(a) All laundry services for all apparel, linen, garments, towels, and hospital gowns shall be provided by a nursing facility or any category of intermediate care facility for the developmentally disabled at no cost to a recipient under this chapter. These laundry services shall be considered as part of the basic care provided by the facility under the daily rate provided for pursuant to this chapter. The director shall, if necessary, adjust the daily rate to provide for the costs of these services. A facility may, however, charge the patient a fee to provide special drycleaning or treatment for a garment needing this care, when the garment is owned by the patient and when the regular laundry service is not appropriate.
(b) A facility shall provide a periodic hair trim as part of its care for all patients who are recipients under this chapter. This service shall be included as part of the daily rate provided for pursuant to this chapter. The director shall, if necessary, adjust the daily rate to provide for the costs of these services. A facility may, however, charge a fee for beauty shop services for patients who request special treatments or styling of their hair.
(c) The director shall seek all federal funds available for implementation of this section.
