You can deduct it as medical expenses if its main purpose is medical care for you, your spouse, or your dependents. However, If you itemize, you can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount of your adjusted gross income.

If it is a capital improvement that adds value to your home, you won't be able to deduct it. It can be added to the cost basis of your home and subtracted from the sales price to determine the amount of your profit when you sell it.
