An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Age-Friendly Saco is committed to improving the lives of residents through projects focused on transportation, housing, communication, health services, outdoor spaces, and social participation. Transportation efforts include a volunteer program providing rides for medical appointments, increasing over time due to continued support and grants, with future aims to extend services beyond medical needs. Housing initiatives range from home improvement workshops to tax relief programs and future plans for a home-sharing platform. The organization emphasizes communication via newsletters, social media, and community events. Health services include food deliveries, medical loan closets, and health-focused discussions. In outdoor spaces, AFS has facilitated community gardening and improved beach access while promoting social participation through community events and dinner dances. AFS collaboratively works with other community groups, residents, and local authorities to fulfill its objectives.
