Home Health Aide Cover Letter Example

One client of mine now walks to the mailbox without help, after we worked through a therapist's walking plan together over many visits. I am a home health aide at Pecan Hollow Home Care, and I am applying for the Home Health Aide role at Huisache Home Care.

Each week I support six clients with bathing, dressing, meals and light housekeeping, following each written care plan. At every visit I record vital signs and any change in appetite, mobility or mood, and I report it to the supervising nurse the same day. Two of my clients need a mechanical lift, and I use safe lifting and transfer methods with them; there have been no falls or injuries during my visits. In two years I have not missed a scheduled visit.

Huisache Home Care's new south side office is what made me apply. Many of the clients there speak Spanish at home, and I speak it fluently, so care plans and changes can be explained in the language each family uses. Following written care plans, including diet and exercise plans, is the core of my week: I cook to each client's diet plan, including low salt and soft food diets, a skill I first learned as a dietary aide at Riverwalk Senior Living, where I served 60 residents three times a day and noted each diet restriction on the tray card. I completed home health aide training and its competency evaluation in 2024, and my Basic Life Support card is current.

Shadowing one of your aides on a morning of visits would let your nurses see how I handle a lift transfer and write a visit note. After that, I would like to know how new aides are introduced to their clients in the first week.
