CSS Makes Everyday Technology Easier for Residents

We Eliminate the Small Problems, Gaps, and Frustrations That Residents Experience in Their Daily Lives.

In independent living, technology problems rarely come from one device.
They come from the gaps between services, spaces and vendors.

The Problem: TV and Streaming

"Two Remotes, Two Bills, One Confused Resident"



Solution by CSS

One Screen for Everything

DIRECTV channels, DVR and the community channel, with streaming apps running over the resident's own WIFI.

The Problem: Apartment and Amenities

"WiFi That Drops Between the Lobby and the Gym



Solution by CSS

One Login Across the Campus

Coverage designed for apartments, common areas and outdoor spaces, so devices stay connected as residents move.

The Problem: Vendors and Support

"Four Companies, and the Front Desk in the Middle"



Solution by CSS

One Partner, One Number

CSS owns TV, WIFI, phones and IT. Residents and staff call one 24/7 line, and we fix it.

Move-in Day

Everything They Unpack Should Connect on Day One

New residents arrive with a phone, a tablet, a smart TV and
often a smart speaker or smartwatch. CSS sets up the
apartment before the moving truck arrives.

Personal WiFi, Ready and Named

Each apartment gets its own secure network, so devices connect once and stay connected.

TV Service Live at Move-in

Channels, DVR and the community channel work as soon as the TV is plugged in.

Their Phone Number Comes With Them

We port an existing landline number so friends and family don't need a new one.

One Card, One Number for Help

A welcome card with WiFi details, the channel guide and the 24/7 support line.

Connected Entertainment

Entertainment That Feels Like Home, Three Ways.

DIRECTV for senior living gives residents the channels they know, and gives your team a screen in every apartment to share what’s happening.

In Every Apartment

HD channels, DVR, sports and movie packages, with closed captioning.

In Shared Spaces

The lounge, theater, fitness studio and bistro, each set up for how the space is used.

On Your Community Channel

Events, menus, transport times and announcements, updated by your team from any browser.

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!

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.

As a procurement consultant representing senior living operators, I've had the opportunity to evaluate a wide range of service providers and CCS consistently stands out as a best in class partner. Their team demonstrates a deep understanding of the unique needs within senior living environments, balancing resident satisfaction with operational efficiency. From initial consultation through through implementation, CSS delivers a seamless, highly organized process with clear communication at every stage which is critical when coordinating across multiple locations and stakeholders. What impresses me most is their ability to tailor solutions that align with budgetary constraints and evolving technology expectations. Their platform is reliable and easy to navigate for residents, and supported by a responsive service team . I highly recommend them to any senior living organization looking to enhance their resident experience.

I had an excellent experience working with this company on a DIRECTV installation for a senior living community. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, strong communication, and attention to detail. The installation quality was outstanding, and the CSS delivery was handled efficiently, ensuring a reliable and high-performing system. What really stood out was their commitment to customer service—they took the time to address all questions from both staff and residents, making sure everyone felt comfortable with the new setup. The technicians and installers were knowledgeable, respectful, and very helpful throughout the process. The customer service team also exceeded expectations with their responsiveness and support. Overall, I highly recommend this company for any DIRECTV or large-scale installation projects. They truly go above and beyond to deliver quality work and a great customer experience.

I’ve worked with Commercial Satellite Services (CSS) for several years now, and they continue to stand out as our preferred partner. While we have worked with multiple vendors in the past, none match the level of consistency, professionalism, and care that CSS brings to the table. From ownership with Dave to operations led by Greg and Jeimy, their entire team demonstrates a level of sincerity, integrity, and pride in their work that’s rare in the senior living technology space. They truly treat every vendor, customer, and client like family, and that shows in both their service and long-term relationships. Having worked with dozens of companies in this industry, I can confidently say CSS will always be the best and our favorite partner. Highly recommend.
