Please join us in welcoming Carnethia “Nicky” Champion, our new Director of Health & Wellness at Brandywine Colts Neck!
Nicky brings a unique and inspiring background to her role. She began her healthcare journey in pharmaceutical research after becoming a Medical Assistant, EKG Technician, and Phlebotomist. Encouraged by physicians, and undeterred by being told she was “too old,” she enrolled in a vocational nursing program the very same day. She earned her RN in 2019 and has continued to grow ever since.
Her passion for dementia and Alzheimer’s care is deeply personal, inspired by her grandfather’s experience with a traumatic brain injury and early-onset dementia. Nicky is committed to learning, growing, and providing the highest level of care to residents and families.
Raised in an Army family and a former Army Reserve member herself, Nicky brings discipline, resilience, and heart to everything she does. Outside of work, she’s a self-proclaimed nerd who loves sharing random facts and tends a mini orchard at home, if she eats it, she’ll try to grow it!
Nicky is excited to begin this new chapter at Brandywine Colts Neck and looks forward to getting to know the community and team.
