Patients navigating the healthcare landscape in cities like San Mateo often face the double burden of high local costs and the physical toll of chronic illness. If you are receiving specialist care at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center or other local clinics, you know that managing antiretroviral therapy and constant lab work is a full-time job. This often leaves very little energy for cooking, cleaning, or even basic hygiene. We see many long-term survivors in San Mateo County dealing with peripheral neuropathy or severe fatigue that makes walking or standing for long periods difficult. Because HIV/AIDS can cause symptoms that change from day to day, it is vital to have a medical evaluation that captures your worst days. Our doctors look at how neurocognitive changes or wasting syndrome might make it unsafe for you to live alone without help. We aim to bridge the gap between your clinical diagnosis and the practical help you need to stay safe in your own home.
