                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
                     --------------------------------------

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
ARV Assisted Living, Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of ARV Assisted
Living, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These condensed consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of ARV Assisted Living, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated June 20, 1997, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
