In May of 2000, Ellen M. Miller-Mapp began her career in Aging Services joining the Staff of Wesley Woods Towers, a Senior-Retirement Apartment Community of Wesley Woods Senior Living, Inc.

Clairmont Oaks operates within the guidelines of the Section 236 program of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Section 8 rental assistance program and is mission of the First Baptist Church of Decatur, Georgia. These 16 Years of Aging Services taught Ellen the value of Aging Well. ”Through our Residents, I learn how to live and age, but most importantly, how NOT to live and age!”
As an affiliate member of LeadingAge Georgia, Ellen serves on the Board of Directors of the Center for Positve Aging and has begun serving on the Public Policy team.
