Can I use Depedant day care for elderly parent care?

I am new at this, can I use dependent day care expenses for an elderly parent if I am claming him as a dependant, he is living with us and care is required?

As long as the care is so that you and/or your spouse can be gainfully employed, then the answer is *yes* -- you already mentioned having satisfied the other requirements in your post.
