The original Menno Home, built where the South Wing is now located, was opened in 1954 and served 35 residents.

The facility grew over the years as the Society undertook additions and renovations to the buildings until Menno Home reached its present capacity of 196 residents. There was also a transition in the type of care being provided: from basic room and board as a "Retirement Home" to 24-hour nursing care as an "Intermediate Care Facility" with operational funding through the British Columbia Ministry of Health.

The buildings that comprise today’s Menno Home were constructed in three main phases: 87 beds completed in 1971, 83 beds completed in 1974 and 26 beds completed in 1990. With its concrete main floor structure and terrazzo floors, Menno Home was built with durability in mind. Over the years, many upgrades have been undertaken to accommodate the increased complexity of resident care needs.
