In modern times, this certainly should have happened before. However, before that, I don’t know about Roman culture but in many places in the old days, the disabled stayed home mostly. ( I learned that from a disability rights seminar years ago, so your recollection of history could differ).
Jesus went looking for the down and out.
He told us to go out into the highways and byways and bring in those who could not repay us.
Even if they stayed home, there’s no reason to not seek them out. That’s what’s supposed to make Christianity different.
