Bruce Willis' Wife Defends Separate Care Home Amid Dementia Battle

Emma Heming Willis has publicly defended her decision to move her husband, Bruce Willis, into a separate home to receive professional care amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia, emphasizing it was the safest option for both Bruce and their two young daughters. Speaking on Good Morning America and promoting her new book, Heming Willis acknowledged the judgment she has faced but stressed that dementia care varies by family and that ensuring Bruce's needs are met 24/7 is paramount. She revealed that a neurologist's warning about caregivers sometimes dying before their loved ones served as her wake-up call to seek help and reject feelings of failure. Heming Willis highlighted the unfair judgment caregivers often face and hopes her book will support others in similar situations. Bruce Willis, diagnosed in 2023, now lives in a second home with a full-time care team while Heming Willis remains nearby with their daughters. She firmly stated that the decision is not open for debate, as it prioritizes the safety and well-being of her family.
