Questions about monitoring, scrubbing & checking a LVM RAID5

Dear LVM2-People,

I made a native RAID5 via LVM on 3 SSDs without mdadm, since LVM2 can do 
it natively.

But I got confused about how to easily monitor it (send emails about 
errors, since it's a remove server) and how to check, repair and scrub 
the RAID5.

Using:
"sudo lvchange --syncaction check cryptdata_raid5/home" (same for 
repair) results in

Command on LV cryptdata_raid5/home does not accept LV type linear.
Command not permitted on LV cryptdata_raid5/home.

Does that mean LVM2 doesn't fully support native RAID5 and I should 
format everything and set up a mdadm raid5?
Because mdadm has scrubbing and email reports according to the mdadm.conf.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
