of any of the children placed in the living quarters;
(B) Placing the child with different service or treatment
needs in the living quarters will not adversely impact the other children
in the living quarters;

is appropriate at all times based on the needs of all children in
the living quarters;
(D) Caregivers can appropriately supervise all children
in the living quarters at all times; and
