Can I deduct an elderly parent who now lives with me?

Elderly parent caregiver credit.

Possibly. If they meet the criteria to be claimed as a qualifying relative, then yes  you can claim the Other Dependent Credit.  There is not an elderly parent caregiver credit.  

To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be:

• Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws
• Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year
• Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer
• Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year
• Has less than $5,050 in income (not counting social security)
