What began as a dream is today the area’s most exceptional retirement community in Bartlesville, located on 26 lovely acres close to Highway 75 including a lake and walking trails with dining, shopping, business services and attractions close by. Green Country Village is a not-for-profit, rental senior living community offering three lifestyle choices: independent living, assisted living and memory care (in fact, the area’s only retirement community offering memory care). This comfortable, tranquil community is made up of friendly, familiar faces — many of whom have worked and lived in Bartlesville all their lives.

Green Country Village has the kindest nurses, activity directors & staff! Visiting my grandfather there was the best. Each day has a different schedule of activities & they serve amazing meals 3 times a day. The people truly go out of their way to make each day special. Thank you Green Country Village for all the hard work you do! The memories of spending time there will always be cherished.

Patricia Smith – IL Resident
I will have lived at Green Country Village 12 years in June, 2018. When I first came to Bartlesville, I didn’t know anyone, except my daughter and her family. Green Country Village staff helped me get acquainted and I quickly made some great friends. The staff has been very helpful and caring, both every day, and during emergencies. I have enjoyed numerous activities here, including live entertainment, movies, bingo, and brain games. I participate in a cardio fitness class 3 times a week as well. I also enjoy the special events that Green Country Village has, including Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, and parties for special football and basketball games, such as the playoffs, Bedlam, and the Superbowl. The food is always good and there are many choices. Maintenance and housekeeping staff are very helpful and pleasant. My experience here at Green Country has been “top notch” and I consider it my home.
Eva O’Conner – AL Resident
I was pleased to receive your letter seeking my experiences here at Green Country. Having been a resident in both a single and double apartment I can perhaps give more thoughts of both places. I was so pleased to get the double as I still have many interests: books, computer, music, etc. which take more room. Also my health requires an electric cart as well as the walker which also requires more room. Since the reason for choosing an assisted living facility was the need of medical, physical and mental care which I have found here as the best. I can give the office staff an A+ as well as the workers both inside and outside.
Jean Bennett – IL Resident
My husband died in May 2005, while he was alive we had talked about what I would do after his death. I had decided I would move to Green Country Village, which I did in February 2006. It was the best move I could have made. Green Country staff could not have been more helpful. They were great and continue to do everything possible for our comfort. Any problem that come up in the apartment is take care of as soon as possible. The food is great and we have lots of choices. If the meals planned aren’t what we want once can always have soup or salad. After several years, I had to give up my car. Transportation is available for us for our appointments. There are always activities planned and available if we wish to take part. The whole experience has been just great for me. This is my home and I’ve been here for almost 16 years.
Steve Heidorn – Son of IL residents
My parents always said that they were not the type to live in a retirement community. After several years of not being able to keep up with their home and yard, they reluctantly looked at Green Country Village. Now they say that they should have moved there several years ago. Visiting them on a regular basis, I am impressed with the attentiveness of the staff, the activities that are provided, and the sense of community for the residences. We still have our family dinners at my home once a week and sometimes have them in “their” dinner hall when Mom and Dad do not want to brave the elements. Green Country Village provided the answer we needed for not only my parents but for all us.
Vanessa Drummond – Daughter of IL resident
My mother moved to Green Country Village from her home in California, and has never looked back! She loves her beautiful two bedroom apartment and the balcony she has covered with flowers, overlooking the lake. The staff and residents are so welcoming, and it is always easy to find a friendly table with interesting people to sit with at mealtime. (“Beware!” The food is so good Mom has gained a few pounds!) It was very important to Mom that she could bring her cat, and Gracie loves GCV too! Mom tells friends in both California and Bartlesville that if they’re considering moving, Green Country Village should be at the top of the list!
