The Schedule TO filed as of March 7, 2005, amended April 1, 2005 and April 21,
2005, by the above-named bidders is hereby amended as set forth below. Items not
amended remain unchanged, and capitalized terms are used as defined in the
original Schedule.

                                  TENDER OFFER

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer (the "Offer") by
MPF DEWAAY PREMIER FUND, LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON SPECIAL FUND 7, LLC; MPF
SPECIAL FUND 8, LLC; MP VALUE FUND 7, LLC; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD INSTITUTIONAL
FUND, LTD., L.P.; ACCELERATED HIGH YIELD INSTUTIONAL INVESTORS, LTD., L.P.; MP
FALCON FUND, LLC; MP FALCON GROWTH FUND 2, LLC; MPF INCOME FUND 22, LLC; MPF
DEWAAY FUND 2, LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON SPECIAL FUND 5, LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON
SPECIAL FUND 6, LLC; MACKENZIE PATTERSON SPECIAL FUND 6-A, LLC; MPF ACQUISITION
CO. 3, LLC; MORAGA GOLD, LLC; STEVEN GOLD; MPF-NY 2005, LLC; and MACKENZIE
PATTERSON FULLER, INC. (collectively the "Purchasers") to purchase up to 308,000
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
Unit, less the amount of any distributions declared or made with respect to the
Units between May 20, 2005 and June 16, 2005 or such other date to which this
Offer may be extended (the "Expiration Date"), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated March 7, 2005, as amended,
(the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal. As of the date
hereof, a total of 74,030 Units have been tendered by securities holders and not
withdrawn. No other Units have been tendered to date. This amendment increases
the Offer Price by $0.37 per Unit to offset the decrease in the Offer Price by
the $0.37 per Unit distribution declared by the General Partner, leaving the
Offer Price at $20 per Unit.

Section 6 of the Offer is amended by adding the following: Certain partnerships
are classified as "publicly traded partnerships" and, subject to certain
exceptions, are taxed as corporations for federal income tax purposes. A
partnership is a publicly traded partnership if the partnership interests are
traded on an established securities market or readily tradable on a secondary
market (or the substantial equivalent of a secondary market). The Units are not
traded on an established securities market. In the unlikely event that the
Partnership becomes a "publicly traded partnership" and is not excepted from
federal income tax, there would be several adverse tax consequences to the Unit
holders. For instance, the Partnership would be regarded as having transferred
all of its assets (subject to all of its liabilities) to a newly-formed
corporation in exchange for stock which would be deemed distributed to the Unit
holders in liquidation of their interests in the Partnership. In addition, if
the Partnership is deemed to be a "publicly traded partnership," then special
rules under Code Section 469 govern the treatment of losses and income of the
Fund.

Schedule 1 to the Offer is amended by adding the following: The Purchasers
intend, if the Offer is fully subscribed, to allocate the Units among themselves
as follows: MPF DeWaay Premier Fund, LLC, 17,500 Units; Mackenzie Patterson
Special Fund 7, LLC, 12,500 Units; MPF Special Fund 8, LLC, 7,500 Units; MP
Value Fund 7, LLC, 7,500 Units; Accelerated High Yield Institutional Fund, Ltd.,
L.P., 7,500 Units; Accelerated High Yield Institutional Investors, Ltd., L.P.,
10,000 Units; MP Falcon Fund, LLC, 10,000 Units; MP Falcon Growth Fund 2, LLC,
10,000 Units; MPF Income Fund 22, LLC, 17,500 Units; MPF DeWaay Fund 2, LLC,
17,500 Units; Mackenzie Patterson Special Fund 5, LLC, 15,000 Units; Mackenzie
Patterson Special Fund 6, LLC, 10,000 Units; Mackenzie Patterson Special Fund
6-A, LLC, 10,000 Units; MPF Acquisition Co. 3, LLC, 13,250 Units; Moraga Gold,
LLC, 50,000 Units; Steven Gold, 10,000 Units; MPF-NY 2005, LLC, 50,000 Units;
and Mackenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc., 32,250 Units. We will determine
modifications to this allocation based upon the number of Units tendered.
Priority is given to Purchasers which already hold Units, then to Purchasers
which raised capital first, then to the remaining Purchasers in equal shares.
Units will be allocated according to this priority until the maximum number of
Units listed above are allocated to Purchasers within a given priority, then
Units will be allocated similarly among Purchasers in the next level of
priority, until all Units are allocated; provided that MPF-NY 2005 will receive
at least 10% of all Units tendered.
