Three Little Pigs: COVID-19, Nursing Homes, and Person-Directed Culture — What’s the Connection?

We all know the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. Each of the pigs built a home with the same goal: keeping all who lived within safe from the big bad wolf. One home was made of straw, one of wood, and one of brick. We also know which of these homes fared best when faced with the huffing and puffing of the big bad wolf: the house of brick. The first two little pigs picked cheaper materials to offer shelter, but the third pig planned well and was more resourceful: he learned from what the others had done, made a deliberate decision to use the best material possible, and likely even consulted with experts in the design.
