It is Carter's second fall this month and third this year.
In May, Carter fell on his way to go turkey hunting and had surgery to repair a broken hip.
Carter once again fell on Oct. 6, which left him with a black eye and multiple stitches. But that didn't keep him from attending the kick-off to a Habitat for Humanity the next day in Nashville.
The former president celebrated his 95th birthday on Oct. 1.
