(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.

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.
