From Serving Our Country to Serving Our Community – Meet Yvonne & Mike Mercadel
Two retired Naval Officers.
Fifty combined years of military service.
One powerful mission: To care for seniors with dignity and heart.
After decades of service in the U.S. Navy—Yvonne as a Surface Warfare Officer and Mike as an Air Traffic Control Officer – they chose to continue serving, this time in Yvonne’s hometown of El Paso. Their commitment to duty, family, and community didn’t end with retirement – it evolved into something deeply personal.
As the proud owners of Seniors Helping Seniors El Paso, Yvonne & Mike bring military values of integrity, responsibility, and compassion into every home they touch. They know what it means to show up, stand strong, and care deeply—because they’ve lived it.
Whether you’re a veteran or someone who values a team with discipline and heart, you’re in good hands with the Seniors Helping Seniors El Paso.

“For many seniors, the pandemic really sent their feelings of loneliness and isolation right through the roof! No one should have to combat loneliness. Sometimes the only thing you can do is give yourself. I enjoy my Seniors Helping Seniors® clients’ stories of their past. Just listening to what they have lived through and hearing their views of the present and the future can be an eye-opening experience. I really enjoy my visits! I hope that my presence is one of their presents for the week. Being a senior myself, the benefits work both ways.”
