It was simply known as the infirmary.
Besides preserving manuscripts, the monks taught better methods of agriculture, cared for the poor and the sick, and conducted church activities.
Monks and nuns contributed to the Middle Ages in many ways. One way was to care for the sick and poor. Another way was to build schools and teach at schools.

Monks belonged to the Church and were subject to Canon Law, not the King's law. This meant that if they committed a very serious crime they could only be tried by a bishop and the penalty did not include death - in practice, monks would not normally be tried at all but punished within their monastic community by the head of the monastery. Otherwise they were "privileged" by having regular meals guaranteed every day, a place to sleep, an education, a life away from the sins and temptations of the world and less chance of becoming sick - and a dedicated infirmary to look after them if they did become ill. This infirmary was also a place for them to be cared for in old age.
Generally speaking, monks and nuns lived in monasteries or convents, and did very much the same sorts of things other people did in terms of raising food, cleaning, cooking, and so on. They did not have families, but spent their time in prayer and devotion instead. Many monks and nuns worked at specialized jobs, and there was a wide range of these from tending the sick and making medicine, to making cheese or wine, copying books, singing in choirs, educating people, and providing inns for pilgrims and other travelers, protecting travelers on the road, and even fighting wars.
