Comon sense

This extended family is going through some very hard times. There are 5 sets of families and each has their own problems. They've lost alot. Three business between them, so the bills are piling up due to no funds to pay them.
The oldest family is in their 70's and 80's and are on a waiting list for an assisted living environment. Not for health reasons, but for the everyday things that are getting harder to do.
My family lives with my in-laws, fun, fun, but that's another story or stories should I say that would intrigue to no end saved for another day.
The house we live in is huge, no shit, there's seven bathrooms. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom, and one of them is set for the handicapped, and so is the rest of the house for wheel chair access.
Aunt Hazel was living with them when they built the house, so it was designed with intention of ease in taking care of her. Anyway, needless to say our family could accommodate our oldest family easily and ease their own burden while there doing it, but the idea has been shot down.
I just can't figure out why.
Common sense says it's the thing to do.
It's hard to watch suffering when you can see a solution and you know it makes sense all the way around.
