Remembering former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a true champion for caregivers. ♥️

“As Mrs. Carter famously said, ‘there are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.’ Her point was that caregiving is a nearly universal experience. It will affect all of us at some point in our lives. She recognized – long before most of us – that caregivers serve as the backbone of this country and they are in crisis.”

– Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving

We are heartbroken by the loss of our founder, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. She was a lifelong champion for and will remain an inspiration to us all.
