If you moved into your parents' home and did not maintain a separate residence, you would qualify for the difficulty-of-care exclusion. Under § 131, “the provider’s home” means the place where the provider resides and regularly performs the routines of the provider’s private life, such as shared meals and holidays with family. Since you did not live with the other relative, those payments definitely do not qualify.
