Our History

Larga Baffin opened its doors on April 17, 2000 with 5 staff welcoming 22 residents into our 24 bed facility on Russell Road.

In 2009 we moved to1071 Richmond Road which had 40 rooms and 81 beds. The demand for medical care has exceeded our ability to provide the required accommodation and support services. By necessity, guests were required to be accommodated in nearby hotels adversely impacting our ability to meet our client’s needs in a homelike atmosphere.

In Nov 2015, we moved to 2716 Richmond Road where we can accommodate clients and patient escorts in the 104 rooms and up to 190 clients. We are often providing services to upwards of 300 Clients utilizing our partner Hotels while providing the same services and care.
