Visas for Adult Dependent Relatives (ADR) seem to be the most difficult ones to obtain.

Further to the advice above, since the Immigration Rules were tightened in July 2012, very few of the applications for an Adult Dependent visa application have succeeded. Of those that have, many of these were only granted following a long and costly appeal through the Courts.
If an ADR application is submitted and refused, you would be closing the door for obtaining a visitor visa in the future, due to their prior intention to settle in the UK.
Read through the information in the gov.uk link given in the previous post and you will see the extremely strict criteria required for both your parents to meet.

The UK really does not do chain family immigration.

About the only family members that non-EEA British citizens can sponsor are one spouse and children under the age of 18. And even for them, the requirements, such as the Minimum Income Requirement, are relatively pretty high.

My parents are quite old reaching 69 year old age

69 may not be seen as old in the UK, given that the state pension age is 67, possibly going up to 68 soon and people are being encouraged to continue working even past that age.

I...can only support financially

The test for Adult Dependent Relatives (any non-spousal family member over the age of 18) is two-fold.

(a) that they need help with carrying out daily tasks, such as bathing, cooking, etc, AND,

(b) that such help is either unavailable or unaffordable in their country of habitual residence.

Given that you are able to support them financially in their country of habitual residence with accessing such help, they would not meet the second criteria.

Assuming that your parents live together, it would be expected that they can also help each other.

And your siblings are unlikely to meet requirement (a) above.
