Why DIRECTV

Why Senior Living Communities are Switching to DIRECTV

Television anchors daily routines, sparks conversation in the lounge and keeps residents close to the news and teams they’ve followed for decades. When it stops working, the front desk hears about it first. DIRECTV, delivered and supported by CSS, is built to keep it working.

Solution

CSS standardized DIRECTV across all communities with centralized billing and support.

Easy for Every Resident

Simplified remotes with large buttons, closed captioning and clear on screen menus for residents with vision, hearing or dexterity needs.

Lower Cost Per Unit

Bulk programming priced for communities, not households. Most communities save 30–50% over legacy cable, without surprise box fees.

A Free Channel That’s All Yours

Share dining menus, activity calendars, announcements and emergency messages on every TV in the building.

A Clear, Dependable Picture

Commercial-grade DIRECTV equipment in HD, installed and tested by technicians who work in senior living every day.

Streaming When Residents Want It

Add live TV streaming, DVR, on-demand programming and Netflix or Prime Video integration for residents who want more.

THE CHALLENGES

When TV Isn’t Working,
Everyone in the Building Feels It.

Fewer complaints. Clearer bills. More time for care.

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.
