Former President Jimmy Carter Receives Hospice Care at Home with Family Support

Former US President Jimmy Carter has decided to receive hospice care at home with his family, according to a statement from The Carter Center on Saturday. The decision comes after a series of short hospital stays.

The Carter family has asked for privacy during this time and expressed gratitude for the concern shown by his many admirers. Carter, who turned 98 last year, became the oldest living US president in history after the passing of George H.W. Bush, who died in late 2018 at 94.

The statement from The Carter Center said that Carter has the full support of his family and his medical team. The former president has kept a low public profile in recent years due to the coronavirus pandemic but has continued to speak out about risks to democracy around the world, a longtime cause of his.

Jimmy Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. He is remembered for his work in promoting human rights, peace, and economic development. He has also been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work in advancing democracy and human rights.
