Politicians are reacting to former President Jimmy Carter entering hospice care, saying that he’s a “model of kindness, generosity.”
Carter will spend his “remaining time” in his Georgia home receiving hospice care, according to a statement from the Carter Center on Saturday.
“After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention,” a statement from the organization reads. “He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.”
Carter turned 98 in October. He served as the 39th President of the United States.
