at startup script for that is the way to go.
the first step could be move the script out of event.d/ so that it runs only once.

It would be nice to have such a script installed permanently
(fsck only runs when it is necessary) and let it change the LED while fscking so that you know what its doing.

an alternative is to temporarily disable mounting /home in event.d/rcS-late.
it creates a new /home in rootfs and you can fsck the home partition from there.
then rm -rf /home and reboot.
