                        GROWTH IN THIRD QUARTER RESULTS;
                            DECLARES REGULAR DIVIDEND


Toledo, Ohio, October 15, 2002........HEALTH CARE REIT, INC. (NYSE/HCN) today
announced operating results for its third quarter of 2002. The company continues
to meet its financial and operational expectations.

"Once again we are pleased to report the progress we have made during the
quarter towards achieving several of our stated goals," commented George L.
Chapman, chief executive officer. "As previously stated, reducing the payout
ratio to the mid 80 percent level has been one of our priorities, and we
attained this goal due to the 11% increase in FFO over the third quarter of
2001. We also made gross investments of $105 million, completed our revolving
line of credit renewal and issued $150 million of senior notes. In addition, we
increased our master lease portfolio to 85 percent and obtained a positive
outlook from Moody's. Our new investments included three new operators. Given
the considerable acquisition opportunities that are presently available in the
market, we are raising our 2003 guidance to $2.82 to $2.87. We expect gross
investments of $250 to $300 million over the next two quarters with net
investments of $150 to $200 million."

The Board of Directors declared a dividend for the quarter ended September 30,
2002, of $0.585 per share. The dividend represents the 126th consecutive
dividend payment. The dividend will be payable November 20, 2002, to
stockholders of record on October 31, 2002.
