Former President Jimmy Carter turns 100 years old on Oct. 1 .

In February 2023 , Carter announced he would forgo further medical intervention and instead spend the remainder of his time in hospice care.

Experts say there's a lot that people get wrong about hospice.

The bulk of the day-to-day caregiving responsibilities remain with the family.

Carter ’s public disclosure about beginning hospice care has ignited conversations about end-of-life care.

“The hospice philosophy is to provide comfort and compassionate care for people living with terminal illness, for however long that may be,” Novas says.
