Mount St Francis Nursing Center

Perched at Assisi Heights in the tranquil northwest reaches of Colorado Springs, Mount St. Francis Nursing Center is one of the region's most distinctive skilled nursing communities — a place where clinical excellence is woven together with the compassionate, mission-driven spirit of its Catholic heritage. Located at 7550 Assisi Heights in the 80919 zip code, the facility sits on the grounds of the Sisters of St. Francis campus, surrounded by open sky, mountain views, and the peaceful character of one of Colorado Springs' most serene neighborhoods. Mount St. Francis is operated by CommonSpirit Health, one of the nation's largest nonprofit Catholic health systems. Formed through the merger of Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives, CommonSpirit Health brings together a national network of resources, clinical standards, and a foundational mission to care for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. That mission is lived out daily at Mount St. Francis through attentive nursing care, pastoral support, and a residential culture centered on human dignity. The northwest side of Colorado Springs is among its most prized residential areas. The Rockrimmon neighborhood surrounds the campus with quiet streets, mature trees, and easy access to Woodmen Road — a major east-west corridor with grocery stores, pharmacies, and an array of dining and retail options. The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) campus along Austin Bluffs Parkway is nearby, a source of community vitality, continuing education programs, and intergenerational events. Chapel Hills Mall at Briargate Parkway to the northeast provides additional shopping and services. For acute care coordination, Centura Health's Penrose-St. Francis Medical Center — part of the same CommonSpirit Health family — is accessible via Nevada Avenue, allowing for smooth, mission-aligned transitions between hospital and skilled nursing care. Garden of the Gods, just a short drive south, provides one of Colorado Springs' most iconic and accessible natural settings for family visits. At Mount St. Francis Nursing Center, skilled nursing care is not simply a clinical service — it is an expression of a centuries-old commitment to healing, hospitality, and the sacredness of every life entrusted to its care.
