Friendly Companion Service
A Warm Presence, A Brighter Day
Everyone deserves a bit of companionship — a listening ear, a shared story, or simply someone to brighten the day. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, enjoying a conversation over tea, or easing the feeling of loneliness, Lighthouse’s Friendly Companion service is here to bring meaningful human connection into the lives of those we support.
At Lighthouse, we believe that companionship is more than just presence — it's about fostering comfort, confidence, and emotional well-being. Our companions provide reassurance and joy in small everyday moments that make a big difference.

Why Friendly Companionship Matters
As people grow older, life can become quieter and more solitary — often leading to feelings of isolation. This shift, particularly after retirement, bereavement, or a decline in mobility, can affect both mental and emotional well-being.
Studies show that long-term loneliness is linked to anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, and even reduced life expectancy. Sometimes, it’s the absence of everyday interactions — a chat over tea, a missed birthday, or simply having no one to reminisce with — that contributes to feeling disconnected.
At Lighthouse, we believe in the power of simple, meaningful connection. Our Friendly Companion service offers emotional support through regular visits and genuine conversation, helping to restore purpose, build trust, and make every day a little brighter.
Even a short visit can bring warmth, reassurance, and the sense that someone truly cares.
What Is Friendly Companion Care?
At Lighthouse, our Friendly Companion care goes beyond medical support — it's all about emotional warmth, meaningful connection, and social wellbeing. We match each client with compassionate companions who offer kind conversation, light activities, and a comforting presence.
Every visit is a chance to reconnect. Whether it's a chat over tea, looking through old photo albums, or simply sharing stories, our service helps clients build confidence, reduce loneliness, and feel part of the world again.
This support is flexible and can be tailored to suit individual preferences — from occasional companionship to more regular visits or integrated live-in care.
