	three and six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been 
	prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities 
	and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures 
	normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with

	of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial state-
	ments reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring 
	accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at 
	September 30, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows for 
	the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  The results of 
	operations for the six months ended September 30, 1995 are not 
	necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

	management, the ultimate resolution of any of these pending claims 
	and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the 
	Company's financial position or results of operations.

	On January 26, 1994 Franklin Capital Associates and Aetna Life and 
	Casualty, shareholders, who at one time held almost 320,000 shares 
	of the Company's common stock (approximately 13% of shares outstand-
	ing) filed suit in Chancery Court of Williamson County, Tennessee 
	claiming unspecified damages not to exceed three million dollars in 
	connection with registration rights they received in the Company's 
	acquisition of National Health Industries in February 1991.  The 
	suit alleges the Company failed to use its best efforts to register 
	the shares held by the plaintiffs as required by the merger 
	agreement.  The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the 
	claims and does not expect that the ultimate outcome of the suit 
	will have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of 
	operation or financial position. The Company plans to vigorously 
	defend its position in this case.

3.      SALE OF ASSETS
	--------------

	On June 3, 1994, the Company entered into a strategic arrangement 
	with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation, under which Columbia 
	acquired one of the Company's two Louisville Certificates of Need 
	for nursing services and hired the Company to manage the operations 
	under the certificate for five years.  On February 18, 1995, the 
	Company entered into another arrangement with Columbia/HCA Healthcare 
	Corporation, under which Columbia acquired the Company's Certificate 
	of Need license to provide nursing services to patients in eight 
	counties in the Elizabethtown, Kentucky area and hired the Company 
	to manage the operations until the year 2000.  Simultaneously the 
	Louisville agency management agreement was extended for one year.

4.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT
	----------------

	On October 17, 1995, the Company expanded its revolving credit 
	facility with the Healthcare Financial  Services Division of Heller 
	Financial, Inc. from $7.5 million to $12 million. At the same time 
	the interest rate was reduced to 1 percent over prime from 1.5 
	percent and advance rates on working capital collateral were 
	expanded.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
	Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

The Company is aggressively pursing a strategy of integrating adult day care 
and home health care services to provide seniors with alternatives to long-
term institutional care.  The Company will be expanding into new geographic 
markets and integrating its services in all its existing markets.

Demand for the Company's alternatives to chronic long-term institutional 
care is strong and growing due to the aging of the population, consumer 
preference for non-institutional care, and payor preference for low-cost 
solutions.  A package of the Company's adult day care and home health care 
services can be provided as a substantially lower-cost alternative to 
nursing home care.  Thus the Company has chosen to focus its resources 
and efforts on the expansion of these services.

The Company's adult day care and comprehensive home health care services, 
which currently have no overlap of geographic service territories, continue 
to show improving financial results.  For the six-months ended September 30, 
1995, net income per share from on-going operations increased 53% over the 
same period last year.  Comparable revenues increased 17% (adjusted for the 
sale of certain operations last year -- see Note 3).  For the quarter ended 
September 30, 1995, net income per share from on-going operations increased 
67% over the same period last year.  Comparable revenues increased 13% 
(adjusted for the sale of certain operations last year).  These results were 
on a "same business" basis with minimal development activity and no geo-
graphic expansion taking place during the period.  The improvements in 
profitability reflect improved pricing and increased occupancy in the 
Company's adult day care centers and the effect of incremental home health 
revenues in existing markets.  Net earning per share improved from $0.20 to 
$0.26 for the six-months and from $0.09 to $0.15 for the quarter.

In October, 1995, the Company's revolving credit facility was expanded from 
$7.5 million to $12 million while the interest rate was lowered 0.5% to 1.0% 
over prime.  This credit facility and internally generated funds are expected 
to be sufficient to fund the Company's development plans.

Comprehensive Home Health Care

	Revenues. Net revenues for 1994 included $751,155 related to opera-
	tions sold during the year ended March 31, 1995.  Contribution 
	continues to be generated from these operations under management 
	contracts.

	Net revenues from continuing markets increased 12% from $13,718,864 
	in 1994 to $15,313,065 in 1995 primarily as a result of increased 
	volumes for nursing services and infusion therapies offset partially 
	by decreased reimbursement for providing certain infusion therapies.  
	Nursing volumes increased 11% and average net revenue per unit 
	increased 6% while infusion volumes increased 6% with a decrease in 
	average net revenue per unit of 18% due to competitive industry 
	pressures on pricing.

	Cost of Sales and Services.  Cost of sales and services as a percent 
	of net revenues decreased primarily as a result of improved volumes.

<PAGE>
Adult Day Care

	Net Revenues.  The increase of $629,552 in adult day care revenues 
	is attributable to the opening of 1 new center, increased occupancy 
	in existing centers, and a rate increase in all the centers.  Total 
	days of service provided increased 19% from 47,420 in 1994 to 56,522 
	in 1995.  As of September 30, 1995, the Company had 13 centers in 
	operation.  Average occupancy for the quarter was 66% as compared 
	to 62% in the prior year. System capacity as of September 30, 1995 
	was 938 guests per day as compared to 846 in the prior year.

	Cost of Sales and Services.  As a percent of net revenues, cost of 
	sales and services decreased by 1.4% as a result of increased 
	occupancy and reduced initial operating losses from new centers. 
	The Company's new centers typically take from 12 to 15 months to 
	reach break-even.  The Company's two newest centers generated net 
	revenues of $290,643 and losses of ($15,000) during the quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative.  The increase of $262,954 in these 
expenses is due primarily to increased billing and collection efforts and 
overhead additions in preparation for expansion.  These costs remained 
stable as a percent of total owned and managed revenues.

Depreciation and Amortization. -- The decrease results primarily from
certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Provision for Uncollectible Accounts.  The provision for uncollectible 
accounts for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was recorded at 
approximately 2.9% of net revenues based on management's evaluation of 
collectibility.  This percentage is within the range of industry averages.

Interest. -- The decrease in Interest is primarily the result of the lower
average outstanding debt levels.

certain operations to Columbia/HCA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Cash Flows
 ----------
 
 Key elements of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 
 six-months ended September 30, were (in thousands):

	Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents          1995         1994

	Net Change in Cash and Cash Equivalents         $ 157        $   518
							=====        =======

1995 net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $623,000 
resulted principally from current period earnings partially offset by 
increases in accounts receivable.  1995 net cash used by investing activities 
resulted principally from capital expenditures while 1994's net cash provided 
by investing activities came principally from the sale of certain operations.  
Net cash provided by financing activities resulted primarily from borrowings 
on the revolving credit facility partially offset by principaly payments on 
term debt and capital leases, net of additional capital leases.
<PAGE>
Revolving Credit Facility
- -------------------------
	On October 17, 1995, the Company expanded its revolving credit 
	facility with the Healthcare Financial Services Division of Heller
	Financial, Inc. from $7.5 million to $12 million.  At the same time, 
	the interest rate was reduced to 1 percent over prime from 1.5 
	percent and advance rates on working capital collateral were 
	expanded.

	The facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory 
	and the stock of the Company's subsidiaries.  Availability is 
	determined pursuant to a formula principally consisting of 95% of 
	accounts receivable under 180 days old (subject to certain 
	exclusions) plus 50% of inventory.  This facility, together with 
	internally generated funds, should provide capital resources 
	sufficient to support development of the business.

	At September 30, 1995, the balance outstanding on the facility 
	was $6.1 million.

Health Care Reform
- ------------------
	Congress is currently considering sweeping legislative change which 
	would effect major changes in the health care system.  This 
	legislation would materially change reimbursement under both the 
	Medicare and Medicaid systems.  Some of these changes include a 
	prospective payment system for Medicare home health agencies and 
	increased use of Medicaid "Block Grants".  Although the Company 
	believes that proposed legislation could increase government's 
	emphasis on home and community based health care services, it 
	cannot predict whether any of these proposals will be adopted, and 
	if they are adopted, no assurance can be given that the implementa-
	tion of this legislation will not have a material adverse effect on 
	the Company's business.

Impact of Inflation
- -------------------
	Management does not believe that inflation has had a material effect 
	on income during the past several years.
