  • Life at Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter’s Plains, Georgia, home is “quiet and calm” these days, according to their grandson.
  • “My grandparents have always been the entertainers,” Josh Carter tells PEOPLE, reminiscing on how visits to see the former first couple were once filled with exciting stories and souvenirs from their world travels. “But now we’re kind of the ones having to entertain. It’s different, it’s just a different era.”
  • In February, the Carter Center announced that Jimmy, 98, had decided to cease medical intervention and enter hospice care “to spend his remaining time at home with his family.” Three months later, the Carters revealed that Rosalynn, now 96, has dementia.
