Project Lifesaver - How to Enroll a Loved One

Enrollment in Project Lifesaver is open to families and caregivers of individuals at risk of wandering. During enrollment, clients are fitted with a small, personalized transmitter that emits a unique radio frequency signal.

To begin the enrollment process:

1. Contact the Project Lifesaver Team at
[email protected] or call 812-406-0086 Ext. 5.

2. A coordinator will provide you with program information, eligibility details, and enrollment forms.

3. Once enrolled, clients will receive their transmitter, and caregivers will receive training on how the program works.

This ensures that if a loved one goes missing, trained responders can be dispatched immediately with the tools needed to bring them home safely.

The program uses proven radio-frequency technology and specially trained responders to quickly locate and safely return individuals prone to wandering due to conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, autism, or other cognitive challenges.
