Hi everyone!
"Thomas's bare room in the COUNTY HOME in Baltinglass". This sentence is describing the setting of a play. I think it refers to a "madhouse", but I'm not entirely sure. Can you help me please? Thanks!

I'm afraid that "county home" exists in English. It's just that I'm not sure about the translation into Spanish. :)
