Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has entered hospice care at home, the Carter Center said in a statement Friday.

“She and President Carter are spending time with each other and their family,” her son, former state Sen. Jason Carter, said in a statement released by the Carter Center.

Rosalynn Carter, 96, was diagnosed with dementia in May and joins her husband, former President Jimmy Carter, in hospice care. The former president, 99 years old, is the longest-lived president in American history and entered hospice care at home in February after a series of short hospital stays. They have been married for over 75 years.
