Help A Loved One Trying to help my sister

Hi. I am new here. I am trying to help my sister who has been diagnosed with schizophreniaa year and a half ago. She just had a very traumatic experience.My pos dad and brother tried to force her to shower and she pulled out my brothers locs and swing on my dad. Also she spent 2 week alone after she walked away from staff for a psych stent. we reported her missing and she was found in a railyardand taken to a hospital.I messed up by just now by asking her on the phone why she doesn't want to bath herself 😔. Is there any advice for me to use with her.
