I'd recommend getting a physician's statement describing her medical
condition, and why the nursing home is necesary in treating her
condition.
So, assuming her stay in a nursing home is for necessary and
prescribed for medical reasons, all of the costs including food
(but excluding telephone and cable if billed separately) would
be deductible.
