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'.
