When my father talks to someone, he will not let them go. He continues to talk and talk (not making much sense) even when they say they need to get going. He gets very angry if we tell him it is time to go or that the other person needs to get going. His response is often, "You can't tell me what to do."

I agree with Sweetstuff. My daughter used to tell my Mom she had to go to work. She never said the word home.

Some how signal the person Dad is talking to "they" need to cut off the conversation. If ur visiting, the host needs to say "Well it be a nice visit but we have another engagement" or "we have an early morning, so time for us to go to bed".

Hi Lisa. You can’t reason with someone with dementia. The person that is trying to leave just needs to say good bye “Mr So and so”. See you again soon and leave. No intervening by you or others as this appears to upset him. Good luck.
