Does a senior care independent living apartment count as medical facility?

[LindaS5247 · Accepted solution]

No, a senior care independent living apartment is generally not considered a medical facility or licensed health care facility. 

These apartments focus on things such as lifestyle, convenience, and social gatherings rather than providing medical or nursing care. Also, they are typically not regulated by state health departments. 

If the facility is a "Continuing Care  Retirement Community" or it provides specific, pre-paid medical services, some of the fees may be deductible as qualified medical expenses.
