                                   Background

                  A Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 1997, was entered
into by and among The Multicare Companies, Inc. and certain of its Subsidiaries
as Borrowers, Mellon Bank, N.A. as Issuer of Letters of Credit and
Administrative Agent, Citicorp USA, Inc. as Syndication Agent, First Union
National Bank as Documentation Agent, NationsBank, N.A. as Syndication Agent,
and the Lenders and other Agents identified therein and was amended pursuant to
that certain Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of March 5, 1998 and was further
amended pursuant to that certain Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of August 28,
1998. The Credit Agreement, as so amended, is referred to herein as the "Current
Credit Agreement". The Current Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time is herein referred to as
the "Credit Agreement" or the "Agreement". Terms are used in this Amendment No.
3 as defined in the Current Credit Agreement unless otherwise specified.

                  The Borrowers have requested that the Adjusted Total Debt/Cash
Flow Ratio, the Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio and the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio set forth in the Current Credit Agreement be modified for a
limited period and that the maximum amount of permitted rental payments in the
Current Credit Agreement be increased. The Lenders are willing to make such
changes to the Current Credit Agreement subject to the condition that the
Applicable Margin on LIBO Rate Loans be increased and subject to such other
terms and conditions as are more fully set forth below.

                  NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, hereby agree as follows.



                                    Agreement

                                       1





             1. Amendments to Current Credit Agreement on Amendment No. 3
Effective Date. The Current Credit Agreement is amended in each of the following
respects, as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (as defined in Section 3
below).

                  1.1 Timing of Prepayments in Connection with Net Proceeds of
Dispositions. In order to provide for the prepayment of Loans with asset sale
proceeds promptly after the asset sale (rather than 364 days thereafter) and
eliminate the existing right to use proceeds of a disposition to effect an
acquisition, the first four sentences of paragraph (ii) of Section 1.5(b) are
deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

                  Promptly (but in no event more than ten Business Days) after
                  the date of any sale, assignment, transfer or other
                  disposition by any Borrower of any assets (other than pursuant
                  to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (e) of Section 8.5 below)
                  whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including a
                  disposition of equity, collectively, a "disposition"),
                  Multicare, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall prepay the Loans
                  by an amount equal to the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of
                  such disposition. No more than five (5) Business Days before
                  any proposed disposition, Multicare, on behalf of the
                  applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent in
                  writing (1) that such disposition is anticipated, (2) the
                  anticipated date of such disposition, (3) the anticipated date
                  of prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this paragraph (ii) and
                  (4) the amount of Net Cash Proceeds anticipated in connection
                  therewith. At least five (5) Business Days before the actual
                  prepayment, Multicare, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall
                  either confirm or correct the information provided in such
                  notice. Such confirmation or correction shall be deemed to be
                  an irrevocable notice of prepayment.

                  1.2 Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio. The covenant set
forth in Section 7.1(c) of the Current Credit Agreement is amended to provide
that, for the period commencing 10/1/98 and ending on 12/30/99, the Adjusted
Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be no greater than 7.25 to 1. At all other
times, the maximum permitted Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be as set
forth in the Current Credit Agreement.

                  1.3 Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio. The covenant set
forth in Section 7.1(d) of the Current Credit Agreement is amended to provide
that, for the period commencing 10/1/98 and ending on 12/30/99, the Adjusted
Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be no greater than 5.25 to 1. At all other
times, the maximum permitted Adjusted Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio shall be as
set forth in the Current Credit Agreement.

                  1.4 Delivery of Status Letters. A new paragraph (l) shall be
added to Section 6.1 of the Current Credit Agreement immediately following
paragraph (k) thereof as follows:

                  On each of June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1999, Multicare, on
                  behalf of the Borrowers, shall deliver to the Administrative
                  Agent and each Lender a letter advising them of its plans and
                  the status of the implementation of those plans to cause an
                  event to occur or condition to exist which would result in
                  compliance with the required December 31, 1999 Adjusted Total
                  Debt/Cash Flow Ratio and required December 31, 1999 Adjusted
                  Senior Debt/Cash Flow Ratio.

                                       2



                  1.5 Adjustment to Permitted Rental Expense. In order to allow
the Borrowers to incur additional rental expense, clause (c) of Section 8.7 of
the Current Credit Agreement (Leases) is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

                                    (c) Other leases which are not Capitalized
                  Leased or Synthetic Leases but only to the extent that the
                  aggregate Rental Expense of the Surety and the Borrowers with
                  respect to all such other leases does not exceed (i) during
                  the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, $25,000,000.00 and
                  (ii) during each fiscal year thereafter, an amount equal to
                  the amount permitted in the preceding year plus an additional
                  $2,000,000.00 (e.g., $27,000,000.00 in the fiscal year ending
                  September 30, 2000).

                  1.6 Applicable Margin Definition. In order to increase the
Applicable Margin on LIBO Rate Loans and add two additional pricing tiers, the
definition of Applicable Margin is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                                    "Applicable Margin" means a marginal rate of
                  interest which is added to the LIBO Rate or Prime Rate, as the
                  case may be, to determine the effective rate of interest on
                  Loans and other payments as specified in the Loan Documents.
                  Until the Officer's Compliance Certificate for the fiscal
                  quarter ending March 31, 1999 is delivered to the
                  Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to Section 6.1
                  above, the Applicable Margin (a) for LIBO Rate Loans shall be
                  the following: 3.0% for RC Loans or Tranche A Term Loans;
                  3.25% for Tranche B Term Loans; and 3.5% for Tranche C Term
                  Loans, and (b) for Prime Rate Loans shall be the following:
                  .75% for RC Loans and Tranche A Term Loans; 1.0% for Tranche B
                  Term Loans; and 1.25% for Tranche C Term Loans. Thereafter,
                  the Applicable Margin shall be determined in the following
                  manner:

                                    (a) For any RC Loans or Tranche A Term
                  Loans, the Applicable Margin shall be the percentage amount
                  set forth below under the caption "Applicable Margin for RC
                  Loans and Tranche A Term Loans" opposite the relevant Adjusted
                  Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio:

                       Adjusted Total          Applicable Margin for RC Loans
                       Debt/Cash Flow Ratio    and Tranche A Term Loans

                                    (b) For any Tranche B Term Loan, the
                  Applicable Margin at all times after the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date shall be 1.0% for Prime Rate Loans and 3.25%
                  for LIBO Rate Loans.

                                    (c) For any Tranche C Term Loan, the
                  Applicable Margin at all times after the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date shall be 1.25% for Prime Rate Loans and 3.5%
                  for LIBO Rate Loans.

                                    (d) The Applicable Margin for Swing Loans at
                  all times shall be zero.

                  The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted five Business Days
                  after receipt of the annual or quarterly Officer's Compliance
                  Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and shall be
                  based on the Adjusted Total Debt/Cash Flow Ratio set forth
                  therein. At any time that such annual or quarterly Officer's
                  Compliance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to
                  said Section 6.1 and is not so delivered, then the Applicable
                  Margin shall be the highest rate specified for the subject
                  Loan until the Officer's Compliance Certificate is so
                  delivered.

                  1.7 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Definition. In order to
provide greater flexibility to the Borrowers for the period commencing on
October 1, 1998 and ending December 30, 1999, the definition of "Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio" in Section 11.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is amended by
adding the following two sentences at the end thereof:

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for calculations of the Fixed
                  Charge Coverage Ratio with respect to the period commencing
                  October 1, 1998 and ending December 30, 1999, there shall not
                  be added to the denominator "principal payments scheduled or
                  required to be made on Total Funded Indebtedness for the four
                  fiscal quarters ending on, or most recently prior to, such
                  date of determination". For calculations made with respect to
                  any period ending after December 30, 1999, the calculation
                  shall be made without regard to the adjustment set forth in
                  the preceding sentence.

                                       4




                  1.8 New Definition of Amendment No. 3 Effective Date. Section
11.1 of the Current Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following new
definition in its correct alphabetical location:

                                    "Amendment No. 3 Effective Date" means the
                  date that Amendment No. 3 to this Agreement becomes effective
                  as more particularly set forth in said Amendment No. 3 hereto.

                  1.9 Amendment to Assignment Provisions. In order to allow
assignments by Lenders of smaller amounts, Section 12.9(c) of the Current Credit
Agreement is amended by replacing the phrase "Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00)" in each of clauses (iii) and (iv) thereof with the phrase
"Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)".

             2. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Lenders,
the Issuer and the Agents to agree to amend the Current Credit Agreement, each
of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, makes the following representations and
warranties, which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment No.
3.

                  notice to, or filing with any governmental entity or any other
                  third party, does not violate the terms of any agreement or
                  instrument binding on any Borrower (including, without
                  limitation, the constituent documents of such Borrower) or
                  violate any Law applicable to such Borrower. On and after the
                  Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the Current Credit Agreement
                  as amended by the amendments hereunder to be effective on the
                  Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, shall be the legal, valid and
                  binding obligation of each Borrower enforceable against such
                  Borrower in accordance with its terms.

                                    (b) No Default or Event of Default has
                  occurred and is continuing, after giving effect to the
                  amendments contained herein.

                                    (c) Each of the representations and

                  effect to the amendments and transactions contemplated hereby
                  as though each such representation and warranty were made at
                  and as of the date hereof and as of the Amendment No. 3
                  Effective Date.

             3. Amendment No. 3 Effective Date; Waiver. The amendments set forth
