Associated Press  

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia, after a series of short hospital stays. The Carter Center said in a statement Saturday that Carter, 98, “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.” WHAT IS HOSPICE CARE? Hospice care is treatment designed to make patients comfortable and to reduce pain and suffering in their final days. It is unclear what led to Carter’s decision to enter hospice care, but within the past several years he has been treated for metastatic skin cancer and for injuries from falls.
