ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     Effective May 18, 1999, subsidiaries of NewCare Health Corporation (the
"Company") transferred all of their interests in four nursing homes and one
assisted living facility to affiliates of Nationwide Health Properties
("NHP").  NHP held mortgages on each of these nursing homes which were unable
to generate sufficient cash flow to make the required payments on their
respective mortgage obligations totaling $21.5 million.  The four nursing
homes transferred are the Central Tampa Nursing Home, Tampa, Florida; Dania
Nursing Home, Dania, Florida; Oak Manor Nursing Home, Largo, Florida; and the
Windward Nursing Center, Flowery Beach, Georgia.  The assisted living facility
is the Oak Manor Villas in Largo, Florida.

     The transfers were made in exchange for the release of the $21.5 million
loan mortgaged by the properties.  The Company's related subsidiaries are
still liable for certain obligations and debts related to these facilities
incurred prior to the transfer.

     The Company and Chris Brogdon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, have provided guarantees of the representations, warranties and
other obligations of the subsidiaries which transferred the properties.
