ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, $.001 par
value per share (the "Shares") of Star Multi Care Services, Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Company"), with executive offices located at 99 Railroad
Station Plaza, Suite 208, Hicksville, New York, 11801.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         (a) This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Eugene J. Mora, an
individual ("Mora").

         (b) Mora's residence address is 8840 Villa La Jolla Drive, #114, La
Jolla, California 92037.

         (c) Mora's principal occupation is that of President of AMSERV
HEALTHCARE INC.

         (d) Mora has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding during the
last five (5) years (excluding minor traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).

         (e) Mora has not been a party during the last five (5) years to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
pursuant to which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

         (f) Mora is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

         On August 23, 1996, the Company and AMSERV HEALTHCARE INC., a Delaware
corporation ("AMSERV"), consummated a merger (the "Merger") whereby the Company
acquired control of AMSERV pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
February 9, 1996, and amended July 18, 1996, among the Company, AHI Acquisition
Corp., and AMSERV. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of
AMSERV was converted into the right to receive .409 Shares, representing a ratio
of one Share for each 2.445 shares of AMSERV common stock.

         Pursuant to the Merger, Mora received 208,396 Shares in exchange for
the surrender of 509,527 shares of common stock of AMSERV. In exchange for stock
options to purchase 35,000 shares of AMSERV common stock, Mr. Mora received
stock options to purchase 14,314 Shares.

         Of the 208,396 Shares owned by Mora, 45,194 (110,500 former AMSERV
shares) were purchased with personal funds and a recourse Promissory Note to
AMSERV (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), secured by those 45,194
Shares, bearing interest at the rate of 5.73% per annum, and maturing in January
2001.

         Of the 208,396 Shares owned by Mora, 44,990 (110,000 former AMSERV
shares) were purchased with personal funds and a non-recourse Promissory Note to
AMSERV (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company). The Note was later
amended and became a recourse note, secured by those 44,990 Shares, bearing
interest at a rate of 5.73% per annum, and maturing in April 2000.

         The balance of Mora's shares were purchased with personal funds.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The holdings reported herein were made as an investment. Mora may, in
the future, purchase additional Shares or dispose of Shares. Mora does not have
any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in a transaction of
the kind described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except the exercise of the
options discussed below in Item 5. In the future, however, Mora reserves the
right to adopt such plans or proposals.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) Mora directly owns 208,396 Shares. Mora also is the owner of stock
options to purchase 14,314 Shares, which options are currently exercisable. Mora
disclaims beneficial ownership of options to purchase 22,546 Shares (55,125
former AMSERV shares) for which Rosemarie Mora, Mora's former wife, has sole
voting and
<PAGE>   4
                                                                     Page 4 of 8

dispositive power and which options have been assigned to Rosemarie Mora. The
aggregate number of Shares of which Mora may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner is 222,710, which is 5.8% of the 3,815,213 outstanding Shares of the
Company. This total includes the option shares owned by Mora, which are
currently exercisable.

         (b) Mora has the sole power to vote and dispose of 222,710 Shares.

         (c) During the sixty days preceding the date hereof, Mora did not enter
into any transactions in Shares of the Company, other than the Merger described
in Item 3 above.

         (d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
Mora's Shares.

         (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENT, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
         SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Mora is party to a recourse Promissory Note (the "First Note") dated
April 20, 1995 and amended on January 16, 1996, to AMSERV (now a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company) in the original principal amount of $198,440, which
matures in April 2000 and bears interest at the rate of 5.73% per annum.

         The First Note is secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement (the "First
Pledge") between Mora and AMSERV (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
dated April 20, 1995 and amended January 16, 1996, with respect to 44,990 Shares
(originally purchased as 110,000 AMSERV shares through the exercise of stock
options on April 20, 1995).

         Mora is also party to a recourse Promissory Note (the "Second Note")
dated January 16, 1996 to AMSERV (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
in the original principal amount of $199,342, which matures in January 2001 and
bears interest at the rate of 5.73% per annum.

         The Second Note is secured by a Stock Pledge Agreement (the "Second
Pledge") between Mora and AMSERV (now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
dated January 16, 1996, with respect to 45,194 Shares (originally purchased as
110,500 AMSERV shares through the exercise of stock options on January 16,
1996).

         In the event of any default by Mora under the First or Second Note or
the First or Second Pledge, the Company has the right to take the Shares pledged
by Mora in repayment of the First or Second Note, as applicable, and the right
to sell such Shares at public or private sale. So long as no such default
occurs, Mora is entitled to receive all dividends paid on such Shares, to vote
such Shares in all matters and to otherwise be entitled to all rights of
ownership of such Shares.

Star Multi Care Services, Inc.

Hicksville, New York  11801

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of February 9, 1996 (together with any amendments thereto, the
"Merger Agreement") among Star Multi Care Services, Inc., a New York corporation
("Star"), AHI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Star (the "Merger Sub") and AMSERV HEALTHCARE INC., a Delaware
corporation ("AMSERV"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and
into AMSERV (the "Merger"), with AMSERV continuing as the surviving corporation
(the "Surviving Corporation"). This letter consists of the undertakings
contemplated by Section 5.12 of the Merger Agreement and is designed to assure
(1) compliance with Rule 145 ("Rule 145") promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and (2) that the Merger will be treated as a
"pooling of interests" for accounting purposes.

         1.       Compliance with Rule 145. I represent, warrant and covenant as
                  follows:

                  (a) I understand that I may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of
         AMSERV, as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 145, and that the
         transferability of the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
         share, of Star (the "Star Common Stock"), which I will receive upon the
         consummation of the Merger in exchange for my shares of common stock,
         par value $.01 per share, of AMSERV (the "AMSERV Common Stock"), is
         therefore subject to the provisions of Rule 145. Nothing herein shall
         be construed as an admission that I am an affiliate.

                  (b) Appendix A attached hereto sets forth all shares of AMSERV
         Common Stock and Star Common Stock owned by me, including all AMSERV
         Common Stock as to which I have sole or shared voting or investment
         power and all rights, options and warrants to acquire AMSERV Common
         Stock owned or held by me.

                  (c) I will not sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of
         any shares of Star Common Stock issued to me pursuant to the Merger,
         except pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance
         with Rule 145 or another exemption from the registration requirements
         of the Act.

                  (d) I understand that Star is under no obligation to register
         the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Star Common
         Stock to be received by me upon consummation of the Merger or to take
         any other action necessary for the purpose of making an exemption from
         the registration requirements of the Act available for the resale of
         the Star Common Stock to be received by me upon consummation of the
         Merger.

                  (e) I understand that Star will impose stop transfer
         instructions with respect to the Common Stock to be received by me upon
         consummation of the Merger and that a restrictive legend will be placed
         on certificates delivered to me evidencing such Star Common Stock in
         substantially the following form:

                           "This certificate and the shares represented hereby
                  have been issued pursuant to a transaction governed by Rule
                  145 ("Rule 145") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
                  as amended (the "Act"), and may not be sold or otherwise
                  disposed of unless registered under the Act pursuant to a
                  Registration Statement in effect at the time or unless the
                  proposed sale or disposition can be made in compliance with
                  Rule 145 or without registration in reliance on another
                  exemption therefrom."

         2.       Pooling of Interest Accounting. I represent, warrant and
                  covenant as follows:

         From and after 30 days prior to the effective date of the Merger until
after such time as results covering at least 30 days of combined operations of
the Surviving Corporation and Star have been published by Star, in the form of a
quarterly earnings report, an effective registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC"), a report to the SEC on Form
10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, or any other public filing or announcement which includes the
combined results of operations, I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of any securities of AMSERV or of any Star Common Stock received by me in the
Merger or other shares of capital stock of Star except that, with the written
consent of Star and (prior to the effective date of the Merger) AMSERV to assure
compliance with applicable "pooling of interest" accounting requirements (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), I may make transfers or other
dispositions that, taking into account the actions of other affiliates of both
AMSERV and Star, are (a) permitted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 76 (a
copy of which is annexed hereto as Appendix B) and (b) will not otherwise
prevent Star from accounting for the Merger as a "pooling of interests."

         3.       Miscellaneous. I hereby represent, warrant and covenant as
                  follows:

                  (a) I have full power and authority to execute this Agreement,
         to make the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained
         and to perform my obligations hereunder.

                  (b) I understand the requirements of this letter and the
         limitations imposed on the sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition
         of the Star Common Stock.

                  (c) The receipt of this letter by Star is an inducement to
         Star's obligation to consummate the Merger under the Merger Agreement.

                  (d) All of the above representations are true, correct and
         complete on the date hereof and will continue to be true, correct and
         complete through and including the time of the transaction. If any of
         the representations in this letter cease to be true at any time prior
         to the time of the transaction, I will so notify you immediately in
         writing (and in all events before the time of the transactions).

                                                    Very truly yours,


                                                    /s/ Eugene J. Mora
                                                    ----------------------------
