                                 ---------------

    This  Prospectus   Supplement  covers  the  resale  by  the  listed  parties
designated  under  the  notation  Selling  Securityholders  on pages 1 through 4
hereof (the "Selling Securityholders"),  of up to the aggregate principal amount
of 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2004 (the "Notes") of Res-Care, Inc., a
Kentucky corporation (the "Company"),  and the resale of shares of Common Stock,
no par value per share (the  "Common  Stock") of the Company  issuable  upon the
conversion  thereof (the  "Conversion  Shares") set forth  opposite such Selling
Securityholder's name on the Selling  Securityholders Table on pages 1 through 4
hereof. The Notes,  together with the Conversion Shares were registered pursuant
to Registration  No.  333-44029.  This Prospectus  Supplement  should be read in
conjunction with the prospectus,  dated January 30, 1998 (the "Prospectus"),  to
be delivered with this Prospectus Supplement. All capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Prospectus  Supplement shall have the meanings given them in the
Prospectus.

    Based on information  provided to the Company, the total principal amount of
Notes held by the  additional  listed Selling  Securityholders  included in this
Prospectus  Supplement is $21,857,000.  Additional  Selling  Securityholders  or
other information  concerning the Selling  Securityholders may be set forth from
time to time in additional prospectus supplements.

    The Notes are  convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common
Stock of the Company following the date of initial issuance thereof and prior to
maturity,  unless previously  redeemed or repurchased,  at a conversion price of
$28.2125 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 38.7630 shares per $1,000
principal amount of Notes and representing in the aggregate  3,876,296  shares),
subject  to  adjustment  in  certain  events.  Interest  on the Notes is payable
semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1998.


<PAGE>

    The  Notes  are not  redeemable  by the  Company  until  December  5,  2000.
Thereafter, the Notes will be redeemable, at any time, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days notice at the option of the Company,  in whole or in part,  at
the redemption prices set forth herein, plus accrued interest. Upon a Repurchase
Event  (as  defined),  each  holder  of the Notes may  require  the  Company  to
repurchase  all or a portion  of such  holder's  Notes at 100% of the  principal
amount  thereof,  together  with accrued and unpaid  interest to the  repurchase
date.  The Notes are unsecured and  subordinated  in right of payment in full to
all existing and future  Senior  Indebtedness  (as defined) of the Company.  See
"Description of the Notes."

    The Notes were  originally  issued by the Company in a private  placement on
November 21, 1997 to the Initial Purchasers (as defined) and were simultaneously
sold by the Initial  Purchasers in transactions  exempt from registration  under
the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  in the United
States to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified  institutional buyers" as
defined in Rule 144A under the  Securities Act and in offshore  transactions  to
persons  outside of the United  States in  reliance  on  Regulation  S under the
Securities Act.

    The Selling  Securityholders  may offer Notes or Conversion Shares from time
to time to purchasers directly or through underwriters,  dealers or agents. Such
Notes or Conversion  Shares may be sold at market prices  prevailing at the time
of sale or at negotiated prices. Each Selling Securityholder will be responsible
for payment of any and all  commissions to brokers,  which will be negotiated on
an individual basis.

    The Notes have been designated for trading on the Private Offerings, Resales
and Trading through Automated  Linkages  ("PORTAL")  Market. The Common Stock is
quoted on the Nasdaq  Stock  Market's  National  Market  (the  "Nasdaq  National
Market")  under the symbol  "RSCR." On February 23, 1998, the last reported sale
price of the Common  Stock as  reported  on Nasdaq was  $35.125  per share.  The
Conversion  Shares  have been  approved  for  quotation  on the Nasdaq  National
Market.  For a description  of certain  federal income tax  consequences  to the
holders of the Notes, see "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."

     The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of any Notes
or Conversion Shares by the Selling  Securityholders.  Expenses of preparing and
filing the  registration  statement  to which this  Prospectus  relates  and all
post-effective   amendments  will  be  borne  by  the  Company.   See  "Plan  of
Distribution" for a description of the indemnification  arrangements between the
Company and the Selling Securityholders.
