Mostly, please check the exact requirements and percentages to get the correct amounts for you. Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses deductions begin on page 5 and includes:
Health Institute - yes!
You can include in medical expenses fees you pay for treatment at a health institute only if the treatment is prescribed by a physician and the physician issues a statement that the treatment is necessary to alleviate a physical or mental disability.
Page 12 has much information, please read through the entire section that begins:
Nursing Services
You can include in medical expenses wages and other amounts you pay for nursing services. The services need not be performed by a nurse as long as the services are of a kind generally performed by a nurse. This includes services connected with caring for the patient's condition, such as giving medication or changing dressings, as well as bathing and grooming the patient. These services can be provided in your home or another care facility.
I recommend reading the entire Pub. It isn't long and is full of great information.
