Located near "Lock 7" in the picturesque community of Thorold, Ontario on the banks of the Welland Canal, Cobblestone Gardens and the original Chestnut Court was first utilized as a rest home in 1984. Under new ownership (Alert Care) in 1986, plans were underway for an expansion and in 1989 a 44-suite retirement residence was unveiled. The current owners, Mundi Holdings, continued to improve the care and services and were quickly recognized for quality and community leadership. With a strong foundation and increased customer demand in Thorold, Mundi Holdings acquired the adjacent property in 2006, with plans to vastly improve the resident common areas in addition to increasing the capacity to 68 rooms.
