Units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") in Meridian Healthcare
Growth and Income Fund Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), the subject company, at a purchase price equal to $20.00 per

and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated March 7,
2005 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of
which are attached hereto as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively. As noted
above, the Offer price would be subject to reduction for distributions made or
declared prior to the Expiration Date. Any distributions made or declared after
the Expiration Date, by the terms of the Offer and as set forth in the Letter of
Transmittal, would be assigned by tendering Unit holders to the Purchasers. C.E.
Patterson is named as a "bidder" herein because he is deemed to control the
Purchasers, but is not otherwise participating in the offer described in this
schedule.

         In the event of a price reduction resulting from a Partnership
distribution declared or made after the Offer Date and before the Expiration
Date, as described above, the Purchasers will file an amendment to this Schedule
TO reflecting such reduction and will, to the extent necessary, extend the
Expiration Date to assure there is a minimum ten business day period following
the amendment before the Offer expires.

         Tender of Units will include the tender of any and all securities into
which the Units may be converted and any securities distributed with respect to
the Units from and after the Offer Date. As of the date hereof, a total of 9,970
Units have been tendered by securities holders and not withdrawn. No other Units
have been tendered to date.

1,540,000 Units as of December 31, 2003, according to its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ending December 31, 2003. The Purchasers and their affiliates
currently beneficially own a total of 34,198 Units, or approximately 2.2% of the
outstanding Units. The 308,000 Units subject to the Offer constitute 20% of the
outstanding Units. Consummation of the Offer, if all Units sought are tendered,
would require payment by the Purchasers of up to $6,160,000 in aggregate
purchase price, which the Purchasers intend to fund out of their current working
capital.
