My mother has advanced dementia and needs round the clock care. She is now living in a care home for the elderly. Is the entire cost of the care home deductible as a medical expense? Also, since my father, brother and I split the monthly charges, can each of us include our portion of the monthly charges on our individual tax returns under medical expenses if we do schedule A? and do we need to fill out a particular form indicating that this expense is shared amongst the family members?
