About

Peninsula Family Service is a San Mateo nonprofit serving people from birth through later life. Its older-adult work is built around peer counseling, volunteer support and the Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center, and is aimed at health, mobility and independence rather than at care.

The peer counseling program is substantial: the organization reported 58,507 service hours delivered by peer counselors in 2023.

Eligibility, costs and office hours are not published. Call to ask what applies to your situation, and to confirm which programs are currently running at Fair Oaks.

Questions to ask

9 things worth asking before you decide, chosen because the public record does not answer them. A blank means nobody has published the answer, not that the answer is bad.

  • Can a same-sex couple share a room or an apartment, on the same terms as any other couple, at every level of care you offer?
  • Who counts as family for visiting, for medical updates and for decisions, if the person closest to me is not a relative or a spouse?
  • Do you have a written nondiscrimination policy that names sexual orientation and gender identity? Can I have a copy?
