ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 27, 1997, Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. ("Sun") entered into an
amendment (the "Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization, dated as of February 17, 1997 (the "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 ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger
Agreement Merger Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and into RCA.
The Amendment changes the exchange ratio provided for in the Merger
Agreement such that RCA shareholders will now receive 0.68265 shares
instead of 0.6625 shares of Sun common stock for each share of RCA common
stock owned by them on the effective date of the Merger. The Amendment also
(i) eliminated a provision in the RCA Merger Agreement which granted to
Christopher F. Brogdon, Connie Brogdon, Edward E. Lane, Darrell C. Tucker and
Winter Haven Homes, Inc. an option to purchase the shares of In-House Rehab
Corporation (formerly known as Perennial Development Corporation)
(``In-House'') owned by RCA at a negotiated price not to exceed the book
value thereof; (ii) prohibits Sun from selling the shares of In-House owned
by RCA, subject to certain exceptions, or acquiring additional shares of
capital stock of In-House, for a period of 24 months following the effective
time of the Merger and requires Sun to vote such shares for the election of
director candidates with In-House's management; and (iii) added to the RCA
Merger Agreement additional representations and warranties and covenants
related to the accounts receivable and accounts payable of RCA.
Following the execution of the Amendment, Sun and RCA filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), on a confidential basis, a
preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Merger, and Sun and Contour
Medical, Inc. ("Contour") filed with the SEC, on a confidential basis, a
preliminary information statement with respect to the proposed merger of
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun with and into Contour.
The Merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of both companies
and will be considered at separate meetings now anticipated to occur in the
third quarter of 1997. The Merger remains subject to other customary
conditions. The Merger will be effective promptly following shareholder
approval, assuming satisfaction of the other conditions to the Merger.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

SUN HEALTHCARE GROUP AND RETIREMENT CARE ASSOCIATES AMEND
MERGER AGREEMENT
Albuquerque, N.M., May 29, 1997 -- Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (NYSE:SHG) and
Retirement Care Associates, Inc. (NYSE:RCA) announced today that they have
amended the terms of their merger agreement. The amendment changes the number
of shares of Sun common stock that will be issued for each share of RCA common
stock from 0.6625 to 0.68265, to reflect an agreement for Sun to retain RCA's
ownership interest in In-House Rehab Corporation (OTC:IHRB).
Sun originally entered into merger agreements with RCA and Contour Medical,
Inc. (Nasdaq Small Cap:CTMI) on February 17, 1997, that provided for Sun to
acquire RCA and Contour, a national provider of medical supplies for the long-
term care industry. RCA owns approximately 65 percent of the outstanding shares
of Contour. The amendment does not affect Sun's merger agreement with Contour.
The original RCA merger agreement called for Sun to sell RCA's ownership
interest in In-House Rehab, which constitutes approximately 3.5 million
shares, for RCA's basis in the stock. The amended agreemnt now calls for Sun
to issue approximately 350,000 additional shares of Sun common stock to RCA
shareholders, and to retain RCA's ownership interest in In-House Rehab.
The parties contemplate closing both transactions in the third quarter of
1997.
Headquartered in Albuquerque, N.M., Sun Healthcare Group, Inc., is a
diversified international long-term care provider. Sun companies operate long-
term care facilities and
<PAGE>
-2-
pharmacy services across the United States and in the United Kingdom. Sun
subsidiaries 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 120 long-term care, independent and
assisted living facilities located primarily in the southeastern United States.
Except for historical information, all other matters in this press release
are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties as detailed
from time to time in the company's SEC filings, including Sun's annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
