Former President Jimmy Carter, at 99, has been in hospice care for a year and remains spirited according to his grandson.

Carter has demonstrated remarkable resilience, surviving metastatic brain and liver cancer.

The Carter family appreciates the support and respect for their privacy, particularly after Rosalynn Carter's recent passing.

The Carters' experience has fostered national dialogue on hospice care, challenging end-of-life stigmas.

Increased attention on hospice care underscores its value in providing comfort to patients and families in final stages of life.
