The Spanish term for asylum that is a direct cognate with English is asilo. This can have the connotation of political asylum or a general refuge. However, when used to refer to a facility for patients with mental illnesses and the like, the best fit for your question here would be the Spanish term manicomio. Hospicio (cognate with the English hospice but with a wider range of meanings than this word is really used for at present) is also used in Spanish more broadly to refer to a place of sanctuary.
