Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who is 96 years old, has recently been placed under hospice care at her home in Georgia. Back in May, The Carter Center announced that Rosalynn Carter had been diagnosed with dementia, although no details were provided on when this diagnosis was made. Her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, has also been in hospice care at their home since February, having celebrated his 99th birthday just last month.
The Carter Center released a statement on behalf of Jason Carter, the Carters’ grandson, announcing that Rosalynn Carter has been placed in hospice care at home. The family has requested privacy as they spend time together. Rosalynn Carter played an active role in advocating for mental health research during her time as first lady, and was known for her dedication to various other important causes. Despite her diagnosis, she continues to receive love and support from well-wishers.
Former president Jimmy Carter had known that Rosalynn was the one for him after their first date, and the couple was married on July 7, 1946. They have since had four children together and remain together as they face health challenges. Throughout her time as first lady, Rosalynn Carter has advocated for important causes, taking her message abroad. Their love and dedication to each other and their causes have been cherished and supported by many, and the family remains grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have received.
