                         HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. REPORTS
                             2001 OPERATING RESULTS


Toledo, Ohio, February 4, 2002........HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. (NYSE/HCN) today
announced operating results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31,
2001. The company continues to meet financial and operational expectations.

"We are pleased not only with our fourth quarter financial results, but also
that we attained the company's goals for 2001," stated George Chapman, chairman
and chief executive officer. "We achieved equity REIT status, successfully
accessed the capital markets with both equity and debt offerings, and invested
the proceeds to surpass our new investment goal of $100-$125 million for the
second half of the year. The funds from operations ("FFO") from these new
investments and our anticipated investments in 2002 are expected to return our
dividend payout ratio to the mid-80 percent range by the end of 2002.
Furthermore, our portfolio seasoning is on track. We ended the year with 85
percent stabilized properties, no construction properties, and only four fill-up
properties below 50 percent occupancy."

As previously announced, the Board of Directors voted to declare a dividend for
the quarter ended December 31, 2001, of $0.585 per share. The dividend
represents the 123rd consecutive dividend payment. The dividend will be payable
February 20, 2002, to shareholders of record on January 31, 2002.

Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating
performance for the real estate investment trust industry, totaled $20.5
million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the latest three months, compared with
$19.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period in 2000. The
decrease in FFO per share was primarily attributable to the short-term dilutive
effects of the recent 3.45 million share common stock offering and the $175
million senior note issuance.

The company had a total outstanding debt balance of $491 million at December 31,
2001, up from $440 million in fourth quarter 2000, and shareholders' equity of

EBITDA to interest was 3.85 to 1.0.
