Beyond Independent: Discover the Power of Inter-dependent Living
In most senior living communities, "Independent Living" simply means you have your own key. But at The Thomas Center for Senior Leadership, we believe that true independence is only possible when it is rooted in a strong, intentional community.
We don’t just offer apartments; we offer a philosophy we call Inter-dependent Living.
What Makes Us Different?
While other facilities in the area often feel like hotels or high-occupancy complexes, The Thomas Center is designed as a close-knit "island" of connection within Anchorage. Here, our residents aren't just "tenants," they are Senior Leaders.
The Unique Thomas Center Advantages:
Architectural Intimacy: Unlike sprawling facilities where you can go days without seeing a neighbor, our 14 apartments are built around a central core. Features like "neighbor windows" in the kitchens encourage casual interaction while maintaining total private sanctuary.
The Leadership Model: We reject the idea that aging means becoming a "care object." Our community is built on the wisdom of those who helped build Alaska. We view our elders as role models who continue to lead, mentor, and shape the culture of the campus.
Safety Without the "Facility" Feel: Nestled in a peaceful, wooded perimeter on the St. Mary’s campus, you have the security of moose-proof fencing and 24-hour call systems, combined with direct access to the local greenbelt trails. It’s the peace of the Alaskan wilderness with the security of a supportive neighborhood.
Purpose Driven Amenities: From our dedicated craft room and heated garages to our "Inter-dependent" support model, where neighbors look out for neighbors, we bridge the gap between "doing it all alone" and "assisted living."
Why choose The Thomas Center?
Because you’ve spent your life leading, and you shouldn't have to stop now. Here, you aren't moving into a "home." You’re joining a movement that values your experience, respects your privacy, and guarantees you’ll never be just a number.
Experience the difference of a unique intentional community.
