Yes. Per the IRS, qualified medical expenses include:
Qualified long-term care services are necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, rehabilitative services, and maintenance and personal care services (defined later) that are:
-
Required by a chronically ill individual, and
-
Provided pursuant to a plan of care prescribed by a licensed health care practitioner.
If you sister is paying to be in the facility for care, it is deductible so long as the expenses are not covered by a long-term care insurance plan and reimbursed.
