Placement Stability Narrative:

• Analysis of the provision's operational history indicates a need to closely monitor patterns of placement disruptions and short-notice or emergency placement events.
• Staff approach to behavioral management requires consistent application of proactive de-escalation strategies to mitigate the risk of unplanned endings.
