Jimmy Carter's Faith and Stubbornness Credited for His Longevity at 100

The former president, in hospice care for nearly two years, continues to defy expectations with resilience and family support.

Jimmy Carter, who turned 100 in October, has been in hospice care since February 2023, surpassing his family's initial expectations of only days or weeks to live.
His grandson, Jason Carter, attributes his longevity to a combination of deep Christian faith and an unyielding stubbornness that has defined his life.
The former president remains engaged on his good days, discussing politics and world events, though he spends most days resting and less active.
Carter cast a ballot for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election, demonstrating his continued interest in political matters.
The loss of his wife, Rosalynn Carter, in November 2023 has deeply affected him, but he remains surrounded by family, love, and support in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
