£2000 a week for my mum's dementia care home!

Your point is well understood, but just for clarity.
If your Mum was unwell/had a treatable illness, the NHS would still treat her for free.
People with cancer or a heart condition, would normally not be eligible for CHC. They would be medically treated by the NHS, and any care needed at home would be self funded or paid for by the LA ( if the person had a low level of assets)
Only certain specific cases, often very serious or terminal, qualify for CHC funding. The criteria seems to be someone who needs hospital type care ( drips, injections, transfusions, catheters, oxygen supply, regular nurse/doctor attendance etc) but where it is possible to be done outside hospital.
