Suggest Treatment For Conversion Disorder

Its hard to explain but my sister who is 53 year old has been in 13 nursing homes and in the state hospital right now in witcha falls ,, she is thinks the devils out to get her at ever turn, she thinks nurses are killing her. she accuses most men of raping her even in the nursing homes, she is combative ,argumentative, she can not see well at all now ,, it is heart wrenching. She was in good health till about 6-7 years ago. She was a respiratory therapist and was great at her job. we are desperate to find help for her . One doctor said she had conversion disorder but with other underlining problems we really need a mayo clinic to help her save her . Can you recommend any one or place we can write to
