A local professional with deep roots in the High Country community — and the experience to back it up.
Owner & Founder
Martin Toth is the founder and sole operator of High Country Senior Services LLC. A Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) based in Todd, NC, Martin combines 20+ years of hands-on construction experience with a decade of behavioral health operations background to provide private-pay aging-in-place assessment, modification, and coordination services to older adults across the NC High Country.
Martin's construction background spans more than two decades of hands-on residential work — installation, modification, repair, and home accessibility improvements. His personal tool inventory, truck, and trailer let him handle the full arc of an aging-in-place project: from the initial visual walk-through to the final installation of grab bars, handrails, ramps, and modifications. The same person who assesses your home is the same person who installs the modifications. No handoffs to rotating staff. For work outside HCSS's aging-in-place scope — licensed trades and larger remodels — Martin coordinates with or refers to appropriately licensed contractors.
Martin spent ten years in behavioral health program operations, where he managed programs serving vulnerable populations. He earned dual bachelor's degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology from Kent State University. This background informs how HCSS coordinates with healthcare providers, county agencies, and out-of-area family — not as a clinical provider, but as a knowledgeable navigator who understands how the systems work and where the gaps are.
"I live here. I work here. I'm not going anywhere."
Why HCSS Exists
HCSS exists because the NC High Country has thousands of older adults who want to stay in their homes — and a system that wasn't built to help them do it. Insurance won't pay for the modifications that help people stay safely at home. Home care agencies focus on personal care, not home maintenance. Contractors don't know aging-in-place principles. Out-of-area families don't have anyone local they trust. HCSS fills that gap as one local professional who knows the region, the people, and the work.
