    As per CRA: You can claim as medical expenses the amounts you or your spouse or common-law partner paid for attendant care or care in a facility. The expenses must have been paid for the care of any of the following persons:

    • yourself
    • your spouse or common-law partner
    • your dependant

    A dependant is someone who depended on you for support and is any of the following persons:

    • your or your spouse or common-law partner's child or grandchild
    • your or your spouse or common-law partner's parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece who lived in Canada at any time in the year.

    Please see the CRA:  what all you can claim when in a retirement home found here: Attendant care.
