This is another good question for the certified eldercare attorney you are going to consult.
Do you claim mom as a dependent on your taxes?
MOM can deduct some of memory care as a medical expense.
Why would YOU pay for your mother's care? Don't you need that money for YOUR retirement?

I really think this is a question for a tax attorney or a tax CPA.

You really need to contact an elder care lawyer to find out.
