Medicare could not calculate hospital-use measures for Modern Homecare: the number of patient episodes was too small to report.

| Skilled nursing | Yes |
| Physical therapy | Yes |
| Occupational therapy | Yes |
| Speech therapy | Yes |

| Round-the-clock or shift care | No. Home health is visits, not shifts. |

| Long-term help with bathing and dressing | No. That is non-medical home care, which families usually arrange and pay for separately. |
