Feedback:

"I have known Gini Carson for many years, and I am delighted to write a statement of support and commendation for her and for her years of work with people who have no voice or place in society. Mrs. Carson has provided many Carson-Newman students with opportunities to work and study with the residents of Agape Acres. These opportunities have benefited both the Carson-Newman students, who are learning how to work with and meet the varied needs of the residents, and the residents, who have been able to increase and enhance their social interactions with practicum students. Mrs. Carson is an excellent mentor who dedicates her time and energy to helping others. Students speak highly and fondly of time they have spent at Agape Acres in what has been a tremendous hands-on learning experience that will help them immeasurably in their future careers."

I appreciate your focus on client strengths. It has been my experience that you consistently attend to details as you report the needs and strengths of your clients. It is clear to me that you share a positive rapport with your clients and their families because they enter our clinic with a calm, receptive demeanor. I also appreciate that your clients feel confident and welcome to ask any questions they may have.
I believe that you develop rapport easily due to your respectful attitude, cheerful demeanor, and willingness to advocate for your clients’ needs. Despite the fact that I know you are very busy, you never seem too busy to consult with our team to offer your valuable insight from the perspective of a live-in caretaker. I appreciate your professional demeanor and ability to remain receptive of feedback and to seek information as needed.
You are an invaluable resource in your role at the Agape Group Home. I look forward to many more years of service to you and the population you serve."
