The Myron Stratton Home

Thirty-one residents call The Myron Stratton Home their address, a south Colorado Springs community built to help with the parts of daily life that have grown difficult, whether that's remembering medications, getting cleaned up and dressed, or crossing a hallway without a fall. Gold Pass Heights, in the Cheyenne Mountain area of south Colorado Springs, sits away from the busier corridors closer to downtown.

Each resident's care is handled individually, and staff step up support whenever a resident's mobility or overall health takes a turn, rather than applying one fixed level of service to everyone in the building. With 31 residents, the caregiving team covers a group roughly half the size of the 60- and 80-bed communities found elsewhere in the region. The home's kitchen handles meals for the group, served together, with diets adjusted individually rather than through one set menu.

Residents tend to settle into a rhythm shaped by familiar staff and a consistent group of neighbors rather than a constantly changing building population, and the south Colorado Springs setting keeps things quieter than the city's busier northern corridors. Held up against the area's larger senior communities, The Myron Stratton Home suits families who want a residential feel rather than the amenity-heavy programming of a much bigger campus.

Care here stops at assisted living, without memory care, independent living, or skilled nursing, and the community runs on private pay since Medicaid isn't part of the billing model. The route to Penrose Hospital from Gold Pass Heights runs quick and direct, a short trip north, and the Cheyenne Mountain area nearby gives visiting family a quieter backdrop than central Colorado Springs offers. Pharmacies and grocery stores line Highway 115 close to the community.

The Myron Stratton Home operates as its own south Colorado Springs community, sized at 31 residents and centered on private-pay assisted living, with staffing that isn't spread thin across a much larger building.
