Former US President Jimmy Carter has decided to stop receiving hospital care and move to his home in Georgia to receive end-of-life care.

The Carter Center said the former president preferred to spend “the rest of his life with his family,” but would not say what motivated the decision.

Carter, 98, suffers from health problems, including skin cancer. The cancer has also spread to the liver and brain.

The oldest living former US president served as president of the United States for one term, from 1977 to 1981.
