criteria. No residential facility shall admit adults as residents into the
facility.
(B) A facility may admit
a specific child who does not meet the agency's age limitation policy if the
facility, in conjunction with a court, determines it will be able to meet the
child's needs and the placement will not have a detrimental effect on the
current population of children specified in the agency's policy.
(C) If a current resident of the facility
reaches age eighteen and is expected to graduate by his or her nineteenth
birthday, the facility may allow the resident to remain as a resident until
graduation.
