Meet The Manager
Kelly Hart is Home Manager at The Limes.
Welcome to The Limes, located in the market town of Driffield in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Home is a short walk from the town centre, easily accessible from the A614 and is well served by public transport
Each of our 97 ensuite bedrooms some of which are double occupancy and perfect for married couples is furnished to a high standard offering Residents the chance to enjoy comfort and tranquillity. At The Limes providing independence and choice is very important – One reason we try and encourage residents to personalise their rooms with their own belongings to help them feel at home.
We believe that life at The Limes should include the best care, the best of life in the best environment.
