ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

    On August 21, 1997, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") entered into an 
amendment (the "RCA Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and 
Reorganization, dated as of February 17, 1997, as amended by Amendment No. 1 
thereto dated as of May 27, 1997 (as amended, the "RCA Merger Agreement"), by 
and among Sun, Retirement Care Associates, Inc., a Colorado corporation 
("RCA") and Peach Acquisition Corporation, a Colorado corporation and a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun ("RCA Merger Sub"), pursuant to which RCA 
Merger Agreement RCA Merger Sub will be merged (the "RCA Merger") with and 
into RCA.

    The RCA Amendment changes the exchange ratio provided for in the RCA 
Merger Agreement such that RCA shareholders will now receive 0.520 shares 
instead of 0.68265 shares of Sun common stock for each share of RCA common 
stock owned by them on the effective date of the RCA Merger.  The RCA 
Amendment also (i) contains certain provisions requiring RCA to revise and 
restate its fiscal 1997 financial statements for the quarters ended September 
30, 1996, December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1997; (ii) waives certain 
representations and warranties which have become incorrect since the date of 
the RCA Merger Agreement and quantifies the materiality threshold for RCA's 
representations and warranties; (iii) contains certain provisions related to 
the resignation of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as RCA's independent auditors; 
(iv) amends the provisions indemnifying RCA's directors and officers; and (v) 
extends the date after which either party may freely terminate the RCA Merger 
Agreement from September 30, 1997 to November 30, 1997 (or, under certain 
circumstances, to December 31, 1997).

    On August 21, 1997, Sun also entered into an amendment (the "Contour 
Amendment" and, together with the RCA Amendment, the "Amendments") to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of February 17, 
1997 (the "Contour Merger Agreement"), by and among Sun, Contour Medical, 
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Contour") and Nectarine Acquisition Corporation, 
a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun ("Contour Merger 
Sub"), pursuant to which Contour Merger Agreement Contour Merger Sub will be 
merged (the "Contour Merger" and, together with the RCA Merger, the 
"Mergers") with and into Contour. The Contour Amendment contains certain 
provisions related to the resignation of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as Contour's 
independent auditors and extends the date after which either party may freely 
terminate the Contour Merger Agreement from September 30, 1997 to November 
30, 1997 (or, under certain circumstances, to December 31, 1997). 

    The Mergers are subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies 
and will be considered at separate meetings now anticipated to occur in the 
fourth quarter of 1997.  The Mergers remain subject to other customary 
conditions.  The Mergers will be effective promptly following shareholder 
approval, assuming satisfaction of the other conditions to the Mergers.

    The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 
full text of the Amendments, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 
and are incorporated herein by reference.

    or results of operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken
    as a whole, or to such Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the

    Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 1996,
    December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1997, containing financial statements
    reflecting all of the adjustments described in Section 4.07(a) of Schedule
    I to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement, and shall promptly deliver to
    Parent copies of each such amended Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.  The
    disclosure included in the form of amended Forms 10-Q that will be filed
    with the SEC pertaining to the matters described in Section 4.07(a) of
    Schedule I to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement shall not differ in any
    respect from the information included in Section 4.07(a) of Schedule I to
    Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement without the prior written consent of
    Parent.  The Company shall not file with the SEC any amendment to any
    Company Report without the prior written consent of Parent unless such
    amendment is permitted by this Section 6.13.

         SECTION 6.14.  CONSENT OF ACCOUNTANTS; WORK PAPERS.  (a)  The Company
    shall use its best efforts to cause Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to consent to
    the use in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement of their
    report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company appearing in
    the Company 1996 10-K; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be
    required under this Section 6.14(a) to pay any amounts claimed by Coopers &
    Lybrand L.L.P. which, in the Company's good faith exercise of its
    reasonable judgment, are subject to valid claims of set-off or other
    defenses or counterclaims.

         (b)  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause Coopers & Lybrand
    L.L.P. to make available to Arthur Andersen LLP copies of all materials in
    Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.'s possession relating to (i) Coopers & Lybrand
    L.L.P.'s audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
    June 30, 1997, including all work papers, computer files and other
    materials prepared by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. in connection with such
    audit, and (ii) Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.'s analysis as to whether any
    condition exists with respect to the Company that will preclude "pooling of
    interests" accounting treatment for the Merger under applicable United
    States accounting rules, including all computer files and other material
    prepared by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. in connection with such analysis;
    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required under this
    Section 6.14(b) to pay any amounts claimed by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
    which, in the Company's good faith exercise of its reasonable judgment, are
    subject to valid claims of set-off or other defenses or counterclaims."

         (j)  Section 7.04 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows: 


                                          4
<PAGE>

         "SECTION 7.04.  DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' INDEMNIFICATION.  (a)  The
    articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall
    contain the provisions with respect to indemnification that are set forth,
    as of the date of this Agreement, in the articles of incorporation and
    bylaws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or
    otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any
    manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who
    at or at any time prior to the Effective Time were directors or officers of
    the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Surviving Corporation may amend or
    otherwise modify the provisions with respect to indemnification that are
    set forth in its articles of incorporation and bylaws to exclude any right
    to indemnification thereunder with respect to any civil or criminal
    penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement or other similar personal
    liabilities, or any injunctions or consent decrees, incurred, imposed or
    entered into in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or
    investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
    brought or assessed by any Governmental Entity or any settlement thereof
    ("EXCLUDED ITEMS"). 

         (b)  From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving
    Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former
    director and officer of the Company (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"), against
    (i) any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and (ii)
    judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities, but excluding
    from this clause (ii) Excluded Items (collectively, "COSTS"), incurred in
    connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation,
    whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or
    pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective
    Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time,
    to the extent permitted under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
    the Company or Parent (each as in effect on the Effective Date).

         (c)  If any Indemnified Party shall seek indemnification pursuant to
    this Section 7.04, such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to
    Parent and the Surviving Corporation, stating the amount of the Costs, if
    known, and method of computation thereof.  The obligations and liabilities
    of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.04 with
    respect to Costs arising from any claims, actions, suits, proceedings or
    investigations of any third party, including any Governmental Entity, which
    are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.04
    ("THIRD PARTY CLAIMS") shall be governed by and contingent upon the
    following additional terms and conditions:  if an Indemnified Party shall
    receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give
    Parent and the Surviving Corporation notice of such Third Party Claim
    within 10 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice;
    PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to provide such notice shall not
    release Parent and the Surviving Corporation from any of its obligations
    under this Section 7.04 except to the extent Parent and the Surviving
    Corporation are materially prejudiced by such failure.  Upon receipt of
    notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in this Section 7.04(c), 


                                          5
<PAGE>

    Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to assume and
    control the defense of such Third Party Claim at their expense and through
    counsel of their choice if they give notice of their intention to do so to
    the Indemnified Party within 30 days of the receipt of such notice from the
    Indemnified Party.  In the event that any Indemnified Party shall seek
    indemnification as provided herein, the Indemnified Party shall make
    available to Parent and the Surviving Corporation, at Parent's and the
    Surviving Corporation's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records,
    materials and information in the Indemnified Party's possession or under
    the Indemnified Party's control relating thereto as is reasonably required
    by Parent and the Surviving Corporation;

         (d)  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 7.04 to the
    contrary, (i) if there exists a conflict of interest that would make it
    inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party
    and Parent and the Surviving Corporation in connection with any Third Party
    Claim (other than an Excluded Item), then the Indemnified Party shall be
    entitled to retain its own counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to
    Parent and the Surviving Corporation at the expense of Parent and the
    Surviving Corporation, (ii) if there exists or is reasonably likely to
    exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the
    judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both
    the Indemnified Party and Parent and the Surviving Corporation in
    connection with any Excluded Item, then the Indemnified Party shall be
    entitled to retain its own counsel at its own expense, and (iii) if there
    exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would
    make it inappropriate in the judgment of the counsel selected by Parent to
    defend an Excluded Item for the same counsel to represent both the
    Indemnified Party and Parent and the Surviving Corporation in connection
    with such Excluded Item, then the Indemnified Party shall retain its own
    counsel at its own expense."

         (k)  Section 9.01(b) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:

         "(b) by either Parent or the Company, if the Effective Time shall not
    have occurred on or before November 30, 1997; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
    the event that the Effective Time has not occurred by such time (i) due to
    the failure to satisfy the condition specified in Section 8.01(b), and as
    of such time (A) the condition specified in Section 8.01(a) shall have been
    satisfied, (B) neither the Company Stockholders' Meeting nor, if
    applicable, the Parent Stockholders' Meeting, shall have been held, and

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. and ATLANTA, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ --
RCA announced today that they have amended the terms of their merger 
agreement. The principal effect of the amendment is to change the number of 
shares of Sun common stock that will be issued for each share of RCA common 
stock from 0.68265 to 0.520. The boards of directors of Sun and of RCA have 
each approved the merger agreement amendment.

RCA has filed a Form 8-K indicating its intention to revise and restate its
fiscal 1997 financial statements for the quarters ended Sept. 30, 1996, Dec. 31,
1996 and March 31, 1997. The aggregate effect of these adjustments on pretax
income for these three quarters is expected to be approximately $13.5 million.
The Form 8-K also announces the resignation of RCA's independent auditors. Both
companies expect new auditors to be appointed promptly to ensure consummation of
the merger on a timely basis.

Sun originally entered into separate merger agreements with RCA and Contour
Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap: CTMI) on Feb. 17, 1997. RCA also owns
approximately 65 percent of the outstanding shares of Contour. There has been no
change in the financial terms of the Contour merger agreement, which provides
for the payment of cash and/or stock consideration with a value of $8.50 for
each share of Contour common stock. Sun's merger agreement with Contour has been
amended primarily to match the RCA amendment in extending the date after which
either party may freely terminate the agreement from Sept. 30, 1997 to Nov. 30,
1997 (or, under certain circumstances, to Dec. 31, 1997). The parties now
contemplate closing both transactions in the fourth quarter of 1997. The
transactions are expected to be accretive to Sun's earnings in 1998.

Closing of the transactions is subject to the satisfaction of customary
conditions. The RCA acquisition is intended to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests. The Contour acquisition is intended to be accounted for as a
purchase.

Headquartered in Albuquerque, N.M., Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. is a diversified
international long-term care provider. Sun companies operate


<PAGE>

long-term care
facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain, and manage
pharmacies that serve the nursing home industry. Sun subsidiaries also provide
therapy services in the United States, fulfill the medical supply needs of
nursing homes, and offer a comprehensive array of ancillary services for the
healthcare industry.

Atlanta, Ga.-based RCA operates approximately 120 long-term care, independent
and assisted living facilities located primarily in the southeastern United
States. Contour Medical is a national provider of medical supplies for the
long-term care industry.

Except for historical information, all other matters in this press release are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but
not limited to those detailed from time to time in Sun's SEC filings, including
Sun's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 1996 and its
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
