Meet Approved Senior Network®

Our History, Our Now, and Our Mission Statement

2008

Approved Senior Network started as a small publishing company in 2008, called LTC Expert Publications, LLC.

Valerie VanBooven RN, BSN founded the company after years of working in many different roles from ICU Nurse to Discharge Planner, Home Care, Care Management and more. She wrote her first book in 2003, called “Aging Answers”. After that came “The Senior Solution” in 2009.

Valerie and her staff grew as more home care agencies and senior service businesses realized the undeniable value of being found online.

2010

George Novoson came on board as a partner in 2010. George has served as the guiding wisdom behind ASN’s business development strategies for over 13 years.

2011-2022

We have been along for the ride of economic good times and bad, the pandemic, and more.

 

Between 2011 and 2022, we rebranded, updated and upgraded our products and service lines, and consulted with hundreds of new and solidly experienced home care agencies across the US and Canada.
