    Can I claim the monthly costs for a Special Care Home? My spouse was put into a Special Care Home in 2017. Do I claim the dependent care?

    But where, he is entitled to the disability amount and the calculation for attendant care expenses in a nursing home.  Don't see anywhere those numbers can be entered.  Must I find a form that does this?

    You enter your attendant care expenses under - Deduction- Medical expenses.
