Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary with friends at Plains High School, within the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park in Plains, Georgia, U.S. July 10, 2021.
Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has dementia, the Carter family said Tuesday.
The announcement, which was released by the Carter Center, comes as Carter's husband, former President Jimmy Carter, is receiving hospice care at their home in Plains, Georgia.
In February, the Carter Center announced that Jimmy Carter, 98, had begun receiving hospice care at home.
Jimmy Carter is the oldest living former president and was the first president born in a hospital.
