Situated at 1719 East Bijou Street in the 80909 zip code, the facility is positioned to serve patients from across the metro area who need structured recovery care following hospitalization, surgery, orthopedic procedures, or a significant health event. Managed by The Ensign Group, Medallion Post Acute Rehabilitation operates with the clinical depth and quality infrastructure that have made The Ensign Group a respected name in post-acute care nationwide.

East Bijou Street runs through a well-established, centrally accessible part of Colorado Springs that puts residents and families within easy reach of the city's major corridors. Academy Boulevard, one of the city's primary north-south arteries, is nearby and lined with grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and retail centers. The Citadel Mall on Citadel Drive East — one of Colorado Springs' largest indoor shopping destinations — is a short drive away and provides a convenient outing option for recovering residents. Families visiting from the Briargate or Rockrimmon neighborhoods to the north, or from Fountain to the south, will find Bijou Street an accessible central point. For acute medical needs, UCHealth Memorial Hospital's main campus on East Boulder Street is among the nearest Level II trauma centers, ensuring tight care coordination for patients transitioning from inpatient hospital stays. The east-central corridor also features a dense network of specialist physicians, orthopedic practices, and outpatient therapy clinics that can support continuity of care beyond the facility. Pikes Peak looms visibly to the west — a constant reminder of the natural grandeur that defines Colorado Springs life.
