I provided dependent care for both parents as their caregiver. Father had Alzheimers & mother recovering from cancer. Can I receive any credit for being their caregiver?

No. There are no credits for taking care of your parents.

However, if you financially provide over half of their support, then you may be able to claim them as dependents, if they do not receive more than $5,050 in income not counting social security.
