Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s grandson, Jason Carter, recently shared an update on his grandfather’s health ahead of his 100th birthday celebration. Despite being in hospice care since February 2023, Jimmy remains emotionally engaged and aware, though his physical health has declined. “He has really physically diminished, but he is emotionally engaged and still having experiences and laughing, loving,” Jason told *People* magazine.
Reflecting on his time in Plains, Jason noted, “It is the place that has given him the greatest support… there is no other place in the world that he would be at peace other than Plains.”
Despite his frailty, Jimmy continues to feel the love and support from his family and community, showing resilience and joy even in hospice care.
