                                  THE COMPANY

GENERAL
- --------

     The Company provides comprehensive pediatric home health care services,
specializing in home nursing, respiratory therapy, infusion therapy and related
services for infants and children. The Company's pediatric home health care
services are designed to provide a high quality, lower cost alternative to
prolonged hospitalization for medically fragile children.  As a complement to
its pediatric respiratory and infusion  therapy services, the Company also
provides respiratory and infusion therapy and related services for adults.  The
Company currently offers its home health care services through a network of 72
branch offices located in 24 states operated through various subsidiaries.  The
Company was organized on September 25, 1989 under the laws of the State of
Delaware.  Since that time the Company has grown by internal development,
strategic alliances and by acquisition.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------

     In October 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Pediatric Physical
Therapy, Inc., a pediatric physical therapy operation in St. Louis, Missouri,
and in December 1997 purchased the assets of a related company, Kid's Nurses,
Inc., a pediatric nursing company in St. Louis, Missouri.

     In November 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Kids & Nurses, Inc., a
pediatric home health care company with operations in Tennessee and Florida,
adding seven new prescribed pediatric extended care centers to the Company's
already existing centers in Florida and Georgia, and transferring to the Company
pediatric certificates of need in four major metropolitan areas of Tennessee.

     Also in November 1997, the Company purchased the assets of Intra-Care,
Inc., a pharmacy and infusion company with three locations in New Jersey, in
return for an aggregate value of $7,500,000 ($4,000,000 in cash and 130,435 in
shares).  In addition to directly providing home services, the Intra-Care
acquisition adds to the Company's services the management of physician's offices
and allows provision of infusion services at out-patient centers.

     In December 1997, the Company purchased the assets of two related
companies, Cyber Home Medical Equipment Corporation, Inc. and Pre-Med, Inc.,
home medical equipment companies in New York with coverage of Long Island and
several of the New York City boroughs.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
     In December 1997, one of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, Insurance
Medical Reporter, Inc. ("IMR") purchased certain assets of ChoicePoint Services
in return for an aggregate value of $21.7 million, consisting of $11.7 million
in cash and $10.0 million in the form of shares of the Company's Common Stock
(the 495,050 shares of Common Stock being registered hereby). IMR provides
paramedical examinations for the life and health insurance industries.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDER

     The Selling Stockholder is ChoicePoint Services, a Georgia corporation (or,
its successors in interest described below under "Plan of Distribution").
Neither the Selling Stockholder nor any officer, director or stockholder of the
Selling Stockholder has had any prior relationship with the Company or any of
its affiliates. All of the 495,050 Shares offered hereby (7% of the presently
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of February 8, 1998) are
being offered for the account of ChoicePoint Services.  The Selling Stockholder
acquired the Shares as a result of the transfer of certain assets of ChoicePoint
Services as described above at "The Company - Recent Developments."  The Company
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling
Stockholder. As of February 8, 1998 the Selling Stockholder beneficially owned
495,050 shares of Common Stock. At the completion of sale, assuming all the
Shares are sold, the Selling Stockholder will own no shares of Common Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholder, or by
pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, including without
limitation ChoicePoint, Inc. (the sole stockholder of the Selling Stockholder to
whom Shares may be distributed by the Selling Stockholder), with such sales to
consist primarily of market transactions effected through registered broker
dealers on The Nasdaq National Market or such other national securities exchange
or automated interdealer quotation system on which shares of Common Stock are
then listed, at market prices then prevailing.  Brokers or dealers will receive
commissions, concessions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder and/or the
purchasers of the Shares in amounts to be negotiated prior to the sale.  In
addition, any Shares covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant
to this Prospectus.  To the extent that any of the Shares offered hereby remain
unsold upon the termination of this offering they will be deregistered.

     The Company will bear all expenses in connection with the registration  of
the Shares.  The Selling Stockholder will bear all expenses related to the sale
of the Shares, including but not limited to commissions, concessions or
discounts to brokers or dealers and fees and expenses of counsel or other
advisors to the Selling Stockholder.

     The Selling Stockholder and any broker or dealer who acts in connection
with the sale of the Shares hereunder may be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of Section 2(11) of the 1933 Act, and any compensation received by
them and any profit on any resale of the Shares as principals might be deemed to
be underwriting discounts and commissions under the 1933 Act.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
          -----------------------------------------

     Article Ninth of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article VI, Section 4 of the Company's Amended and Restated
Bylaws provide that each person who was or is made  a party to, is threatened to
be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of
the fact that he is or was a person for whom he is a legal representative, or is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
entity, including employee benefit plans) will be indemnified and held harmless
by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law as it currently exists or is later amended.  The Company shall
be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by
such person only if the Proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

     Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation
may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or
other entity if such person is serving in such capacity at the corporation's
request) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful.  In the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation,
the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation (or other entity if such person is serving in such capacity at the
corporation's request) against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless a court determines that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in 
<PAGE>
 
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

     Article Seventh of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation also provides that a director of the Company shall not be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for
any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional approval of
misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction in which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.

     The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance that will
insure against liabilities that directors or officers of the Company may incur
in such capacities.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
          ------------

A.    RULE 415 OFFERING.

      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

        (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act");

        (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
        effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
        effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
        represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
        registration statement.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
        decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
        securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
        deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering
        range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
        Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
        volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
        aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
        Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

        (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
        distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
        any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, because this registration statement is on Form S-3,
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.

       (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

       (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

B.   SUBSEQUENT DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

C.   INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND CONTROLLING PERSONS.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public 

                                      II-3
<PAGE>
 
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No.1 to
the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the town of Norcross, State of Georgia, on
February 17, 1998.
