Is an assisted living care facility expense deductible if patient is unable to care for himself due to dementia?

Yes, you can include in medical expenses the cost of medical care in a nursing home, home for the aged, or similar institution, for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents. This includes the cost of meals and lodging in the home if a principal reason for being there is to get medical care.
