Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The filing  persons  were  formerly  owners of shares of  Extended  Family  Care
Corporation ("EFCC").  Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January
3, 1997,  (the "Star Merger  Agreement"),  which was consummated on September 9,
1997, Arbor Health,  along with all other  shareholders of EFCC, became eligible
to receive  shares of Star Common  Stock and cash in exchange  for Arbor  Health
EFCC Share Certificates.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

                  See Item 5.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The filing persons have the following interests in the securities of the issuer:

         (i)      336,791  shares  are owned  directly  by Arbor  Health.  Arbor
                  Health has sole dispositive  power over these shares,  but has
                  granted to Star the irrevocable proxy to vote these shares for
                  a five-year period, subject to early termination if any shares
                  are sold pursuant to  registration  rights  granted by Star to
                  Arbor Health or pursuant to sales made under Rules 144 or 145.

         (ii)     Arbor Health has shared  dispositive power over 330,305 shares
                  of Star Common Stock  beneficially owned by Coss Holding Corp.
                  ("Coss").  Coss is also filing a Schedule 13D for these shares
                  concurrently  herewith.  Arbor Health's  beneficial  ownership
                  over such  shares  results  from a pledge made by Coss of such
                  shares to Arbor Health to secure Coss'  obligation  to repay a
                  $345,000  loan made by Arbor  Health  to Coss in April,  1997.
                  Those shares are also subject to an irrevocable proxy to Star,
                  identical to that granted by Arbor Health. This loan matures
                  on September 30, 1997.

<PAGE>

Item 6.        Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Star Merger Agreement,  Star has agreed to appoint Ivan Kaufman,
one of the filing persons  herein,  to a seat on Star's Board of Directors for a
two-year  period  which is expected  to commence on Star's next annual  meeting,
currently scheduled for late November, 1997.

Arbor Health has agreed not to dispose of its shares for a two year period 
except pursuant to registration rights granted by Star, sales permitted pursuant
to Rule 144 or 145 or in a private transaction in which the transferee becomes
bound to the terms of a shareholders agreement with Star, providing, inter alia,
for the voting of shares pursuant to the irrevocable proxy described in item
number 5 above.

Pursuant to a Shareholders Agreement which is part of the Star Merger Agreement,
Star granted piggyback registration rights to Arbor Health for an eighteen
(18) month  period  ending March 9, 1999 and, as to any shares remaining unsold
after that time, a demand registration right until March 9, 2000. Arbor Health
has also deposited $125,000 in escrow with counsel to Star to cover any
potential damages as a result of representations made in connection with the
Star Merger Agreement.
