About the Founder: Teri Hunter
Teri Hunter didn’t create SweetTee Rise by Teri out of business ambition—she built it out of purpose, passion, and love. With a healthcare background and decades of caregiving experience, Teri saw firsthand how many senior facilities lacked empathy, warmth, and personalized care. She vowed to do it differently.
“I created SweetTee Rise
Because I saw firsthand how challenging it can be for individuals to find a safe, supportive place that not only meets their physical needs but also nurtures their spirit and individuality.”– Teri Hunter
