Bruce Willis, 70, who suffers from frontotemporal dementia, has moved into a care home near his family. His wife Emma Heming Willis, 47, revealed in an ABC special that this was “one of the hardest decisions” of her life, but one she felt Bruce would have wanted for the sake of their daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
He now receives round-the-clock professional care, while his family visits him regularly to share meals, watch movies, and spend quality time together.
Emma said Bruce is still physically healthy and mobile, but his speech is fading. “It’s just his brain that’s failing him. The language is disappearing,” she explained, adding that the family has found new ways to communicate with him.
Despite the challenges, she described his new home as one filled with love, warmth, care, and laughter, supported by friends who continue to bring joy into his life.
