Jimmy Carter will start getting hospice care at home.

 The Carter Center announced on Saturday that former US President Jimmy Carter will start receiving hospice care at his home in Georgia.

“Former US President Jimmy Carter made the decision today to spend the remainder of his time at home with his family and receive hospice care rather than further medical attention after a string of brief hospital hospitalisations. He has the complete backing of his family and medical staff “The declaration read.

The former president’s grandson, Jason Carter, a former Democratic state legislator from Georgia, said of his grandparents on Friday that “they are at peace and — as always — their home is full of love.”
