☕️ Community, Coffee, and Connection!

​We had a wonderful morning hosting the Older Persons Action Group (OPAG) breakfast here at the Thomas Center! It was inspiring to see our community gather to share resources and network.

​A massive thank you to our event sponsor, Dr. Brett A. Barringer, D.C. from Metro Chiropractic. He provided a delicious breakfast that paired perfectly with our local Kaladi Brothers Coffee.

​Beyond his community support, Dr. Barringer is a Chiropractic Physician specializing in Active Release Techniques (ART) and massage right here in Anchorage. If you're looking for wellness support, we highly recommend checking out his practice!

Redefining Your Next Chapter: Intentional Living at The Thomas Center

​There is a common misconception that "downsizing" means settling for less. At The Thomas Center, we believe the later years of life should be about gaining more: more connection, more security, and more time to focus on what truly matters.

​Nestled in a peaceful, wooded setting on the St. Mary’s campus, our residence is designed for active seniors who want to remain leaders in their own lives while enjoying the comforts of a modern, supportive community.

​A Space Designed for You:
​We don't see our residents as "patients," but as neighbors and role models. Our facility offers a variety of living options to suit your lifestyle:

​Thoughtful Floor Plans: Choose from beautiful, light-filled studio, 1-bedroom, or 2-bedroom apartments.

​A Balance of Privacy and Connection:
Our layout provides quiet spaces for reflection and vibrant common areas for group activities and social interaction.

​Security & Peace of Mind:
Trade the stress of home maintenance and isolation for a safe, secure environment where community is always right outside your door.

​More Than Just an Apartment:
​Life at The Thomas Center is built on the philosophy of Intentional Community. It’s a place where you can share a meal, join a discussion, or simply enjoy the Alaskan scenery from a cozy corner.

Located near Tudor and Lake Otis Parkway, you are perfectly positioned to stay connected to the best of Anchorage while enjoying a private, quiet retreat.

​"We focus on promoting healthy senior living by honoring the wisdom and independence of our residents."

​Discover Your New Home
​The best way to feel the warmth of our community is to experience it in person. We invite you to walk our halls, see our floor plans, and meet the people who make this place special.

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.

​📍 Located in the heart of Anchorage, off Tudor and Lake Otis.
