Family member: 98 year old former US President Carter has entered the "End of Life Chapter" in the United States | Entered | Josh | Accepted | Rosaline | End of Life Care | Life | Carter
According to US media reports such as the website of The Capitol Hill and The New York Post on the 20th, Josh, the grandson of former US President Jimmy Carter, revealed that her 98 year old grandfather and 96 year old grandmother Rosalind are in the "last chapter" of their lives. In February of this year, Carter decided to receive end-of-life care at home after a series of brief hospitalization treatments.
In an article published in People magazine on the 19th, Josh stated that there has always been someone accompanying the Carter couple at home. "He is almost 99 years old, but he fully understands how much blessings he has received and feels love." Rosalind also understands that she has dementia. "To a large extent, she still knows who we are and can remember new things." Josh said that the entire Carter family is preparing for anything that may happen in the future. "It is obvious that they have entered the final chapter of life, and I may lose my grandfather before losing my grandmother because he is receiving end-of-life care, and Rosalind did not.".
Carter was elected as the 39th President of the United States in 1976, and is currently the oldest living President of the United States. Carter faced a series of health issues in 2019 after recovering from brain cancer in 2015. The Carter Center stated in February this year that Carter will spend the remaining time at home with his family and receive end-of-life care in the future. In addition, Carter's wife Rosaline was diagnosed with dementia in May and is currently staying at home with Carter.
