Maria Stopps, 77, found herself at a crossroads
after the passing of her husband of 56 years.
Her house was sold, and she needed somewhere
to move in quickly and easily. With a daughter,
son-in-law and two granddaughters living nearby
in West Byfleet, Maria's family played a crucial
role in her next big decision.
Initially, Maria was hesitant about moving to a
later living community. Her daughter, however,
saw the potential of Pegasus Homes at Highfields
and came to initially scope it out before
approaching Maria with the idea. After seeing the
community, they were convinced it was worth
Maria taking a look. The beautifully maintained
grounds, the convenience of the location, and the
impressive amenities quickly won her over. "I was
blown away," she recalls. The transition was swift
and seamless, with Maria moving into her new
home in August 2024.
Settling In
Maria found the move to her two-bedroom,
two-bathroom apartment on the second floor
“It's nothing like I had
imagined [...] it's a
wonderful place to live.”
