Remodelled shop freezes over places of refuge (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hospices

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

'over places of refuge' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'remodelled shop freezes' is the wordplay.
'remodelled' is an anagram indicator.
'freezes' becomes 'ices' (I've seen this before).
'shop' with letters rearranged gives 'hosp'.
'hosp'+'ices'='HOSPICES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hospices that I've seen before include "Homes for the terminally ill" , "Places for the care of the terminally ill" , "care homes" .)
