Cannability Consulting

A recent McKnight’s article shared a concerning statistic: 1 in 4 older adults with dementia are prescribed high-risk CNS medications.

For many families, navigating care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia can feel overwhelming — especially when medication decisions come with difficult trade-offs.
