my father was in a Hospice facility at his end of life. Is the room and board for the Hospice facility tax deductible?

[Critter-3]

Yes they are medical expenses if he itemizes deductions. 

[Cynthiad66]

Yes, the amount you paid for nursing services while in hospice care can be included in figuring your medical expense deduction. The following explanation is taken from IRS Pub. 502 Medical and Dental Expenses. You can include in medical expenses wages and other amounts you pay for nursing services

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.
