This paper focused on the environmental transfer and terminal care of the resident living in a group living for dementia. The purpose of the study is to clarify the importance of continuity of the residential and care environment from the point of two aspects. It is expected to give some suggestions or hints for what a group living should be in a system of residential facilities for the elderly. Two surveys were practiced for the purpose. One is a longitudinal follow-up observation survey on two cases transferred from group living to institutional nursing home. This result showed how the transfer impacted to the residents and how important the environment of group living for the people with dementia. Another survey is on the attitude and actual conditions of the terminal care for the residents living in a group living using method of questionnaire survey to all the group livings in July 2000. The result showed the difficult condition of group livings for playing a place for terminal care in view of present state of system. On the other hand, many group livings hope to work as a place where residents can live as long as possible. Therefore, the public support system for terminal care in group livings is needed to be prepared without delay.
