Background: The group home is one of the dementia care model and many studies have been discussed for this issue. However, the effectiveness of group home is different because of different research designed or method limitations (e.g. no measurement of long-term outcomes, and the lack of a control group). Therefore, the effectiveness of group home currently has not complete evaluation in clinical practice. Purpose: The aim of this study was to appraisal critically the effectiveness of group home of group home for caring the elderly with dementia.

Keywords including dementia, Alzheimer's disease and group home were keyed in and the search was limited to articles published before June 2012. Literature search and quality assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers. A total of 608 articles that matched search criteria were extracted. The quality assessment was assessed by using modified Jadad Scale.
Results: Eleven articles met study inclusion criteria. The quality score of the 11 studies was between 1 and 3. Patients with dementia living group home in their daily living activity, walking ability and quality of life were better than other long-term care institutions.

The rates of survival and hospitalization for different care model have not significant difference in cognitive status and problem behaviors for three-year follow-up.
