Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, was moved to hospice care 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,” the Carter Center said in a statement on Saturday.
Carter, who turned 98 in October, served as president from 1977 to 1981.
