ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a net income
of $28,000, or less than $0.01 per share, compared to a net income of
$535,000, or $0.05 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The
results for the June 1997 quarter were impacted by an after-tax gain of
$509,000 from the refinancing and retirement of debt, while the results for
the June 1996 quarter were similarly impacted by an after-tax gain of $498,000
from the refinancing of debt.

     Operating revenue totaled just under $7.3 million for the June 1997
quarter, a slight decline from the $7.3 million reported in the June 1996
quarter.  Operating expenses for the current period were $8.3 million versus
$7.1 million in 1996.  As a result, the Company experienced a loss from
operations of $996,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  For the
three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company reported an operating income of
$256,000.  Included in the results for the current period were expenses
related to the settlement of liabilities due previous shareholders.  Excluding
the settlement, the operating loss for the June 1997 quarter was $328,000.

     Of the total operating expenses, excluding shareholder settlements, for
the June 1997 quarter, approximately $5.6 million, or 74% of the total, was
incurred on patient services expenses.  For the June 1996 quarter, patient
services expenses were $5.4 million and accounted for 76% of total operating
expenses.  Lease expenses totaled $137,000  in the current year versus
$164,000 last year, and comprised roughly 2% of total expenses in both
periods.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $254,000 in the June 1997
quarter, or 3% of the total, and $300,000 in the June 1996 quarter, or 4% of
total expenses.

     Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 totaled $637,000
versus $413,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1996, with the increase
principally the result of a higher average level of debt outstanding.  General
and administrative expense was $993,000 in the current period and $851,000 in
1996.  The expense in the current period was impacted by increased accruals
totalling $225,000 covering the areas of property taxes, personnel health
insurance, and professional fees, portions of which were related to the prior
quarter.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

     The Company experienced a net loss of $9,000, less than $0.01 per share,
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to a net income of $618,000,
or $0.06 per share, reported for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Included
in the current year's results was a $78,000 after-tax loss from a discontinued
business segment and an after-tax gain of $799,000 from the refinancing and
retirement of debt.  The results for 1996 included an after-tax loss of
$167,000 from a discontinued business segment and after-tax gain of $498,000
from the refinancing of debt.  The operating loss for the current period was
$1.2 million compared to an operating income of $327,000 in 1996.

     Total operating revenues for the first six months of 1997 were $14.1
million versus $14.9 million in the same period in 1996.  The decline in
operating revenues was the result of a drop in the average occupancy level at
the nursing home facilities from approximately 89% for the first six months of
1996 to approximately 87% for the first six months of 1997, and a slight
decrease in the average per diem rates.  The lower occupancy levels and per
diem rates experienced in 1997 were partially offset by an improvement in the
payor mix at the nursing facilities as follows:

                                          100%        100%

     Total operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 were $15.3
million compared to $14.5 million 1996.  Patient services expenses were $10.7
million in the current year versus $11.1 million last year, with the decline
resulting from lower occupancy levels.  Lease expenses totalled $305,000 in
1997 and $353,000 in 1996.  Depreciation and amortization expense was $499,000
for the first six months of 1997 and $555,000 in 1996.  Interest expense was
$998,000 this year and $884,000 last year, principally the result of a higher
average level of debt outstanding.

     General and administrative costs increased to $2.2 million from $1.7
million, and was related mainly to out of period accrual adjustments.  The
results for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were also impacted by two
shareholder settlements totalling $669,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had positive working capital of $130,000
versus a negative working capital position of $12.8 million at March 31, 1997
and December 31, 1996.  During the June 1997 quarter, the Company completed a
debt refinancing on four of its facilities.  This transaction, which totaled
$21.5 million, added $19.65 million to long-term debt and left $1.85 million
available for facility renovations at the Company's discretion over the next
two years.  Approximately $4.5 million net cash was generated, of which a
majority was used to make the final payment in settlement of the Spectrum
note.

     In addition, the Company implemented a new $10 million line of credit,
with the available amount based on the balance of specific accounts
receivable.   At June 30, 1997, the available amount was approximately $2
million, of which $1 million was drawn.  The term of the agreement is for
three years with an annual one year roll over feature.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash provided from operating
activities totaled $218,000 versus $877,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The principal reason for the decline was the reduction in net income. 
In addition, there was an increase in accounts receivable, but this was offset
by an increase in accounts payable.

     Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $5.3 million for the
first six months of 1997 compared to $166,000 for the first six months of
1996.  A majority of the increase resulted from an increase in expenditures
for property and equipment.  Increases in various receivables were partially
offset by the receipt of funds related to a note receivable.

     Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1997 totaled $2.2 million versus cash used in financing activities of $526,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Proceeds from additional debt
financing increased $21.9 million from the year earlier, while the repayment
of long term
                               -10-
<PAGE>
debt increased $20.1 million from 1996.  In addition, the Company drew down $1
million under its revolving credit line.

     Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 was $385,000 versus $387,000
at June 30, 1996.  The Company believes that its existing cash and cash from
operations will be sufficient to fund its continued operations.

     Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company commenced a private
placement of common stock with a $5 million minimum and a $10 million maximum. 
If the offering is successfully completed, of which there is no assurance, the
Company plans to utilize these funds to acquire additional facilities and
enhance its working capital position.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     Subsequent to the close of the quarter, the Company announced the
purchase of a rehabilitation hospital in Gardner, Kansas on August 1.  In
addition, the Company reached an agreement to purchase a nursing facility in
Florida.  These transactions are in line with the Company's strategy of
opportunistic growth.

     To further enhance the already experienced  management team, the Company
has recently announced the addition of four highly qualified individuals. 
Frank Camma, formerly of NatWest Markets, joined the Company in late March as
Vice President-Strategic Planning and has more than five years experience in
the healthcare industry.  Jim Sanregret, a 24 year veteran with Delta Air
Lines and its Treasurer, joined the Company in June as Chief Financial
Officer.  In July, the Company added Tim Beaulieu, formerly the Chief
Operating Officer of Life Care Corporation for the past four years, as
Executive Vice President of Nursing Home Operations.  Mr. Beaulieu was at Life
Care a total of 14 years.  Late in July, the Company announced that Art
Doloresco will be joining the firm as President of NewCare Hospital
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary.  He is a twenty year veteran of the
healthcare industry, most recently serving as President of the Kentucky
Division of Columbia/HCA.  In this capacity, Mr. Doloresco was responsible for
the operations at 13 hospitals.

IMPACT OF PENDING FEDERAL HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION

     Management is uncertain what the financial impact will be of the pending
federal health care reform package since the legislation has not been
finalized.  However, based on information which has been released to the
public thus far, management does not believe that there will be cuts in
reimbursements paid to nursing homes.

     Legislative and regulatory action at the state and federal level, has
resulted in continuing changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement
programs.  The changes have limited payment increases under these programs. 
Also, the timing of payments made under Medicare and Medicaid programs are
subject to regulatory action and governmental budgetary constraints. Within
the statutory framework of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, there are
substantial areas subject to administrative rulings and interpretations which
may further affect payments made under these programs.  Further, the federal
and state governments may reduce the funds available under these programs in
the future or require more stringent utilization and quality review of health
care facilities.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  None.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

     During June 1997, the Company's former chief financial officer exercised
a stock option and purchased 10,000 shares of common stock.  The shares of the
Company's common stock which were issued pursuant to this transaction were
issued in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The person to whom such securities were
issued in exchange for cash made an informed investment decision and had
access to material information regarding the Company.  The Company believes
that such person had knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters such that he was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
acquisition of the Company's common stock in connection with this transaction. 
The certificate representing such common shares bears an appropriate legend
restricting the transfer of such securities, except in accordance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and stop transfer instructions have been
provided to the Company's transfer agent in accordance therewith.
