Item 1.		Security and Issuer
		This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of Chemed
Corporation, formerly known as Roto-Rooter, Inc. , (the "Issuer") is being
filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the
"Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on January 17, 2002.  Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.		Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario Gabelli") and
various entities which he directly or indirectly controls or for which he acts
as chief investment officer.  These entities, except for Lynch Corporation
("Lynch") and Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser to various
institutional and individual clients, including registered investment
companies and pension plans, and as general partner of various private
investment partnerships.  Certain of these entities may also make investments
for their own accounts.
		The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more
than 5% of a class of a particular issuer.  Although several of the foregoing
persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented
for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may
from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial
ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have
decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed
Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
		(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or more of
the following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("Gabelli
Partners"), Gabelli Asset Management Inc. ("GBL"), Gabelli Funds, LLC ("Gabelli

this Schedule 13D are hereafter referred to as the "Reporting Persons".
