Can an older home cause arsenic poison? family of 5, all presenting w/ different chronic ailments. wondering if our home is making us sick?

Not likely: Arsenic poisoning most classically results from ground water poisoning. Which makes it very unlikely to occur if you have municipal based water delivery, but also still unlikely even if you have your own well, as usually you'll share the same aquifer with others around you, and they would likely have similar symptoms.
