ward tower
Danes use the word "tårn" in places where it would not be used in English. It does refer to a building of course, but it does not necessarily have to be very tall. A ward building with, for example, 5-6 floors, could be called a tower. Some are quite tall, like the "bogtårnet" at Statsbiblioteket in Aarhus, maybe 10 floors, I am not sure.

in-patient tower
I believe it refers to a tall building where patients have their rooms.
