In North Charleston, South Carolina, a manager at a residential care facility has been charged after severe neglect allegedly led to the deaths of two residents and serious injuries to a third. Wilhelmina C. Rellora, 66, who oversaw Park Circle Home at 1133 Bexley Street, faces felony neglect charges tied directly to vulnerable adults living there.
What the Charges Say
- Rellora, as the licensed administrator and caregiver, is accused of failing to provide essential care, food, medication, supervision, and other basic services needed to protect residents’ health and safety.
- Warrants claim this neglect directly caused two residents to die and inflicted great bodily injury on a third resident.
- If convicted, she could face up to 45 years in prison, and she has been booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center.
This case is part of a larger pattern at Park Circle Home: a husband‑and‑wife operator/caregiver pair from the same facility were already arrested earlier in March in another neglect case that also involved a resident death. State officials are treating this as a serious abuse‑of‑power‑and‑trust issue in the residential‑care system.
