The growing pet rock snake at Aurem Care’s The Oaks care home

Oakey’s concept is simple yet captivating. We invite everyone to add their stones to our charming pet rock snake ensuring his continuous growth and becoming a testament to the love and connection shared within our community.

A new resident…

Excitement is in the air at The Oaks care home as we introduce our newest resident – Oakey, the pet rock snake! This special friend was lovingly created by our dedicated activities team in collaboration with some of our cherished residents. Oakey is no ordinary snake; he is a unique and interactive project that we hope will continue to grow with the help of our visitors, family members, and, of course, our residents.

Oakey’s poem

“This is Oakey our pet rock snake.
Add your stones but please do not take.
Let’s see how long we can make him grow,
10ft, 20ft you never know.”

Oakey’s concept

Oakey’s concept is simple yet captivating. We invite everyone to add their stones to our charming pet rock snake ensuring his continuous growth and becoming a testament to the love and connection shared within our community.

The joy of watching Oakey’s size increase bit by bit brings a sense of togetherness and delight to our home. Our residents eagerly participate in this heartwarming activity, reminiscing about the stones they add and creating cherished memories along the way. It’s a wonderful way to engage with nature and the environment while fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie within our care home.

As we continue to add to Oakey’s length, we eagerly wonder just how long he will grow. The possibilities are endless, and the excitement builds each time someone contributes to his journey. Oakey serves as a symbol of growth, community spirit, and the collective effort to create a nurturing and vibrant atmosphere at The Oaks care home.
