Deducting medical expenses for my partner on my return

My partner and I are not married and each file single. I don't claim her as a dependent although I pay for more than half of her expenses. Her only income is social security, an IRA, dividends and capital gains from mutual funds. I pay her medical insurance and health expenses. Can I deduct the medical expenses on schedule A? If so, do I have to take her as my dependent.
