<PAGE>


                             INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS" or the "Company") hereby amends its
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-35851) (the "Form S-4")
by filing this  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8  ("Amendment No. 1")
with respect to up to 1,841,663  shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share ("IHS Common Stock"),  issuable in connection with the following
plans (the "Plans") of RoTech Medical Corporation ("RoTech"):  (i) RoTech's 1996
Key Employee  Stock Option Plan,  (ii)  RoTech's  1993 Stock Option Plan,  (iii)
RoTech's Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors, (iv) RoTech's Amended
Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors and (v) RoTech's 1986 Incentive
Stock Option Plan. All such shares of IHS Common Stock were previously  included
in the Form S-4.

     On October 21, 1997, IHS Acquisition XXIV, Inc., a Florida  corporation and
a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of IHS  ("Merger  Sub"),  was merged  with and into
RoTech,  a Florida  corporation,  pursuant to an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger,
dated  as of July 6,  1997,  among  IHS,  Merger  Sub and  RoTech  (the  "Merger
Agreement").  As a result of the Merger, RoTech became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of IHS and each  outstanding  share of RoTech Common Stock, par value $.0002 per
share ("RoTech Common Stock"), with certain specified exceptions,  was converted
into the right to receive .5806 of a share (the "Exchange  Ratio") of IHS Common
Stock.  As a result of the Merger,  shares of RoTech  Common Stock are no longer
issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase  RoTech Common Stock  ("RoTech
Options")  pursuant  to the  Plans.  Instead,  participants  in the  Plans  will
receive,  in lieu of RoTech  Common  Stock,  that number of shares of IHS Common
Stock equal to the number of shares of RoTech Common Stock issuable  immediately
prior to the  effective  time of the Merger  upon  exercise  of a RoTech  Option
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

     The designation of Amendment No. 1 as Registration  Statement No. 333-35851
denotes  that  Amendment  No. 1 relates  only to the shares of IHS Common  Stock
issuable  pursuant  to the  Plans  and  that  this is the  first  Post-Effective
Amendment to the Form S-4 filed with respect to such shares.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Under the General  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), a
corporation may include provisions in its certificate of incorporation that will
relieve its directors of monetary liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty
to the corporation,  except under certain  circumstances,  including a breach of
the  director's  duty of loyalty,  acts or omissions of the director not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the
approval  of an improper  payment of a dividend  or an improper  purchase by the
corporation  of stock or any  transaction  from  which the  director  derived an
improper  personal  benefit.   The  Company's  Third  Restated   Certificate  of
Incorporation,  as amended, provides that the Company's directors are not liable
to the  Company or its  stockholders  for  monetary  damages for breach of their
fiduciary duty, subject to the described exceptions specified by the DGCL.

     Section 145 of the DGCL grants to the Company the power to  indemnify  each
officer and director of the Company against liabilities and expenses incurred by
reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of the Company if he
acted in good  faith  and in a manner  he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests of the Company and,  with respect to any criminal
action or  proceeding,  had no  reasonable  cause to  believe  his  conduct  was
unlawful. The Company's Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended,
and  By-laws,  as  amended,  provide  for  indemnification  of each  officer and
director  of the  Company  to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by the  DGCL.  In
addition,  IHS has entered into  indemnity  agreements  with its  directors  and
executive  officers,  a form of  which  is  included  as  Exhibit  10.72 to IHS'
Registration Statement on Form S-1, No. 33-39339, effective March 31, 1992.

     Section 145 of the DGCL also  empowers the Company to purchase and maintain
insurance  on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or  director  of the
Company  against  liability  asserted  against  or  incurred  by him in any such
capacity,  whether or not the  Company  would have the power to  indemnify  such
officer or director  against such liability under the provisions of Section 145.
The Company has  purchased and  maintains a directors'  and officers'  liability
policy for such purposes.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not applicable.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (i) To include any prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the  effective  date  of  the   registration   statement  (or  the  most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereof)  which,  individually  or in the  aggregate,
represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;

             (iii) To include any material  information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously  disclosed in the  registration  statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

   Provided,  however,  that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information  required to be included in a post-effective  amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant  pursuant to
Section  13 or Section  15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

         (2) That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

     (b) The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934  that is  incorporated  by  reference  in the
registration  statement  shall  be  deemed  to be a new  registration  statement
relating to the securities offered therein,  and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and controlling  persons of
the  registrant  pursuant to the  provisions  described  under Item 6 above,  or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such



<PAGE>



indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in the  Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities  (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling  person of the registrant in the
successful  defense of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is  asserted  by such
director,  officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been  settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a court of  appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification  by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

Post-Effective  Amendment  No.  1 on Form S-8 to the  Registrant's  Registration
Statement on Form S-4 to be signed on its behalf by the  undersigned,  thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Owings Mills, State of Maryland, on November 24,

         We have examined such corporate  records,  documents and such questions
