                         HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. REPORTS
                             2000 OPERATING RESULTS

Toledo, Ohio, February 1, 2001........HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. (NYSE/HCN) today
announced operating results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2000. The company's strategies to focus on stabilization of the assisted living
portfolio and manage liquidity are successfully being implemented.

"Our operating results for the quarter are right on target as a result of our
asset disposition program, which is on track to complete $200 million in sales
or refinancings," commented George L. Chapman, chairman and chief executive
officer. "Although the divestiture program has created a modest reduction in
asset size and FFO results, this strategy has effectively preserved the
company's fundamental credit qualities. Our company's low leverage of 39 percent
debt to total capitalization and EBITDA coverage at 3.5 times strongly support
the interest and dividend payments. We intend to maintain the dividend at its
current level, with increases to resume once capital becomes available at costs
that permit accretive investment activity."

Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating
performance for the real estate investment trust industry, totaled $17.0
million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the latest three months, compared with
$19.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the same period in 1999. Included
in FFO and net income is a previously disclosed $2 million or $0.07 per diluted
share charge for the non-cash, non-recurring write-off of an equity investment
in Summerville. Excluding the charge, FFO per diluted share for the three months
ended December 31, 2000 would have been $0.66. Revenues were mostly unchanged as
a result of increased rental income from newly converted construction properties
offsetting the decline in the investment base as a result of asset dispositions.

Net income available to common shareholders was reduced by about 22 percent
during the quarter primarily as a result of an increase in the company's
provision for depreciation, an increase in interest expense and the loss on the
Summerville investment. The provision for depreciation in the fourth quarter
totaled $6.1 million compared with $5.3 million for the same period in 1999. The
increased provision for depreciation primarily was the result of additional
investments in properties owned directly by the company. Interest expense for
the latest three months was $8.5 million compared with $8.2 million for the same
period in 1999. The company capitalizes certain interest costs associated with
funds used to finance the construction of properties owned directly by the
company. The company's interest expense is reduced by the amount

for the 2000 fourth quarter totaled $302,000 compared with $1.5 million for the
same period in 1999.

The decline in 2000 net income available to common shareholders was primarily
related to an increase in the provision for depreciation, increases in interest
expense, and the loss on investment previously indicated. For the year ended
2000, the provision for depreciation totaled $22.7 million compared with $17.9
million for the same period in 1999. The increased provision for depreciation
was the result of additional investments in properties owned directly by the
company. During 2000, interest expense totaled $34.6 million compared with $26.9
million for the same period in the prior year, with capitalized interest
totaling $3.1 million compared with $8.6 million for the same period in 1999.

ASSET DISPOSITIONS EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING DEBT. In 2000, the company completed
asset dispositions totaling $173 million to preserve its low leverage and
liquidity in a tight capital market. The proceeds derived from the sales and
refinancings were used to meet debt maturities, satisfy unfunded commitment
obligations, and pay down the company's line of credit arrangements. The asset
dispositions contributed to a 9 percent reduction in total assets, which at
December 31, 2000, totaled $1.16 billion.

The company had a total outstanding debt balance of $440 million at year-end
2000, down 18 percent from 1999, and shareholders' equity of $699 million, which
represents a debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.39 to 1.0. For the year
ended December 31, 2000, the company's coverage ratio of EBITDA to interest was
3.5 to 1.0.

LEASE UP STATISTICS FOR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES. The company's stabilized
assisted living portfolio increased significantly in 2000. Forty-four facilities
with an investment balance of $196 million stabilized during the year 2000. As
of December 31, 2000, 41 assisted living facilities remained in fill-up.
Approximately 70 percent of these facilities were more than 50 percent occupied.
The company anticipates that approximately 20 facilities with an investment
balance of approximately $123 million will stabilize in the first two quarters
of 2001, increasing stabilized properties to approximately 80 percent of the
portfolio.

UPDATE ON BALANCED CARE. Balanced Care Corporation recently announced the
initiation of a restructuring plan. The company owns eight assisted living
facilities and one skilled nursing facility that are leased to Balanced Care and
represent approximately 5 percent of the company's portfolio. These facilities
are located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Tennessee. Five of the
facilities are stabilized properties with an average occupancy of approximately
93 percent. Three other properties are in fill-up with an average occupancy of
approximately 43 percent. One facility is under construction and is expected to
open in the first quarter of 2001. Overall, the eight buildings that are open
have occupancy of approximately 70 percent. The company holds letters of credit
of approximately $2.2 million as security for Balanced Care's obligations.

OUTLOOK FOR 2001. The company's fourth quarter 2000 FFO was $0.66 per diluted
share excluding the loss on investment. In order to provide FFO estimates for
2001, the company believes it appropriate to assume no new investment activity
beyond completion of $15 to $20 million of existing operator funding
commitments, additional asset dispositions of approximately $60 million,
increased borrowing costs under its extended line of credit and no further
reductions in interest rates. These assumptions produce a base case FFO of $0.64
to $0.65 per diluted share per quarter. As market conditions change, the company
will be in a position in subsequent quarterly earnings releases and conference
calls to update and adjust FFO estimates.
