The house may not be elder-safe in terms of fall hazards and so on, the family may not have the ability to afford a home nurse or to have someone unemployed acting as a carer, carer burnout is a real danger and can break families, the grandparent may have specialised medical needs that require skilled care that is not available in a household setting, one or more family members may be involved in high covid risk jobs that make it inappropriate to host a vulnerable person... I'm sure there are many more good reasons, these are just a few off the top of my head.
