Rent for memory care facility

[P002122]

my mother has been diagnosed with advanced dementia and needs 24 care in a facility . The monthly rent includes all costs for her care . Is this deductible ?

To the extent the costs are necessary for medical care, they would be deductible as a medical itemized deduction to the extent she was not reimbursed for the expenses. Since you mention she needs 24 hour care, it is likely the expenses are necessary for medical care. You can see this IRS article to learn more.
