SCHEDULE TO

     This Amendment No. 9 to Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amended Statement”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Initial Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 21, 2004, by ARVP II Acquisition, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Purchaser”), Atria Senior Living Group, Inc. (“Atria”) and ARV Assisted Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ARV,” and together with Atria and the Purchaser, the “Filing Persons”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on March 4, 2004, Amendment No. 2 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on March 26, 2004, Amendment No. 3 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on May 5, 2004, Amendment No. 4 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on May 11, 2004, Amendment No. 5 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on May 17, 2004, Amendment No. 6 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on June 4, 2004, Amendment No. 7 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on June 18, 2004 and Amendment No. 8 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on July 12, 2004 (the “Amendments”, together with the Initial Statement, the “Statement”). ARV, which is wholly-owned by Atria, is the general partner of the Purchaser. This Amended Statement is being filed in connection with the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement filed with the SEC on March 26, 2004 by the Filing Persons (the “Offer to Purchase”). Because the Offer to Purchase is also serving as a consent solicitation statement by the Purchaser, it has also been filed as part of the proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 26, 2004 on Schedule 14A by the Filing Persons. This Amended Statement relates to the contemplated offer (the “Offer”) by the Purchaser for all of the outstanding limited partnership units of American Retirement Villas Properties II, a California limited partnership. Because the transactions contemplated by the Offer to Purchase would be a Rule 13e-3 transaction, this Amended Statement is also being filed on the date hereof in compliance with that rule.

     In accordance with the rules of the SEC, the Filing Persons are amending and supplementing the Statement as set forth below. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase (including all schedules and annexes thereto) is hereby incorporated by reference herein in answer to the items of this Amended Statement. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Offer to Purchase, unless otherwise defined herein.

ITEMS 1, 4 and 11

     Items 1, 4 and 11 of the Statement are amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:

     “The offer period of the Offer, which was scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, July 23, 2004, has been extended to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, August 13, 2004, unless the Offer is further extended. In addition, the Offer Price has been increased by $20 to $370 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 until the date the Units are tendered, to the extent that the Purchaser does not receive those distributions with respect to any Units accepted for payment. Furthermore, the date of the fairness hearing to be held with respect to the Merger before the California Commissioner of Corporations has been postponed until August 25, 2004. On July 26, 2004, the Filing Persons issued a press release, sent a letter to Unitholders, which among other things, described the foregoing and sent a notice to Unitholders announcing the postponement of the fairness hearing.

     A copy of the press release issued by the Filing Persons on July 26, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(T) and is incorporated herein by reference.

     A copy of the letter sent by the Purchaser to Unitholders on July 26, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(U) and is incorporated herein by reference.

     A copy of the notice announcing the postponement of the fairness hearing sent by the Purchaser to Unitholders on July 26, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(F) and is incorporated herein by reference.”

                  ARVP II ACQUISITION, L.P. EXTENDS OFFER FOR
         AMERICAN RETIREMENT VILLAS PROPERTIES II UNTIL AUGUST 13, 2004
                   AND INCREASES OFFER PRICE TO $370 PER UNIT


COSTA MESA, C.A. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - July 26, 2004 - ARVP II Acquisition, L.P.
(the "Purchaser") announced today that it is increasing its offer price 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"), by $20 to
$370 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 Purchaser's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Statement, dated March 24, 2004 (the Offer to Purchase). Unitholders who have
already validly tendered their units will receive $370 per unit in accordance
with the Offer to Purchase, unless they withdraw their units in accordance with
the Offer to Purchase.

The Purchaser has also announced that it has extended the expiration date of its
offer and the related consent solicitation to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, on August
13, 2004, unless further extended (the "Expiration Date"). 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 is offering to purchase all the units (other than units held by
ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) for a purchase price of $370 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 $370 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 July 23, 2004, approximately 7,445 units, or approximately 45% of all
outstanding units (other than units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its
affiliates) had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. Approximately 91% 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 $370 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,
c/o ACS Securities Services, Inc., 3988 N. Central Expressway, Building 5, 6th




Floor, Dallas, Texas 75204 (Tel. (866) 275-3707), on or before 11:59 p.m.,
Eastern time, on August 13, 2004, unless the offer is further extended.
Unitholders who wish to consent to the proposal to effect the merger as
described in the Offer to Purchase must complete their Consent Forms in
accordance with the Offer to Purchase and deliver them to the same address
listed above on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on August 13, 2004, unless
the offer is further extended.

Unitholders who have any questions about the Purchaser's offer and/or consent
solicitation, need help or would like additional copies of the Offer to
Purchase, the Agreement of Assignment and Transfer, the Consent Form or any
other documents disseminated to unitholders should contact ACS Securities
Services, Inc. at the number above.

THE PURCHASER STRONGLY ADVISES ALL PARTNERSHIP UNITHOLDERS TO READ THE OFFER TO
PURCHASE, THE AGREEMENT OF ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER AND THE CONSENT FORM THAT THE
PURCHASER MAILED TO ALL UNITHOLDERS, AS WELL AS ITS SCHEDULE TO AND SCHEDULE
14A, WITH EXHIBITS AND THEIR AMENDMENTS, THAT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SEC.

ARVP II ACQUISITION, L.P.

245 Fischer Avenue, Suite D-1

Costa Mesa, California 92626

July 26, 2004

Dear American Retirement Villas Properties II Unitholder:

      We would like to inform you that we are increasing the Offer Price to purchase all of your Units by $20 to $370 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 Purchaser’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated March 24, 2004 (the “Offer to Purchase”). We decided to increase the Offer Price to $370 in order to encourage Unitholders to tender their Units and consent to the Merger Proposal. At this time, however, we do not expect to increase the Offer Price above $370.

      We would also like to inform you that we are extending the Expiration Date to 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, on August 13, 2004. If the Offer and Consent Solicitation are further extended, we 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.

      Furthermore, we would like to inform you that we are hereby amending the Offer to Purchase by deleting the last sentence in the section entitled “THE CONSENT SOLICITATION — Solicitation Period” in the Offer to Purchase and replacing it with the following sentence: “The Solicitation Period will commence upon delivery of this Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and will continue until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is 120 days following the Expiration Date (unless such date is not a business day, in which case the Solicitation Statement will continue until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the business day immediately following such date).”

      Unitholders who have already validly tendered their Units by sending us a properly completed Agreement of Assignment and Transfer will receive $370 per Unit in accordance with the Offer to Purchase, unless they validly withdraw their Units. If you have not already tendered your Units and would like to do so, you need to send a properly completed Agreement of Assignment and Transfer to our information agent on or before the Expiration Date as discussed below.

      We are offering to purchase all the Units (other than Units held by ARV Assisted Living, Inc. or its affiliates) for a purchase price of $370 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 Consent Solicitation would allow us 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 $370, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. ARV Assisted Living, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership, directly or indirectly wholly-owns us, 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.

      The Partnership charges a transfer fee to any purchaser of Units for the transfer of Units. This fee is equal to the lesser of $150 and the Partnership’s actual costs and expenses incurred in connection with such transfer. This fee is intended to compensate the Partnership for the costs and expenses incurred in connection with transferring the Units on the books of the Partnership, and the Partnership believes that these costs and expenses have been in excess of $150. While this fee is customarily imposed upon sellers of Units, we will pay this fee to the Partnership in connection with any transfer of your Units to us in the Offer. Therefore, the Partnership transfer fee will not reduce the Offer Price you will receive if you tender your Units in the Offer.

      Even though we are increasing the Offer Price per Unit from $350 to $370, we, ARV and Atria continue to believe that the original $300 per Unit Offer Price and the $350 per Unit Offer Price are each fair to unaffiliated Unitholders. However, we decided to increase the Offer Price in order to encourage Unitholders to tender their Units and consent to the Merger Proposal.

      The $370 Offer Price is more than the amount that we and ARV believe might be obtained if the Partnership were to sell its assets and liquidate. The amount that might be available to distribute to Unitholders would vary depending upon the timing of any such sale and distribution, the proceeds realized in connection with a sale of the Partnership’s assets, the liabilities existing at the time and various other factors that are not under the control of ARV or us.

      As of July 22, 2004, approximately 7,338 Units, or approximately 44% 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 Merger Proposal to date have consented to the terms of the Merger.

      Unitholders who wish to receive the $370 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, c/o ACS Securities Services, Inc., 3988 N. Central Expressway, Building 5, 6th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75204 (Tel. (866) 275-3707) on or before 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on August 13, 2004, unless the Offer is further extended. Unitholders who wish to consent to the proposal to effect the merger as described in the Offer to Purchase must complete their Consent Forms in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and deliver them to the same address listed above on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, on August 13, 2004, unless the Offer is further extended.

      For your convenience, we enclose an Agreement of Assignment and Transfer that you will need in order to validly tender your Units and a Consent Form that you will need to validly consent to the Merger Proposal. For your convenience, we also enclose a postage-paid return envelope.

      We have also enclosed a Notice of Fairness Hearing to inform you that the fairness hearing originally scheduled to be held on July 29, 2004 regarding the Merger described in the Offer to Purchase has been postponed and is now scheduled to be held on August 25, 2004.

      If you would like us to send you another copy of the Offer to Purchase or any other materials previously sent to you, please let our Information Agent know at the number below and such materials will be delivered to you without charge.

      Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Offer to Purchase.

      If you have any questions, please call the Information Agent at (866) 275-3707.

Very truly yours,
