• Hi Richard, I am new to this topic. A family member was diagnosed stage III cancer last month. Our family is putting together a care plan. Very glad to read your article! I have a question on the “institution” or “facility” you mentioned in this article, does it have to be Medicare approved providers (listed on Medicare.gov)? There is a senior living community near our house, they combine all three levels of care - independent living, assisted living, and nursing home in one setting. This facility is not listed on the Medicare website. Would Medicare cover some of the costs in this facility if our parent meets the ADL requirement? Would the medical component of the costs qualify for tax deductions? Thanks a lot, Ying
