     Re:   Registration Statement for $400,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of
           2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035 and Related Guarantees and
           10,726,720 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  I have acted as general counsel to Manor Care, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), in connection with the registration for
resale of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2035 by the holders thereof (the "NOTES"), the guarantees of the Notes
(the "GUARANTEES") by the guarantors listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the
"GUARANTORS"), and 10,726,720 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "COMMON STOCK") issuable upon conversion of the Notes, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"), by the Company, pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-3 under the Act filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION") on October 18, 2005, as may be amended from time
to time (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"). The Notes and the Guarantees have been
issued under an Indenture dated as of August 1, 2005 (the "INDENTURE") among the
Company, the Guarantors and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as trustee (the
"TRUSTEE"). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements
of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed
herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement
or Prospectus, other than as to the enforceability of the Guarantees.

                  In my capacity as Vice President and General Counsel of the
Company, I am familiar with the proceedings taken by the Company and the
Guarantors in connection with the authorization of the Indenture, the Notes and
the Guarantees. In addition, I have examined such matters of fact and questions
of law as I have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter.

                  Various matters concerning the Notes and the Common Stock are
addressed in the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP of even date herewith, which
has been provided separately, and I express no opinion with respect to those
matters.

                  Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth
herein, it is my opinion that, as of the date hereof:


                  (1) The Guarantees have been duly authorized by all necessary
         corporate action of each of the Guarantors and constitute legally valid
         and binding obligations of each of the Guarantors, enforceable against
         each of the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.


                  The opinion rendered in paragraph 1 above relating to the
enforceability of the Guarantees is subject to the following exceptions,
limitations and qualifications: (a) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating
to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (b) the effect of general
principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance
or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and
fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
therefor may be brought; and (c) the unenforceability under certain
circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the
indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where
such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy.

                  To the extent the obligations of the Guarantors under the
Indenture and the Notes may be dependent upon such matters, I have assumed (a)
that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and
constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of, the Trustee, enforceable
against it in accordance with its terms, and (b) that the status of the
Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees as legally valid and binding obligations
of the respective parties thereto is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or
defaults under, agreements or instruments; (ii) violations of statutes, rules,
regulations or court or governmental orders; or (iii) failures to obtain
required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required
registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

                  I consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to my name contained under the
heading "Validity of Securities."




                                  Very truly yours,


                                  /s/  R. Jeffrey Bixler, Esq.
                                  Vice President and General Counsel
