Nov 17 (EUROPA PRESS) -Rosalynn Carter, the wife of former United States President Jimmy Carter, has started receiving palliative care at her home in Plains, Georgia, following a dementia diagnosis in May.

Jimmy Carter, who is also in a delicate state of health, began receiving palliative care in mid-February after several brief hospital stays. Carter, the 39th president of the United States, served in the White House from 1977 to 1981 and was subsequently defeated in his reelection bid by Ronald Reagan. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work and is recognized as the longest-living former U.S. president after leaving office.
