After a series of brief hospital visits, he made a significant decision to spend his remaining time at home, opting for hospice care over further medical treatment. Jason, one of Carter\u2019s grandsons, poignantly remarked:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandfather right now is really physically limited \u2014 he\u2019s coming to the end, as is obvious by the fact that he\u2019s been in hospice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, another grandson, Josh Carter, observed the stark realities of their situation, stating, \u201cOdds are I\u2019m gonna lose my grandfather before my grandmother. He\u2019s in hospice care and she\u2019s not, and it\u2019s just math.\u201d This candid admission reflects the family\u2019s emotional preparation for the inevitable.Despite these sobering insights, the situation holds a degree of uncertainty. While Josh\u2019s comments suggest that his grandfather might pass away before his grandmother, who turned 96 on August 18, recent news about her condition might change the situation.<\/p>\n<p>What Happened to Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rsd.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"943\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rsd.webp 768w, https:\/\/newzdiscover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rsd-244x300.webp 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A recent Twitter post by Jason Carter, shared on behalf of The Carter Center, reiterated the message from the formal statement regarding Rosalynn Carter entering hospice care.
