ATLANTA — The Rev. Tony Lowden recently visited former President Jimmy Carter at his Plains home. where he is under hospice care. Carter, who turns 100 on Oct. 1, was doing “Good. Fantastic,” said Lowden, who has been the former president’s personal pastor for the past seven years. Few would have expected such news about Carter, who has been under home hospice care for roughly 19 months. Just 10% of people on Medicare who died while under hospice care had length of stays of 275 days or longer in 2022, according to MedPAC, an independent congressional agency that advises the U.S.
