If I am caring for a parent in my home, do “Elder Care” expenses qualify under dependent care, i.e. a daily care facility program?
A. Yes, elder care is an eligible dependent care expense. Your elder dependent cannot be able to care for himself/herself, and must have your home as their primary residence. A daily facility is eligible, assisted living is not. Assisted living does not fall under the Health FSA because medical services are not being provided.
