Sisters Penny and Sue, along with their dog Mabel, had a clear vision for their next chapter. They wanted a modern apartment, a vibrant social life, and, most importantly, the freedom to live on their own terms. When they discovered Pegasus Homes' Highfields community in West Byfleet, they knew they had found their perfect match.

"We are very young at heart and we wanted independent living as opposed to assisted living," the pair explain. "We value our independence, and this ticked all the boxes."



Choosing to move while they were still young and active was a deliberate choice. The sisters agreed that neither of them wanted to be left alone, and this move would allow them to be together as long as possible. The decision has proven to be an excellent one, and they both agree they don't regret it at all.

For Penny and Sue, the best part of living at Highfields is the location. "It's a great spot," Penny says. "I can walk to the shops, I can walk to the dentist; everything is within walking distance which makes life so much easier. You don't have to get in the car to drive to the hairdressers!" This ease of access contributes to a life that they describe as relaxing, happy, social, and independent.

Their advice to anyone considering a move to a later living community is simple yet profound. "The quality of life here suits us at this stage of our life," Sue says. For Penny and Sue, the decision to move to Pegasus Homes wasn't about slowing down; it was about ensuring they could continue living life to the fullest, together and on their own terms.
