As previously mentioned, rent is not deductible but medical expenses are. If you can claim him as a dependent, then you can claim his medical expenses. Yes, he has legitimate medical expenses in there. Here is the IRS medical expense guide. Most places like that can tell you the medical portion versus the rent portion. You may get an itemized bill. Each place is a little different. You definitely have medical expenses.
Also, I really hate to say this, the medical expenses have to be pretty high to be used on your return. Please see the instructions for Schedule A, itemized deductions. In order to use this, your expenses would have to surpass your standard deduction.
The standard deduction is so high now that 95% of people are taking the standard deduction.
