Ocean Ave. in Lantana, about an employee who was possibly stealing from the business. <br />Officials at the senior living facility noticed that one real estate agent was being paid for an unusually high amount of referrals.<br /> Carlisle officials suspected Deonath, 38, of receiving kickbacks for referrals to the senior living residence. Many of the referrals came from Realtor Glenn Gatti, 63, of Royal Palm Beach, according to the police report.<br /> Fourteen people listed as being referred by Gatti said they did not know him, according to the police report.<br /> Deonath told police that she received a salary and commission for each person who rents an apartment. Investigators determined that Gatti would receive checks for referrals to the Carlisle, but that some of the apartments were never rented and some were already occupied. Police said that Gatti would, in turn, send checks to Deonath. Some of them were endorsed by Jagessar, 41, a Lake Worth Realtor.<br /> When people arrived to sign leases without a real estate agent, Deonath would sign paperwork and say that Gatti had referred them, according to the police report.<br /> Gatti, who said he received between 30 and 40 checks, worked with the police and said he is willing to repay the Carlisle and didn’t want to lose his job, according to the police report.<br /> Deonath and Jagessar were released from Palm Beach County Jail after each posted a $45,000 bond. <br /> In a statement released after the arrests, Brown wrote:<br /> “We recently discovered financial irregularities that warranted further review of a certain employee at The Carlisle Palm Beach. The financial irregularities in question did not involve any resident accounts, nor has it affected the quality of services and care we provide to our residents every day.<br /> “We immediately conducted a full review of the matter and made the decision to contact the appropriate authorities. <br />“The Lantana Police Department then initiated an investigation that has since resulted in the arrest of the employee, who is now no longer employed by the Carlisle.”</p></div>Lantana: The Carlisle adds a facility for residents with declining memoryhttps://thecoastalstar.com/profiles/blogs/lantana-the-carlisle-adds-a-facility-for-residents-with-declining2014-10-01T15:11:01.000Z2014-10-01T15:11:01.000ZChris Felkerhttps://thecoastalstar.com/members/ChrisFelker<div><p> The Carlisle Palm Beach, a six-story senior living community at 450 E. Ocean Ave. in Lantana, completed a renovation that includes the addition of a “memory care” unit for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.<br /> “We’re excited to take what was already a premier community here on the beach and make it even better,” said Executive Director Justin Brown. “Our memory care lifestyle option (with 56 units) will allow our residents to continue to live in place.”<br /> The makeover includes a new gymnasium for fitness classes and rehabilitation and common area spaces for recreation and socializing. New furniture, fresh coats of paint and new carpeting were added.<br /> The senior living home consists of three residential buildings and was originally designed to house 250 independent-living apartments and 60 assisted-living units. With the renovations, there are 144 independent units and 54 assisted-living units. The Carlisle sits on property once owned by the town. The property was sold in 1997.</p>
