Residents of the Month
Meet Sandy Unger
Independent Living
Sandy was born in Waukegan, Illinois and is the middle child between two brothers. She attended school from elementary through high school in Freehold, New Jersey. After graduating, Sandy began working at a law office, quickly advancing to the role of office manager. She worked in the legal field for many years and also took on a bartending job, where she met many interesting people.
Sandy has lived in Florida for 17 years, recently relocating to Lake Howard Heights from Melbourne, and has been living there for two years. She liked it so much that she invited her mother to move in as well.
Sandy is a self-proclaimed “foodie” who enjoys eating out and trying new and different foods.
When asked what she loves most about living at LHH, she enthusiastically replied that it’s the people—both residents and staff—that make it great.
