We live in a Continuing Care Retirement Community. A significant portion of monthly fee is for long term care - where do I enter this?

We are a married couple filing jointly. I understand this is a legitimate deduction under Medical expense. Where specifically do I enter this amount?

Anywhere in the Sch A medical expenses section will work since the IRS only sees the total of the medical expenses as one amount ... all those separate screens in the program is for YOUR benefit only.
