Why CSS

Six Reasons CCRC Leaders Choose CSS

Plenty of companies serve one building or one service. CSS is built for the whole campus.

01

Every Level of Care, One Agreement

From cottage WiFi to health center nurse call.

03

A Named Campus Team

An account manager and project lead who know your campus.

05

Amenities That Support Sales

WiFi and TV prospects notice on tour.

02

Moves Handled for Residents

Numbers, devices and channels follow them across campus.

04

Ready for Your Next Phase

New buildings designed in with your architect.

06

30+ Years in Senior Living

Experience at every level of care, across 1,000+ communities.

Your Campus Today

Four Levels of Care. Often a Dozen Technology Contracts.

On most CCRC campuses, every building grew up with its own cable deal, WiFi vendor and phone carrier. The result is a patchwork that’s hard to manage and harder to grow.

With CSS, the whole campus runs on one agreement.

Illustrative campus and typical vendor counts.

One Partner Means Real People

We couldn’t be happier with our TV provider! Their customer service is truly exceptional. Anytime we have an issue, they jump on it immediately and make sure it gets resolved, even on weekends! Dave and Amelia are absolutely the best! What really sets them apart is that they take personal responsibility for every issue. You’ll never hear them say, “That’s not my department” or “Call the main number.” Instead, they take ownership, follow through, and make sure the problem is taken care of from start to finish. As a nursing home, having reliable TV service for our residents is extremely important, and knowing we have people like Dave and Amelia who genuinely care makes all the difference. It’s rare to find this level of dedication and customer service these days. Highly recommend!

CSSDTV has been great to work with! Dave and his team communicate effectively from start to finish and beyond! CSS helped us transition our community to a much less complicated service for cable television. If you have a senior community or large community in general, CSS is worth looking into for your needs!

I am an Executive Director who works at a community that made the transition to DirecTV using CSS. While it was not smooth (change with seniors never is) Dave Saenz work especially hard to address my residents requests and help make sure everyone was happy and taken care of at the end of the day. He went above and beyond helping family and residents better understand the transition and options and made himself readily available to answer questions. Additionally, the team that supported the install in the community to their time with our residents and worked to help the learn the new system. We really appreciated their efforts

I’m the Maintenance Director at Langdon Place of Keene. I take care of 74 Assisted Living apartments, 25 bed Skill Unit and 24 bed Memory Care Uint. The center offers a lot activities, amenities, and comfortable living. When the residents are done with their fun and our rehab residents want to rest and relax. They want to be able to watch their favorite movies, shows and keep up with the news. When we had an issue with a cable outage during the weekend. I called Dave Saenz, him and his team did not hesitate and acted promptly to recover our connection. There is always a great concern on getting support on weekends. Not with them, they didn’t hesitate and acted promptly to reestablish our connection very quickly. Our center is very satisfied with this company’s services. Even when we swapped over to them due to non stop issues with a previous company. We ran into some hiccups on the initial install and they fixed them right away. I highly recommend them if your center is looking for a very reliable company. Thank you Dave and the rest of the team. You guys Rock!!!

Dave and his team are incredibly attentive and helpful. In fact, their customer service has been excellent—whenever we need assistance, they’re quick to respond and help resolve the issue. It’s reassuring to know we can count on their support when we need it, especially owning a care home. Residents have been really enjoying DirectTv. Thank you for the reliable service and outstanding customer care!

Dave Saenz was a huge help! We were referred to him by our mentors for our senior living. Right when I contacted him, he was responsive and quick with my order. Thank you Dave for making this process smooth and easy.

We've been working with CSS for just over three years, and our experience has been excellent. At present, they operate in more than 30 of our senior living communities. There are plans to expand their coverage to all current locations as existing contracts conclude, and also to any future acquisitions and/or developments where appropriate. On the sales side, they truly listen to our needs, provide effective solutions, and stay within our budget. After the sale, especially regarding installation and service, the CSS team strives to minimize downtime during setup. If any issues arise during installation, they're resolved quickly, and any service concerns after handoff are promptly addressed. CSS collaborates closely with us, consistently showing flexibility and unwavering commitment to support our team and, most importantly, the residents who call our senior living community’s home. CSS is more than just a vendor, they are a partner working with us side by side.
