Overview of Redbanks Colonial Terrace

Redbanks Colonial Terrace is an 87-bed skilled nursing facility in Sebree, Kentucky, offering 24-hour skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care. The facility is operated by Henderson County Health Care Corporation, a voluntary nonprofit in Webster County. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 4-star overall CMS rating, driven by a 5-star Health Inspection score — the strongest signal in its record. Across two health inspections in the seven years, Redbanks recorded 6 total citations, well below the Kentucky average of 13.5, with zero critical or serious findings. Three citations came from standard inspections and three from complaint investigations. No penalties have been imposed in the past three years.

Staffing earns a 4-star rating, with total nursing hours averaging 3 hours and 55 minutes per resident per day — about 13% above the Kentucky average of 3 hours and 27 minutes — placing the facility 35th out of 184 Kentucky SNFs. However, RN staffing averages 24 minutes per day, which is roughly half the state average, a gap worth noting for residents with complex clinical needs.

Quality measures are the counterweight: the facility’s 1-star rating reflects outcomes below state benchmarks across multiple long-stay categories, including ADL decline (29.6% vs. Kentucky’s 16.8%) and hospitalizations (2.44 per 1,000 days vs. 1.87 per 1,000 days). Short-stay outcomes follow a similar pattern, with rehospitalization and ED visit rates above state averages. The facility’s occupancy rate is 70%, about 11 points below the Kentucky average, indicating current availability.

The facility’s payer mix is heavily Medicaid-weighted — 78.4% of current residents — with an average length of stay of 348 days, reflecting a predominantly long-term population.

Redbanks Colonial Terrace is best suited for residents and families seeking long-term skilled nursing care in Webster County, where a clean compliance record and above-average staffing hours are priorities, and where quality measure outcomes are a known tradeoff.
