We have less beds per capita now than in the 1950s, despite having 150 or so million people. The system we have now is worse for everyone involved, and existentially makes the caretaker role an unpaid position filled by a family member, though some states do help pay for an in-home caretaker.

Read the book Crazy to get good insight into the struggles of someone that loves a mentally ill person and the hurdles they have to go through to get treatment to them.
It addresses a lot of interesting aspects, including what Legend said above about these poor souls getting dumped into the prison system.
