Overview of Mcharrie Pointe

Mcharrie Pointe is a 47-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Baldwinsville, New York, operated by McHarrie Life, Inc., a nonprofit organization serving seniors on a 140-acre campus in Onondaga County since 1851. The continuum spans independent living, assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing care. Medicare and private pay are accepted.

The facility’s two inspections on record — August 2023 and February 2025 — each produced zero deficiencies. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions appear in the available reports, a clean compliance picture across both review cycles.

Mcharrie Pointe carries a 3-star CMS overall rating, slightly below the New York average, though the sub-ratings tell a more differentiated story. The staffing rating is 48% above the state benchmark, with total nurse staffing averaging 4 hours and 36 minutes per resident per day, compared with New York’s average of 3 hours and 29 minutes — the facility ranks 31st out of 388 New York SNFs on this measure. Health Inspection performance runs modestly above the state average. The facility’s occupancy rate is 75.8%, well below the state’s 88.3%, suggesting current availability across the campus.

Services include short-term rehabilitation, memory care, respite care, and 24-hour licensed nursing support. The campus also provides access to the broader McHarrie Life continuum to residents, with an average length of stay of 120 days.

Mcharrie Pointe is best suited for residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation and is a staffing-intensive nonprofit campus in the Baldwinsville area, with a care continuum that accommodates those who may transition between levels of care over time.

1 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +54% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	42m per day	■ Avg State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 12m per day	▲ 54% State avg: 47m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 50m per day	▲ 29% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 56m per day	▲ 22% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	9m per day	▲ 37% State avg: 7m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	20m per day	▼ 31% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day
