Acacia Abshire began her journey with Home Instead in 2015 as a Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator, and she soon discovered that keeping our loved ones at home was her passion. Acacia sought every opportunity to learn the business, how the company operated, and how each role functioned within the organization. Acacia spent five years locally, expanding on her knowledge and experience. In 2020 she was offered an opportunity to expand on these attributes at the Corporate Office in Omaha, Nebraska. During her time with the Corporate Office, she coached pre-existing franchises and assisted with the start-up of new franchises. While she enjoyed contributing to and developing various franchises across the United States, she dreamed of owning and operating her own Home Instead Franchise in Abilene. 

Acacia's husband, Jason Abshire, also has a deep passion for increased quality of life for our loved ones and the value-added toward quality of life when allowed to age in place. Jason received his Bachelor of Science in nursing from Texas Tech University Health Science Center. He is working toward his Master of Science in Healthcare Administration from Texas Tech University Health Science Center School of Health Professions. Jason and Acacia's long-term goals quickly aligned, and their passion and determination soon became a reality. On September 16th, 2022, Acacia became the owner and Chief Executive Officer of G.R.I.T. Home Care Service L.L.C., doing business as Home Instead. Jason and Acacia's journey has just begun, and they are excited to serve their community's seniors.
