Jimmy Carter's grandson says "he's going to be 99 in October" despite entering hospice care

Three months after entering end-of-life care at home, former President Jimmy Carter remains in good spirits as he visits with family, follows public discussion of his legacy and receives updates on The Carter Center's humanitarian work around the world, his grandson says. He's even enjoying regular servings of ice cream.

"They're just meeting with family right now, but they're doing it in the best possible way: the two of them together at home," Jason Carter said of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, now 98 and 95 years old.

"They've been together 70-plus years. They also know that they're not in charge," the younger Carter said Tuesday in a brief interview. "Their faith is really grounding in this moment. In that way, it's as good as it can be."
