Do care home fees qualify for tax relief?

Question:

My 104-year-old mother has now gone into a care home. Is any tax relief available on her care home fees? 

Arthur Weller replies  

Generally, there is no tax relief for paying care home fees. However, you might want to look into: (a) attendance allowance, (b) funded nursing care, or (c) continuing healthcare funding.
