My husband paid the facility for his mother memory care. Can the Memory Care facility be a "qualified charity ?

Employee

No. Your MIL's memory care unit it not a charity. It is a health care facility. Money paid on your MIL's behalf is not a charitable donation. If your MIL is your dependent then you may be able to enter the memory care unit expenses as medical expenses.

Did you claim her as a dependent?

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:
