Bruce Willis Moves to Care Home as Dementia Progresses

Emma Heming Willis has shared how moving her husband Bruce Willis, who is battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), into a separate home with 24/7 professional care has been the best decision for their family. This arrangement has allowed Bruce more independence and enabled Emma to transition from being his full-time carer back to being his wife, which she describes as a precious gift. The move also benefits their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, who have adapted to their father's condition and visit him regularly, though they still miss him deeply. Emma revealed that Bruce and she have developed their own unique way of communicating as his disease progresses, underscoring the emotional toll of FTD. She emphasized that the changes have allowed friends and family to engage with Bruce without the stress and anxiety that previously accompanied visits at their family home. Despite the sadness and challenges, Emma maintains that the decision to move Bruce into a separate home was necessary for the well-being of everyone involved.
