ARVP II ACQUISITION, L.P. EXTENDS OFFER FOR

COSTA MESA, C.A. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - May 5, 2004 - ARVP 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 May 14, 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 Purchaser also announced today that pursuant to Rule 14d-11 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser has
the right, but not the obligation, to elect to provide for a subsequent offering
period, immediately following the Expiration Date. An explanation of the way a
subsequent offering period would operate, if offered, is being mailed to
unitholders.
The Purchaser has offered to purchase all the units (other than units held by

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offer or withdrawn would be converted into the right to receive $300, as more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 May 4, 2004, approximately 4,418 units, or approximately 26% of all
outstanding units (other than units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its
affiliates) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. Approximately 95% of
the unitholders who have voted on the proposal to effect the merger to date have
consented to the terms of the merger.
