I f I live in my sons home but doesn't live in it, pays all the bills and claims me as a dependent does he qualify for an exemption

This is a CPA question. Do hire one or go online to ask the question.
The rules for claiming a senior as an exemption hinges on how much of the senior's living costs you pay. Go online for information for IRS rules by typing into search bar:
"Rules for claiming senior as dependent".
This is but one of many things you will find online:

"Steps to Claiming an Elderly Parent as a Dependent
Income limitation Your parent must first meet income requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service to be claimed as your dependent. To qualify as a dependent, ...

Support requirement You must have provided more than half of your parent's support during the tax year in order to claim them as a dependent. ...

Deducting medical expenses ...
Dependent care credit ..." and etc.

Between doing your own research on this issue for your federal and state government and consulting a good accountant or CPA at tax time you should get answers for your own particular case.
Remember, when you are dealing with medical, financial and legal issues you need EXPERT help, not the advice of a Forum full of folks with "experiences". You cannot afford to go wrong.
Good luck.
