For me, this translates to up to 17 residents at one time depending on census. I rarely have to do quarterly MDS. However to compensate, I frequently complete discharge and admission MDS.

Description. Crabs are crustaceans with five pairs of legs. The first pair is modified as pinchers and the last four pairs are walking legs. The blue crab's carapace (or shell) is about 7 inches (17.8 cm) wide and 4 inches (10.2 cm) long. It weighs 1 to 2 pounds (0.45 to 0.9 kg) when fully grown. The back of the blue crab is dark or brownish green and is drawn out on each side into a large spine.
