                NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


   The accompanying  interim consolidated financial statements for the  three
   months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995 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  generally  accepted  accounting
   principles  have been  omitted  pursuant to  such rules  and  regulations.
   Accordingly,  the  reader of  this Form  10-Q may  wish  to refer  to  the
   Company's  Form  10-K  for the  year  ended  March 31,  1996  for  further
   information.   In  the  opinion   of  management  of   the  Company,   the
   accompanying   unaudited   interim  financial   statements   reflect   all
   adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) necessary  to
   present fairly the financial position at June 30, 1996 and the results  of
   operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

   The  results of operations for  the three months ended  June 30, 1996  are
   not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year.

 2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


      Legal Proceedings


 The  Company is  currently, and from  time to  time, subject  to claims  and
 suits arising  in the ordinary course of its business, including claims  for
 damages for  personal injuries.  In the opinion of management, the  ultimate
 resolution  of any of these  pending claims and  legal proceedings will  not
 have  a material 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 approximately 320,000  shares
 of  the Company's  common stock  (approximately 13%  of shares  outstanding)
 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 impact on  the Company's results of operation  or
 financial position.  The Company plans to vigorously defend its position  in
 this  case.  No  amounts have been  recorded in  the accompanying  financial
 statements related to this suit.

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

   OVERVIEW


   Strategic Focus

   The Company is continuing its previously announced  plans for the geographic
   expansion of its home and  community based health care  business units which
   consist of adult day health services and home health  care (home health care
   includes nursing, infusion  therapy and durable  medical equipment).   These
   businesses are  involved with  the delivery  of health  care in  alternative
   settings which are preferred  by consumers and  operate at lower  costs than
   hospitals and nursing homes.  The Company intends to continue to develop and
   acquire home  and  community-based  healthcare  service  operations  and  to
   continue  to   shift   its  emphasis   toward   providing  alternatives   to
   institutional long-term care.

   By the end of fiscal year 1997 (ending March 31, 1997), the Company  expects
   to open 12-15  new adult day  health centers and  7-9 new  home health  care
   operations, creating  nine integrated and seven new markets for Caretenders.
   At the  end of  this period,  the Company  anticipates having  28 adult  day
   health centers and up to 15 home care operations in place.  Since March  31,
   1996, the Company has opened 5 and  acquired 2 new home care operations  and
   opened 1 new adult day health center.

   Through August  13, 1966,  new  home care  operations  have been  opened  in
   Baltimore MD, Stamford CT, Indianapolis IN, and Columbus and Cincinnati  OH.
   Home care operations have been acquired  in Cleveland OH and Ft.  Lauderdale
   FL.  The new adult day health center is located in Lexington KY.

   Please refer to the Company's  Form 10-K for the  year ended March 31,  1996
   for information  regarding  the Company's  cautionary  statements  regarding
   forward looking information.

   Earnings

   Earnings for the quarter ended June 30,  1996 remained at the same level  as
   those for  the same  quarter of  the prior  year despite  the incurrance  of
   $112,000 or  $0.04 per  share of  initial operating  losses related  to  the
   Company's geographic  expansion.  Earnings  per share  from  operations  was
   consistent at $.12 for both 1996 and 1995.  The increase in selling, general
   and  administrative  expenses  was   primarily  related  to  the   Company's
   geographic expansion activities.

        Continuing Operations

             Home Health Care

             Revenues. Net revenues  increased 19.4% from  $11,961,862 in 1995
             to $14,277,187 in 1996 primarily as  a result of increased volume
             for nursing services and durable medical equipment rentals offset
             partially by decreased  volume for infusion  therapies.  Acquired
             operations accounted  for  approximately  $640,000  of  the  $2.4
             million increase in home health revenues.

             Cost of Sales  and Services.   Cost  of sales  and services  as a
             percent of net revenues decreased slightly  due to revenue growth
             partially offset by  the effect  of $63,000 of  initial operating
             losses related to geographic expansion.

             Adult Day Health Services

             Net Revenues.    The increase  of  $354,715 in  adult  day health
             services revenues is primarily  attributable to increased volumes
             in existing centers.   Total  days of service  provided increased
             9.8% from 53,254 in 1995 to 58,478 in 1996.  As of June 30, 1996,
             the Company had 14 centers in operation.

             Cost of Sales and Services.   As a percent  of net revenues, cost
             of sales and  services decreased due  to volume  growth in mature
             centers partially  offset by  the  effect of  $49,000  of initial
             operating losses relating to geographic expansion.
<PAGE>

        Selling, General  and Administrative.    The increase  of  $394,000 in
        these expenses is  due to: a)  normal year-to year  cost increases and
        variable expenses associated  with managing volume  growth in existing
        operations ($160,000), and  b) increased  overhead expenses (primarily
        personnel and travel)  related to  the Company's  geographic expansion
        activities ($234,000).

        Provision for Uncollectible Accounts.  The provision for uncollectible
        accounts  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996  was  recorded  at
        approximately 2.8% of net revenues based on management's evaluation of
        collectibility.

        Depreciation and Amortization.   The  increase results  primarily from
        capital additions.

        Interest.   The  decrease in Interest  is primarily the  result of the
        lower average outstanding debt  levels and a decrease  in the interest
        rate associated with the Company's working capital credit facility.



   Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Revolving Credit Facility

 At June  30,  1996,  the  Company  had total  cash  and  unused  borrowings  of
 approximately $8.1 million.

 The revolving credit facility is expected to  provide working capital resources
 sufficient to  support  operations  and  current  expansion  plans.    However,
 management will  continue  to  evaluate raising  additional  capital  including
 possibly debt and  equity investments in  the Company to  support a more  rapid
 development of the business than would be possible with internal funds.


 Cash Flows


   Key  elements  of  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Cash  Flows  were   (in
   thousands):

                    Investing activities          (882)          (300)
                    Financing activities        (1,185)           115

                Net Change in Cash and
                Cash Equivalents               $  (715)       $   249
</TABLE>


   Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,352,000 resulted  principally
   from  current  period earnings  plus  non-cash  expenses. Net  cash  used  by
   investing activities  resulted principally  from capital  expenditures.   Net
   cash  used in  financing activities  resulted primarily  a reduction  in  the
     balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

   Health Care Reform


 Health care, as one of the  largest industries in the United States,  continues
 to attract much legislative interest and public attention. In recent years,  an
 increasing number of legislative proposals have been introduced or proposed  in
 Congress and in some state legislatures that would effect major changes in  the
 health care  system,  either nationally  or  at the  state  level.   Among  the
 proposals under  consideration are  cost  controls, insurance  market  reforms,
 requirements that  all  businesses offer  health  insurance coverage  to  their
 employees and the creation  of a single government  health insurance plan  that
 would cover all  citizens. The costs  of certain proposals  would be funded  in
 significant part by reductions in payments by governmental programs,  including
 Medicare and Medicaid,  to health care  providers. The  Company cannot  predict
 whether any of the above proposals or any other proposals will be adopted,  and
 if adopted, no assurance can be  given that the implementation of such  reforms
 will not have a material effect on the business of the Company.


   Impact of Inflation


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