Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia and continues to live at home with her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, their family announced in a statement issued by the Carter Center on Tuesday. 

The former first lady is 95, and the statement did not say when she was given the diagnosis. The former president has been receiving hospice care at the couple's longtime home in Georgia since February.

"The Carter family is sharing that former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia," the Carter Center said. "She continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains and visits with loved ones."
