                  ARVP II ACQUISITION, L.P. EXTENDS OFFER FOR
                    AMERICAN RETIREMENT VILLAS PROPERTIES II
                    -- AT PURCHASE PRICE OF $350 PER UNIT --
                              UNTIL JULY 9, 2004

COSTA MESA, C.A. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - June 21, 2004 - ARV II Acquisition, L.P.
(the "Purchaser") announced today that it has extended the expiration date of
its offer to purchase all of the limited partnership units (other than units
owned by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) of American Retirement
Villas Properties II, a California limited partnership, (the "Partnership"), and
the related consent solicitation to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, on July 9, 2004,
unless further extended (the "Expiration Date"). The offer and the related
consent solicitation are each being made pursuant to the Purchaser's Offer to
Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March 24, 2004 (the "Offer to
Purchase").

If the offer and consent solicitation are further extended, the Purchaser will
issue a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the next
business day after the day on which the offer and consent solicitation were
previously scheduled to expire.

The Purchaser has offered to purchase all the units (other than units held by
ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) for a purchase price of $350 per
unit in cash, less the amount of any cash distributions made or declared with
respect to the units on or after March 24, 2004, in accordance with the terms of
the Offer to Purchase. The related consent solicitation would allow the
Purchaser to effect a merger pursuant to which each unit (other than units held
by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) not validly tendered in the
offer or withdrawn would be converted into the right to receive $350 per unit,
as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. ARV Assisted Living, Inc., the
general partner of the Partnership, directly or indirectly wholly-owns the
Purchaser, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atria Senior Living Group, Inc.
ARV Assisted Living, Inc. also owns approximately 52.5% of the limited
partnership units of the Partnership.

As of June 17, 2004, approximately 6574.85 units, or approximately 39% of all
outstanding units (other than units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its
affiliates) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. Approximately 92% of
the unitholders who have voted on the proposal to effect the merger to date have
consented to the terms of the merger.

Unitholders who wish to receive the $350 per unit offer price must complete the
Agreement of Assignment and Transfer previously sent to unitholders in
accordance with the Offer to Purchase and deliver it to the Purchaser's
information agent to the attention of American Retirement Villas Properties II,
