When a resident presses a pendant, pulls a cord or hits a call button, the right caregiver is alerted on their phone instantly. CSS designs, installs and supports the whole nurse call system, and every call is logged so you can see how fast your team responds.

What is a Nurse Call System?
A nurse call system connects every resident room, bathroom and pendant
to your care team. When a resident asks for help, it shows staff exactly
who needs them and where, then records the response.
The resident calls
A pendant press, pull cord, bedside button or automatic fall alert starts the call.
The room lights up
The dome light over the door glows and the nurses’ station shows the room.
A caregiver is alerted
The assigned caregiver’s phone shows the room, resident and call type, and they can talk back.
The call is logged
Every response time is recorded for reports by shift, room and caregiver.
Why it Means
Your nurse call system is how residents reach help in their most vulnerable moments. When it’s outdated, calls get missed, staff get frustrated and you have no record of what happened.
Hallway Lights Nobody Sees
Dome lights and desk consoles only work when a caregiver happens to be nearby.
No Idea How Long Residents Wait
Without response data, you can’t answer a family’s question or a surveyor’s.
Aging, Hard-to-Repair Parts
Older systems run on discontinued parts, and repairs can take a call station offline for days.
Falls That Go Unreported
A resident who falls and can’t reach a pull cord has no way to call for help.
What Managed IT Means
Most communities run on break-fix IT: someone gets called after something
fails. Managed IT flips that around. Here’s the same Monday under each
model.
Break-fix IT
Reactive and billed by the hour
A Modern CSS Nurse call system
The right caregiver, alerted in seconds
How it Works
A modern nurse call system puts the alert in a caregiver’s hand, lets them
talk to the resident, and records everything automatically.
A pendant press, pull cord, bathroom station or automatic fall alert starts the call.
The right caregiver’s phone shows the room, resident and call type in seconds.
Caregivers accept the call, speak with the resident and unanswered calls escalate.
Types of Nurse Call Devices
We select the right mix for your residents, levels of care and staffing, then install, configure and support all of it.
Help that goes wherever residents
go.
A light pendant residents wear all
day. One press calls for help from
anywhere in the community.
The same one-press call, worn like a watch. Easy to reach and easy to remember.
Senses a hard fall and sends an alert
automatically, even if the resident
can’t press the button.
Help that goes wherever residents
go.
Calls arrive on smartphones or
wireless handsets with the room,
resident and call type. One tap to
accept.
A live view of every active call, plus
the reporting dashboard for leaders.
Visibility in corridors and at exits.
Lights above resident doors show
which room is calling. Often required
in skilled nursing.
Door sensors and resident tags alert
staff when a resident at risk
approaches an exit.

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!Posted on Google![]()

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!Posted on Google![]()

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 effortsPosted on Google![]()

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!!!Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()
