care of the disabled

If social welfare is clearly the context, then I think this term corresponds more closely to the Finnish one. If the context is not otherwise clear, Marju's suggestion or "social care of the disabled" might be a better option.

Disability care, disability services

Näitä käytetään myös, riippuu tietysti kontekstista. Disability services on sitten enemmän vammaispalvelujen puolelle menevä termi.
