Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia, her family announced Tuesday.
Carter, now 95, remains at home with former President Jimmy Carter, 98, who has been at home receiving hospice care since early this year.
"Mrs. Carter often noted that there are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers; those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers," the family statement reads. "We are experiencing the joy and the challenges of this journey."
The family has not disclosed any specific diagnosis for either the former president or the former first lady. The statement Tuesday said the Carter family would have no further comment. After their White House years, Rosalynn Carter continued her mental health advocacy at The Carter Center, and she travelled extensively with her husband as part of their work promoting democracy globally and fighting disease in the developing world.
