Looks like as long as it is for medical reasons they are all deducible:
Nursing home expenses are allowable as medical expense tax deductions on your tax return in certain instances. If you, your spouse, or your dependent is in a nursing home or home for the aged, and the primary reason for being there is for medical care, the entire cost, including meals and lodging, is a medical expense and is tax deductible on your tax return. If the individual is in the home mainly for personal reasons, then only the cost of the actual medical care is a medical expense and tax deductible on your tax return, and the cost of the meals and lodging is not tax deductible on your tax return.
