Item 5. Other Events

     On December 22, 1998, the Registrant entered into a Second Preferred Stock
Modification Agreement (the "Agreement") with ManorCare Health Services, Inc.
("ManorCare"), a wholly owned subsidiary of HCR ManorCare, Inc., to modify the
terms of the 200,000 shares of the Company's convertible preferred stock held by
ManorCare.

     Under the terms of the Agreement, ManorCare irrevocably waived the right of
the preferred stock to vote on an as-if-converted basis along with the common
stock, except with respect to any proposal presented to the Company's
stockholders to (i) windup, dissolve or liquidate the Company or revoke or
forfeit its charter, (ii) amend the Company's articles of incorporation, (iii)
merge or consolidate or enter into an exchange agreement with another
corporation, or (iv) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets not in the usual and regular course of
business.  The waiver only applies in cases where the preferred stock has the
right to vote on an as-if-converted basis with holders of common stock.

     In consideration for ManorCare entering into the Agreement, the Company
waived the right to pay the 12% dividends on the preferred stock in the form of
shares of common stock.  The Company has in the past paid this dividend in the
form of cash, and as a result of the waiver will continue to do so.

In addition to the 200,000 preferred shares, ManorCare continues to own 41% of
the Company's outstanding common stock.  The Agreement does not effect the
voting rights of these shares of common stock.  As a result of the Agreement,
ManorCare no longer has majority voting power with respect to the election of
the Company's Board of Directors.

     WHEREAS, ManorCare holds all the outstanding shares of In Home's Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), which consists of 200,000 shares of the
Preferred Stock;

     WHEREAS, under Section 601(i) of the Certificate of Designation (the
"Certificate") governing the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock has the right

thereof.  The waiver contained herein does not apply to any voting rights under
