Can the costs to convert a home bathroom to handicap accessible be deducted

My Mom previously fell and broke a bone in her leg while climbing the steps.  The doctor suggested we convert the guest bathroom downstairs to a handicap accessible bathroom and convert the office to a bedroom, so Mom could move downstairs, rather than climbing the steps.  Are the conversion costs deductible?   Do we need a letter from the doctor saying the handicap conversion was medically necessary to be deductible?
