When you have an elderly parent who is in a crisis, is it a foregone assumption that family members will be arguing over the best course of action?

Like, an elderly 86 year old falls and has to go in the hospital. He’s lived by himself for many years in the house he built 60 years ago….and it’s crystal clear to some that he can’t live there by himself any more, but others disagree.
Or it appears that a parent might be developing Alzheimer’s. That’s a whole can of worms that can go on for years, with some family members wanting to take one course of action, others wanting to at least consider other courses.
It can almost lead to blows, and possible permanent fracturing of the family.
Would this/has this happened in your family? Is it almost certain to happen in every family?
