    Since this type of care is not medical in nature, it would only be deductible if related to or required as part of treatment for a medical condition.  Assistance with such things as cooking or light housekeeping is not deductible.  Any medically related in=home care is only deductible as a medical expense, and, as such, only any amount over 7.5% of your Adjusted gross Income could be taken as part of your itemized deductions.  Even if all your medical deductions exceed 7.5% of your AGI, the total of ALL itemized deductions would have to exceed your standard deduction.
