Spanish term or phrase: con o sin dependencias
A list of plans of an organization:

-El segundo es ocuparse de la población de la tercera edad, con o sin dependencias, para asegurar su convivencia continuada con la comunidad a nivel cultural, social y religioso.

It's really a comprehension issue here- so far I have 'no matter what their needs'

But I also thought dependencias could be refering to relatvies?

with or without disabilities (or) special needs
Explanation:
In my reading, this refers to senior citizens who may or may not have disabilities or special needs. You do not say whether your text is from Spain, but if it is it is worth underscoring that recently "dependencia" is used with the meaning of "disabilities" or "special needs." In effect, "dependencia" is used in Spain with this meaning, and recently a "Ley de dependencia" was passed in Spain to provide support for families who have to care for a family member who has a "dependencia", defined as special needs resulting from an illness, accident or the effects of old age.

Here is some info:

"La Ley de promoción de la autonomía personal y atención a las personas en situación de dependencia y a las familias de España", más conocida como «Ley de Dependencia», es una ley española que sienta las bases para construir el futuro Sistema Nacional de Atención a la Dependencia, que financiará los servicios que necesitan las personas dependientes, bien por sufrir una enfermedad o accidente invalidante o al llegar a la vejez.

La Ley establece tres tipos de dependencia:

* Grandes dependientes: aquéllos que necesitan ayuda las 24 horas del día.
* Dependientes graves: aquéllos que necesitan ayuda dos o tres veces al día.
* Dependientes moderados: aquéllos que sólo necesitan ayuda una vez al día.

Wil, I know this is a strange meaning for "dependencia," but it means "disability", The former term for "disability" ("discapacidad") is still used, but disabilities ("discapacidades) are measured as "grados de dependencia", meaning the degree of care that a given disability requires, or how dependent the disabled person is on his caregiver. Here are some examples:

Hi Rebecca, this was my initial reading of it and I think you're right. There is ambiguity, but contextually this fits nicely. Cristina's answer could also work. Many thanks to all!

Se refiere a personas dependientes, que no pueden valerse por sí mismas y que necesitan la ayuda de cuidadores, ya sean familiares o no. Sobre todo personas mayores o con algún tipo d eincapacidad.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  David Ronder: I've already agreed with another answer, but I do find this persuasive. Both answers are compatible, because if you have identified special needs, you will (in theory) have support.

  -> Yes, thanks David. If this text is from Spain, "dependencia" in the sense of being dependent on others as the result of disabilities or special needs is sort of a "catch word" right now in Spain
