NAMI, or the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill is the best association for anything to do with the mentally ill. They will know of some group that be of use. Also, consider Alanon, Narcanon and Adult Children of Alcoholics groups - they all use twelve step programs for dealing with family members, living and dead, of mental illnesses.

Depending on where you live, there may be faith-based organizations or a state department of aging which sponsors help for the families of mentally ill older adults.
