Is there any group homes or help out there?

There are group homes as well as other help available for those supporting the mentally ill. The government itself can often provide information. Additionally there are private organizations. As I do not know the region you are in, I cannot provide any more info. If you are in Canada, you can get support from cmha or in the US from nami. I wish you, your sister and your niece well.
