About
Alderley Clubhouse: Your Everyday Luxury
Welcome to the region's pioneering daytime community.
Founded on a personal commitment to exceptional hospitality and absolute peace of mind.
A welcoming home from home
We believe later life should be celebrated to the fullest, which is why we have completely stepped away from traditional, clinical environments. Instead, we offer a warm, sophisticated space inspired by premium hospitality.
Our daily experience is built upon three core pillars:
Wellbeing
Proactive, professional support delivered discreetly.
Independence
Empowering older adults with choice and agency.
Community
Fostering genuine friendships and shared experiences.
Why choose the Alderley Clubhouse experience?
Redefining Later Living in Cheshire
Located in the heart of Nether Alderley, we serve families across the Cheshire Golden Triangle who refuse to settle for standard, locally-funded care environments. Individuals aged 65 and over hold an estimated 51% of Britain’s wealth, yet the standard of daytime support has historically lagged far behind their lifestyle expectations.
\We exist to bridge that gap by offering a private-pay model focused on exceptional everyday living
The Extraordinary Everyday
Days here are tailored to individual passions. We reject the concept of passive supervision; our members remain active, enthusiastic participants in their day.
A typical day might include:
Chef-prepared gastronomy, from morning coffee to a two-course lunch and Fish and Chip Friday from award-winning Charlie’s of Mobberley.
Activities including gentle chair yoga to support flexibility and relaxation.
Time spent in our beautiful outdoor sensory garden.
Treatments from visiting professionals, such as our podiatrist, hairdresser and nail technician, in our bespoke treatment room.
Discreet Professional Support
While the aesthetic reflects premium hospitality, the foundation is unwavering professional support. We champion independence while remaining quietly present in the background until needed.
To provide families with true reassurance, we rely on complete transparency and honest communication. Our dedicated team, headed by Vicky, our Registered Manager, is always available to share updates about your loved one's day, ensuring you remain deeply connected to their experience. We proudly offer:
A safe, reliable environment anchored by highly trained professionals.
Absolute peace of mind, allowing caregivers to reclaim their personal time without an ounce of guilt.
A message from our Founder.
Our parents spent their lives enjoying sophisticated, comfortable surroundings, and we saw no reason why daytime support should mean compromising on those standards.
The Alderley Clubhouse is the direct result of that vision. It is the very first of many planned clubhouses designed exclusively to provide an extraordinary everyday routine.
We have curated a beautiful, home-from-home setting where older adults can enjoy chef-prepared gastronomy, meaningful connection, and exceptional wellbeing support, all while their families experience absolute peace of mind.
Welcome to The Clubhouse Group. The journey to creating our first luxury daytime community began from a deeply personal place.
My partner Richard, a few close friends, and I were looking for a high-end, non-clinical boutique day care service for our elderly parents. We wanted a space that felt like a premium hospitality experience, but we quickly discovered a glaring gap in the market.
We found absolutely nothing that suited our family's expectations.
The available options fell into two uninspiring categories:
Basic community centre-style places that provided no enrichment, food, or engaging activities.
Dementia-focused days situated in golf clubs and hotels, which were simply not custom-built for daytime support. We believed our parents deserved much better.
So, in December 2025, I decided to build it myself.
Refusing to Settle for the Ordinary
Building a completely new standard for later living required us to abandon traditional, clinical environments entirely.
