Abstract
It has been taken for granted that Chinese communities in Hong Kong would have an extended family or large kinship network to render such ‘care in the community.’ This exploratory study was conducted in a community based rehabilitation project. A great majority of disabled elderly people's informal caring networks were limited. Although they were physically ‘in the community’, they had limited access to timely care from their family members, friends and neighbours. More active roles as ‘brokers’ linking the disabled and elderly to community support services and ‘facilitators’ informal self-help groups are suggested.
