Kaplans.  In addition, under the agreement the Executive will be
entitled to long-term disability coverage, use of an automobile
and club membership, and benefits generally provided to executive
employees.

     The agreement also provides that, during the Employment Term
and thereafter, the Company will indemnify the Executive, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with any claim
against the Executive as a result of the Executive serving as an
officer or director of the Company or in any capacity at the
request of the Company in or with regard to any other entity,
employee benefit plan or enterprise.  Following the Executive's
termination of employment, the Company will continue to cover the
Executive under the Company's directors' and officers' insurance
for the period during which the Executive may be subject to
potential liability for any claim, action or proceeding (whether
civil or criminal) as a result of his service as an officer or
director of the Company at the highest level then maintained for
any then or former officer or director.

     Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
with the agreement (other than injunctive relief) shall be
settled exclusively by arbitration.  Each party shall bear its
own legal fees except that, in the event the Executive prevails
on any material issue, the arbitrator shall award the Executive
his legal fees, except for those attributable to frivolous
positions.

     The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Executive
for Good Reason (including a Change in Control of the Company) or
by the Company with or without Cause (as each capitalized term is
defined in the agreement).  Good Reason also includes an event of
default or termination, other than in accordance with its terms,
by the Company or its subsidiaries without cause, of any
Operating Agreement between the Company and the Kaplans, as
operators of the Company's facilities, or any Management Services
Agreement between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary and the
Kaplans.  If the employment of the Executive is terminated for
any reason, he may withdraw as a licensed operator of certain of
the Company's facilities. Likewise, if the Executive is
terminated by the Company as an operator of one of its
facilities, he may resign his employment with the Company.

     If the Executive terminates his employment with the Company
for Good Reason (including the Company giving notice of
non-renewal) or is terminated without Cause, he will receive
severance pay (i) in an amount equal to two years' Base Salary
and bonus, plus (ii) continued medical benefits for two years.
The agreement provides that the Executive will have no obligation
to mitigate the Company's financial obligations in the event of
his termination for Good Reason or without Cause and there will
be no offset against the Company's financial obligations for
other amounts earned by the Executive.  If termination is the
result of Executive's death or disability, the Company will pay
to the Executive (or his estate), an amount equal to six months'
Base Salary at his then current rate of pay (reduced in the case
of disability by his long-term disability policy payments).  If
the Executive's employment is terminated by him for Good Reason
or by the Company without Cause, he may also withdraw as an
operator of the Company's facilities; in such an event, he will
be entitled to receive twice his pro rata share of the operating
fees (net of fees payable under the applicable Management
Services Agreement) for the preceding twelve months.


Compensation Committee Report

     Compensation Policies.  The principal goal of the Company's
compensation program as administered by the Compensation
Committee is to help the Company attract, motivate and retain the
executive talent required to develop and achieve the Company's
strategic and operating goals with a view to maximizing
stockholder value.

     CEO's Compensation; Compensation of the Kaplans.

     Salary.  The Company entered into employment agreements with
each of Glenn Kaplan, Wayne L. Kaplan and Evan A. Kaplan prior to
the formation of the Compensation Committee.  Pursuant to such
agreements, the Company paid to each Kaplan an annualized base
salary of $213,000 from October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. 
The Compensation Committee has determined that, in 1997, the
Kaplans will be paid an annualized base salary of $237,000. 
These base salaries are competitive with those payable to
executives holding corresponding positions at corporations within
the Company's industry that are of comparable size.  Individual
experience and performance is considered when setting salaries
within the range for each position, although the Employment
Agreements between the Company and each of the Kaplans provide
that each Kaplan shall receive equal compensation.  Annual
reviews are held and adjustments are made based on attainment of
individual goals and in a manner consistent with the Company's
overall operating and financial performance.

     Bonus.  Each Kaplan also received a bonus of $26,500 for the
period from October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996.  In making its
determination of the bonus amounts, the Compensation Committee
reviewed a compensation survey prepared by Sibson & Co., a
compensation consulting firm.  Several other factors were
considered in the decision to award 1996 bonuses to the Kaplans,
including the Company's performance in reaching or exceeding its
development and acquisition goals.

     Compensation of Other Executive Officers and Key Employees.

     Base Salary.  Base salaries paid in 1996 to the Company's
executive officers and key employees are competitive with those
payable to executives holding corresponding positions at
corporations within the Company's industry that are of comparable
size.  Individual experience and performance is considered when
setting salaries within the range for each position.  Annual
reviews are held and adjustments are made based on attainment of
individual goals and in a manner consistent with the Company's
overall operating and financial performance.

     Annual Bonus.  The annual bonus is intended to motivate
individual and team performance by creating potential to earn
annual incentive awards that are contingent upon the performance
of the Company and that are comparable to those payable to
executives and key employees holding corresponding positions at
corporations within the Company's industry that are of comparable
size.  Bonuses for 1996 were determined both by evaluations of
individual performance and by the Company's successful initial
public offering of its common stock and the successful execution
of the Company's growth strategy during the period.

     Long-Term Incentives.  The Company provides its executives
and key employees with long-term incentive compensation through
grants of stock options under the Company's stock option plans. 
The grant of stock options aligns the executive's interests with
those of the Company's stockholders by providing the executive
with an opportunity to purchase and maintain an equity interest
in the Company and to share in the appreciation of the value of
the Company's Common Stock.  The size of option grants is
comparable to grants by other corporations within the Company's
industry that are of comparable size.


                              The Compensation Committee

                              Glenn Kaplan
                              Joseph G. Beck
                              Gerald Schuster


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     Compensation policies and decisions, including those
relating to salary, bonuses and benefits of executive officers,
were set or made by the Board of Directors from the formation of
the Company to the time of the Initial Public Offering.  The
Kaplans participated as members of the Board of Directors in
deliberations concerning executive officer compensation.  Upon
consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Board of
Directors created a Compensation Committee consisting of a
majority of Independent Directors, which recommends to the Board
the cash compensation to be paid to the Company's executive
officers. The members of the Compensation Committee are Glenn
Kaplan, Joseph Beck and Gerald Schuster.  Glenn Kaplan is the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is party to certain
agreements by which he in his individual capacity is the licensed
operator of certain of the Company's New York facilities, and was
party to certain transactions with the Company in connection with
the formation of the Company.  See "Certain Transactions."  Glenn
Kaplan does not participate in discussions regarding compensation
to be paid to him or to Wayne Kaplan or Evan Kaplan.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

     Consolidating Transactions.  The Company was formed in order
to consolidate and expand the assisted living business of the
Kapson Group (the "Predecessor").  The Predecessor historically
operated its business through a number of partnerships, limited
liability companies and S corporations.  In connection with the
Initial Public Offering, the Predecessor and the Company entered
into certain transactions pursuant to which the Company received
substantially all of the Predecessor's assets associated with its
assisted living business.  In addition, a number of transactions
were entered into in connection with the operation of the
Company's facilities, largely in order to comply with applicable
law and regulations.

     Conveyance of Assisted Living Business to the Company.  Upon
the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Predecessor
transferred to the Company the following: (i) certain wholly-
owned subsidiaries of the Predecessor that owned the entire fee
in the land and building underlying six facilities (Town Gate
East, Town Gate Manor, Senior Quarters at Huntington Station,
Senior Quarters at Centereach I, Senior Quarters at Centereach II
and Senior Quarters at Stamford); (ii) certain wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Predecessor that owned, directly or
indirectly, less than the entire fee in the land and building
underlying five facilities (23.75% of Change Bridge Inn, 50.1% of
Senior Quarters at Chestnut Ridge, 50% of Senior Quarters at East
Northport, 10% of Senior Quarters at Jamesburg and 11% of Senior
Quarters at Glen Riddle); (iii) two wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Predecessor that provided management services for all the
foregoing facilities, in addition to four facilities in which the
Predecessor did not have an equity interest (Castle Gardens, The
Regency at Glen Cove, Senior Quarters at Lynbrook and Senior
Quarters at Cranford); (iv) the Predecessor's interest in
pre-construction development projects in seven facilities
(Patterson, NY; Albany, NY; Briarcliff Manor, NY; Tinton Falls,
NJ; Westchester County, NY; Riverdale, NY and Northampton County,
PA); and (v) all of its other assets relating to its assisted
living business. In consideration of the foregoing, the Company:
(i) issued to the Kaplans, as sole equal partners of the
Predecessor, 4,150,000 shares of Common Stock, and paid to them
the sum of $6.0 million (representing the approximate tax
liability incurred by the Kaplans in connection with transactions
pertaining to the transfer by the Predecessor of its facilities
to the Company); and (ii) agreed to pay all real estate transfer
taxes arising out of the foregoing transactions (approximately
$83,000).  As a result of these transactions, the Company assumed
all indebtedness encumbering the facilities.  The Kaplans had
guaranteed certain indebtedness incurred by the Predecessor with
respect to certain facilities, and the Kaplans were released from
such guarantees.

     Arrangements Regarding Operation of Certain Facilities. 
Because of New York law and regulations, the Kaplans individually
are the operators of substantially all the Company's assisted
living facilities located in New York.  Of these facilities, the
Kaplans are or will be the operators of Town Gate East, Town Gate
Manor, Senior Quarters at Huntington Station, Senior Quarters at
Centereach I, Senior Quarters at Centereach II, Senior Quarters
at Chestnut Ridge and Senior Quarters at Lynbrook, either
pursuant to a separate operating agreement entered into by the
Company and the Kaplans (each, an "Operating Agreement") or the
pre-existing agreement with the unaffiliated owner of the
facility (that has been assigned to the Kaplans).  Each Operating
Agreement has a term of 25 years and provides for an operating
fee equal to 5% of gross revenues of the facility.  The
pre-existing agreements with third-party owners generally have a
term of five years and provide for an operating fee equal to 5%
of gross revenues or the greater of 5% of gross revenues and a
minimum fee (ranging from $96,000 to $150,000 per annum).  In
some instances, the Company may also be entitled to an incentive
fee or may have an equity interest in the facility.  The Kaplans,
as operators of each of these facilities, have engaged a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company to provide certain management
services in connection with the day-to-day operations of each
facility, in each case pursuant to a separate management
agreement (each, a "Management Agreement").  Each Management
Agreement is co-terminous with the underlying Operating Agreement
or pre-existing agreement with the third-party owner.  The fee
payable to the Company's subsidiary under each Management
Agreement is 30% of the operator's fee, increasing to 96% of all
the fees generated by aggregate gross revenues of all facilities
operated under this fee structure exceeding $23.0 million.  The
Kaplans have also agreed that, with respect to any other projects
for which the Company may not act as the licensed operator (such
as Senior Quarters at East Northport), they will act as licensed
operators in exchange for a fee equal to 5% of gross revenues and
pay the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary a servicing fee equal
to 96% of their operating fee.  The Operating Agreements may be
terminated: (i) by either the Company or the licensed operators
upon the occurrence of certain events of default (such as failure
to timely pay the licensed operators' fees, failure to perform
any material term, provision or covenant, subject to certain cure
periods, or an event of default under the Management Agreement);
(ii) by the Company upon the death or disability of all the
licensed operators; (iii) by the licensed operators upon a change
of control in the Company or at any time after five years; or
(iv) by the Company in its discretion at any time, provided that
if the Operating Agreement is terminated by the Company other
than for an event of default by the licensed operators, the
licensed operators will be entitled to liquidated damages equal
to twice the licensed operators' fees under the applicable
Operating Agreement (net of fees payable under the applicable
Management Agreement) over the preceding twelve months.  In
addition, the employment agreement with each Kaplan provides that
each Kaplan may withdraw as a licensed operator if he ceases to
be an employee of the Company for any reason, and that if his
employment is terminated by him for good reason or by the Company
without cause, he will be entitled to receive, in addition to the
severance payments provided for in his employment agreement,
either the liquidated damages provided for in the applicable
Operating Agreement or a lump sum equal to twice his share of the
licensed operators' fees (net of fees payable under the
applicable Management Agreement) for the preceding twelve months. 
Good reason includes the termination of an Operating Agreement or
a Management Agreement by the Company or its wholly-owned
subsidiary, as the case may be, other than in accordance with its
terms or by a licensed operator because of an event of default. 
This basic structure, and substantially similar agreements, are
used with respect to one New York facility (Senior Quarters at
Centereach II) that is not a licensed entity.  Legislation has
been enacted in New York State that allows privately-owned
corporations to operate certain types of licensed facilities,
including ALP facilities.  As a result, the Kaplans may form one
or more corporations to operate these facilities.  The Kaplans
are entitled, pursuant to the Operating Agreements, to assign
such agreements to any corporation that is wholly owned by them. 

Certain Transactions Regarding Sales of Common Stock

     Restrictions on Transfer.  Each Kaplan has agreed with the
Company that he shall not, for as long as he shall be the
licensed operator of any of the Company's facilities, transfer
any shares of Common Stock if it would result in his personally
owning fewer than 500,000 shares of Common Stock initially, or
250,000 shares of Common Stock after the fifth anniversary of the
consummation of the Initial Public Offering, in each case subject
to certain exceptions.  In addition, a stockholders' agreement
between the Kaplans and the Company provides (i) each Kaplan with
a right of first refusal with respect to a transfer of the shares
of Common Stock of the other Kaplans, except for a limited
exception in the case of death, and (ii) that the Kaplans shall
vote all their shares of Common Stock as a unit.

     Registration Rights.  Each of the Kaplans, along with
Herbert Kaplan, who beneficially own in the aggregate 4,150,000
shares of Common Stock, is entitled to certain rights with
respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").  Under the terms of the
agreement between the Company and the Kaplans, if the Company
proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities
Act, either for its own account or for the account of other
security holders exercising registration rights, each of the
Kaplans is entitled to notice of such registration and is
entitled to include shares of such Common Stock therein.  The
stockholders benefitting from these rights may, acting jointly,
also require the Company on two separate occasions to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act at the Company's
expense with respect to shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by them, and the Company is required to use its diligent
reasonable efforts to effect such registration.  These rights are
subject to certain restrictions, conditions and limitations,
including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit
the number of shares included in such registration.

     Shattuck Hammond Fee.  Upon consummation of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company paid its financial advisor, Shattuck
Hammond, approximately $887,500, as its fee for various
investment banking services rendered.  Joseph G. Beck, a director
of the Company, is a founding principal, executive committee
member and shareholder of Shattuck Hammond.

     Future Transactions.  The Board of Directors of the Company
has adopted a policy that future transactions between the Company
and its officers, directors, principal stockholders and their
affiliates will be subject to the approval of a majority of the
Independent Directors, and will be on terms no less favorable to
the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
