Bruce Williss Wife Starts Dementia Charity Amid Struggle

She said on the Conversations With Cam podcast: 'It is our second home, and it's a place where we make memories and that house supports Bruce's every need, 24/7 and our other home, where our kids are, now they're supported, now their needs are met and that's worked so well for us.'

She added that Willis has been 'thriving' in the new environment.

She also said that moving Willis into the home was 'one of the hardest decisions' during his health struggle.

'It did not come easy. Caregivers are faced with really hard decisions and we have to do what is the best for our family, what's the safest for our person.'

She added: 'Bruce wouldn't want his two young daughters to be clouded by his disease. I know that.'

'They weren't having sleepovers, play dates. We weren't inviting people over… it was a really hard time.'

Earlier she told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'Among the sadness and discomfort, it was the right move — for him, for our girls, for me. Ultimately, I could get back to being his wife. And that's such a gift.'

It has also given Bruce more freedom to reconnect with friends and family. She explained: 'It’s made such a difference for more friends and family to have their own experience with him without it being my home, without me hovering, or my anxiety of how to manage the guest and their expectations, and then have to see their reactions - their sadness at what is.'

In the same Conversations With Cam podcast interview, Heming said that her husband is not aware he has dementia.

In 2023, Willis's close-knit blended family - including his ex-wife Demi Moore, 63, and their daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 32 - publicly announced that he'd been diagnosed with FTD, a form of dementia that causes a rapid decline in the areas of the brain linked to personality and language abilities.

FTD eats away at the parts of the brain that control language, behavior and personality. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, patients don't lose their memory immediately but instead undergo personality changes.

The disease also attacks areas of the brain responsible for judgment, impulse control and decision-making, leaving patients vulnerable to mismanaging their finances, which adds an extra burden on to caregivers.

While the actor has stepped away from the spotlight, his family members have periodically updated fans on his condition.
