Item 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This statement constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Statement on Schedule
13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC")
on July 18, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC
on July 27, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC
on August 18, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 3 filed with the
SEC on September 1, 2000, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 4 filed with
the SEC on October 13, 2000 and relates to the shares of common stock, $0.001
par value (the "Common Stock") of Coram Healthcare Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Issuer"). Unless otherwise stated herein, the Schedule 13D, as previously
amended, remains in full force and effect. Terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

         The principal executive offices of Issuer are located at 1125
Seventeenth Street, Suite 2100, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Item 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         The first three (3) paragraphs of Item 2 are amended and restated to
read in their entirety as follows:

         Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) of Regulation 13D-G under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), the undersigned previously filed a
Schedule 13D on behalf of Jeanmaire Weinstein ("Ms. Weinstein", Jackson Square
Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership ("Jackson Partners", Jackson
Square Management, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Jackson
Management"), Will K. Weinstein Revocable Trust UTA dated 2-27-90, a California
trust ("Weinstein Trust"), Will K. Weinstein ("Mr. Weinstein"), Peter Imber
("Mr. Imber"), Scott Dalton ("Mr. Dalton") and Michiko D. Baldridge ("Ms.
Baldridge). Ms. Weinstein, Jackson Partners, Jackson Management, Weinstein
Trust, Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Imber, Mr. Dalton and Ms. Baldridge are sometimes
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Reporting Persons."

         As described in Item 4 below, the Reporting Persons were concerned that
the Issuer was considering a restructuring that, absent representation of their
interests, would have been materially detrimental to them.

         In their efforts to protect their interests, the Reporting Persons
engaged in actions directly or through agents such that they may have been
deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Act. In any event, if any such group ever existed, it was terminated not later
than the appointment of an equity committee in Coram's bankruptcy proceeding as
discussed in more detail in Item 4. Neither the present filing nor anything
contained herein shall be construed as (i) an admission that the Reporting
Persons constitute or constituted a "person" or "group" for any purpose or (ii)
an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are or were, for the purposes of
Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, beneficial owners of any of the securities
owned by any other Reporting Persons. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the
Act, each Reporting Person is filing this Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D on its
own behalf and not on behalf of any other person. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1
is the statement made pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) of Regulation 13D-G of
the General Rules and Regulations under the Act.

Item 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         The aggregate purchase price of the 1,326,850 shares of Common Stock
referred to in Item 5(c) was $199,942.75. The shares were acquired with
available funds of each of the Reporting Persons.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Item 4 is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

         The Issuer disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 that "it may not be able to meet its increased cash



                                       10
<PAGE>


requirements." As disclosed in that Report and elsewhere, the Issuer has
suffered a number of financial difficulties and has engaged in several
reorganizations and restructurings as a result of those difficulties. The
Quarterly Report states that:

     "Coram has experienced pressure on liquidity due to its current levels of
     debt and the pace of its cash collections compared with its obligations to
     pay its vendors, suppliers, creditors and employees. Coram has reviewed its
     business plan for operations in light of the termination of the Aetna
     Master Agreement, the liquidation of R-Net and the potential sale of the
     CPS business. Coram's business plan does not provide for financial results
     that would guarantee sufficient liquidity to discharge debt obligations
     coming due in Fiscal 2001 or guarantee payment of cash interest on debt
     during Fiscal 2000. Coram is currently in discussions with the holders of
     the Series A and Series B Notes regarding additional debt restructuring.
     Such restructuring would likely include a conversion of a material portion
     of this debt to some form and amount of equity."

         The Reporting Persons were concerned that, absent representation of
their interests in the contemplated discussions, the Issuer would embark upon a
course of action that would be materially detrimental to their interests and the
interests of other shareholders. They were particularly concerned that a
restructuring that would be unduly dilutive of their interests might be
proposed. Therefore, the Reporting Persons each engaged counsel to represent
them with respect to their investments in the Issuer in general and any proposed
restructuring of the obligations represented by the Issuer's Series A and Series
B Notes in particular.

         Unfortunately, the Reporting Persons' concerns proved justified. After
Management of the Issuer ("Management") had indicated a willingness to enter
into discussions with representatives of the Reporting Persons, they did not
make themselves available for any such discussions. Instead, without any prior
notice to the representatives who had been in contact with Management, on August
8, 2000, the Issuer filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. On August 9, 2000 the Issuer filed a proposed Plan pursuant to Chapter 11
under which $71 million of indebtedness under the Series A and Series B Notes
would be converted into all of the equity interest in the Issuer's operating
subsidiary, $180 million of such indebtedness would remain outstanding on
revised terms and the Issuer would be dissolved with nothing distributed to
holders of the Issuer's Common Stock.

         The Reporting Persons believe that the enterprise value of the Issuer
is substantially in excess of the Issuer's outstanding obligations and, that,
therefore, the proposed Plan is manifestly unfair. The Reporting Persons
actively sought to form an equity committee to represent the interests of
holders of the Common Stock in the pending bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer.

         On October 20, 2000, the U.S. Trustee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court
appointed an equity committee (the "Equity Committee"). The Reporting Persons
believe that the Equity Committee will adequately represent the interests of
stockholders of Coram. Accordingly, most of the Reporting Persons have
terminated their engagement of legal counsel specifically retained to represent
them with respect to their investments in the Issuer.

         On November 21, 2000, the Equity Committee filed its objections to the
proposed plan and it is anticipated that the Equity Committee may oppose other
restructuring proposals, propose alternative restructuring proposals, or make
other proposals with respect to an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation of the Issuer that could relate to or result in
any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item
4 of Schedule 13D.

         Depending on market conditions and other factors that each may deem
material to its investment decision, the Reporting Persons may purchase
additional shares of Common Stock in the open market or in private transactions
or may dispose of all or a portion of the Shares that such Reporting Persons now
own or hereafter may acquire.

         Other than as described in Item 2 and this Item 4, none of the
Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in
any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to develop such plans).

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of

the other Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, own a
