Ok, I’m actually looking into amending a return. My father(86) suffered a breakdown and tried to kill himself. Went to the hospital for a while, and then was moved to an assisted living facility from his home, where we hired people to watch him for a few weeks, on the advice of the hospital physician. Things settled down, but he remained at the assisted living facility with some hired help/supervision until his death(natural) the next year. In the year if the incident, the home health aide costs were deducted, as well as the fee the assisted facility charged for monitoring medications, etc, which was extra. He did not require bathing help, help eating, bathroom, etc., and we hired the health aides to assist otherwise. Is all or part of the assisted living room and board deductible?
