ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the common
stock, $0.10 par value ("Common Stock"), of Omega Worldwide, Inc. (the "Company"
or "OWWI"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 900
Victors Way, Suite 345, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         This Statement is being filed by Essel W. Bailey, Jr. and his wife
Menakka Bailey (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Mr. Bailey is a
self-employed private investor and consultant whose principal business address
is 315 East Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 212, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. Mr. Bailey
conducts his employment under the business names of Eclectic LLC and Alpha
Capital, Inc., both of which have as their principal business address 315 East
Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 212, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. Mrs. Bailey is a
private investor whose business address is 315 East Eisenhower Parkway, Suite
212, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. Another address for Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, and for
Eclectic LLC and Alpha Capital, Inc. is 135 South Beach Road, Hobe Sound,
Florida 33455. Each of the Reporting Persons is a United States citizen.

         None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was and 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.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Mr. Bailey acquired 12,303 shares directly and Mrs. Bailey acquired
directly 1,643 shares and they acquired jointly 31,968 shares on April 2, 1998
at the time of the distribution by Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI) of one share
of OWWI for 3.41 shares owned in the OHI spin-off. Additional open-market and
rights purchases were made with personal funds and are as set forth on
Attachment 1 which is incorporated herein by this reference.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Essel W. Bailey, Jr. acquired the shares of Common Stock of the Company
held by him, and Menakka Bailey acquired the shares of Common Stock of the
Company held by her, for general investment purposes.

         As a consequence of and pursuant to a waiver by the Company under its
Rights Plan granted to all shareholders of the Company extended through February
15, 2001 (as set forth in a letter to Mr. Todd P. Robinson dated October 9,
2000, and as extended in the Company's press

<PAGE>   5

release dated January 11, 2001), Mr. Bailey has discussed with other
shareholders of the Company issues relating to the maximization of shareholder
value and the means by which that might be achieved but has no agreements or
understanding with any such person. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, acting together, are
considering plans or proposals which they believe might lead to maximization of
value. They have considered, but have not decided whether or not to pursue,
possible courses of action with respect to the Company, including some or all or
those set forth in Item 4 of the General Instructions to Schedule 13D as
follows:

         (a) The acquisition of additional securities of the issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the issuer;

         (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

         (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or
any of its subsidiaries;

         (d) Any change in the present board of directors, or management of the
issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

         (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the issuer;

         (f) Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate
structure;

         (g) Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the issuer;

         (h) Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

         (i) A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

         (j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.


         Mr. and Mrs. Bailey intend to review, from time to time, the possible
courses of action referred to above and to take such action with respect to the
Company as they consider desirable in light of the circumstances then
prevailing. Pending a decision whether or not to pursue any of such possible
courses of action, and depending on market conditions and other factors,
including possible waivers under the Company's Rights Plan, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey
presently intend to continue to consider purchasing additional shares of the
Company's Common Stock in the open


                                       2
<PAGE>   6

market or in private transactions, if appropriate opportunities to do so are
available, on such terms and at such times as they consider desirable. They also
may determine to hold shares of the Company's Common Stock as an investment or
to dispose of all or a portion of such shares.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Mr. Bailey owns beneficially and of record 463,576 shares of the Common
Stock of the Company, including 125,333 options exercisable within 60 days,
45,356 shares held jointly with his wife and 5,613 shares held by Montague
Foundation of which he is a director but with respect to which he disclaims any
economic interest. He disclaims any beneficial interest in the 528,804 shares of
the Common Stock of the Company held solely by his wife, Menakka Bailey. Mr.
Bailey's 463,576 shares of Common Stock of the Company constitute 3.72% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company based on the
12,340,553 outstanding number of shares shown on the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000 (as adjusted pursuant to
Regulation ss.240.13d-3(d)). Mr. Bailey has sole voting power and sole
dispositive power with respect to the 287,274 shares of the Common Stock of the
Company held solely by him and 125,333 options held solely by him.

         Mrs. Bailey owns beneficially and of record 579,773 shares of the
Common Stock of the Company, including 45,356 shares held jointly with her
husband and 5,613 shares held by Montague Foundation of which she is a director
but with respect to which she disclaims any economic interest. She disclaims any
beneficial interest in the 287,274 shares of the Common Stock and 125,133
options held solely by her husband, Essel W. Bailey, Jr. Mrs. Bailey's 579,773
shares of Common Stock of the Company constitute 4.70% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company based on the 12,340,553
outstanding number of shares shown on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended September 30, 2000. Mrs. Bailey has sole voting power and
sole dispositive power with respect to the 528,804 shares of the Common Stock of
the Company held solely by her.

         As a result of their working together to maximize shareholder value
(See Item 4), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" within
the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, with aggregate beneficial ownership of 992,380 shares of the Company or
7.96%.

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

         There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
between or among the Reporting Persons that are set forth in any written
document; however, the Reporting Persons have discussed plans or proposals that
might lead to a maximization of Company values. The


                                       3

Reporting Persons have discussed and considered, but have not decided whether or
not to pursue, individually or jointly, possible courses of action with respect

reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

         (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or
any of its subsidiaries;

         (d) Any change in the present board of directors, or management of the
issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

         (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the issuer;

         (f) Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate
structure;

         (g) Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the issuer;

         (h) Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
