Owner & Founder
Martin Toth
Martin Toth has lived in Todd, NC for over ten years, where he and his wife put down roots in the High Country community they love. An avid hiker, backpacker, and gardener — with more than 60 trees and fruit bushes on his property — Martin is as much a part of this landscape as the mountains themselves.
Like everyone in the High Country, Martin and his family were deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene in 2024. The experience of rebuilding alongside neighbors reinforced what he already believed — that this community takes care of its own.
The idea for High Country Senior Services came from his front porch. When a neighbor lost her husband and found herself without a support network, she showed up at Martin's door. He helped her navigate what came next. She became his first client. That moment made clear what he had seen throughout his career — the High Country has a fast-growing older adult population and nowhere near enough private-pay support to serve them.
Martin spent over a decade building programs across 16 North Carolina counties, serving as a one-to-one advocate for people with limited community support. That work — navigating systems, building trust, showing up consistently — translates directly into what he does now. The population is different. The mission is the same.
"I live here. I work here. I'm not going anywhere."
