitalization
          Merger), and resulting elimination of GranCare equity and allocation
          of purchase price in excess of net assets to goodwill. The allocation
          of purchase price is preliminary and no adjustment has been made to
          revalue GranCare's assets and liabilities to fair value, nor to assign
          value to identifiable intangible assets. The Company is in the process
          of quantifying the revaluation of these balances, however, it is not
          completed at this time. Pro forma goodwill represents 22% of pro forma
          total assets. The carrying value of goodwill will be reviewed if the
          facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this
          review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, the carrying
          value of the goodwill will be reduced by the estimated shortfall of
          cash flows as determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset
          to its fair value. Fair value is based on market prices where
          available, an estimate of market value, or determined by various
          valuation techniques (including discounted cash flows).

(3)  Estimated recapitalization and related costs of $31.2 million, net of
     related income tax benefits of $3.7 million, and settlement and lease
     restructuring costs of $29.0 million (consisting of the $19.0 million
     termination fees (the "Termination Fees") payable to Vitalink and Manor
     Care, Inc. ("Manor Care") as well as the $10.0 million restructuring
     payment to Health and Retirement Properties Trust ("HRPT")) and net of
     related income tax benefits of $11.6 million. The settlement and lease
     restructuring costs are being paid in connection with the GranCare Merger.

(4)  Estimated costs totaling $45.5 million, net of related income tax benefits
     of $18.2 million, related to change of control and severance payments and
     other related merger expenses to be paid in connection with the GranCare
     Merger. $14.5 million of these costs are expected to be paid upon
     consummation of the Mergers and the remaining $31.0 million paid subsequent
     to closing. Not included in such estimated costs is up to $11.0 million
     that certain parties allege will be due upon consummation of the Mergers as
     accelerated "earnouts" under acquisition agreements to which LCA is a
     party. Paragon intends to vigorously defend against any claim for
     accelerated payment of such amounts.

(5)  The annual maturities of total long-term debt in the next five fiscal years
     are as follows (in thousands):
 
     1998 .............................................$     4,993
     1999 .............................................     29,654
     2000 .............................................     50,599
     2001 .............................................     52,922
     2002 .............................................     69,451
     Thereafter .......................................  1,072,814

     The classification of current and non-current portions of pro forma long-
     term debt is based on the actual maturities of retained debt, the stated
     terms of each tranche of the Senior Credit Facility and the 10-year term of
     the Notes.

(6)  Payment of security deposit to lessor.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME

(1)  Reflects elimination of Old GranCare's institutional pharmacy business
     ("TeamCare" or the "Institutional Pharmacy Business") operating results for
     the twelve month period ended September 30, 1997. TeamCare was spun off by
     GranCare in February 1997 in connection with the Vitalink Merger.

(2)  Excludes estimated pre-tax change of control, severance and merger costs of
     $45.5 million and estimated pre-tax recapitalization and related costs of
     $51.7 million, which amount includes the $19.0 million Termination Fees
     payable to Vitalink and Manor Care, Inc. ("Manor Care") as well as the
     $10.0 million restructuring payment to HRPT, each of which will be paid
     upon consummation of the Transactions.

(3)  Represents incremental rent on lease restructuring.

(4)  Represents goodwill amortization on transaction goodwill based on 30-year
     period.

(5)  Interest expense-pro forma adjustments for interest expense are as follows
     (in thousands):

     A 12.5 basis point increase or decrease in the average interest rate on the
     variable rate debt issued in connection with the Mergers would change pro
     forma interest expense and finance charges by $0.9 million and pro forma
     net income by $0.5 million.

(6)  Income taxes are adjusted to reflect tax provision effect of pro forma
     adjustments, less non-deductible goodwill, at an estimated effective tax
     rate of 40%.

(7)  Includes $8.0 million pre-tax charge, recorded in the quarter ended June
     30, 1997, associated with a change in accounting estimate related to
     allowance for doubtful accounts. Also includes $18.5 million pre-tax
     charge, recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 1997, for an additional
     provision for doubtful accounts. During and following the quarter ended
     September 30, 1997, management reviewed in greater detail GranCare's
     allowance for doubtful accounts and concluded that an additional charge was
     necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts for GranCare reflects the
     methodology utilized by LCA.

(8)  The $28.3 million merger and other related cost charge relates to the spin-
     off of TeamCare in February, 1997. Such amount excludes a $4.8 million
     extraordinary debt extinguishment charge, which resulted from debt
     repayments associated with the Vitalink Merger. The provision for income
     taxes is affected by $19.0 million of these merger expenses that are not
     tax deductible.
