My mother suffered a back injury and entered a nursing home for rehabilitation and care in late 2019 and all of 2020. She has required medication, therapy, and the highest level of care. She is also wheelchair bound. The facility issued a letter stating that 36% of payments made can be attributable to nursing care. It's my belief that she is in the nursing home primarily for medical care due to her chronic back problem and other health related issues. Can I claim a larger medical deduction on her tax return?
