11-month résumé gap, advice? after 14 years as a payroll clerk

My résumé shows a gap from a layoff and some health issues. Any experience at all would help. I am nervous about being filtered out. Did anyone get past it?

I was hired after a 11-month gap. The manager said the skills test mattered more than the dates.

A short, honest line such as 'family caregiving' is enough for most employers. They mostly want to know you are ready now.
