Janet Morales
Home Health Aide, Lamna Home Health
Dear Janet Morales,
I'm applying for the Home Health Aide position with Lamna Home Health. I completed a 75-hour home health aide training program with supervised practical training, passed the competency evaluation and have 3 years in home health and assisted living. At Schuylkill Home Health Services I visit 5–7 clients a day for bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, following each client's aide care plan from the RN.
I take reporting seriously. I take and record vital signs and report any change in condition to the RN case manager the same day. I use gait belts and walkers for safe transfers, and none of my clients had a fall during a visit in 2025. I record every visit in HHAeXchange for EVV before the day ends.
Before home health, I worked at Fairmount Gardens Assisted Living, helping 12–14 residents a shift with daily living, meals and medication reminders and supporting residents with dementia with calm routines and redirection.
I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I'd be glad to talk about the clients and areas you need covered. Thank you for considering me.
Sincerely,
Rosa Jimenez

/ Tips
Tips for your home health aide cover letter.
01
Confirm your training
Mention your training hours and competency evaluation. Home health agencies have to check them.
02
Show you report changes
Agencies want aides who tell the nurse right away when something changes. One sentence on how you do it helps.
03
Keep it short
Three or four plain paragraphs are enough. Say who you are, how you work and when you can start.

Something else? support@launch-cv.com
Do home health aides need a cover letter?
Usually not. Most agencies hire from an application and interview. A short letter helps if the posting asks for one or you're moving from a facility to home care.
What if I'm a new home health aide?
Mention your training program and competency evaluation, your CPR and First Aid and any caregiving for family members or volunteer work.
