Resident Voices: The Heart of Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health Awareness Week has been a celebration of connection and wellbeing at Pegasus Homes, and the voices of our residents are truly inspiring. We've heard heartwarming accounts of the joy and support found in their diverse, resident-led activities. From passions for photography to social gatherings like gents' dinners and games clubs. These initiatives are clearly valued touchpoints, powerfully demonstrating the positive influence of community on mental health, regardless of age.
Ageing Well: Prioritising Your Mental Health and Mindset
For those enjoying life over 60, it can be easy, amidst busy days and perhaps caring for others through volunteering or looking after grandchildren, to let our own mental health take a backseat. But investing in ourselves, through small, consistent actions, can significantly enhance our outlook and overall quality of life. This Mental Health Awareness Week, we will explore practical ways to prioritise mental health, from the simplicity of connecting with a friend over coffee to establishing healthy sleep habits, empowering you to feel your best.

A place deer to my heart - Anne Hugo, Lymington
For Anne, the move to Pegasus Homes’ Lymington Gate community, in the heart of the New Forest was a familiar one as she had many fond memories of the area from her childhood. Anne’s sister moved to Lymington when Anne was growing up, and she recalls enjoying the open spaces that the forest has to offer, as well as the famous New Forest wildlife - memories which have stayed ‘deer’ to her heart to this very day!

A Day in the Life of Pumpkin!
We love telling the stories of our residents and their journeys of how they came to choose their Pegasus Homes. For this very special resident at our Lymington Gate community, the choice was made for them - but they couldn’t be happier or more at home in their new two-bedroom apartment, overlooking the landscaped gardens of the development.

'When is the right time to downsize?' Our CEO, Steve Bangs, shares his thoughts.
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ when it comes to moving home, and especially when it comes to downsizing. Our residents come to us from all walks of life, with a variety of different drivers that bring them to our door: change in health circumstances; desire for less maintenance; wanting to be closer to family. - but one thing we do hear time and again from those who choose a Pegasus Home?

A story over two storeys - Pam and Neville, Steepleton, Tetbury
For Neville and Pam, making the move to their two-storey duplex apartment in Steepleton, Tetbury, was a big decision. Not only were there the logistical and physical challenges of moving home to consider, but they were leaving behind an active social life and established network of friends; so the decision to move to be closer to family was not an easy one to make.
