Feminist research on community care is concerned with women's position in the family. Such research has failed to take on the reality and the interests of those groups of people who receive 'care'. This had led some feminists to conclude that non-sexist forms of community care are impossible and to advocate new forms of institutional care as an alternative. Disabled people experience such research as oppressive and alienating. Research which incorporated the subjective reality of disabled people would ask different questions but, although rejecting institutional care, would still support feminism's rejection of the way that 'community care' too often means 'family care'.

Reports on the findings of a research which looked at the support needs of people with physical impairments who also have mental health and their experiences of both types of services. The study was carried out by Jenny Morris in partnership with Mind for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. The research found that people experienced significant barriers to getting their needs met and that there was little communication between mental health and physical disability services. Individual workers could make a difference, but they were struggling against barriers themselves.
