More than a year after the former president entered hospice care, Jimmy Carter’s grandson gave an update on his condition.

Speaking on Tuesday at the 28th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum, Jason Carter provided the update.

Jason stated, “(My grandfather) is doing OK. He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end that, that — as I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him. And there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end, and I think he has been there in that space.”

After George H.W. Bush passed away in 2018 at the age of 94, the former president took the record for the oldest sitting president.

He has overcome multiple health scares, including brain surgery after a fall in 2019, liver cancer, and metastatic brain cancer.

Following several hospital stays, Jimmy Carter, now 99 years old, decided to accept hospice care at his longtime Plains, Georgia home in February 2023. After his 96-year-old wife Rosalynn Carter passed away in November 2023, he made an unusual public appearance.
