Bruce Willis Relocated to Nearby Home for 24/7 Care as Frontotemporal Dementia Progresses

Emma Heming Willis says the relocation prioritizes their daughters’ stability given his worsening language abilities.

Overview

  • Emma Heming Willis says the family visits frequently for breakfasts and dinners, and he continues to recognize close relatives, including his wife and daughters.
  • His speech is fading, prompting the family to adopt alternate ways to communicate and focus on maintaining connection.
  • Heming Willis describes his overall physical health and mobility as relatively preserved and refutes recent reports that he could no longer speak or walk.
