SCHEDULE TO

     This Amendment No. 8 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 and Amendment No. 7 to the Initial Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC on June 18, 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 9, 2004, has been extended to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Friday, July 23, 2004, unless the Offer is further extended. 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 July 29, 2004. On July 12, 2004, the Filing Persons issued a press release, sent a letter to Unitholders describing the foregoing, sent a notice to Unitholders announcing the postponement of the fairness hearing and sent a notice to Unitholders reaffirming the importance of the enclosed information.

     A copy of the press release issued by the Filing Persons on July 12, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(Q) and is incorporated herein by reference.

     A copy of the letter sent by the Purchaser to Unitholders on July 12, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(R) and is incorporated herein by reference.

     A copy of the notice sent by the Purchaser to Unitholders on July 12, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(1)(S) 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 12, 2004 is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
