Rosalynn Carter, Former First Lady of the United States, Diagnosed with Dementia

Rosalynn Carter, at 95 years old, is spending her time at home alongside Jimmy Carter, the former President of the United States, who has also been under home hospice care since early this year. According to the Associated Press, the family conveyed through the Carter Center—a global humanitarian organization established by the couple in 1982 after leaving the White House—that: "She continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying the beauty of spring in the fields and visiting with her loved ones." The family also noted in their statement that Rosalynn Carter has dedicated much of her life to supporting individuals and families affected by mental health issues. The Carter family message stated: "Mrs. Carter often points out that there are only four types of people in this world: those who have cared, those who are currently caring, those who will care, and those who need care. The universality of care in our family is evident, and we experience the joys and challenges of this journey of life together." Earlier, the Carter Center announced that Jimmy Carter decided to forgo further medical treatment and opt for home care. Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, chose to spend his remaining time at home with his family after a brief hospital stay in February.
