Rosalynn Carter, a former first lady, is 95 years old and has dementia. The Carter family made the statement on Tuesday, as her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, is receiving palliative care at their Plains, Georgia, home.

Rosalynn Carter, 95, “continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying springtime in Plains and visits from loved ones,” the Carter Center said in a press release, according to NBC News.

The statement notes that “Mrs. Carter has been the nation’s leading mental health advocate for much of her life, improving access to care and reducing the stigma around mental health issues.”

Dementia, a disorder that affects general mental health, affects one in ten older Americans. We acknowledge, as she did more than 50 years ago, that stigma frequently acts as a roadblock to people and their families seeking and receiving critical care.

The Carter Center expressed that it hoped that by sharing this information, vital conversations will be sparked around dinner tables and in doctor’s waiting rooms across the nation.

Jimmy Carter, who is 98 years old, is the oldest former president of the United States. The former president, who had a number of health issues, including cancer, made the decision to undergo palliative care at home and pass away in the company of loved ones, according to a statement released by his family on February 18.

The oldest presidential marriage in history, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s 76-year union is the longest in history. They had been in love since the conclusion of World War II, despite the difficulties of political life. Rosalynn Carter enhanced the First Lady’s position.
