1996, relating to the consolidated  balance sheets of First American Health Care
of Georgia,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  as of December  31, 1995 and 1994,  and the
related  consolidated  statements  of earnings,  stockholders'  deficit and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995,
which report appears in the Form 8-K/A of Integrated Health Services, Inc. dated
October 17, 1996.

Our report contains an explanatory  paragraph that states that the Company filed
a  petition  for  bankruptcy  under  Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code in
February 1996 and its plan of reorganization was confirmed in October 1996. Such
plan included the merger of the Company with Integrated  Health Services,  Inc.,
which  occurred on October 17, 1996,  the  settlement  of  Department of Justice
fines in the amount of $20  million,  and the  settlement  with the Health  Care
Financing  Administration (HCFA) of Medicare reimbursement claims which had been
disputed claims under the bankruptcy proceedings.  The settlement agreement with
HCFA provides for a fixed payment of $95 million and  contingent  payments of up
to $140 million which, if certain future  contingencies are met, will be payable
from 2000 through  2004.  The Company has recorded an  obligation  for the fixed
payment and an estimate of $45 million for certain of the  contingent  payments.
The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be determined.
