  -> Dík Michale!

neutral  Gerry Vickers: I'll change to neutral - but this term isn't appropriate in this context, unless it really IS referring to an 'asylum house' as described above, i.e. a place where fallen women were sent to work, that is!

  -> Hello Gerry, what about to edit ...

agree  Yvetteb (X): I think this is the closest term although I would say just "asylum". However, in the US today, the word asylum has been replaced by more specific terms such as nursing home, psychiatric hospital, shelter, etc.
