‘He’s an inspiration’: tributes pour in after Jimmy Carter enters hospice care

Oldest living US president opted to spend his ‘remaining time’ at home, statement by the Carter Center says

Tributes continue to be made to the former US president Jimmy Carter, after the announcement that the 98-year-old has entered hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia, instead of receiving “additional” medical treatment.

Raphael Warnock, the Democratic Georgia senator, said: “Across life’s seasons, President Jimmy Carter, a man of great faith, has walked with God. In this tender time of transitioning, God is surely walking with him.”
