“We hope that sharing this news will help to talk more about this important subject. Former First Lady of the United States Rosalynn Carter has a neurodegenerative disorder, her family announced on Tuesday, when her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, is in palliative care at home.
At 95, Rosalynn Carter “continues to live happily at home with her husband” in the city of Plains, Georgia, the family said in a statement, praising her work in the field of mental health. “We hope that sharing this news will lead to more talk about this important topic around the family table and in doctors’ offices across the country,” she added.
Jimmy Carter in palliative care
In February, the Carter Foundation announced that the 98-year-old former Democratic president was in palliative care at home, where he wanted to “spend the time he has left” after a series of hospitalizations.
Jimmy Carter occupied the White House from 1977 to 1981 and served only one term as president. In 2002, he received the Nobel Peace Prize, in particular for “his decades of tireless efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts”.
