Plan-It Life, Murrieta
About Plan-It Life – Murrieta
Plan-It Life runs a round-the-clock residential group home for girls aged twelve to eighteen on a quiet suburban street in Murrieta, one of several homes the 501(c)(3) non-profit operates across Riverside County. Shelia C. Marshall-McLean, a licensed marriage and family therapist, founded the organization in 2001 and still serves as its chief executive and administrator, and the Murrieta home is licensed by the California Department of Social Services.
Families should be clear on one point before calling: this is a mental health and behavioral placement, not an addiction program. No substance use treatment is on record here and the home publishes none, so it is not the right referral for a teenager who needs help with drugs or alcohol. Its own resource list points callers to an outside substance abuse screening, assessment and referral service rather than treating that need in-house.
The girls placed here are described as at-risk teenagers who have experienced abuse or neglect, and the program is built around structure rather than a diagnosis list: a behavior-based level system with weekly goal reviews, an on-site clinician, and individual therapy at least twice a week. CARF accreditation covers the Murrieta site under its children and adolescents programs, which is a meaningful outside check on a group home of this size.

Treatment Services at Plan-It Life
Clinical work at the Murrieta home is delivered by an on-site clinician, with individual therapy scheduled at least twice a week alongside group sessions on topics such as the Zones of Regulation, anti-bullying and conflict resolution. Anger management is a named part of the program, as is social skills training, and residents are assessed through psychological, psychiatric and psycho-social evaluations as well as medical evaluation.
Equine therapy runs every Tuesday at Green Acres Interactive Therapy, and residents attend Teen Leadership and Girls Circle groups through S.A.F.E. Alternatives in Temecula, so part of the week is spent off site with community partners rather than inside the house. The level system ties privileges to weekly goal reviews, which gives a placing social worker something concrete to track between visits instead of a general progress note.
What is not published matters here. The home names no specific conditions it treats, no therapy models by name, no typical length of stay and no detail on what support follows discharge. Anyone considering a placement should ask the line on (951) 653-7561 which presentations the staff are equipped to manage, how long girls usually remain in the home, and what the transition out looks like, because none of that is set out publicly.

Plan-It Life Address, Location and Contact Information
The home is at 39509 Cedarwood Drive, Murrieta, California 92563, in Riverside County, on a suburban residential street rather than a clinical campus, which is rather the point of a group home placement. Riverside sits 22 miles north-west and Laguna Niguel 31 miles west, so the site is within a manageable drive for family visits or agency meetings from either direction.
Residential care runs around the clock, so there is staff on site at any hour, though the published number is a placement line rather than a crisis line. Two numbers are in circulation for this address: (951) 653-7561 appears on the Murrieta page and also reaches the organization’s Riverside office, while licensing and accreditation records carry (951) 304-1040 for the Murrieta site. Try both if the first does not connect.

How Much Does Treatment at Plan-It Life Cost?
No payment information is published for the Murrieta home. The organization names no insurance carriers, publishes no private-pay rate and does not say whether it bills Medi-Cal, and the only money referred to on its website is fundraising and donations, which is not the same thing as a fee policy. That makes the first question on a call a blunt one: who is expected to pay for a placement, and how much.
For context only, statewide private-pay ranges in California run from $1,200 to $5,000 a month for outpatient care, $3,000 to $10,000 for an intensive outpatient program, $7,500 to $15,000 for partial hospitalization and $6,000 to $45,000 a month for residential treatment. Those are California-wide figures spanning every type of provider, not Plan-It Life’s prices, and a non-profit group home placement may sit well outside them in either direction.

Plan-It Life Reviews
Oversight of this address comes from two directions. The California Department of Social Services licenses the home, and the CARF register lists Plan-it Life – Murrieta at 39509 Cedarwood Drive under its children and adolescents programs, which is what pins down the street when the organization’s own website leaves it out. The national provider identifier recorded for the home is 1972022937, and the operating body is a private non-profit.
The listing above is built from state licensing records, federal provider data and the organization’s own published material, so it describes what Plan-It Life says it does and what regulators record, not what it is like to live there. No reviews have been left for this home on RehabSeekers yet. If you have placed a teenager here, a review would help the next family or caseworker reading this page.
