Opts for hospice care

On February 18, 2023, the Carter Center announced that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, then 98 years old, had chosen to enter hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia. This decision followed a series of short hospital stays and reflected his wish to spend his remaining time surrounded by family, receiving comfort-oriented care rather than pursuing further medical interventions for an unspecified illness. The Transition to Hospice Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and quality of life during a person’s final days. For Carter, it was an opportunity to spend time with Rosalynn, his wife of nearly 77 years, and their close-knit family in the town where his remarkable journey began. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #JimmyCarter #LegacyOfLeadership #HumanitarianHero #PresidentialHistory
