Early Life and Background

Martin Bayne was born in Binghamton, New York in 1950. From October, 1972 to July, 1976 Bayne trained as a monk at Shasta Abbey, a Soto Zen Buddhist monastery in Mt. Shasta, California. He attended the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and earned his bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary sciences in 1979. Afterward, he earned his Master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a thesis focusing on accelerated production of human interferon from PolyI-PolyC induced fibroblasts.

Bayne began his career as a mutual fund broker, and worked for nearly a decade before starting his publication of Mr. Long Term Care, a newsletter devoted to long term healthcare insurance and support for those needing care services. He also founded New York Long Term Care Brokers in 1991, which became one of the largest insurance companies for long term care coverage in the United States.

Bayne was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's disease in 1995 at the age of 45. Several years later at the age of 53, he began staying at an assisted living facility. There, he received first-hand experience of the challenges that face residents in assisted living homes. This prompted Bayne to start his blog, The Voice of Aging Boomers, where he writes about his experiences and advocates reform of assisted living facilities, including improved handicap accessibility, social interaction, and available equipment.

Martin Bayne is also the author of Martin Bayne on Turning the Stream of Compassion, and has published an article on assisted living in Health Affairs.
