Irondale Post Acute is a 95-bed skilled nursing facility in Commerce City, Colorado, offering long-term care, secure memory care, rehabilitation services, and respite care to residents in Adams County. The facility is owned by West Van Buren Healthcare, Inc. and administered by Albeejohn Hummel.
CMS rates Irondale Post Acute at 2 stars overall, with 1-star ratings in both Health Inspection and Quality Measures — each substantially below Colorado averages. Across 8 inspections since 2020, the facility recorded 26 total citations, roughly in line with the state average of 24.8. However, the severity profile is a concern: 2 critical and 3 serious citations were issued, and CMS imposed $89,000 in civil money penalties between 2023 and 2025, including a payment denial for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions in December 2023. The most recent fines — $27,000 in April 2025 and $29,000 in October 2025 — both followed Quality of Care citations.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, about 8% below the Colorado average. Physical therapist staffing stands out at 80% above the state average, which aligns with the facility’s rehabilitation focus. Long-stay quality measures are broadly below average, with antipsychotic use at 37.8% — more than double the Colorado figure of 18.8% — and daily-activity decline rates elevated compared to state peers.
The facility’s occupancy rate is 91.2%, well above the Colorado average of 76.5%, placing it 31st out of 185 in the state. The current resident census is heavily Medicaid-weighted (88%), with an average length of stay of 192 days, reflecting a predominantly long-term population.
Irondale Post Acute is best suited for long-term Medicaid residents and post-acute rehabilitation in Commerce City, with secure memory care capacity for residents who require a locked unit. Families should review the facility’s enforcement history, antipsychotic-use rates, and quality-of-care findings before making a long-term decision.
Irondale Post Acute is administrated by Albeejohn Hummel.
