With that circumstance I'd consider it medical and formalize the rental
arrangemnt, etc. I would still recommend consulting w/ an expert in
elder care but would feel no compunction this would be legitimate
corollary, nothing approaching fraud. Hence, if it were audited, it
might get rejected but I'd see no way they could make anything more than
that out of it. Of course I'm not a professional, just comparing two
forms of the same thing and there's nothing that says that tax law is
necessarily rational... :(
