The following 8-K/A is being submitted to amend the 8-K filed by ARV Assisted
Living, Inc. on July 3, 1996. The acquisition of the 44% interest in the
American Retirement Villas Properties II partnership was reported under Item 5
in the previous 8-K.  The proper designation is under Item 2.

ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

AMERICAN RETIREMENT VILLAS PROPERTIES II ("ARVP II")

Consistent with its business plan strategy, ARV Assisted Living, Inc. (the
"Company")  has acquired approximately 44% of the limited partnership units in
ARVP II, which owns and/or leases ten assisted living facilities.  On May 16,
1996, the Company tendered for the limited partnership units in ARVP II, at a
net cash price per unit of $720 (the "Offer Price").  At the close of June 21,
1996, holders of approximately 15,300 units tendered their shares representing
approximately 44% of all units.  Therefore, when added to previously acquired
units, the Company owns approximately 15,410 units or approximately 44% of the 
limited partnership units.

ARVP II owns four assisted living facilities containing 458 units and is the
lessee of six assisted living facilities containing 481 units, all of which are
currently managed by the Company.  Each facility provides full meal, maid,
communal and assisted living services for senior citizens.

TERMS OF PURCHASE

The Company paid approximately $11.2 million with cash on hand to acquire these
limited partnership units inclusive of acquisition-related costs.

OPERATION

The occupancy rate at the ARVP II facilities at June 30, 1996 was approximately
93.0%.  The facilities range in age from ten to 22 years old.   The Company is
confident that its experience in assisted living facilities and its knowledge
of the senior housing market, including the operation of twenty eight other
assisted living facilities will enable it to achieve operating efficiencies
while maintaining or improving the Facilities' occupancy rates at full market
rent.

Willow Glen.

Covina Villa competes against the assisted living services provided by
Bridgecreek, San Dimas Retirement and Country View Retirement.  In addition,
two Company operated facilities present some competition in the area, Rancho
Park Villa, a 163-unit assisted living facility, and Villa Colima, a 94-unit
assisted living facility.

The Retirement Inn of Fremont competes directly with Carleton Plaza of Fremont
and St. Regis of Hayward for assisted living residents.

For the Retirement Inn of Fullerton, competition for the provision of senior

Acacia Villa, a 66 unit assisted living facility operated by the Company,
Sunnycrest Chalet, Gold Star, Fullerton Residential and Nohl Ranch.

Montego Heights Lodge competes with a number of facilities including Byron

Heights also competes with Valley View Lodge, a 125 unit assisted living
facility, which is owned by ARVP II and operated by the Company.

Valley View Lodge competes with Diablo Lodge, Villa San Ramon, Byron Park,
Kensington Place and Chateau I for assisted living residents.  Montego Height
Lodge of Walnut Creek, a facility owned by ARVP II, competes in the same
marketplace as Valley View Lodge.  In the near future, Valley View Lodge will
be presented with additional competition when Tiffany Court and ManorCare open
their facilities.

SPECIAL RISKS

The ARVP II facilities face a number of different competitors within their
marketplace and may compete with Company-run facilities owned or leased by ARVP
II or other facilities operated by the Company in their respective counties.
The penetration and the presence of competitors in close proximity to the ARVP
II facilities and entrance of new players may hinder efforts to increase rents
and raise occupancies.

In order to be a success in the marketplace, the Company will depend to a large
extent on increasing gross revenues,  holding or decreasing costs, and the
managerial abilities of the on-site team.  However,  given that the ARVP II
facilities are not newly constructed, unforseen circumstances could necessitate
major renovation or more refurbishing than originally planned.
