A home or house for something tasteful (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hospice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a home' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'house for something tasteful' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'house' could be 'ho' (abbreviation for house) and 'ho' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'spice' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hospice that I've seen before include "Home for the care of the terminally ill" , "Ice shop (anag.)" , "Nursing home" , "Religious lodging" , "Home providing care for the sick" .)
