Yes, the payments are deductible under medical expenses. However, it depends on what that amount includes and why an individual is in catered living. You can include the cost of medical care and nursing care, cost of meals and lodging in the catered living if the primary reason for being there is to get medical care.
If the reason for being is personal, do not include the cost of meals and lodging, just the cost of medical and nursing care.
