If the person had private pay for nursing facilities can that be deducted?

Nursing home expenses are generally tax deductible as a medical expense if they are not reimbursed by insurance. I presume by "private pay", that the expenses were paid by the patient and not reimbursed.

Nursing homes will provide a detailed accounting of the expenses incurred. Medical and housing expenses would be deductible. There are a few things that would not be, such as barber services.
